Mayo goes on the bottom bun only. It acts as a grease barrier to keep the juices from destroying the structural integrity of the bottom bun. Learned that one from Alton Brown. ---

I’m going to single handedly put this topic into the pit with my next statement: Yes I do except I’m counting Miracle Whip as Mayonnaise for purposes of this topic. Mustard on top, Miracle Whip on bottom. As a kid we used something called Big H Burger Sauce. Man I loved that stuff. ---

No. Mayo is a necessary evil on some sandwiches, but not a burger. My preference would be guac. And I love mushrooms. And I would not so no to bacon. But not mayo on a burger. It’s just wrong in so many ways… ---

Lord, no. I have to stifle a gag reflex if I have a bite of a burger with it. ---

If you are, “It’s doesn’t matter”, “Leery” or even “Hate” mayonnaise on a burger do not, I repeat **DO NOT** get the “Angus Deluxe” from Mcdonalds. It is a Mayo sandwich with additions of Beef, Tomato, Lettuce, Pickle and Onion. No where does it state that Mayo is slathered all over it… > **[McDonald's: Burgers, Fries & More.

It was gross…no ketchup or mustard anywhere, it was all MAYO. :mad: ---

I like mayo on burgers and I have to scrape a lot of it off the bun when I get that burger. ---

Love me a burger with spicy mustard, veggies, and mayo! As big a fan as I am of Sriyonnaise, though, I don’t think it belongs on a burger. Plain mayo enhances the beef’s flavor, whereas Sriyonnaise waves its arms around and shouts, “Hey, lookit me! LOOKIT ME!” ---

I don’t take mayo on anything ever. The stuff frankly disgusts me. No offense to those who enjoy it, you’re welcome to take my share. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-put-want-mayo-on-your-burger/624089.md?page=3)
