What goes on a burger? Need answer fast!

So I’ve got burgers (beef, turkey, veggie). I’ve got cheese (pepper jack, cheddar and smoked fontina), red onion, tomato, lettuce, avocado, ketchup, mustard, pickles.

That’s it, right? I’ve got all the standard burger toppings?

Why do I feel like I’m forgetting something really obvious?

(Family descends tomorrow for a barbecue; normally my family merely expects me to show up to parties with alcohol (which, frankly, I’m awesome at, both the showing up and the alcohol), but tomorrow they’re trusting me with the burgers and fixings, and I feel like I’m forgetting something really normal that goes on a burger…)

Some type of relish maybe?

3

On a turkey burger, I enjoy mayo.

4

The only standard fixing I might could see missing would be mayonnaise. As long as you didn’t forget the buns I’d say you’re good to go.

5

To echo the above, perhaps fresh sliced tomatoes, then you’ll need mayo.

6

Pimento cheese.

7

Bacon?

8

This. Word.

9

Aye, bacon.

10

What, no Swiss?

ETA: Oh, what about mayo? Any desire for mushrooms? (Though that one requires more cooking, and may not be practical.)

11

I third the vote for bacon. Mayo squicks me out a little but that could just be a regional thing.

12

Buns. oh, and cream cheese for me…

13

Throw the mayo into the bushes and ban anybody who requests it. Other than that, you have it covered. Relish could sub for the pickles, but that’s an individual choice.

14

Well, crap. I’ll pick those up in the morning when I get the ice.

Mayo, silenus has it. We’re not a mayo family. When anyone wants to marry into this family, s/he has to prove that (a) s/he prefers mustard over mayo and (b) s/he prefers dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I just can’t imagine that anyone would want mayo and admit it in front of the rest of the family.

Bacon, I rejected due to the mess while cooking. Can you grill bacon on the barbecue?

15

Whatever your kiwi freind has told you, do not put red beets on your burger.

I’d go with mayo and bacon if cooking it isn’t too much effort. Lots of people don’t like mayo.

I don’t always use mayo, but its good sometimes.

16

Wow. I’d be double rejected.

17

You probably wouldn’t want us anyway. We’re a bit weird. :slight_smile:

Well… Right now, apparently the fast food industry believes that a burger is incomplete without deepfried onion petals/straws and steak sauce. I could have made a mint on that 15 years ago when I first tried it.

19

But…caramelized onions are real good on a burger… and easy to “foil pouch” with some butter and a touch of worcestershire on a grill. Butter is good to baste a burger…White Tower “Butter Burgers”, anyone?

This question is pretty much answered by the array of toppings available on the burgers at Cheeburger Cheeburger. It’s definitely a superior burger in quality and taste and the combinations of toppings available make it the ultimate. (My Favorite combo is provolone, lettuce, onion, tomato, steak sauce, chopped garlic, and pickles.)

I like mustard AND mayo. Nothing better for a sandwich or burger than to have them mingle all squishy-like in my mouth, I say!
