What do you like on your burgers?

[itsstillmatt]

As an outgrowth of the best burger thread...

I like mine with only dijon mustard. Of course salt and pepper are givens.

Mayonaise it the secret ingredient that no burger should be without. Ketchup is the vile ingredient that no burger should suffer.

Mayo
Mustard (yellow or dijon)
Onion (paper thin slice)
Tomato (thin slice)
Iceberg lettuce (1 leaf)

My wife also is a believer in mayo on burgers. I put mayo on my hot dog buns but rarely on hamburgers.

I like cheese. Cheddar or swiss preferably but american works as well.
Ketchup
Mayo
Red onion
tomato

Depending on my mood I might add iceberg lettuce and/or pickles.

I love a nice thick slice of tomato, some lettuce and thousand island dressing is a must! God that reminds me, I haven't had a burger in months.

WERD. my fiancee likes so much ketchup on her burger (and nothing else but a piece of lettuce) that it looks like a dying animal bleeding to death

My ultimate burger has:
1000 island (mayo if no 1000 avail)
lettuce
tomato
dill pickle
cheddar cheese
bacon
avocado

tomato,
meat sauce,
onion,
jalapeño peppers,
mayonnaise,
cheese, and
mustard

on my hamburgers...

For a nice change of pace, I might rock pepper jack, with a nice chunky salsa and some raw onion.

Mustard, onions. Sometimes blue cheese, but usually not.

a little quality kimchi is always good with a burger. not on the burger (although that sounds good too) but a little on the side

IMO, a quality kimchi is good just about any time of the day. I like teh kimchi melon the most.

i thought we were only talking condiments, but if we are building a burger,

i definitely need a thick slice of cheddar, swiss, or american chees on it, not completely melted, only on the hot sizzling patty where the juices of the beef swirl in and around the melted cheese , but the edge squares got to be still stiff, but slightly glistening due to the nearby heat.

also a thick slice of raw onion. i dont know, lot of people i know dont like it, and some dont mind it but no one i know thoroughly enjoy a thick slice of FRESH raw onion. it just enhances the tastes and textures of the beef and bun.

also a beefsteak tomato slice really red and juicy is great too.

More burger. Do we have any Rutgers students that can grab a picture of a Fat Cat and post it? I can't find a good one on google.

My favorites, in order:

1) ketchup only, sometimes cheddar cheese as well
2) sauteed mushrooms and onions with swiss cheese
3) ketchup, pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato. Sometimes add cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or swiss).

I like my burgers cooked medium, with a little salt and a lot of black pepper. A bacon cheeseburger is great, too. I won't waste my fat allowance by using mayo on a burger.

I have a friend who maintains that burgers demand ketchup; hot dogs require mustard and the two should never be switched. I'm not that "dogmatic" and will sometimes eat mustard on my burgers. Burgers are too good to limit yourself to only a couple ways of preparing them.
