how do you like your burger?
 

the Sonic thread really got me thinking.

what's your favorite type of burger? i don't care if you get it from a fast food place, sit downl diner, or if you slap that ground patty down and fry the sum bitch in a cast iron skillet while doing reverse cowboy with love of your life!!

i'll start:

I was recently at aldi's. found a ground brisket burger in the frozen section. i fried it up on the grill, threw on a double slice of colby-jack cheese and a slice on muenster. sliced red onion, sliced tomato from the garden and a light layer of mayo on a toasted onion roll (hamburger bun) from the local bakery.

DELISH!


what you got?!

I like them from Sonic.

I like a breakfast burger with bacon and egg if I eat out. If I cook at home I normally smoke my burgers on my ketel grill with a little bit of onion, Munster cheese, ketchup and mustard.

My favorite fast food burger is the Mushroom and Swiss from Hardees.

With cheese

I like mine with lettuce and tomato. Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes. Big kosher pickle.

Rare.

It doesn't matter to me if the person handing it off is black or white

cross-thread humor!! real life pain!!

For a fast food burger, I like In-N-Out's Double Double, Animal Style with Chopped Chili's.

If I am making them at home, I usually buy ground beef with 20% fat content. Don't work the meat too much when forming the patties. On the Grill or Cast Iron. Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Pickles, Hunts Ketchup, Mustard, and whatever cheese I have on hand. Cooked Medium to Medium Well.

Oddly enough, I get them from Sonic mayo only.

Either smoked burgers or smash burgers on the Blackstone, depending on the mood. Grilled jalapenos and American cheese. Maybe some bbq sauce or Heinz57.

I've reverted back to drive-in style burgers with thin, crispy patties with a little pink on the inside.

lmao

I generally like to smoke my burgers with a nice seasoning and a faint glaze of bbq sauce before I pull them off the grill.

I'd like to get into smash burgers more, but think the $450-500 it'll take the get the fancy griddle I've been looking at will stay on the backburner for now. Spending too much on collecting certs to justify the buy today.

Ok, to actually answer the question..

Rare with-
Ketchup, mustard, and pickles OR
Mushrooms and swiss OR
BBQ sauce and bacon (burgers are the ONLY thing I'll eat bacon on).

I also like the occasional sauteed onions.

Smash burger, lacy burger, however you call it. Thin patties mushed down onto cast iron for lots of char and crispy bits.

Yeasty bun, toasted.

Blue cheese crumbles

Duke's Mayo.

Those are the must-haves. Then I add the rabbit food, flat spinach or field greens, beefsteak tomato [with fresh ground pepper], raw sliced Vidalia rings, and a good garlicky pickle.

If it's available, I also enjoy a scoop of guacamole, maybe some slices of raw fresh jalapeno.

Crispy rendered bacon isn't out of the question but isn't necessary either. If it's there, I'll put it right on the blue cheese crumbles, thank you.
