i would eat a beef burger with everything listed there except sauerkraut

>>14059756
Either a thin spread of mayo or butter on both the top and bottom buns if you're doing a whole mess of wet toppings like that.

Lamb burger sounds interesting, never thought about it.

Wash it down with a Cheerwine or RC Cola.

Turkey should be chicken, lamb is certainly third but is so much less popular that it might not be worth mentioning.
The beef burger is overstuffed. There's only so much you can do to improve structural integrity beyond toasted rye, wrapped and skewered before you have guaranteed bun bursting or crouton soup.

Bun
Condiment
Something for crunch, almost always lettuce.
Something juicy, almost always tomato.
Patty
Bun

Everything else is an optional extra and I tend to prefer as many as possible, while remaining synergistic and maintaining structural integrity.

Mcdonalds are the absolute worst burger makers in the world. Skimp on the patty, falsely advertise the presence of onions and pickles, nothing for crunch or juiciness (except an abundance of overpowering sauce) and that's it.

>>14059756
Bun, tomato, patty, cheese, raw onions, little bit of ketchup, bun = perfect

>>14059756
cheap small bun toasted on the griddle with butter, thin smashed burger 80/20, american cheese from the deli, bacon if available

>>14061641
I like a nice sourdough.

>>14061641
>american cheese from the deli
who are you kidding

>>14061703
I don't mean like a real deli. boars head american is actually good. i get a pound for like 5.50 sliced at the lucky's near me when its on sale

>>14061781
*fresh sliced

>>14059756
I'll bet $100 an Australian or other miscellaneous faggot built this pic

>>14061792
Not a chance. Turkey burger means it was a dumb American.

>>14061001
Too many flavors competing.
Enjoy eating brown.

>>14059756
Toasted bottom bun, lettuce, onions pickles, patty, cheese, ketchup, mustard, top toasted bun. In that order.

>>14061001
What a pretentious douche

>>14062752
No, it's just tangy with some spice.

>>14062842
Eat your burger however you want. I'll eat mine the way I like.

>>14059756
>No hula burger
Shit taste, OP's post disregarded. 3 day old soggy pineapple with a piece of plastic cheese on top is the only true burger.

>>14059756
pickle relish works good on burgers

What's a good substitute for lettuce?

>>14059756
>Lamb burger with no mint sauce option
Why though?
>>14062885
You'd just want something moist and crunchy without a strong taste, I guess. Could use cucumber? Maybe celery? Both easily accessible and mostly water

>>14059756
>Cheese not on the bottom

Cheese on the bottom makes it untasteable

half that shit does not belong there

>>14065691
Correct, I just wanted a nice pic to use that provided examples of the most common burg ingredients.

Raw vegetables on burgers suck and so do rare burgers

>>14065750
Agreed, I like to let the blood seep out of the beef and cook on the outside, gives it a nice flavor

>>14059756
I do like a burger with the lot, but when I'm making them at home I like to keep it simple.
Beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, raw onion, some kind of sauce. That's usually about it.

>>14065750
fuck you veggies (on a moderate/reasonable number) are good on burgs

>>14062885
Grilled lettuce

>american
>cheddar

>>14066266
Hey anon, we make cheese too bro. I don't know if you live in America or not, but I live in Iowa, we make our own cheese, and in Wisconsin (right next to us) they do the same thing as us but on a larger scale. We got all sorts of cheeses!

>>14066266
Imagine pretending not to like american cheese on a fucking burger because some faggot celebrity chefs told you that you aren't allowed to.

>>14066299
this
doing things just because a celebrity says so it's retarded beyond limits.
cheddar on burgs are nice

>>14066299
You stupid slut. Learn what cheese is

>>14066299
>because some faggot celebrity chefs told you that you aren't allowed to
Actually we hated it ever since McDonalds opened in our respective countries. It's truly disgusting. And it's not even cheaper than real cheese.

buns, meat, cheese, sauce, and/or egg
don't need anything else

>>14060695
>raw onion
I don't think I've ever had grilled onions and thought, "I wish these were raw." I've certainly felt the other way.

I fucking dare anyone to improve on this order.

Bun not important
Spicy brown mustard
Arugula
Grilled onions still in rings
Muenster cheese melted on meat
Spicy pickle relish
S&P on meat
Medium
Olive oil mayo
Bun
That's it thats all you need. Maybe grilled shrooms and a change of cheese. Burger toppings become such an clusterfuck/overcrowded mess when you have three kinds of meet and a fried egg. If I want a chili burger i go to a place that makes chiliburgers and nothing else. Every pub/14+ dollar burger place feels the toppings should be a pissing contest withsome fuckedup honey or jam thing and then there are those Bacon is life mongoloids. Also don't put pastrami on a burger. Nothing about those two meats' flavor or composure make them good neighbors. Sorry to rant I seriously loathe the 'how high can we go' mentality of burgers that has seemed to sweep the world.

>>14059774
The spinach was only acceptable on the non-beef burgers according to the diagram. That was for use on Turkey and Lamb burgers.

swap american cheese for a good cheddar, maybe chedder + pepperjack

>>14059756
For me, it's cheese, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, hot sauce.

>>14069770
If it were a burger with a single thick patty and stronger flavors then sure but for a smashed patty? Fucking forget about it; American is the only valid choice. Adding moisture and a creamy texture is as important as the taste for thin-patty burgers and American cheese can't be touched in that regard - plus it's traditional.

>>14066338
>>14066355
You know when we're referring to American cheese, we're not talking about Kraft singles, right?

>>14059756
The burger has to be the star of the show otherwise it's a condiment sandwich. Also, don't cheap out on buns.
Anyways here's what I do (top to bottom)
Top bun
Bbq sauce
Caramelized onions
Bacon
Cheese
Burger
Lettuce
Yellow mustard and CHUP
Bottom bun

>crown
>real cheese
>maybe some bacon if it's not soggy thin shit you can't even bite through
>borger, well done
>heel
Garnishing is for fags who need crunchy sour glop to disguise stale bun or chemical american cheese taste.

>>14069875
Moisture is not the job of cheese, you're looking for mayonnaise.
Creamy texture is counterproductive, you're trying to add crunch to balance out the texture of the buns and patty.
Not to mention your abandonment of flavour.
There is no use case for American cheese.

Always start with the bun. Packaged buns are trash, nothing but puffed up processed flour and corn starch molded into the shape of bread. Go to the bakery and get buns that'll actually bounce back when your press on them. No matter how good your toppings are, your burger will always be shit if you don't have a good bun.

My personal favorite:

>gorgonzola crumbles
>patty
>sauteed red pepper and red onion

>Moisture is not the job of cheese, you're looking for mayonnaise.
Melted cheese isn't moist where you live?

>Creamy texture is counterproductive, you're trying to add crunch to balance out the texture of the buns and patty.
That's what the lettuce and pickles are for, as well as raw onion if you decide to opt for it.

>Not to mention your abandonment of flavour.
There is no "abandonment" you limey fuck; the cheese being gooey, creamy, mild and salty is an integral part of the classic cheeseburger experience. A cheeseburger is neither healthy nor balanced; it's a gut bomb of meat, melted cheese and white bread

>There is no use case for American cheese.
>let me tell you about your country

>>14071367
Process cheese is literally just cheese melted with an emulsifier and it was invented by the fucking Swiss.

It's not that creamy, it's not that mild. Gooey is counterproductive.
A cheeseburger can be healthy and balanced, and all the best burgers are.

>>14071450
I don't care if the Swiss invented emulsified cheese. I'm critiquing you're misuse of the term American Cheese. Especially since you called people out on their correct usage.

>>14071489

>Non-reply

>It's not that creamy,
It absolutely is.

>it's not that mild.
Weren't you just complaining about "abandoning flavour"? Pick a lane.

>Gooey is counterproductive.
Gooey is entirely appropriate for cheeseburgers.

>A cheeseburger can be healthy and balanced,
Not the one I described, which is the traditional cheeseburger. As nice as that flavor from the grill is, the flat-top remains the eternal and unambiguous champion of burger cookery.

>and all the best burgers are.
Lies.

>>14071492
>I'm critiquing you're misuse of the term American Cheese
"American Cheese" in its most basic form is literally just emulsified mild cheddar.
