Stop normalizing tomato on burgers

>>17186580
1 patty if there is tomato + lettuce.
2 patties if there is cheese + bacon + condiments, no lettuce/tomato.

smash burgers are objectively the best burger, and you can put 2-3 of those suckers between buns

>>17187010
>smash burgers
Yeah, you can fuck off, too. Imagine falling for the meme designed to make people actually want cheap fast food burgers. It's a scam to sell less meat in a form that cooks faster.

He didn't ask for a history lesson or to know why you think he should hate them, he just said he liked them.

You're both halves of a whole idiot, ain'tcha buddy?

Where the fuck do you think we are, faggot?

>>17187015
no, YOU fuck off

>>17186993
this. the tomato lobby and Big Pickle have too much power.

>>17186580
I agree, HOWEVER, one of those single burgers isn't adequate and two is too many calories/carbs from the extra buns. Thus, I typically just get 1 double burger. And I never get cheese. Good meat doesn't need cheese; cheese is just pointless additional calories and fat. Adds nothing.

You keep pickles out of this

Crinkle cut bread & butter pickles are wonderful. AS A FUCKING SIDE. NOT ON THE COCK SUCKING BURGER.
Other than that pickles are generally pretty lame, yeah.

It’s RAW

>>17187920
It’s better that way, try it

>>17187707
but, why is there ketchup on it?

The acidity of the pickles compliments the fattiness of the patty, much in the same way tangy condiments do. I think they definitely need to have a snap or crunch to them, though, so soggy and thick pickle slices are out. People don't seem to get this, and thus we've ended up with a lot of soggy burgers that have turned people off the notion of having pickles on their burger.
Tomatoes are the same. Rather than a gloppy snotty overripe slice of squishy tomato, I think it's best to have the tomatoes crisp enough to hold their shape and texture. You wouldn't want limp lettuce on a burger, then why settle for limp tomatoes.

The burger is a fascinating dish in that it embodies the supreme culinary fundamentals of contrasting and complimenting flavours and textures. A bad burger is a homogeneous gooey mush that all tastes the same.

>pickles are good on burgers
>but only in their worst form
More pickles for you mate, all I can say.

Big burgers should not be taller but wider.

>>17186580
I actually agree, but it depends on patty size. McD and Wendy’s standard patty, yes

>>17187978
Are you actually saying you enjoy soft and soggy pickles instead of crisp and crunchy pickles? Because I will find out where you live and beat the shit out of you.

>>17187999
I prefer wet and crunchy, which is why I specified bread and butter. I have yet to come across a SINGLE PICKLE that belongs on a burger. Wetter pickles obviously do not belong on a burg, they belong on the side if requested.
For a pickle to be dry enough but also have the crunch factor while also not being so sour it overpowers the other components of the burger........that has eluded me.
So, no pickles on my cheese burger. It ain't happening hos.

>>17187955
That’s tomato

>>17186580
2 patties is excessive

>>17186580
I absolutely agree, a single shake shack burger is the best burger in America.

>>17186993
fuck you retard, perfectly salted and peppered tomatoes go great on a fatty burger, much better than acrid pickles

>>17186993
tomatoes are ok, it's just fucking awful when they are shit quality, cut too thick and placed on the bottom of the burger.

>>17187015
fat, pink patties are pretentious and immature. here in the UK basically every pub does these huge flabby burgers that taste of nothing but sauce and i fucking hate it, it's such a waste of beef.

> It's a scam to sell less meat in a form that cooks faster
oh yeah that's why they give you multiple patties in a smash burger, because they want to gyp you on meat, that makes sense.
