Let's talk about hamburgers

[hamster]

What are your favorite toppings? 

And, yes, I'm aware it's still really early for this conversation but I'm working on my food menu.

[mainelyfoolish]

Caramelized onions and cheddar cheese.

[mrsd2006]

Bacon, cheese and ketchup only.

[cajunmom]

I am boring and only put ketchup and mustard.

H likes an egg on his.

[konapoppy]

Cheese, mushrooms and jalapeños!

[Deleted]

cheese, bacon, avocado, barbecue sauce, a garden tomato if it's available

caramelized onions and mushrooms, Swiss or Gruyere cheese

lettuce, tomato, homemade mayo (or heavy mayo)

[Awkward]

Bacon, mushrooms, sauteed onions, steak sauce. BBQ sauce. Thousand island dressing. Bread and butter pickles. Avocado.

Obviously not all at the same time, but in various combos. Jeebus I'm hungry now.

[mbcdefg]

caramelized onions
sauteed mushrooms
bacon
runny fried egg
American or cheddar cheese

Not all at once, of course. (I mean, it'd probably be tasty but you'd also have to carry me out on a stretcher.)



I'm making black bean burgers tonight and I plan to add some goat cheese on top of mine. 

I get a lot of ideas from a local burger joint that we love: www.lbburgerbar.com/menu/

Bacon
Mushrooms
Guacamole
Grilled Onions
Bbq sauce

I had a life-altering one from Tupelo Honey Cafe recently. It had green tomato chow-chow, pimento cheese, fried green tomato & bacon. It.was.glorious.

I tried to easily recreate using store bought chow-chow & pimento cheese & it wasn't as awesome.

Though, pimento cheese is a new topping favorite. And I'm totally going to can my own green tomato chow chow this year!

At my usual hamburger place, I do jalapenos, mushroom, hot pepper relish and cheese. If we are talking lamb burgers then I love tzakiki, tomatoes,red onions & feta.

[irene adler]

Blue cheese dressing, lettuce, tomato, onion

This, but without the guac. I might have to try that next though.

And damn you all, now I want a hamburger. And fries.

[raangoli]

Gah. All I've wanted for weeks now is a oh so bad for you turkey burger but there is no where close that I like. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll make my own this weekend.

[sfy]

Gouda, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and bbq sauce
Blue cheese, sauteed mushrooms, french fried onions, and a little A1 sauce

There is a burger restaurant in town that I like, but it can be hit or miss. When it's on point, I love this one:
Angus beef, Emmi Roth buttermilk bleu cheese, caramelized onions, soy truffle vinaigrette, frisée, pickled shallots, and red wine jam

[ally]

pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato

[Wanderista]

I like grilled onions, cheddar or Swiss, sometimes lettuce, mayo and definitely bacon. I do like mushrooms too.

I do like a fried egg though I don't have it often. I've also liked having green chiles or sundried tomato aioli. I would probably like guacamole or a chipotle sauce.

I'm a bit adventurous when I go to a cool burger place, I will try unusual things. Good cheese and good bacon are my basic must-haves though. Without those at a cook out, I'll just eat it plain or get a plain hot dog.

plus ketchup. mmmmmm

sometimes i like cheddar and bbq, but i really prefer bbq chicken sandwiches

[mbcdefg]

Oh, and the sauce they use at Shake Shack is really good. I've made it at home ... mayo, ketchup, pickle juice, mustard, and spices: www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/10/the-fake-shack-shake-shack-burger-recipe.html

[SJ]

Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado

Ketchup and/or Ranch Dressing

[Susie]

Oh God, I went on a cheeseburger kick while I was pregnant (my run ended tragically when I was dx'ed with gestational diabetes) but I am back on the train now.

Provolone, cheddar, bleu cheese, swiss, avocado, roasted red peppers, sautéed onions, bacon, barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, pesto, chili sauce, aiolis of various flavors... not all at once of course. There are just so many options.

[keweenawlove]

Mmmm burgers. I'm already looking forward to the one I'm supposed to have on Friday night.

Not all at once, but I love - fried onions, pepper jack, jalapenos, blue cheese, bacon, avacado, aiolis to match the current combo.

There's a place here that does a peanut butter burger I'm tempted to try.

[winnieandwine]

lettuce, tomato, extra onion, extra pickles, cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, dab of mayo.

[Poppy]

Green chiles or jalapeños and good cheese are my faves.

I also like grilled/caramelized onion, lettuce, tomato, etc. Occasionally a black n bleu burger really hits the spot. Damn, I'm suddenly famished.

[alleinesein]

Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple and teriyaki sauce.

[Pom]

Goat Cheese and Pepper Jelly.
Blue Cheese or Cheddar (depending on my mood) with Bacon.
Avocado and Creamy Ranch
Lettuce, Pickle, Mayo.

[Nonny]

Peanut butter and bacon, but only if I'm incredibly hungry and not wanting fries or a shake, because it's so rich and filling.

Bacon and avocado

Swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms

Pepper jack and jalapenos

Feta and olives (on a lamb burger)

[laurensmomma]

There's a brew pub a couple hours away from me that I always go to when I drive through the town. It has gorgonzola cheese, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, blue cheese dressing and onions on it that is to die for. Maybe literally, with all that cholesterol, lol.

[lys]

Onions, cheese and catchup

[Deleted]

Gouda and avocado with a chipolte mayo... may hap some pickled purple cabbage or fridge dill pickles. My flavors may differ due to it being a veg burger.

[orangeblossom]

Onions and any meltable kind of cheese: chedder, gouda, mozzarella, swiss, ketchup

I love Red Robin's Bonzai burger with pineapple and BBQ sauce.  I don't get the may or other toppings on there, as that is just too much for me.
