Life's too short to eat burgers only one way!!!!
+ lettuce, onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard, mayo
+ cheese, onion, pickle, and barbeque sauce.
+ chili, lettuce, pickle, mustard (Chili's Oldtimer with Chili, when they used to be on the menu.)
+ bacon, cheese, grilled onion, grilled mushroom
That's all I got, but there's more. It's all good as long as it's not fudruckers.

Interesting.
I'm with wayfriend regarding Fuddruckers.
Personally, if they'll cook the burger rare (rarer and rarer these days) I really like Chili's for burgers.
Otherwise, a local chain called Gators Dockside (my treat if you ever do come to Gator Town, dlb!) has the best burgers locally. Hyperception insists on the Tailgate Burger whenever he goes.
(but, oh no! The menu has been changed and it says they only cook burgers medium and above as well. nooo)

Just askin'. (Can you tell I think this is kinda weird?


Oh! I got so sidetracked by the image of peanut butter on a hamburger that I forgot to post my favored combo.... It depends, of course.
Generally I skip the cheese. Unless it's a mushroom-Swiss burger. In that case, I add ketchup and onion.
Regular ol' burger: ketchup, mustard, relish, red onion. Unless mayo, lettuce and tomato are available, in which case it's:
Whopper-style: mayo, lettuce, tomato slices, onion and dill pickle slices. (There's no mustard on a Burger King Whopper -- or at least there wasn't when I worked there during college.)

Of course not, silly. Then you'd need a pound of bacon, too.Damelon wrote:Do you think I'm Elvis?aliantha wrote:Bananas too? Or Marshmallow Fluff?Damelon wrote:Mustard, ketchup, onion and pickle.

That would probably go better on the burger with the peanut butter than the banana or marshmallow fluff...

I'm admitting my age when I say it used to be on the menu. It's been a long while. When it was gone, there was a period of time where I used to be able to ask for "an old timer with chili", and they still knew what I meant. Then for some years I could order "an old timer, and put some chili on it" and they would manage. But as of the last couple years, I get a quizzicle expression, and I inevitably end up with the chili on the side (like I can't really mean that I actually want it on the burger!), and it's marginal chili to boot, all sauce, a dash of meat, no beans or vegetables. It's almost not worth it any more. Sheesh. I shoud go over to the rant thread.Menolly wrote:I missed this part of your post earlier, wayfriend.

A burger needs to be medium or above. Too much bacteria in ground beef. I usually prepare mine medium well.Menolly wrote:Interesting.

I'll still take my burgers rare, and enjoy my steak tartare with raw oysters when I can get them, thank you very much.
What's important is finding a restaurant that grinds its own beef fresh, instead of buying pre-ground beef at a plant. Or so I've been told. Gators Dockside used to do such. I wonder if the menu change means they have discontinued grinding their own beef.
