TB Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) @Ryan.: Fair enough :-) not trying to compete on the Scoville scale. Each to his own and all that. I prefer pickled jalapeños with the lettuce and the red onion (and the chipotle mayo). Then some birds-eye in the burger itself. Enough to provide some serious heat, but not to the point of overpowering everything else. @villa4europe: I beg to differ. Sour-dough buns for me, all the way.

chrisvilla4 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Burger, bun, cheese slice (which isn't even cheese) and slightly well done onions. Perfect. No bun which is trying to be a cake for me. I love avocado, jalapeños, salad and the like but not on my burger thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Brioche is pudding. I do not let it near my meaty delights. Bun, burger, maybe some bacon, cheese and some steak sauce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do quite like a brioche bun but it's got very boring that everywhere does them and you rarely get anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its ingrained in me, but I see most restaurants burgers have it on brioche and I like brioche, but for me it is always a pudding bread.

Davkaus Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There's no standard for me, got to vary it up! I usually go to a place called Annie's in Nottingham for burgers that have a ridiculous range of topping, definitely worth a trip for anyone that goes to Forest away this season. Last time I was in there I had this one, absolutely amazing. Burger topped with crispy tortilla basket, chilli garlic sauce, filled with Mexican spiced rice, refried beans, salsa, sour cream and a green Mexican chilli sticking out the middle. The one topped with bacon, american pancakes and maple syrup is pretty damn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's slightly different though, it's just really buttery dough rather than particularly sweet. I agree it's just unnecessary fanciness and would be happy with a normal roll.

BOF Posted September 8, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2016 Buns toasted on inside. Bit of ketchup on the lower bun with some cheese. Then the burger. Then more ketchup on the burger to keep some chopped white onion in place. Then a slice of tomato and finally a bit more cheese and the top bun. Perfick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Double bacon and plenty of cheese. Salad? Go stick that shit up your a**e pal. Edited September 8, 2016 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Brioche bun Lettuce Tomato Mayo BBQ sauce Raw onion and/or dried crispy onion Is my usual go-to if I'm making them at home. Quick, easy, delicious. The best burger I ever had was at a restaurant in Canada, it was a blue-cheese burger and it was phenomenal. I love burgers. They're probably my favourite food because they're so goddamn delicious and the possibilities are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Simpler, the better. Bun (none of this sweet brioche or donut crap) Excellent beef, seasoned only with salt and pepper Cheese Crispy bacon Onion Sauce of your choice Bam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I might get chastised for this but I feel like for the price, you can't beat a McDonald's double cheeseburger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Have you ever had a McGangBang? Double cheeseburger, mayo chicken. Combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Cheese, bacon, gherkin, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo, egg, onion and fried mushrooms are all regulars on my burgers at home, but rarely all at once. McGangbangs are ok, but I prefer a quad - 2 double cheeseburgers with 2 of the patties from one of them stacked on top of the other. Then you can use the spare bun for a chip butty. I once had a sextuple cheeseburger - the above, but stacking 3 lots of double cheese patties on top of one another. Death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Love a good a burger. And Avocado on a burger is awesome - ideally on a chicken burger with bacon.. Winner. However, why not try something different... One of my favs is to make the burgers from scratch and add onion granuals and chilli powder into the mince before shaping them into patties. Fry up the burgers, toast the bun (lightly) and fry up an egg to go on top. If you have some dill pickle, add that in as well. Now, whip up some gravy so that it is super thick and poor it over the top of the bun. If you got your egg right the gravy and yolk will combine to create a brilliant sauce. You could even add on some bacon... Goes great with some home made sweet potato fries. The only thing is, is that it becomes a knife and fork job, unless you're feeling grubby...

Jenko#4 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm going to open a whole can of worms here, but the greatest burger of all time is the 'Dead Hippie' Burger at Meatliquor in London. 2x mustard-fried beef patties, dead hippie sauce lettuce, cheese, pickles, & minced white onions. None of this Gourmet Burger nonsense, it's a proper dirty burger and served pretty much rare, but no burger I've had since can get anywhere near it. Would definitely recommend......
