What Instantly Ruins A Burger?

[sne]

Company.

[bobzy]

BK gets it right with this:

 

 

No tomatoes soaking the bread.  No mayo or burger sauce just going everywhere.  Bread, meat, cheese.  Done.

 

Edit:  I guess that's a bit off topic so... the things mentioned are the things that ruin a burger.

I've had a small Salter one for five or six years. Might be time for a larger version.

Either of the Ninja Foodie Dual ones. Hands down the best out there but as a consequence, also like rocking horse shit to get hold of.

There's a merkins / gherkins joke in here somewhere...

Have scanned the replies and made it a poll.

Can add another choice if needed.

It depends on if you are making it yourselves or if it's at a restaurant or burger joint. Generally not a fan of lettuce or tomatoes on burgers nor of burgers that are overly big with loads on them.

Less is more as long as the bun and meat are quality. One of the best burgers I ever had only had meat, bread and fried onion. Rest of the stuff was served on the side.

agreeing with height. If it's so unwieldy I can't pick it up with my hands, I'm annoyed.

Served on anything that isnt a plate. I will accept just about anything on a burger, but serve it on a slate, or a wooden block, then its goodnight vienna.

What about a Bigmac box?

Excellent thread topic btw.

The only thing I don't get with burgers is the tomato they use is always a massive buffalo tomato, which are 99% water. This achieves two things, it dilutes any flavour that is there and it absolutely ruins the bun, just why?

You forgot unripe, they never use a ripe tomato, it's alway pinkish in colour and hard, not red, soft and full of flavour

The cult of the air fryer gets everywhere.

If you're making anything other than a double smash burger with cheese, are you really making a burger?

[Davkaus]

If it's well cooked, I'll have just about anything on a burger. A nice simple, fresh one with lettuce, tomato and onion, nice. A big dirty bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce? Ace. A sunday roast burger? Alright, why not.

They've all got their place if they're cooked well. I don't even mind if I have to slice it in half and have some napkins on standby., You fussy buggers

What is this obsession with Mac & Cheese everywhere? One for the things you don't get thread. 

Especially in a burger when they do the deep fried bread crumbed piece

That's garbage

... What?

[Jonesy7211]

The meat can ruin it if it's not good quality. Nothing worse than a gritty, greasy burger.

I'm not vegan at all but the best burger is a portbello mushroom with halloumi or mozzarella. Little bit of salsa.

I am vegan, and if the veggie burger option is a massive **** mushroom, I'd rather take a shit on a plate.

BBQ sauce. It's too strong a flavour. I'm tolerant of most things on a burger once they know their place. BBQ sauce does not know its place.

Far too sweet too.  Don't get me started on BBQ base pizzas!
