What's on your burger?

Maybe a Portabella mushroom on top, maybe Swiss or provolone or yellow cheese. No tomatoes, no onions, no mayo, no mustard, no ketchup, maybe lettuce. and maybe BBQ sauce.

First, we need to get the proportions correct. These double/triple/quad burgers have way too much meat for the amount of bun. I’m a carb freak- I LOVE THEM!!! So a burger has to have enough bun to carry the goods.
Then add ketchup and onions. Served along with a beer a and you have all the basic food groups.

Some of my favorite sauce toppings- tabasco, or bbq, or salsa…. the old standby is ketchup, pickle, mayo, cheese, and bacon.

I like several different varieties. Onion ring, BBQ sauce, Apple smoked bacon and sharp cheddar, also like chicken breast with bacon, cheese and BBQ burger. Also I enjoy your basic bacon cheese burger except here in Idaho we invented “Fry Sauce” to go along with our fries and tots which is basically mayo and ketchup (Secret blend…lol) and that is good for dippin instead of ketchup.

Start with burger made from good Kentucky bison or venison.

Any combination of all of the above mentioned ingredients will do. Bring it on. The more toppings the merrier!

If it sits still, I will generally put it on a burger. I really like grilled onions, mushrooms, and bacon are my favs.

Being new to the south, I love ‘slaw’ on everything!

-- Berta in NC

Those “slawburgers” seem like an NC specialty… I visited some family outside of Raleigh and went to a cookout. They were shocked I’d never heard of slaw on a burger – and I’ve lived all over the South!

Living in Atlanta I do need to mention The Varsity... ”What’ll ya’ have, what’ll ya’ have.”… 80 years old and it’s still packed most days!

-- Tim D. - Woodstock, GA

Slawburgers must be either a recent or very local thing then… never heard of ‘em before and they don’t do ‘em that way anywhere in the South I ever lived. (Born and raised there, and spent a good chunk of my Navy career in the Norfolk and Charleston (SC) areas.) They definitely don’t do ‘em that way in and around the Triad in NC.

They do server slaw on BBQ sandwiches in North Carolina though.

-- Derek, Bremerton WA --

I’m simple. just a burger and a bun!

Sauteed red onions, bacon, and A-1 or
chili, slaw, cheese, and mustard

We had a guy from Wisconsin worked at the fire department for a while. He thought we were trying to pull a prank on him about slaw on hot dogs and hamburgers… but he thought sauerkraut on a hot dog was ‘normal’. Well, maybe in Wisconsin Its all good, right?

I’m visiting friends in Michigan where they put black olives on burgers. Waiting to discover if they put ketchup & lettuce on pizza.

-- Go STARS!

Vermont sharp cheddar cheese, thick sliced pepper bacon, mushrooms (not portobello), shreaded lettuce. ketchup (Heinz) and yellow mustard. Of course, the bun should be toasted!
