In what order do you put stuff on your burger?

[AnnO'Neemus]

I just had a burger and compiled it in the following order:

- bun top
- three slices of tomato
- slice of Cheddar cheese
- burger
- some salad leaves
- bun bottom

And I got the distinct feeling I'd done it wrong. Not least because I was too lazy to rummage in the fridge for pickle and/or chutney.

I think the cheese should go on top of the burger, though, so that it melts a bit.

What say you?

[Looby]

My ideal burger would be
bun top (toasted)
Fried onion
ketchup or relish
cheese
burger
cheese
mushrooms
bun bottom (toasted)

But looby, the mushroom juice would soggyfy the bottom bun.

Sounds alright. Maybe put one of the tomato slabs between the burger and lettuce to stop the lettuce getting a bit too fucked from the heat.

But I can’t fit anything else on top of the burger without it all sliding out.

I start with the bottom half of a white bap which is toasted on one side only then build up. Have I been doing it wrong?

Nobody has mentioned bacon yet.

I prefer salad on the side. So.

Bun Top
Small amount raw onion (chopped and left for a bit)
Bacon
Cheese
Burger
Bun Bottom

a little imo. Toast both sides of both breads. The patty goes on the base, then the cheese. Then the red sauce and onions. Thus is a standard QP with cheese.

Bun top
Gherkin
Ketchup or some sort of relish - something smokey would be best
CHEESE
Burger
Fried onions
Mustard
Bun bottom

You can keep your salad out of it.

No sauce?

 

[DotCommunist]

I knew someone would bring bacon into it, well yeah mushrooms as well then, fuckin battered onion rings as well. They all go on top of the cheese, they are additions to the basic unitary set up of bread, cheese and sauce

 

[SpookyFrank]

Bun
Mayo
Onion (raw)
Lettuce
Burger
Cheese
Ketchup
Bun

This creates two distinct taste zones: the ketchup/burger/cheese axis and the lettuce/onion/mayo axis. Jumble these flavours up and you've got a total clusterfuck on your hands.

Toasting it makes a big difference, doesn't it.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I hate eating a burger that I can't pick uo and bite without it all falling to pieces so I never want any more that what I described. Any more and it all starts going to shit.

I like your style

I've given up on bacon on a burger.
As much as I love the stuff, its crap on a burger. Too much effort and it doesn't seem to go with it.

I think its just become a meme without people actually thinking about if its worthwhile or not.

There needs to be a two sauce axis. Sauce on the bottom bun, sauce above the burger, cheese directly above the burger.

My brother has a thing about Lettuce touching the burger itself. In his opinion the residual heat makes the Lettuce soggy. I disagree. I think the burger needs to rest, and then the crispness of the Lettuce is maintained.

Avo bacon burger tho...

In what way?

Butter????

I guess it gives a firm dry layer to put your stuff on. Stops it getting a bit soggy. Maybe gives it a nice extra flavour too if you do it on the bbq
