how do you like your burger?

Medium to medium well (I eat most other beef rare to medium rare), lettuce, tomato and onion. Maybe a pickle. Ketchup or mustard, rarely both, but never, ever mayonnaise.

Medium rare, cheddar cheese, grilled or raw red onion, ketchup.  And a bottle of cabernet to wash it down.

Med well to well.

lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapenos, cheese (american, swiss, cheddar, blue, etc... I'm not too picky)

I also will have them with bacon, mushrooms, onions, avocados.

BBQ sauce, Mustard, Mayo, Ranch, Chipotle Ranch.

I'll really try anything on a burger. I'm a burger *trollop*.

Medium, medium rare if its bison (a local place has it).  Cheddar, red onion, thick sliced tomato, ketchup, mustard - perhaps a little lettuce as well.

Medium. Pretty much any and all toppings are acceptable, but not necessarily all at once.

med well, cheddar cheese and hickory sauce

or cheese, bacon, ketchup and mustard

mayo on burgers is for pinko communists

med well, provolone, and either

1. lettuce, tomato and ketchup
2. mushrooms and bbq sauce

Med or med rare.  Mushrooms, tomato, and swiss.

With regard to mayo, I noticed that most diners, whether you're in NYC or here out West, serve burgers standard with mayo and sometimes mustard but rarely ketchup. I think the mayo enhances the taste of a burger--sort of like the way restaurants use tons of butter on steak. If you've ever had a BK Whopper without mayo, you'll know that it simply doesn't taste like a Whopper. I know it's cool to put down mayo because it's bad for you and it was invented in France, but I like it.

Barney's (http://www.barneyshamburgers.com/) here in Cali has a Baja burger that comes with thick bacon, Monterey Jack, salsa, and avocado. If I had the ingredients readily available, I'd prepare it like that every time. Oh, and cooked medium--a little pink in the middle but still cooked enough to have a little texture rather than being mushy.

d'oh! I forgot about bacon!

I love Barney's!  Great burgers.

I also forgot about Bo-burgers.  Sauteed onions and a fried egg on top of a cheeseburger.  I must have had hundreds of those in college.

Mix up some ground beef with some oyster sauce and soy sauce.  Grill on BBQ then top the burgers with cheese, or pineapple.  They will be medium to medium well. Mayo, bit of ketchup and grilled onions. Yummers!

I don't like mayo on beef or any hot food. That's what hollandaise or bechamel are for... [sm_devil]

Anyways ,  I like mine med well, whole wheat or other interesting bun, bell peppers, and black pepper

med swiss pickles and mustard.

Ketchup and onions.  Onions grilled or raw, either way.

Burger has to be medium to medium-well.  Otherwise it's just ground beef.

Just had two for dinner with some nice cotc which was still attached to the ground this morning.

Depends on my mood. Tomato, lettuce, mustard, onions, cheese, pickles are all acceptable toppings.

Oh yeah - Bleu Cheese burger done right is awesome.

I rarely put ketchup on my burgers anymore.

Home or away burger?

Either way: patty cooked 'til it's no longer pink in the center.

Away: lettuce, ketchup.  Maybe cheese, maybe bacon, depending on how well I've been eating recently.
Home: anything from [same as above] to just the patty, cold, as a leftover.

Gonna start picking mine tomorrow. ;D

Case of the crabs?  [sm_scratch]

medium-well to well done.

If out and about, grilled onions and bacon with bbq sauce. If the grilled onions are not available, lettuce, tomato, onion (red onion preferably), mayo, mustard, ketchup, Bacon! sometimes cheese.

Darla's cool.  She eats dude burgers.

I never understand ($.02) the point of over 'topping' the burger. quality ground beef is SOOOO flavorful, i don't get the point of putting so many other things on it to dull out its flavor. this is particularly true for flavorful sweet sauces. i can get the aromatic crisp veggies to accentuate the savory beef flavor, and to add a new texture.  i also don't like the whole cold/hot mismatch with the lettuce/tomatoes and the beef.

Aske, my liking of ketchup may cross swords with what you say but I do agree in general.  Although I like lettuce and love tomatoes and cheese I don't put them on my burger - ever.  If it comes with all that I take it off.  And, to be honest, I use very little ketchup.

Every now and again I'll switch gears and go with nothing more than a little fresh salsa.  That's more of a change of pace thing than an equal preference.

 [sm_beertoast], of course everyone has unique tastes/prefs.

btw, just noticed i missed earlier the post about the buffalo burger.  i like those, but actually like ostrich even more for an occasional changeup, although the meat is so lean most restaurants can't cook it to order.

Sweet corn.

I'll amend for two things...

1)  Home burger - I'll turn some onion soup mix into my ground beef, cook the burgers medium, no lettuce, little ketchup/mustard, but the cheddar and thick tomato stay.

2)  Because I remain true to myself no matter the uncoolness of it - I do occasionally like some mayo on my burger.  :boxing:

Medium well, loaded.

That sounds either *trollop*ty or repulsive, I can't tell which.

When you get right down to it hasn't that been your life challenge?

No, I'd say it's been faking consideration of, or taking any interest in, other people.

that would be the stroh special. :D
