How do you like your burger?
I like mine made of sirloin ground beef topped with ketchup, sharp cheddar cheese, red onion, guacamole and green chile. Of course, the bun must be toasted.

Bite into a hard fat ball once and it scarred me for life...

4. Ya know, I made us some wonderful turkey burgers the other night
with Emmenthaler, pickles, vine-ripened tomatoes (outta season and imported, but I couldn't resist), crisphead lettuce, Bell pepper and red onion, with optional mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard and green chile sauce. They were MUCH better than beef (less greasy) but not nearly as good as the meat/poultry-free burgers I found last summer in our Coop. These were wonderful, but the meat-free burgers were YUM!

6. From Dyer's over in Memphis
And I'm sorry if I've given anyone a heart attack just by reading that.

If you don't know about Dyer's burgers, do some research. GOD, they're so good though.

Edited on Sat Feb-21-09 01:01 PM by Lyric
Ground sirloin beef, cooked medium-well (preferably grilled,) topped with sharp white cheddar, a couple of crisp bacon slices, sauteed mushrooms, and good dijon mustard.

Oh yes--and on grilled sourdough bread slices, preferably.

10. Coarse-ground chuck....
shaped to a patty with as little handling as possible and salted with coarse kosher salt... Grilled over hardwood coals to medium rare with a slice of swiss cheese added a minute before removal.... Onion roll singed over the coals... iceberg lettuce, garden fresh beefsteak tomato, diced red onion, Hellman's mayo. Pickle and potato salad on the side.

How often do I get this burger? VERY seldom.

13. Just as friends. I'm not willing to go to the next level, at least not right now.
All seriousness aside, here's a photo I took of the first burger I grilled on my new CharBroil gas grill (July 2008), cooked to a perfect MEDIUM, with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced red onion and 1000 Island dressing:

19. Amy's Texas Veggie Burger, two slices of sharp Cheddar, fresh pico de gallo
and Veganaise on a lightly toasted potato-bread bun.

Weird, eh, eating Veganaise but still eating cheese? Can't figure it out myself.

My second favorite is using lettuce and tomato and srirachi sauce instead of pico. Depends on what I've got.

It gives it a nice, smokey flavor.

27. I have a turkey burger once in awhile.
I like it with bacon, avocado, and sprouts, "California" style.

For some reason, I just have no appetite for beef anymore.

steak tartare!! Ummmmmm!

But, that's a long time ago. Now vegan is closer to the mark.

36. Burnt to a freaking crisp.
Toasted buns w/ spread ketchup on both of them. Then add a layer of french fries between the meat and ketchup-bun combo.

37. Rare, blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce.
That's one mood.

Another: swiss cheese, jalapeno slices, raw onions, little dollop of mustard.


Always rare, if I can get it - if I'm gonna eat that much meat at once, I'm going to REVEL in the carnivorousness. I want red blood in my slathering jaws.

...with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do i steer for my
Cheeseburger in paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise


(Actually, I don't want tomatoes anywhere near mine, and am not too fond of beer, either. I generally prefer bacon- or chiliburgers myself, but you can't miss an opportunity to invoke Jimmy when you've got a chance.)

salt and a thick, fresh, cold, crispy slice of sweet onion. Home made bun, flour tortilla or even no bread is fine.:9

42. Ground chuck, rare.
You ruin beef if you overcook it!!!

Whole Wheat bun. If you are eating a bun it has GOT to be whole wheat. I skip the bun most of the time in recent years. I miss them, but they are not kind to me...


Sometimes they are best with sauteed mushrooms, bacon, and Swiss.

Sometimes I like them with ketchup, relish, Diablo mustard and sauteed onions.


I love beef.
