Hamburger Toppings

Sobelmans?! Well played sir, well played.
BTW, love what they did with the website. I haven't been to it in ages, but your pic reminded me of the bloody mary they offered that had the whole fried chicken in it and I wanted to see if it was still around.

BBQ and Bacon with fried onion...

The possibilities are endless, but I really enjoy a burger with a thick slab of sharp white cheddar and avacado slices. I have gotten away from using mustard of any sort on my burgers- I guess I just prefer mustard with brats or other sausage. In my mind, a good burger is all about the quality of the meat. The toppings should highlight quality ground beef. If the toppings dominate the flavor scene, usually it is to mask crappy meat. I like my burger done no more than medium- those charcoaled hockey pucks are a waste of time.

I don't know what that is, but it isn't a sandwich.

Green Chile. Once of the best things discovered when moving from Chicago to the the Southwest.

+100 on the fried egg!

Bloody Hell that green chili looks awesome.

My favorite burger has bleu cheese crumbles and bacon on it. The heat of the burger melts the cheese into a creamy delicious goo. Add in some buffalo wing sauce on the side and I'm in heaven.

My best attempt so far was a home ground mix of sirloin and bacon, mixed in a bit of steak sauce and grilled. Topped with a good aged cheddar, no condiments necessary.

Bacon - Chipotle aioli, roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, cracked pepper, extra sharp chedder. 1/2 pound patty with worcestershire sauce and a little truffle oil. All on a toasted cibatta bun.

There's also a lot to be said for the Ron Swanson burgers:

"A hamburger, made of meat, on a bun, with nothing. Add ketchup if you want. I couldn't care less."
Also the Ron Swanson turkey burger:

"A fried turkey leg wrapped inside a hamburger[...]Delicious."

Ok, I was watching this thinking that it might go ridiculous, but you guys are being serious so, here is mine.
1 lb ground beef, one big handful of dried mint, three cloves of garlic, half a Spanish onion diced, and mix in an egg to help it stay together. Patty it up and grill.
Slice open your onions rolls and toast them.
Add a slice tangy fried green tomato and top with sauteed onions and kale.
Drizzle with hollandaise sauce.
...and prepare to slap the hell out of someone.

That green chili may taste awesome, but I could never get over how it looks...

To quote Jimmy Buffett, "I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57, and french-fried potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer..."

Hatch's Green Chiles, roasted.
Or a thin tomato & pepper based BBQ sauce that will soak into the burger, topped with a couple of French fried onion rings.

Andrew,
Off topic from burgers but I love pork & green chili served in a bread bowl!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

So, hamburgers are sandwiches and chili is soup, right?
