Let's see if we can keep this thread on topic.
What ingredient or ingredients make the best burger for you?
My choices: Bleu cheese and bacon
Hatch green chiles and sharp cheddar
Bacon, BBQ sauce, onion rings
Jalapenos on any of the above
The San Francisco sourdough burger, with 1000 Island sauce, cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions
Damn, I'm hungry now
I am partial to patty melts, mushroom and swiss and homemade burgers on the grill.
San Franciso style with the sourdough is also amazing.
If you are talking burgers in Vegas, believe it or not, one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had there was the Ocean One Burger for $5.99
I'm a sucker for a good mushroom/swiss but also enjoy a black and blue burger with bacon!
My favorite here at home (or anywhere that has Burger King) is the Jr Whopper Duo, $5.00 for the two. You can have them with cheese, bacon, etc. (any or all), but I like them with just the basic onion, tomato, lettuce. I could do without the tomato, but must have onion. I put extra pepper on them.
I don't know how they cook the meat or if they put anything on the bread. I prefer them to the regular Whopper. I eat one, then heat the other one later for another meal. They make their money on the fries and coke and other stuff.

I only order or make a traditional burger, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard. Sometimes cheese, many times I have to say no mayo, add mustard. The optimal patty size is 1/3 pound, which is a bit over 5 oz, medium rare.
I used to like the Royal Red Robin Burger with the fried egg, but it's too much for me now.
A lot of the burgers restaurants offer are all about putting everything they have on it and calling it a clever name. I'm against onion rings or fried peppers on my burger as well.
Son of a gun, I just read my post and I've turned into the "get off my lawn" guy.
Max talking about burgers, "These new-fangled burgers they have nowadays are an abomination! Not like the burgers in my day!" smh.

Not to worry, Max. This is America and we have constitutionally guaranteed burger freedom. Have it your way.
Since my heart attack 9 1/2 years ago, I've had only one steer meat burger. I do make a bison burger with lots of veggies on top with my own honey mustard sauce on a whole wheat bun. Of course, I use the lowest sodium mustard that I can find.

Out of curiosity can you eat Turkey burgers? I find them to be quite good with a slice of tomato on top. When Chili's used to have them I perferd them over their beef burgers.
It is hard to find them in restaurants anymore since the fake meat burgers took over but a lot of your large supermarkets have ground turkey that you can use to make your own.

I have made my own turkey burgers before but I prefer the taste of bison. I really enjoy the sweetness of bison. You can get a turkey pattie as an option at Red Robin. I'm lucky to be in CO where bison is easily purchased at our local City Market. During the winter, I use it to make bison black bean chili in the crock pot.

Ground turkey is fine. I've used it before. I just enjoy the sweetness of bison. During the winter, I make bison black bean chili. I'm lucky to be in Western CO where my local City Market stores stock ground bison year-around.
