re: What're the perfect hamburger toppings

A legit burger sauce

Grilled mushrooms
Grilled onions
Grilled jalepenos
Bacon
Cheese
Fried Egg
Guacamole


Not all on the same burger, but in different combinations

American cheese (the only time I eat American cheese), regular or spicy mustard, thick slice of raw Vidalia onion, and some bacon if I have it on hand.

Nacho cheese Doritos

I used to think I wanted fancy toppings, but now I want a thin, crispy edged patty, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, pickles, cheese (sharp cheddar or jalapeño cayenne cheddar) on lightly toasted bun. Dat’s all.

Bacon and blue cheese

Bbq sauce, sharp cheddar, and red onion.

Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, ketchup.

Sautéed mushrooms, Swiss, mayo.

I guess I will take a hamburger just about any way!

For a restaurant burger, absolutely. If I'm making one at home, probably not, because no one else wants a bleu.

I avoid the salad with bun approach of most of you.
Red onion, yellow mustard, a slice of cheese, and a bun toasted with butter on the flat top.

My son oddly prefers no cheese, lettuce, and mustard, and that's it. I don't get it either.

Lafitte’s candied jalapeños.

Traditional:
American cheese
Grilled Onions
Pickles
Mayo & Mustard


Carolina Style:
Mustard
Chili
Slaw
Onions
(optional American cheese)

I like to keep it simple, too much stuff just complicates things.

Mayo, spicy mustard, onion, pickle, cheese.

Burger itself gets seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin.
