What's the one item of food that you struggle cooking?

For me, my nemesis is the hamburger. I use 80/20 beef, keep my hands cold while forming and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper.
My burgers are terrible. Almost like meatloaf, which is why I appreciate a good burger from a local restaurant and don't mind ordering one.
Has to be a technique issue?
OTOH, my steaks, chicken, sausage, and pork chops are spot on.

My omelettes always taste great, but damn if they aren't ugly as sin. Generally a little lopsided. Oh well.

Fish. I can fry it, but any other method is apt to get jacked up.

Pancakes... I always seem to flip them too early or too late.

Rice, it usually turns out mushy. Pisses me off so much.

I cook a good jambalaya but the few times I've tried pastalaya I've had to much water/stock so it was soupy

Red beans and rice. I can never get the thickness The way you see in restaurants Or my mother's. It's very frustrating.

Pork chops, seems like I always over cook them

Guessing when meat is done. All of my thermometers suck for one reason or another, and I hate trying to guess when chicken or something is done. Also hate cutting into it to check.

If you cook them long enough to get the thickness, the beans become unrecognizable, just like Blue Runner out of the can. I've gotten good results by cooking the beans just until tender then puréeing a cup of them and adding it back in.

Pork butt, something always seems to go wrong.
OP, for burgers I always use a mixture of chuck, sirloin and pork salt and pepper. Form the patties then let them come to room temp and cook on a screaming hot grill

Homemade burgers are generally overcooked and use inferior ground beef.
Rice cookers are a great cheap investment.
A brine is the key for thick cut pork chops.

Dang I am with you there.
And Jambalaya. I say to my kids almost every time "it tastes great but the rice texture isn't what I wanted."

Put an inch of water over the top of it bing to a big boil, put top on it and turn down low as fire can get and come back in 20 mins.
It'll be perfect.
Dont take the top off.
Steam is what cooks rice.
