Burger discussion thread

So the long thread got me thinking today that I haven't had a classic American burger in quite a while.
So I went to this place called Broadway Burger Station tonight and ordered a cheeseburger. It was great and just the way I like a burger although I haven't had one like that in forever.
Everything was basic: Quarter pound patty, toasted bun, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheddar cheese.
It reminded me of how much I hate the burgers that most people like: Thick 8 oz. patties that have to be cooked to a certain temp. To me that's just too much meat on a burger and it ruins the entire experience. A basic thin quarter pounder is all the meat you need in my opinion. And it doesn't take anything too fancy in the way of condiments to make me happy. I did add mushrooms to my burger though.
So how do you like your burger?

I had a burger at a dive restaurant in Tallahassee that had peanut butter and grape jelly on it.
Mugshots has a peanut butter burger that I add bacon too. It is good, but needs the sweetness of the jelly.
Other than that, I love a burger with pepperjack cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoe, pickles, mayo, mustard, and ketchup

You like your burger about like I do. I don't like a gigantic meat patty that makes the burger hard to eat. I like caramelized onions, pepperjack cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos, tomato, lettuce, plenty of mayo, and a dab of mustard.

I suppose for me the condiment combination isn't as important as the patty size.
I really can't stand a thick burger. And after having a burger that I really liked tonight I think it's a good reminder that I'll never eat one of those burgers ever again.

I put pecorino romano cheese in my patties before cooking. Not to the point where it is oozing out of the meat, just enough to where the saltiness of the cheese adds somewhat of a different flavor.

Yeah before I was even done reading I was thinking that would be a good way to add salt

I cant either. Gets too messy trying to fit your whole mouth on it (esp with lettuce/onions/pickles/tomatoes pilled on top).
i dont like a McDonald-thin patty. Something about as thick my thumb end to end.

Rare.
Ever had a rare burger? It's amazing. Too bad it's so difficult to ground beef yourself unless you have a good meat grinder and the time to clean it.

Double Brian Burger w/ Praline Bacon from Curbside FTW

1/3 pound is the optimal burger patty for me. Mushrooms are nice. I like vary the cheese depending on my mood as well as the other condiments on the bun. Onions (raw or sauteed) are good addition as well. I tend to prefer dijon mustard over regular yellow.

Smashburger
Started smashing burgers at home on cast iron skillet. Found it is a very good way not to have to mess with the meat too much. I take a 50/50 blend of brisket and chuck, grind it at home, then loosely form it into a ball (6 oz), salt and pepper the outside, then place on smoking hot cast iron, and smush it. Creates a wonderful crust.

1/3 lb for me. i'm pretty open when it comes to burgers. i like them all sorts of ways. my go-to when i grill at home is 80/20 seasoned with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder, grilled medium rare, on an english muffin w/ bleu cheese and bacon.

i find that bread is so undervalued when it comes to a good burger

I don't like the giant burgers either. They're just emblematic of an American obsession that large quantities equal "good value".
Anyway, yeah, a quarter pound patty on a bun that's not too thick is great. Here's my weirdness . . . I don't like cheese on a burger. Just don't. I like lettuce, tomato, pickle and mustard. Good quality, fresh beef.
Add fresh cut (unfrozen) crispy fries and you've got a winner.

No doubt. I mean most of the burger is bread!

I like a patty about 1" thick and a tad bigger circumference than the bun. I don't like bigass buns, give me the smallest bun possible that can still hold the thing together, lightly toasted. Hard to beat the standard cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickle, purple onion, mayo and mustard. But also like bleu cheese, swiss, mushrooms, avacodo, bacon, spinach as toppings...

There isn't much out here. Place had some killer milkshakes. I need to not ever order one again.

A few positive reviews on yelp it would appear as well. Coworker told me to check it out if I was in the mood for a burger. Pretty much a 50s style diner.
