What do you look for in a great burger?
Posted on 10/19/14 at 5:33 pm

Bun: What kind of bun do you look for?
Toppings: Do you prefer basic toppings or more specialty type toppings?
Patty: Obviously the most important part. Do you prefer grassfed? Angus?
How do you prefer it cooked and seasoned?
Miscellaneous: What are some intangibles that put a burger over the top?
Bonus: What is the best burger you have ever had?

I don't really have specifics. If I'm out at a restaurant I look for one with that has toppings I don't see everyday, but still keeps it simple
My favorite burger is at a place called Rockit. Kobe beef, topped with Brie, fried shallots, and medjool date aoli on a red onion bun

Kobe beef
I seriously doubt that its authentic Kobe beef. Only a very small amount of real Kobe beef is imported to the US and that's only been since 2013 I think

I don't eat burgers often anymore.
First, I'm looking for bun to beef ratio. I don't want one of those massive buns that dominates each bite. Style is less important though I prefer a softer bun.
Good cheese. It better melt well. I'm willing to get creative with toppings and like experimenting with different topping combinations.
I want a pretty greasy burger. I prefer a thicker burger that oozes out if squeezed. I want salt & pepper and that's about it. Also, I look for a place that grinds the beef daily.
I'm a Cowbell fan. Pimento cheese FTMFW!

Why? Are you above that?
Posted on 10/19/14 at 6:39 pm to mouton
I'm pretty open to burgers. My basic rule of thumb is less is more. Nothing is more irritating than a burger with too many toppings and sauces or a burger that is way too greasy that falls apart. I want to be able to pick up my burger and eat it with my hands, not a fork.
I'm not sure of "the best" burger, but some favorites...
Cowbell - New Orleans
Hi Hat's pimento cheese burger - New Orleans
New York burger Co - NYC
Mr. Bartley's - Boston/Cambridge
Pharmacy's The Farm burger - Nashville

Bun:
I like a Kaiser or reg sesame seed bun, slightly toasted
Toppings:
I prefer basic toppings, lettuce, mayo, tomato, bacon and cheese
Patty:
Fresh ground beef slightly crusty on the outside and slightly pink on the inside
Miscellaneous: What are some intangibles that put a burger over the top?
Good quality ingredients and bring it to me neat...... I dont want a mess on the plate.
Bonus: What is the best burger you have ever had?
Probably The Reef in Houma

Yeah, that's what I implied.
I don't crave burgers as much as other food. I eat healthy 60% of the time and when I splurge a burger is rarely the choice.

Ideal is brioche or potato. There are others I can handle though. Not a fan of sesame seed buns or crumbly buns like in a package in the sliced bread aisle.

Simple. There's a place for bacon, egg, etc. But not an overload of stuff. I can do condiments on a shitty burger (because let's face it.. even a shitty burger can be good), but I much prefer a good burger without condiments.

Fatty. I want it only salted and peppered at the end.. not overworked at all. Nothing dry or flavorless. Med-rare. I like a meat that has been worked very little and has a lot of fat, so the juice is going down to my elbows.

It's at a place that specializes in burgers (range from $13-25) and is consistently ranked with the top burgers in the 3rd biggest city in the country. I don't find it too much of a stretch

I am not informed enough, but my Modernist Cuisine book explained that the US's regulations on what can be called Kobe are WAY more lax than Japan's, so it's often considered not real Kobe.
Posted on 10/19/14 at 8:17 pm to LouisianaLady
I know it's a lot more lax here, I've heard of Japanese people get offended that we use it for burgers
I was just responding to the FDB superstar that felt the need to call me out

Best I've ever had?
Littons -- Knoxville. Their "Thunder Road" burger w/ pimento cheese blew High Hat's version away.

Kaiser roll or potato. Lightly toasted, crunchy outside and soft inside.
I like the meat to be seared on the outside. Medium is fine in the middle. I don't like it thick
Onions & pickles are a must, as is mayo. Lettuce and tomatoes are fine and maybe a little yellow mustard. There doesn't have to be cheese but if I'm picking, a sharp cheddar
High Hat is my fav around here. Then company burger

I will literally eat any burger, but my favorite is this one from the vortex in ATL that has chipotle cream cheese, bacon and a sweet jam.
