re: Slice of Raw Onion on a Hamburger

The first burgers I ever had were ones my parents picked up at the Cotton Boll, a little honky-tonk out on the highway, run by 2 old ladies. The "respectable" people would call in their orders and park outside, and one of them would bring out the burgers in a brown paper bag. Those are, to this day, the burgers against which I judge all others. Thin patty, lettuce, tomatoe, onion (raw), cheese if you wanted, and either mayo or mustard on a bun heated on the griddle. They were perfect, the taste combination of those ingredients was exactly right. Once you hit around 15 years old they would sell you beer on credit, which made that place pretty much perfect. I've had other burgers that were good, but nothing to match those.

NOPE.

Wow... raw onions and mayo are deal breakers for me, though I can easily just remove the onion...

Friend,

The worst burger I have ever tried, the Peter Luger burger, is a slab of medium rare minced meat with an enormous raw ring of onion on top. Between the Luger sauce and the onion, you would have a hard time forcing me to eat another bite of a burger there.

Goes to Peter Luger’s… “I’ll just have the burger”


Was it between that and the chicken nuggets?

Smash burger patty, 1 or 2. Good cheese. Mayo, whole grain mustard, raw onion, pickles, on a toasted bun.
