If I were grilling hamburgers - how do you want yours done and what do you want on it

[LynneSin]

Just want to see how elitist we are.

Me - I want a Medium Rare burger (venison burger if you have it). Season with garlic and put 2 slices of American Cheese on it. Finish it off with ketchup and a multi-grain roll. If I want Lettuce & Tomato I would have asked for a salad on the side.

[Critters2]

1. Do you have any Boca Burgers, or Gardenburgers?

Yesterday, I ate with some parishioners at a place that had the best grilled Gardenbuger with sauteed onions, peppers and mushrooms. Tasty! If you could do that, I'd be grateful!

How elitist does that make me?

[dgibby]

77. Not elitist-just smart and healthy.

Speaking of gardenburgers, I'm trying to cut down on red meat. Which products would you recommend?
I'm a true carnivore, but don't like anything too spicy (by spicy, I mean I don't even like black pepper). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[davsand]

2. Rare, please. Whole Wheat bun if you have it,.

Ketchup is nice, but garlic is a "gotta do."

Bacon can be a plus sometimes, I guess...

3. Medium -- lean organic beef or buffalo

White American, onions, and some A-!.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. What the hell is A-!?

Is it A-1 on steroids?

[Jamastiene]

49. Lol, it's FReeper A1.

It has elevens in it too. :rofl:

:hide:

[LostinVA]

57. STFU -- MRS. BUCKY COVINGTON!!!!!

[Jamastiene]

68. zOMG,

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

71. I know you love his long curly redneck hair

It reminds you of a squirrel's nest.

[LostinVA]

56. You're as bad as Lynne

[TheManInTheMac]

58. A-1 on steroids is A-Rod. A-! is equal parts A-1 and Tabasco, I think.

[redqueen]

4. Medium rare...

with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickles. :9

[SacredCow]

5. My request:

First, the burger should be made with coarsely-ground chuck, and handled as little as possible to form the patty. Seasoned liberally with salt and pepper. Grilled to medium rare. A slice of Colby-Jack added in the last minute or so of cooking.

Toasted onion roll split open to serve as the bun. A light spread of Hellmans mayo on both sides. On top of the patty, a thick slice of creole tomato, a ring or two of red onion, FRESH lettuce (wilty stuff is useless), and a little yellow mustard.

Hold the pickles- I'm not a big fan.

[LynneSin]

7. I will not serve ANY pickles near my cookout

nuff said!

[NV Whino]

16. Oh, oh, there goes my dill pickle

You might as well hold the burger, too.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Lynne's putting you into quite the pickle

[NV Whino]

33. This thread made so hungry for a burger

that I just ran out to my local brewery and got one of their great hamburgers... complete with dill pickle.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Pickle hater

[HopeHoops]

6. Make mine a veggie burger

And I'll take some swiss cheese and some spicy brown mustard, or dijon mustard if you have that.

[charlie and algernon]

8. Jimmy Buffet said it best

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do i steer for my

Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

[rcrush]

9. I want my hamburger with another hamburger on it.

Thats the only way to eat a burger

[MrCoffee]

32. Git you a chicken breast, grill it up with some sauce, then drop that on top of your burger.

You can thank me later.

[Wapsie B]

10. Medium, soaked in Worcestershire sauce, season with garlic

topped off with onion, tomato, dill pickle relish, and a stone ground horseradish mustard. Or skip the mustard and use Heinz 57.

[Lyric]

11. Mine:

Medium burger with a little bit of garlic oil, pepper, a TINY dash of worcestershire and a bit of salt gently mixed into the meat beforehand. Grill it over hot coals with two or three chips of damp hickory or mesquite wood to add a hint of smoke flavor. When it's done, slide it onto a plate and cover it with two small crisp pieces of bacon and a nice slice of sharp white cheddar. Let the cheese melt while preparing the soft, lightly-toasted bakery bun, spread with a little dijon mustard on one side, and a VERY thin layer of mayonnaise on the other. For further toppings, I want some sauteed mushroom slices and an ice-cold, very-lightly-salted, thin slice of a ripe beefsteak tomato.

Muuuuah! Perfecto.

[Kali]

12. BEEF, 15% fat, medium rare to medium

grilled over WOOD. Salt, maybe a thick slice of crisp, cold, sweet onion but if the beef is good and cooked right all it needs is salt. Cheese if it is dry (too lean), lots of choices - american, medium cheddar, jack, swiss, pepper jack, hell even feta!

[hobbit709]

13. Medium-rare

Pepper jack cheese, sliced red onion, mayo on a Ciabatta roll.

[guitar man]

14. seasoned with garlic and black pepper

grilled medium well over hickory,split a hot link and grill it too, put it on top of the burger with a big circle of purple onion and top it with bbq sauce ;)

[redqueen]

21. Dayum!

A split hot link on there? Really? Interesting...

[guitar man]

26. I just thought it up one day

I was grilling massive beef patties to go on these really large buns I had whan my wife brought out a package of hot links. I thought hmmm, why not, split them down the middle and grilled them face down and popped them on top of the burgers. Topped with some Woody's bbq sauce....now that's good eatin' ;)

[NV Whino]

15. Medium rare with everything on a poppy seed bun and...

don't forget the dill pickle.

[KamaAina]

20. Medium well, with bacon and onions

kaiser roll would be a nice touch.

Ketchup is for fries (and kids). As for mustard and that West Coast staple, mayo: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[noamnety]

82. I agree about the kids

they are tasty with ketchup. :9

[redqueen]

22. Alternately...

medium rare, with swiss cheese and grilled onions & mushrooms. :9

[yellowcanine]

23. Medium well with chedder and Dijon mustard. Thanks for asking.

[MissMillie]

24. rare

ciabatta roll - toasted or grilled
sharp cheddar cheese
lettuce
tomato
pickle
ketchup
mayo

[carlyhippy]

25. medium, melted cheese, 3 pickle slices, a 1/4 inch slice of tomato, 2 lettuce leaves and catsup

the catsup, can you make it in a smiley face? Thank you!

[Tikki]

27. Hi...I love hamburgers...done just this way...

Please use a prime grind of meat...I like mine custom grilled..well-done
but not a hockey puck...semi-thick slice of fresh yellow onion..thin slice of
cheddar cheese, a leaf or two of lettuce and that's about it. The juicy should
take place of condiments...but, if I must...either a bit of yellow mustard
or a spicy but never sweet mustard.

Now here is where it is important...I like a thin..not too bready a bun or NO bun.
No fries, chips or salads.
May I have a big glass of iced tea...could you please have some skim milk available
for my tea.

Thank you very much...
Tikki

[Shell Beau]

28. I like mine done. Beef works. No venison for me.

Any cheese is fine really. But I prefer it to melted on there while the burger is on the grill. Ketchup, mayo, mustard, red onion, tomato, and a tiny drop of bbq on a buttery toasted bun! :9

[deoxyribonuclease]

29. bleu cheese, medium rare beef, chopped jalapenos and onions

this thread is making me hungry...

[Scout]

30. mmmmmmmmm, medium burger seasoned with garlic and onion, blue cheese, bacon,

and some mayo on a nice multi-grain bun.

or, same burger and bun but with cheddar cheese and ketchup ... no mustard, onion, pickles, lettuce or tomato on my burgers EVER.

[CreekDog]

31. Teriyaki Sauce, Jack Cheese and a slice of Pineapple

oh yes, don't knock it --it is outstanding! :P

[TZ]

34. Have you ever tried Yoshida sauce?

I think you'd like it. Thats the way my stepfather does burgers..and he does a killer "Hawaiian" chicken which has maple syrup, Yoshida Sauce and Pineapple on it..YUM!
http://www.mryoshidas.com/

[CreekDog]

37. I'm gonna have to try that

we have a market here that sells Hawaiian BBQ ribs crosscut and the meat is packaged with those seasonings, marinating in them if you will. Not sure what mixture is, but it sounds like what you're talking about. they are so kick ass, ohhhhh...(drool). :rofl:

[fizzgig]

35. yes it is

my best friend loves red robin's big kahuna burger. we tried to recreate it when i visited her in germany a few years back, but teriyaki sauce is hard to come by over there.

[CreekDog]

36. Yes, RR's Kahuna is a treat!

:P

even Carl's Jr.'s teriyaki burger is quite good, though i wish they made a $6 version of it. :P

[azmouse]

38. Mix roasted jalapenos and onions into the meat.

Top with American cheese and a bit of ketchup. :9

[bigwillq]

39. Medium well

One slice of American Cheese, Mayo, Ketchup, lettuce, tomato, red onion, salt and pepper.

[cherokeeprogressive]

40. Venison, buffalo, or ostrich. In that order. Medium rare please.

Grilled onions, whole wheat bun, lettuce, tomato, I'll put the cheese on. Do you perchance have any pepperjack? Oh and, HOLD THE PICKLES.

Hey can I get you another beer or glass of wine while you're cooking? My pleasure!

[Tektonik]

41. The only condiments allowed on a burger:

tomato
onion (raw or grilled)
lettuce
ketchup
mustard
bbq sauce
hot sauce
mayo
bacon
avo
cheese

anything else is a waste

[960]

42. Yum! I love a grilled burger just about any way. Just no mustard or pickles.

[Jamastiene]

50. I don't care for pickles on my burger too much either.

Sometimes, I use mustard. Sometimes, I don't. I kind of like mustard, but the only pickles I ever like are sweet salad cubes in deviled eggs, but not on a burger.

[Left Is Write]

43. Medium rare to medium. Cheese (American, Cheddar, Provolone or pepper Jack)...

Toasted bun with a thin smear of mayo. If I'm in the mood, maybe some barbecue sauce and/or bacon. Likewise, if I'm in the mood, mustard.

I would not have the mustard and bbq sauce at the same time, though.

My current favorite burger is served at a local place - it's coated in crushed black pepper and topped with cheese and the restaurant's own sauce.

[Blue Gardener]

44. Turkey burger please

With Swiss cheese, ketchup and yellow mustard.

[JVS]

45. Right now dammit.

That's how I like my burgers.

[SoxFan]

46. Medium, with swiss, ketchup, onions, and red pepper relish

Make me a second one with dijon mustard to piss off Hannity

[datasuspect]

47. MEAT IS MURDER!!!!11111

[Jamastiene]

48. Well well done with

Tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, onions, and Texas Pete chili.

That's one way I like them.

Another way is still well done but with tomatoes, lettuce, and ketchup.

[pokerfan]

51. Medium rare with mustard would be nice ...

Heaven on earth with an onion slice...

(But it needs to be a sweet onion.)

[Left Is Write]

53. Not too particular, not too precise.

[pokerfan]

54. The myth of the cheeseburger in paradise...

goes back to a long trip on my first boat, the Euphoria. We had run into some very rough weather crossing the Mona Passage between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico and broke our bow sprit. The ice in our box had melted, and we were doing the canned-food-and-peanut-butter diet. The vision of a piping hot cheeseburger kept popping into my mind. We limped up the Sir Francis Drake Channel and into Roadtown on the island of Tortola, where a brand-new marina and bar sat on the end of the dock, like a mirage. We secured the boat, kissed the ground, and headed for the restaurant. To our amazement, we were offered a menu that featured an American cheeseburger and pina coladas. Now these were the the days when supplies in that part of the world were rather scarce-when horsemeat was more plentiful than ground beef in the tiny stores of the Third World. Anyway, we gave particular instructions to the waiter on how we wanted them cooked and what we wanted on them-to which little attention was paid. It didn't matter. The overdone burgers on the burned, toasted buns tasted like manna from heaven, for they were the realization of my fantasy burgers on the trip. That's the true story. I've heard other people and places claim that I stopped or cooked in their restaurants, but this is the way it happened. I love to eat and have taken advantage of my success to travel and discover the foods of the world. There are elegant restaurants and out-of-the-way seafood joints and tiny Thai hamlets that spring into my mind when people ask where I like to eat, but that is another book. I don't eat much meat as I once did, and I now treat a cheeseburger as a treat rather than a ration. So when the urge hits me to have a burger, I try to match my desire to splurge with the right town and the right burger. I'm sure you know a place in your hometown where you believe they make the best cheeseburger in the world. These are the places I have visited personally when I was trying to come up with the perfect cheeseburger for Margaritaville in Key west. These are my cheeseburger roots.

[MilesColtrane]

52. Work in a couple of tablespoons of Woody's Cook-In sauce to some ground sirloin.

Cook over mesquite until medium. When almost ready, melt a thick slice of extra sharp cheddar over it.

Serve on a whole wheat bun w/ Hellman's, Grey Poupon dijon, grilled onions, crunchy dill slices, lettuce and tomato slices.

Pile some Heinz on the side for dipping as you go.

[TheManInTheMac]

55. IF you were grilling hamburgers? You're such a meat tease.

I'll take mine medium rare, slice of pepper jack, slice of cheddar, tomato, red onion and mustard (French's is fine, I don't want Sean Hannity bitching about me) on a kaiser roll. French fries, cole slaw and a coke, please.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

59. Medium well.

Onions, lettuce, mayo. Pickle on the side, a dill or gherkin spear.

Cheese please. any kind'll do. :)

[TK421]

60. Medium rare, tomato, NO FUCKING ONIONS GODDAMNIT!!!! sorry about that

american cheese or provolone would be fine...lettuce is fine but not necessary, oh, and I happen to like mustard AND ketchup on mine! No multi-grain roll, thank you ( I don't care for that ) just a regular old bun

[Jamastiene]

69. I'll take the onions.

Agreed on the bun. If I wanted to eat healthy, I'd chew on a cardboard box dipped in multivitamins...Tastes about the same as health food. :P

[LostinVA]

72. Come up here an let us cook you a "health food meal"

I betcha you'll think it's as yummy as Stamey's BBQ. You just ahven't had the right kind of "health food."

[tabbycat31]

61. here goes

medium rare with Cabot cheddar. Serve plain on a non-toasted roll.

[Z_I_Peevey]

62. Medium well, pepper jack cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato,

loads and loads of jalapenos, and a big loplolly of mayo on a giant sesame seed bun.

I'd like some Tots, too, please. With ketchup.

[femmocrat]

63. California burger, please....

Turkey burger with avocado, bacon, and sprouts on a whole wheat bun. Thank you!

[taterguy]

64. I want it grilled on charcoal, not that gas crap

And I want a cold, cold American beer.

[FarLeftRage]

65. I like mine

Medium to well done, with the McIlhenny's on it.

[Wapsie B]

66. Well I am grilling them and instead of garlic I used Greek Seasoning tonight.

Smell's yummy!

[rucky]

74. Cavenders?

That stuff is a miracle seasoning. Sadly, I think it's the MSG that makes it taste so good.

[Wapsie B]

78. No, it's a homemade blend given to me by a Greek restauranteur.

He sells it in his place but gives it out to friends.

[Jade Fox]

67. Dijon mustard, please.

I'm un-American. ;)

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

70. Make mine medium

Swiss cheese, bacon, mushrooms and a swipe of sour cream on the top bun.

[rucky]

73. Swiss & Sauteed Mushrooms on a kaiser roll, pls.

[CBR]

75. Medium well....

melted cheddar, jalapenos, onion, mustard, ketchup, lettuce

[struggle4progress]

76. Rare. Touch of spicy brown. Topped with tomato, cucumber, hot pepper, cole slaw. And I want

a big fresh crisp whole Boston-style pickle with it. And a cold dark brewski. Thanx!

[applegrove]

79. Cheddar cheese, kosher pickles and mayo. That is all.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

80. Rare, extra lean ground beef

season w/ garlic, top w/ a slice of muenster and ripe homegrown tomato and chipotle mayo. Put it on a Martin's potato roll, please.

[krispos42]

81. Grilled medium-well...

A) crumbled bleu cheese, fried and breaded union strings, and bacon.

B) mix the ground beef with some onion soup mix before grilling, then ketchup, mayo, a slice of cheese (American, chedder, or colby-jack), and a couple of slices of bacon.


Poppy seed hard roll, toasted.


Thank you!

[Awsi Dooger]

83. Medium well, no disgusting cheese, and not too darn thick

Last thing I want is a geyser burger.

Otherwise:

* Wheat bun
* Relish, gobs of awesome relish
* Thinly sliced onion
* Chopped lettuce but not too much
* Ketchup
* Mushrooms

[noamnety]

84. I would like a slice of cheese - real cheese

not that petroleum product cheese food crap - encased in the burger so the cheese melts into the meat and keeps everything moist and doesn't get all rubbery as it cools. Then I would like all kinds of wet toppings - ketchup, mustard and relish on top. And the burger should be medium rare. The goal is to have nothing dried out - and don't toast the bun like my mom always did - it just makes it taste like it's been sitting out a few hours. grrrr.
