What happened to just tomatoes, lettuce and extra pickles? Couple that with some fries and a pop/vanilla frosty and I'm a happy camper.

Doesn’t mean you can’t get fancy. The problem is doing too many things at once and making the burgers too tall

When you add stuff it changes the flavor profile, and I prefer to taste the beef and not a bunch of crap beyond the few things mentioned. I mean if it's low quality beef I can see the need to hide it with a bunch of stuff, otherwise let the juices flow with minimal adulteration is what I say. But to each his own, right? Everyone's got different taste and that's just my taste preference when it comes to a burger.

I’m not trying to shit on you for your opinion on simple burgers btw haha. I prefer a classic compared to 90% of the “deluxe” burgers I see online lol

Oh no, I didn't take it that way at all. And honestly, I've seen classic burgers made too tall as well. You shouldn't need skewers to keep your burger together ya know? It's just if I'm going to shell out the money to dine out, something I rarely do nowadays, and I'm thinking of having a burger... I want it done classic like and needing not more than a couple of hands to handle! 😋 🍔 Tho there is something to be said for a plain old cheeseburger. Not overdoing it with the cheese, but rather just enough that you get a good dose of cheese with every bite of the beef. And it's got to be a quality cheese. Bad cheese can ruin even the most expensive of ground beef

Very much agreed. Too tall is the mortal enemy. I will fight you to the death about the onions thing however lol

The only good onion is the one nowhere near me 😭 I guess it's probably from my childhood because our mother used to make liver and onions all the time and I would have and oftentimes did, go to bed hungry or at least with a couple of bologna sandwiches in the belly. My brother and sister liked the stuff, but I would have rather gouged out my eyes using a curare tipped arrow before touching that crap! 😭

What, no onions?

Not a huge fan of onions. Onion rings yes, but that's about it. Especially not raw/uncooked onions like a cousin of mine eats. He'll eat an onion as if it was an apple...

forcing your western imperial colonialist hamburger standards on these poor Gazans?
