1/3 burger made with garlic, worcestershire, onions, jalapenos, habaneros. Done medium, on a lightly toasted kaiser roll. Ketchup, raw onions, habanero cheese, and some delicious spicy pickles. I buy Batampte kosher garlic dill pickles and dump a liberal amount of crushed red pepper into the jar. Two weeks later, some delicious and quite spicy pickles. They remind me of the wood barrel pickles we would buy at the Chester NJ flea market many many years ago.

I like a patty - 1/2 lb or more, highly seasoned with cayenne, salt & black pepper, grilled to medium or less, on toast (regular white bread is fine with me) with mayo, tomato dusted with black pepper & salt, and nothing else!

I like 1/3 lb. medium rare with mayo and a little relish or sometimes, I like a shot of 1000 Island on the burger.

1/3 pounder, medium, ketchup (lots of ketchup), raw onions and no cheese. As important: the roll. Its gotta be fresh, preferably crusty like an Italian hard roll.

I am a patty melt person and think highly of any place that serves them. Why is it that a place will serve Reubens but not patty melts?
The one in the photo is not good enough for me. The meat is cooked fine. It is sadly lacking in grilled onions and Swiss cheese oozing from the top and bottom.
This is important, many places will put one slice of cheese on a burger, but with a patty melt you get extra cheesy goodness.

Hello All,
I like a thick patty, medium-well done, with salt and pepper,
tomato, shredded lettuce, mayo and mustard. A side of
semi-crispy fries. There is a local place that also makes
their own buns that are not a soft or spongy which are great.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

1/4 pound patty, medium, plenty fatty, skillet cooked, on a toasted and buttered sesame bun, with mayo, american cheese, and pickles. With a side of crispy steak fries or ultra thin sliced fried onion rings, and a chocolate malted. Simple, Classic, Perfection.

1/3 lab patty, if I know it's fresh ground - back and blue. Throw it on a screamin hot grill for a nice char on the outside, rare on the inside. Stone ground course mustard, pickles, fresh cold crunchy lettuce leaves, thin red onion, and must have ketchup.

80/20 cooked to medium/medium well in a cast iron skillet. Sprinkled with garlic powder or granulated garlic and seasoning salt after flipping. Served on buttered and grilled bun (I like onion buns or sesame but the kids won't touch either kind). Mayo, yellow mustard and a slice of sweet onion raw, or sauteed onion if not sweet.

My second choice is that same burger with bbq sauce, a few slices of thick cut bacon and a few onion rings. A western bacon cheeseburger without the cheese!

A nice fat half-pounder ( charbroiled ), medium rare on dark bread, no cheese, a light application of yellow mustard and ketchup, lightly salted, and a couple of dill pickle spears on the side. In other words, what I had for lunch at Hackneys earlier this afternoon ( yum!! )

Re:Tell us about how you like your non Fast Food burgers (gostillerz)

5 oz chuck, cooked medium (a little pink, but good crust) over charcoal
Toasted Kaiser Roll
Raw onions sliced paper thin
2 slices good tomatoes
garlic salt/pepper

Usually that's it. Sometimes either:
Sliced jalapenos, chipotle Tabasco and American cheese or
A.1.

....next we will hear pineapple and avocados...

Back in the UK you can get a burger with pineapple on it, it is known as a hawaiian burger. Weird combination but some people seem to enjoy it, advocados wouldn't be quite so popular I'd say.

Hey Brad...where did you get that Patty Melt? Looks great albeit a bit rare for me. Have you ever been to the Blue Moon here in Madison? I think they are my favorite....I also like the Village Bar on Mineral Point Rd.

At the Boone County Family Restaurant, just over the border at the intersection of IL-76 and IL-173. In Madison I like the patty melts at Alt 'N' Bach's Town Tap, next to American TV on the Beltline.

Nope, never been to the Blue Moon and I rarely get that deep into the city since I work on the south side. But I'll keep it in mind.

Mustard????!!!!!!!!!

I'm a born and raised New Yorker and, I like mustard on my burgers!

I was born and raised in NYC and Yonkers and I never heard of mustard on burgers or ketchup on hotdogs or red onion sauce - for that matter.

But I did leave NY soon after returning from Vietnam in the late 60s and I do not get back there much any more.

If cooking over charcoal a Hibachi is best. You can us a Weber but you will waste alot of charcoal. Same rules apply for Burger Dome. If you dont have a Burger Dome get one. You can get one at Wasserstrom. Once you use one you will wonder why anyone would cook a Burger any other way.

Save your money and put an up-turned skillet over the cooking burger.

i was thinking the same thing.

I've gotten into the habit of asking for my burger "medium rare, or rarer if you feel comfortable serving it". Sometimes it comes out medium rare and sometimes it moos, like this patty melt I got last year:

For cheese my current preference is Swiss, Cheddar if that's not available, and if I have to I'll settle for American. If I'm eating somewhere that offers a more eclectic cheese selection I might try something different.

Bacon? Yes, please. Mushrooms if they're available. If the mushrooms are in a sauce I won't use any condiments; otherwise, a little yellow or brown mustard is a nice touch.

Burger cooked Med. Carolina Classic style, Chili,Slaw,Onion and Mustard. Twice Fried Fries, topped with Chili and Large Sweet Tea..Tums on the side with a Altoid for the onions.

Wabbit that sounds good as hell right now. I though, am grilling BBQ chicken ( Eastern NC vinegar BBQ sauce ) along with some pork chops this evening. The wife is making potato salad and we have some fresh local corn on the cob to go with it.

Avocados, bacon, lettuce, and tomatos, make an excellent burger. Must be done on a Weber. Ground Ribeye works well when mixed 50/50 with 80/20. Coarse salt and Pepper. Topped with a grilled Chared Poblano Chili with the skin removed. As to the Pineapple Burger I have a hot sauce recipe if you want it that uses habenero that works great. The problem with pineapple burgers served at restaurants is the pineapple is too moist. It needs to be grilled down unti it is almost dry. Bun must be toasted. You can also put a little raw coarse sugar on it at the end and carmelize it. If the pineapple is too moist it destroys the bun and the flavorr. Try peanut butter and bacon on a burger with a dark toasted bun. Cook the peanut butter right on the burger like cheese. The peanut butter must be hot...Russ

You forgot the plantains...

Re:Tell us about how you like your non Fast Food burgers (Russ Jackson)

I will post it anyway:

Hot Sauce

6 medium jalapenos,roasted seeds ribs and stems removed
2 serano peppers roasted stems ribs and seeds revoved
1 habenero chopped fine not roasted seeds and ribs removed.
4 roasted Poblano
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup white vinegar
Juice from 1 ½ large limes
1 fist full fresh cilantro chopped coarse with stems
2 half inch fresh pineapple rings grilled until you get some good marks on each side then chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

It works great as a [ [ like Tabasco, Cholula, or similar.
You can also use it straight with Chips, as a Jerk [, or when making Wings. (Great Wing [)

This really isnt that [ It burns at the back of the mouth not the front. Once you remove the seeds and ribs and roast the peppers alot of the heat is gone.
If you dont trust me dont add the Habenero or just part of it.
I cannot stress enough that you carmelize the fresh pineapple on the bbq until very dark lines are acheived.
Roast the peppers until black then place in a bag to steam let cool and remove skin.
Combine the chiles, onion, garlic, pineapple, and tomato in a blender and puree. Leave mixture in blender. Combine the vinegar and lime juice in a [pan and heat until it reaches a slight boil, then sprinkle in the thyme, basil, nutmeg, mustard, and turmeric. Pour this [, spiced mixture and cilantro over the reserved puree and blend thoroughly until smooth.

It will get [ter the longer it sits. I hope you try this and enjoy...Russ

The avocado ship sailed upthread in my first post. There are places that serve "Hawaiian burgers" with pineapple on them, but the thought of that makes me as nauseated as the concept of putting pineapple on pizza.
