@ Chanterelle - exactly! Those elitists over at McDonalds serve billions of burgers with mustard to the elite every day.

Personally, it depends on what kind of mood I am. I am more inclined to put on just a dab in addition to ketchup if I know it is a more bland burger. And if I know the burger is going to suck or is dried, then its almost definite. Not to say mustard should only be used to cover up bad burgers but it plays that role well if needed!

This might be a generation thing, but whenever I hear Grey Poupon I think of Wayne's World making fun of the original commercial.

I don't have any feeling about Dijon on a burger one way or the other; it's not what I would choose, but I know people who don't like raw onion, sweet relish, or lettuce on their burgers, all of which I love. I have to admit the first clip I saw ONLY mentioned the mustard, and cut out the part where he also asked for lettuce and tomato. If he'd ordered it with JUST mustard, I'll admit I'd have thought that was strange. But with lettuce and tomato - OK, it's different but not a cause for hysteria.

Medium well on the other hand - as John Cleese once said "What kind of nonsense is this?".

But my real objection is he tied up traffic outside (if you watch the full video, you can see the police and secret service cars blocking the street), probably kept a lot of people who are on short lunch hours waiting while he plodded through his order, and did so for a bogus photo-op to show he's a "man of the people". Puh-leeze. Are Americans so stupid they actually buy this media manufactured nonsense?

@ag; I do it with mayo. But ketchup never comes near my burger.

I know that I am 105% in the Obama 'tank' but I have to admit that I do think Dijon Grey Poupon is pretty good.

Oh man.....can you imagine if he dipped it, bite by bite, into BBQ sauce. Scandalous!

Who gives a sh$t who puts what on a burger?

I had already commented that Dijon on a burger was unconstitutional, non-egalitarian, unpatriotic and grounds for impeachment.

I was the manager of a pub in the States for a few years. We used to have a running joke...a customer would order something like a quesadilla, but ask that we left out everything but the tortillas and cheese, and 86 the pepperjack...just mild cheddar. We'd call it 'running it through the deflavourizer'. Looks like that's what the right-wing wants. No flavour on anything, ever.
