Pattyplus,
If you think adding cream to the meat results in a Stroganoff flavor, surely you've noticed that adding the strongly flavored veggies and sauces you cite (bleu cheese, chopped olives, BBQ or steak sauce, or catsup-worstershire) results in meatloaf, not a burger.

Bread labeled 'whole grain' steps on the flavor of whatever is between the bread or buns. Most supermarket 'whole grain' bakery items are not truly whole grain (as opposed to those heavy German loaves) and with only slight increases in nutritional value. But pursuing nutrition over flavor leads to a land far from the the joys of hamburgerdom.

I do believe that there several other notable green chile cheeseburgers that I always look forward to when I travel through NM.
Buckhorn Tavern, (San Antonio Nm.), El Camino Restraunt (Socorro, NM.)
Both of these are on the way as you travel north through NM.
ENJOY!

i was REALLY REALLY disappointed:

Love your recipes. I was raised in an Italian family and of course we had macaroni every Sunday. But the treat was the extra meatballs, for breakfast, before they were put in the gravy. We had fried meatballs on hard rolls with butter, and of course no matter how young you were, a cup of coffee with "Lots" of milk. I have tired to carry out this tradition when my children were still living at home, and now they are still carrying it on.

I've been eating double-doubles for so long at White Rose in Highland Park, I salivate just by hearing the name White Rose nowadays. So damn good, and I can not figure out how they do it. That taste is so yummy!

I actually never knew the other two were still open, actually. I have to check them out one of these days, but while I am closer to White Manna in Hackensack, I much rather drive to White Rose any day of the week. Then finish it off by going to Thomas Sweet for a Blend-In in New Brunswick!

Love the Clark White Diamond. My husband took me there when I got my first apartment in Clark after college. The burgers were orgasmic. Truly. Haven't been there in over five years. Will go back soon to try them. Can you ever go back and have things as great as their memory?!?

I've had a love affair with all condiments for a long time. It's incredible to read some people bashing one over the other. What did most of us grow up eating on a hamburger? Ketchup. McD's uses ketchup. Most people grew up with burgers from McD's, and most people like it on their fries, so what's with all this "We hate ketchup" sentiment?

Mayo does add lubrication to a burger, but taste as well in my opinion. According to Jacques Pepin, we Americans make the best commercial mayo (Hellman's). Mayo has an advantage of providing a luxurious texture that marries perfectly with ketchup or mustard. It's not greasy either. If you don't like ketchup or mayo, I'm starting to think you're not an American.

The mustard only crowd needs to back off. Mustard does not enhance meat, it tastes like mustard. If that's the dominant flavor you prefer, go for it, but don't lecture.

The no condiment group is the most puzzling to me of all. Sorry, but if you're so snobbish that ketchup, mustard, and mayo do not grace your pantry, you might need therapy. You were probably browbeaten by your parents and not allowed to play with the other kids. I'm kidding. If you love going naked all the time, that's cool too, just pass the ketchup please.

I missed the vote, but it would probably be ketchup, mayo a close second.

Mayo for cheeseburgers, mustard for regular hamburgers. Ketchup I reserve for meatloaf...I think the flavor is too strong for a good burger, but that is me. And yes, regional has a lot to do with the preferences. I would say I really like Miracle Whip on my cheeseburgers (being from the midwest), but that would probably stir up a storm of protests with the purists, so I won't. :)

Mayo is a must! Ketchup is only if someone made your burger too dry! Leave the mustard for hot dogs!

A special sauce is great too!

There is no place for mayo. A little ketchup is okay but not required. I'm not much of a condiment guy. My thought is that if your basic item is so poorly prepared that you have to douse it in 3-5 other sauces, in addition to plant life, you had a pretty crappy burger to start with.

I cannot understand this love affair with ketchup. Ketchup, to me, is only a poor substitute for fresh tomato (on burgers, that is. I love ketchup on fries). I'd much rather have sweet relish with mustard than ketchup with anything.

And ... mayo?! Mayo is for BLT's, chicken salad, and tartar sauce. Maybe that's why I like BK better than the other big American chains - I can order my Whopper with extra tomato and pickle, and no mayo.

I cannot stand mayo on anything.

I'll put everything on my burger, but not mayo.
