Dear AHT: Have You Ever Gotten Food Poisoning from a Burger?
Nah..I never get sick, partially due to the hot sauce I usually douch my burgers in. Kills all the bad stuff.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
I've found it extremely tasty to simply incorporate external ingrediants, internally....adding onions or chorizo or cheese etc. etc. inside rather than outside...it gets cooked therefore less intrusive outside. Best recent ingrediants....coffee (as a liquid), brown sugar, garden greens and so on. bring it on!!

Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
Pointy, I believe you're being sarcastic, but just in case you aren't, I'll answer your question. Surely you can find something you might like here -- even if it's only from what you might dream up on the "build your own" board. Also, in my visits I've not once been stuck in traffic (other than maybe for a few minutes at the Ballard bridge waiting for a boat to go through.) Lastly, I just ask that they don't move to Belltown :)
Stushi, as is the case with almost all great establishments, they can get very busy. I try to go when I imagine not a lot of people are there. It also depends on if they've just been written up. (Like the recent Seattle Times piece, the article here, the Food Network praise, and what may be pending on epicurious.com) Basically LL survives on word of mouth. Even if that mouth is full and all the person can do is moan their approval :)

Sounds good, and since I just live over in Greenwood, it's not a long trip to check it out. Can you actually get into the place, or is it crazy busy like Red Mill Burgers.

Why would I or anyone bother to go all the way up to nosebleed suburban Ballard (aka Dullard) and fight with the horrid traffic on dismal and depressing 15th Ave? Not even for the most delicious burger, which is not this one from the look of things...waaay too sloppy!
LL please consider a move to Capital Hill, say....

Here's one Leslie. It's about as minimalist as I have for the Dork, along with the previously mentioned Pizza Face :)
Scott has one this weekend with Muenster Cheese and a Cuban Pineapple Mayo called Fidel Castro's Fastball...

Hey everybody! I love the comments here. I just wish I had a better pic of the burger I ate and wrote about, the unadorned Dork. That's what I like about this Lunchbox. You can go minimalist or way over the top.
As far as other great Seattle burgers, don't miss Palace Kitchen or Betty on top of Queen Anne, which just started a happy hour burger served with hand-cut frites, housemade pickles on a house-baked brioche baked by the talented pastry chef Brittany. Just $8.

@ratbuddy: You're right. It does hijack the thing. But I'm such a sucker for HOT I fall for it most of the time. Bacon is a better treat.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
I take care of the pungent onion flavor by placing thinly sliced onion on the just-flipped burger, then placing the cheese on top to melt. By the time the meat is done, the onion has softened and mellowed.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
actually, hold the ketchup too ... too darn weird tasting for me, i have never been a fan of the stuff
my perfect burger is a chicken burger with lettuce, avocado, tomato, olive tapenade, and spicy stoneground mustard
or a bison burger with mustard, pickles, and lettuce
or a salmon burger with spicy mayo-free coleslaw and apricot jam .. mmmm
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
i have a mayo-phobia
that stuff is not allowed anywhere near my burger
sometimes i like a MAYO FREE spicy coleslaw on my burgers yum yum!
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
@chascates, don't you find the flavor of raw jalapenos takes over the burger? I really wish Five Guys would use the pickled ones, every time I've tried their (fresh) jalapenos, it just ends up making the predominant flavor 'burn.'
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Hold the lettuce and tomato,they add absolutely nothing to a burger.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
I like my chopped red onions & fresh, non-pickled jalapeno slices on top of melting cheese. They're less likely to fall out of the burger that way. Any bacon should be at the very top. I like mayo on the top, especially with bacon, and spicy mustard on the bottom. Both buns griddled or toasted. And a little less than a 1/4 teaspoon of anchovy paste in the burger patty really makes a difference.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Thanks to AHT I now put my mayo on the bottom bun. My order:
top bun
lettuce (optional)
tomato (optional)
cheese
patty
mayo
bottom bun
If no lettuce and tomato, I like pickles above the cheese.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Bun, cheese, patty, bun. Sometimes raw onion above the cheese.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
this is my favorite blog/website. i personally love mustard (no ketchup) and pickles!!! and cheese.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
I absolutely hate a soggy bun, I will seriously stop eating a burger once the bun starts to feel wet, so I have to have my ketchup or BBQ sauce (the only wet things I put on my burger) on the patty with pickles and lettuce between it and the bun.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Way too complicated and busy. Mine is...
Soft top bun, toasted
Dime size dab of ketchup or El Yucateco hot sauce
Melted cheese, preferably American
Burger
Soft bottom bun, toasted
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
almost the same as the picture except i place the onions on top of the cheese then tomato then lettuce but if the burger is good enough, all those veges get pulled off.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Toasted bun, mayo, burger, bacon, cheese, burger, bacon, cheese, mayo, pickles, toasted bun.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
I'm so glad you asked this question. This is a pet peeve of mine. I do not like getting a burger with the veggies between the cheese and the bun. This is the proper order (to me): Top bun, toasted, melted cheese, burger, pickles, onion thinly sliced, tomato, lettuce, mustard, bottom bun. Most often I do not add tomato, or lettuce. I really dislike mustard against the cheese. It gives a tang that is not tasty. When the veggies are on top of melted cheese it seems to be a much sloppier experience. If I opt for lettuce I prefer it shredded as it is easier to eat than a whole leaf of lettuce that sometimes makes everything slide around. I also prefer red onion.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
If I'm adding onions I only add Walla Walla Sweets or when they are out of season just a plain red onion. Never a regular white or yellow onion. That's when you get he onion taste throughout your mouth. Personally I think if you are going to put raw onion on anything it should be a red onion.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
Omit the mayo and mustard, and this looks like my kind of burger.
The Kitchn on How to Build a Better Burger
My ideal burger is a very simple cheeseburger with lettuce and onion. I wrote a quite detailed step-by-step procedure to make it at http://sites.google.com/site/matteorisoldi/i-like/hamburger

Oh, and it's only three hours away from me. This burger sounds like the exact opposite of a Dementor Attack. Must... find... car... keys...
