Serious Eats: mkania's Profile

Unless I'm trying to be a show off, and grinding my own meat, or stuffing blue cheese in the middle of the burger patty, I am completely indiscriminate about what I'll slop on a burger- ketchup, mustard (yellow, dijon or grainy), mayo, relish, pickle, bbq chips, onion rings, pickled onions sliced thin, horseradish, all and sundry hot sauces, vegetables, what else ya got? I pay zero mind to the flavor combinations in that case for some reason and I am rarely displeased.

Question of the Day: On Your Burger—Ketchup or Mustard?

Both, with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, seasonings, and sometimes other random veggies (mushrooms, peppers, whatever). Sometimes cheese, sometimes not. Ketchup and mustard can be traded for Frank's though. Or for A1. Or for teriyaki sauce. Or even for marinara and mozzerella. NO mayo.

Question of the Day: On Your Burger—Ketchup or Mustard?

Preferred in this order...from bottom to top:

Bottom of bun - toasted
French's mustard
Burger patty
American Cheese
Onion slice - no more than 1/4" thick - raw, full slice
Pickles - sufficient to cover the onion
Tomato - 1/4 thick sufficient to cover the almost all of the patty. If 2 slices needed, thinner slice
Iceburg lettuce
Mayo
Top of bun - toasted

NEVER ketchup. That's for fries.

Can I have salsa and avocado on a veggie patty instead, please? :(

Adam this is an awesome topic because until I really got involved in 'food blog' stuff I never knew people ate mayo on burgers. Even amongst my friends during the bad 'McD' years, Quarter Pounders were the rule, no mayo-laden Big Macs. I always had hamburgers as a meat eater with ketchup and perhaps a little bit of mustard. I thought there was ketchup and a bit of mustard and nakedness, nothing else.

With veggie burgers, which I eat now, the topping depends on the taste of the patty. I know now that a fondness for various toppings may be very regional and local--I guess in the NJ area where I live, ketchup is the rule.

Mustard is a Texas thing on burgers. I always also add ketchup to mine. I never had mayo on a burger til i moved to the east coast.

Mustard just doesn't sound right so it's ketchup and mayo for me.

If there is lettuce and a good tomato - then it is mayo and mustard. If not, then it's mustard and pickle only.

My partner & I are condiment whores....so we've tried everything imaginable....e.g. sriracha & soy sauce on turkey burgers is pretty good!

But...If you are talking about plain old backyard cookouta or picking up a sack at white castle....I gotta go with mustard over ketchup.

Question of the Day: On Your Burger—Ketchup or Mustard?

These days I eat veggie burgers more than regular ones, but when I eat the regular ones it is ketchup all the way. I think I'd sooner use mayo than mustard (in addition to ketchup) because I don't eat cheeseburgers, so I'd imagine it would give it a sort of creaminess that cheese would give (though I don't really know).

Veggie burgers usually get ketchup with a bit of mustard, though this also depends on what is in the burger itself (spices, etc).

PS - I like this "question of the day" thing!
