Hamburger America: 'Solly's Grille'

the stacked butter was like gold bullion. a beautiful sight.

i also chuckled at the man who had to wipe his forearms from what i imagine to be the melted butter. i'm having homemade butter burgers this week!

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

I'm indiscriminating. I choose on a whim based on appetite and available condiments, but ketchup has historically found its way onto my burgers more than mustard.

Question of the Day: Boneless Buffalo Wings—Do They Fly?

instant coolguy's last sentence sums up the experience quite nicely. last year, i co-hosted a weekly wings night. we averaged 16+ people for nearly 10 months. we have pictures of emptied beer pitchers brimming with bones.

and yes, eating a wing in 1 swift motion is a skill that one acquires when faced with a plate of 20 that need to go down before they become cold and unappealing. as you may have guessed, i'm of the boned-contingent. the other is a throwback to the days of campus dining halls, though. they each have their place, but if an establishment has both, you can bet dollars to donuts i'm going for the legit ones: wings!

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

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.

This is also good for diet, as its relatively lo-cal.

1/4lb chop meat, drained of fat
1 tbsp lite bbq sauce
sauteed onion
fat free american cheese
corn tortilla

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? :(

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

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.

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

Both, but just a smidge of mustard and alot of ketchup and mayo.

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

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

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

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.

This is not an advertisement, but I like Heinz "57" sauce on my burger.

No ketchup or mustard - mayo, tomatoes, lettuce, Frank's sauce, S & P -

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!

Mustard on one bun, miso mayo on the other! Lettuce, cheese, pickles, and pickled jalapenos. YUM!

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

Ketchup, mayo, onion (fresh or grilled), leaf lettuce, tomato (homegrown), maybe guacomole or cheese (but not usually). NO pickles!

Both, but no mayo... wait, does that make me too "frou frou"? I like extra pickles and hot peppers too.

Neither. I only like mayo, cheese, lettuce, and tomato on my burgers.
