What do you want on your burger?

Mmmm....I like this subject. I am a bit of a hamburger connaisseur.

There is a variety of good hamburgers in my mind, all good for different reasons. All different styles from gourmet to burger joint...they all have their special attractions. If you are ever in DFW, ask, because I know where to get them

On the Dallas note: Bailey 1st and 10 sport bar has awesome burgers, more on the greasy side and great cottage fries.

On the Fort Worth side, there is a little place called Cypress Cafe that has a bit more gourmet stuff, offering sprouts and avocado, but equally juicy/greasy. Their mushroom swiss is literally dripping off.

Then regarding the earlier Chicago post: A Stilton burger at a place called Goose Island right by Wrigley field. It has a burger totally encased in peppercorns, topped with stilton cheese, roasted garlic cloves, and spicy mustard on a black russian bun.

At Fuddruckers, my fav is a triple cheese (swiss, chedder, american) burger with diced pink onions, tomato, leaf lettuce, mayo, and mustard. Typically, I dont really like cheeseburgers, but the triple combination is good.

If I am grilling my own, I make two thin hamburgers 'halves', wide and flat...then put hot pepper jack cheese in the middle, then join the halves and mold into a patty. In addition to that my patty mix includes :85% lean (anything leaner and it is too dry, one egg for bonding, very finely diced bell peppers and onions, a bit or worchestire sauce, a bit of bbq sauce, and old bay seasoning. It is the perfect moist mix. These are then topped with onions, tomatos, lettuce, and mayo and mustard.

In my mind, ketchup rarely belongs on my burger. I will eat a whopper with it already on there, but I never add it. I like mayo, mustard, or 1000 island better.

dang, now I am hungry.
