Bogart posted:You have missed the word 'just'. It is not 'just' about the meat. A burger on bun may be a burger, but it is not a good burger. Minimalist burgers are good if you have really strong meat. Like you have beef cheek in the mix. Those have enough flavour to just stand on their own with some mustard or horseradish and be a great burger. Hell if it's really strong cheese and fresh vegetables kinda clash with it and make the whole thing worse.

 Burger from a hot dog place which does much better burgers than hot dogs. Why do so many hot dog places insist on giant rolls and stacking so vertical that even my giant gob can't take reasonable bites?

Found out a Huxtaburger opened in town so went and tried it. Was pretty great, meat was really juicy and the buns were toasted with butter, ketchup and there's fried onions in there which aren't visible in the shot, just a good old fashioned burger. WHY BONER NOW posted:It occurred to me I've never had a burger with radish as a topping and now I'm really curious, is it any good? Radish is sharp, sweet and kind of peppery if lightly pickled. It's loving great as an alternative to regular pickles especially on really greasy burgers, same reason Korean fried chicken places give you a bowl of the stuff.

Don Dongington posted:What!? no. Really? Wasn't my experience at Johnny's. I'm usually pretty blitzed when I'm that neck of the woods though, it being near my cousins, so that might colour my opinion. Like part of it might also just be the novelty of being the only place I know to do really big burgers well but they certainly weren't gristly or undercooked when I had em. Also been to Hood Burger but forgot, yeah point, they good. Was not aware of the others, which is a shame cause Bump In is near a mate's, need to check them out.

He had a really good mix of onion, herbs and really good beef mince going on though. I attempted the Fat Boy once but only got through 5 of those drat half pound patties. Aww poo poo seriously?

Like until recently they were the only option fried chicken wise here, and while variety has arrived KFC's still pretty good? Like not as good as most of the independent chicken joints popping up or the other chains invading(Hot Star, Chimek and Nene's here, probably way more over east), but also like half the price. Maybe I just go to a couple of particularly good KFCs though.

My local butcher got me to try making burgs with beef cheek and chuck. It worked, great unique texture but the beefy iron taste was so strong so it didn't really work with conventional burger toppings. Thinking of maybe treating it like tough steak and throwing horseradish/wasabi and onions on next time. I'll take pics when I do.

wormil posted:Long version: Decades back in Anchorage there was a burger joint owned by an Asian family that served like 30 (pulling that number from my rear end) types of burgers. They would put anything and everything (carrots, cabbage, on a burger in combinations that back then were extraordinary but the burgers were always delicious. The place burned down and was never rebuilt but I would like to try some new burger variations at home and am looking for inspiration. I've done pineapple + chipotle, pineapple + jalapeno, fried eggs + fried crispy onions, cucumbers + tomato + red onions, several different slaws, all awesome, but I want more ideas. I had a burg with grilled beetroot and chicken liver spread once. Also had some standard salad and a garlic mayo. That was an interesting and staggeringly meaty burg. The place also really charred up their burgs which was especially on point for this combo. Edit: I wasn't entirely onboard with the grilled beetroot, but the chicken liver spread is something I still sometimes use on burgs at home.

Ultimate Mango posted:You have opened the portal to the Greek burger realm. Oh poo poo yeah, another option from the other side of the Aegean (well migrants from, or descended from there) the kebab shop burger. Get a big patty, iceberg lettuce, tomato (or tabouli with tomato), lightly pickled white onion, hummus, shredded mozzarella, then a sauce composed of sour cream, really piquant mustard (English mustard's good) and a fierce chilli sauce balanced so it looks a threatening orange and garlic. Then put that poo poo into a turkish roll. For full authenticity make a vaguely oblong burger to fit the roll. Oh and an egg. Cause Australia.

Does duck make good burger patties? I know it's got more fat and can be cooked to a lesser doneness safely than chicken and turkey so I'm kinda curious how it does. But not like debone a duck to experiment myself curious.

Peanut butter and jam can be good on burgers and around here a lot of places do it, usually calling it an Elvis or something similar. The main issue is a lot of places overdo it and it becomes a sloppy mess. The one at Greenhorns (the place I posted) was excellent because they were conservative on amounts but used a very powerful jam and a crunchy peanut butter. My name is mostly just a reference to me being a Also no judgment on the miracle whip cause we don't have it down here.
