do people over-complicate burgers nowadays?
Who is people
Yes.
>>7584357
human beings
>>7584355
You tell me
http://zombieburgerdm.com/drink-lab/
>>7584355
Yup. Even though I had Mayo, peanut butter and pickle with my burger and it was God tier. You guys should try it
No
>>7584361
what the fuck is that thing
>>7584377
Looks like shit. Probably because it is
>>7584355
Yes. Salad, mayo, none of that crap belongs on a burger.
Meat, bread. That's a burger. You can add cheese and bacon if you want. BBQ pulled pork gets an honorary mention because it's fucking delicious, though. Serve the rest on the side.
>>7584402
>salad
Not all vegetables are salad, dumbass.
>>7584355
Yes, very much so.
>>7584355
What's the matter with a little variety ?
A signature burger?
yes SOME people over conplicate burgers.
But most don't
>>7584381
>>7584425
this board is afraid of flavor
>>7584446
Most of this board is afraid of food, much less food with flavor.
How else can you explain the constant fast food shilling and the "which chef is your waifu" threads?
Double cheeseburger with 1 (one) optional topping is objectively the best burger.
>>7584355
some people do
>>7584516
They gotta tone down on the cheese too. There's no reason to put four slices of American (fucking disgusting) cheese on a double cheeseburger. One slice is fucking plenty. One slice is almost too much. If burger joints used, you know, real cheese, then two slices would be fine, maybe three if you're feelin' fat, but come on.
>>7584405
But they don't belong on it EITHER, wankstain.
this is as fancy as i'll get.
>>7584562
I hope you know you're a child with a child's palate.
>>7584402
>calls toppings "salad"
>thinks he has any right to define what a burger is.
Lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and mayo all belong on a burger.
Even a little kid will add ketchup to a plain burger. Meat and bread with nothing else on it is basically dog food.
>>7584402
>Being this much of a basic eater
FUCK YOU. I HATE YOU YOU FUCKING PLEB REEEEEEE BURN IN HELLLLLL
>>7584616
>even a little kid will add ketchup
Plain hamburgers (without any toppings at all) are actually quite common among kids. You'll see when you get one.
>>7584616
>Lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and mayo all belong on a burger
I agree.
>>7584640
The mayo can't be just mayo. It has to be mixed with something else.
The place up the block does like a garlic mayo aioli or something and it works really well on the burger
>>7584628
Boulud's foie gras stuffed bistro burger is pretty extreme, though reports are that it's delicious. I can't bring myself to pay $35 for a burger, even if with appetizers it's big enough to be lunch for two.
>>7584402
>Meat, bread. That's a burger
That's a sandwich. A Hamburger is a sandwich made with a ground beef steak or patty. Certain sandwiches have condiments and toppings predetermined by the name and type of sandwich: e.g. Reuben. Other sandwiches, such as the Hamburger, have common or "traditional" condiments and toppings which people may or may not choose to eat--as well as others they may choose to try.
You choose to eat a plain Hamburger sandwich. Positively thrilling information.
>>7584692
>Hamburger
Hot Hamburg Sandwich.
I don't see any point in a burger that won't fit in your mouth when you bite into it.
I don't care how many cocks you can suck, stuff like >>7584361 is annoying as fuck to eat.
In my opinion yes. I've tried the burger that's shown in this video and it was delicious. All it had was beef, onion, cheese, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. But they were all top quality. As with all foods, if your ingredients are top notch, you don't need thousands of them.

>>7584402
Look I've had burgers (usually in barbecues and camping trips) that had just cooked onions and some burger sauce. That's what I'd consider the bare minimum but it's definitely acceptable to call it a burger if it has salad and even cheese in it.
Yes, burgers are a meme food now. But the main problem isn't as much too many ingredients as it is them being stuffed too big to be able to eat practically without having to compress the shit out of it first.
A quality burger, a slice of smoked cheese melted over it, ketchup over that in the shape of a pentagram, then some crispy fried onions or gherkins. Now that's a nice burger. If you want your burger to be so fucking massive, have 2 of them.
>>7585552
>make that flatter with your hand
>grease goes everywhere
>>7585547
i don't agree with you though i don't see why compressing some loosely packed salad is a problem.
>>7585557
It's obvious when you press that fucking mess down it's going to be messy and greasy as fuck. Why not just put less on? Does your fatass cave of a mouth require stuffing with as much of everything as possible?
>>7584446
>this bus goes to Flavortown
NO!! Let me off at Tendieville
>>7585531
>burger patty has a smaller radius than the bun
This triggers me everytime when someone is trying to make a 'premium' burger.
>>7585544
can confirm, i'll take 1 of each of your pentagram burgers please
>>7585578
i believe you mean diameter my publicly educated chum
>>7585596
if the burger's radius was smaller than the bun's radius then the burger would be smaller than the bun
wuh oh
>>7585555
>>7585571
>>7585578
i think you'd be surprised if you actually had this burger in front of you by how small it is. most of the excess height comes from shredded salad which compresses down very easily.
i always find it funny how vociferous you guys are about tall burgers. it's not like this one has a crazy amount of stuff like onion rings and shit in it. it's just relatively narrow.
>>7585604
yeah but you meant diameter
>>7585578
you do that when you want a thick burger. because it will compress.
>>7585611
one is proportional to the other, i don't see the issue.
>>7585614
yeah but you're him
>>7585618
you win this time anon
>>7585617
yeah but he meant diameter, he gets to be technically correct but that's only because he tripped upwards. i'll fight him and you at the same time.
>>7585610
pic related, your burger
>>7585624
i do make flatter types. it's up to mood really. i agree that overstuffed burgers are shitty.
>>7585637
Now we're getting somewhere. I'd eat that one.
Yes
Tempeh, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, soy sauce, avocado
All you need
>>7585539
Should be Red Onion, mate. Get a grip
>>7585637
This guy gets it.
a burger whos radius is => the bun.. Its the simple things that make it awesome.
>>7584377
Literally YAAAAASSSS
>>7585667
don't you mean diameter anon
>>7585673
diameter = 2 * radius. The root dimension is radius.
1/10, you pulled a few
>>7584355
I wouldn't mind that if it had some mayonnaise or something so it isn't dry as hell. Hate dry sandwiches.
>>7584361
That ain't no burger. That's a stacked meal.
>>7585624
>24$
>for 9 buns
Dude 9 cheeseburger burgers cost less than this and it comes with more brad and vegetables the fuck is this.
>>7585724
This is the low carb alternative
>>7585621
You're a funny guy
>>7585637
That right there is a nice burger
>>7584573
where'd you get it?
>>7584523
It looks like the Mondo Burger from the Good Burger film
>>7584523
Why can't even Michelin frogs into burgers?
Is this burger worth 11 bucks to you guys? Local craft beer hipster joint has them. I find them quite enjoyable but the price is daunting. Considering I pay 6 bucks for a pint of beer or upwards of 10 for limites edition crafts I shouldnt be so judgy.
>>7586483
>>7585463
manlet detected
>>7586483
Nope, not even with the fries. Also
>thick cut fries
>>7586483
I literally can't imagine a single burger that would be worth $11.
I mean, I imagine it'd be a good burger, but I feel like there's a point where the quality of the burger plateaus in regards to its price, and you're better off just using the meat for something else.
I mean, it's just a burger.
>>7586483
>Considering I pay 6 bucks for a pint of beer or upwards of 10 for limites edition crafts I shouldnt be so judgy.
This is how they trick you, I used to work in the kitchen at a craft bar and oh was the food overpriced for what we were using. Nobody ever complained though.
>>7586483
Fuck no. I could by 3 decent loaves of bread for that price, which I could eat for many days.
>>7584360
*human beans
>brioche bun
Should a burger be grilled or shallow fried?
>>7586593
you have a terrible imagination.
>>7584402
I have a friend who takes his burgers this way, and is likewise fussy with everything else he eats. He's my good friend and I love him, but he's a fucking pleb when it comes to food.
>>7584355
>sesame seeds

>>7585637
This looks fucking great.
>>7585525
Are those onions and mushrooms or worms?
>>7586483
given that i'm used to paying 10 QUID for a burger and that's often without chips, i'm gonna say you should suck it up.
As soon as it doesn't fit in your mouth you have outreached simplicity.
>>7587156
>given that i'm used to paying 10 QUID for a burger and that's often without chips
Come on mate, that's just stupid unless you buy from a central London tourist trap.
>>7585637
Would devour/10
Well done.
>>7584425
>What's the matter with a little variety ?
Nothing wrong with a little. Asiago or Swiss cheese instead of cheddar, maple bacon or chorizo instead of regular bacon, kalamata olives instead of pickles, no issue there. However, most
>signature burger?
seem to overdo it, by making it into a foie gras-stuffed grass fed lamb burger with feta cheese, sriracha mayo, wild mustard greens, thinly sliced heirloom carrots, served on a lightly toasted brioche bun. Sure, every ingredient can be tasty and high quality, but that doesn't mean they go well together, or even should go together. It's just too complex for a humble dish such as a hamburger.
>>7584446
Except a good burger, made with good ingredients and char grilled, in a good quality bun, with a few onions and a simple relish, is delicious and packed full of flavour.
When people start layering up shit on top you completely lose that flavour and replace it with things like tomato and cheese and bacon, at which point you may as well have a bacon, cheese & tomato grilled sandwich and be done with it.
>>7585596
Look at this idiot
>>7586340
here's a michelin burger

why do amerifats think their plastic "bread" is good at all?
>>7587532
>plate of market vegetables $29
>shoestring fries $10
>>7584355
yup, around where i live a decent burger has two pattys, four eggs, and four slices of cheese and no veggies for me but its included. i have gotten used to it that i started calling it a normal burgur
>>7587542
>clearly brioche
>American
Go fuck your sheep
>>7587579
>no veggies
>superfluous cheese
honestly disgusting
>>7586483
fuck no. for that price I'm making my own at home. jesus they don't even have a decent sear. for 11 fucking dollars? even chilies can sear a burger.
>>7587532
oh man you can tell they really care because they put meme grill marks on the bun for no reason
>>7587532
isn't that just a beef sausage sandwich?
anyway heres my example of a decent burger, theres better out there of course. easily, but theres vegetables and the meat isn't overwealming everything.
>>7587810
Mmmm. those look tasty. Too bad about the god awful crinkle cut fries though!
>>7587814
for crincle cut they don't look awful but yeah, straight or double for me.
honestly though these fucking things are awful for you.

No. I can and have found better at random pubs. Fuck hipsters.
>>7587156
Shit, I'd expect chips with it at that price, maybe a drink too. The fuck are you eating, Five Gays?
Because that's literally restaurant prices for fast food.
>>7587810
Looks good, except for the bread. I like my bread toasted, this looks a bit to floppy.
>>7587838

You should probably lead with that so that everyone knows to stop reading.
>>7587837
>Potatoes don’t belong in the refrigerator. Keeping potatoes in the fridge can increase the amount of acrylamide produced during cooking, the FDA says. Instead, keep them stored in a dark, cool place, like a pantry.
Hmm.... I've kept taters in the fridge before.
>>7587838
nah pubs. some good some bad. usually no less than 8 quid.
serious question, is there any reason to have tomato in a burger?
I get that it looks nice with the lettuce, but I've never eaten a tomato in any kind of burger or sandwich that wasn't completely disgusting.
>>7587878
if you like tomato
>>7587878
That's probably a question of the specific tomatoes used, not the idea of using a tomato in a sandwich in general. Supermarket and food-wholesaler tomatoes are universally shit because they're bred to have a long shelf life and maximum durability for transportation, as opposed to flavor. Try getting a tomato from your grandma's garden, slice it, and stick that a in burger.
>>7587878
>>7587888
90% of the time you faggots wont taste the difference. The actual reason tomato's tend to suck has nothing to do with the tomatos being of poor quality compared to grandma's garden (IE the tomatos aren't different). The reason is your grandma's tomatos are grown and picked in season while most people order shit with tomatos on them year round. Of course out of season fruit is going to not be as good. as someone who sliced tomatos for work, it's really really fucking obvious in the winter months that it affects the quality of your tomato, green house or not.
If you still don't like it in the summer and mid fall months you probably just don't like tomatos.
>>7587912
He's obviously just a picky eater if he's saying shit like he's never enjoyed tomato on any kind of sandwich.
In season tomatoes are obviously better, and fresh off the vine are superior to ones picked before fully ripe and shipped, but I'll still eat and enjoy a hot house tomato on my burger when it's snowing outside.
>>7586483
>knife through the burger
why? it won't fall apart anytime soon.
idk but this being 22 cents was a major highlight of my day.
