Do you shred the lettuce or no?

Shredded

Bottom bun, patty, ketchup or mustard, shredded/grated cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, top bun.


Bun needs to be toasted on the grill

It's a [censored] burger, gone down the gullet in a few minutes, who gives a [censored] how it's stacked, eat the [censored] call it supper

The mention of ketchup on a burger destroyed any cred you might have had.

Had Fuddruckers for lunch today. Always put fixing on bottom to keep it from getting soggy and falling apart.

You just keep mashing the life out of a patty and let us do what we want. I little ketchup for us non tomato eating types is fine.

On top, no doubt

This thread is disgusting...it's a hamburger. bun + meat...

let me put this how y'all can understand
bread + meat is equal to chili
all other toppings are equal to beans

I sell 1000s of burgers every week, 99 percent of time when one I made as you suggest it's for a small child. But you be you.

I know, right?

the whole greasy meat on top of everything is weird. If you get it that way at restaurant you cant take anything you don't like off without destroying the burger and getting grease all over. Not to mention I don't like my tomatoes squashed and my lettuce wet.

Cruddy fast food type burgers need that garbage. Good meat should stand alone. Sometimes it's good to try different types of stuff on burgers, and it can be good...most places like Whataburger are the equivalent of well done steak...might as well roll it around in fancy ketchup so you'll have something to taste.

What's your place called?

In a way I see your point. When I make burgers at home I prefer them with cheese only and typically when I order burgers I get them dry with cheese and minimal salad toppings. I love the taste of good meat. With that said I also like the fancy burgers with mushrooms and jalapanoe's, etc....
