At one time I would have said red, but I only use red on salad now. Give me an onion with a little heat White on burgers and if sautéed

And I ask this cause I'm tending to want to go red on chicken sandwiches and would be easier to just do the same across board

for a restaurant I think red also helps presentation if done right, adds some color to the plate.

I refer plating and associated skills to derek.

Grilled and white, or sautéed.

Fresh/raw red onions are better; but grilled or sautéed white onions beat fresh/raw red.

Fair enough, but I like 'em on burgers and definitely in ceviche.

But to answer your question, I think red. Good taste, better presentation, mo' color!

Neither - Allergic to Onions. Body can tolerate dehydrated or powder, so must be something to do with the liquids in the onion.

No onions. They make ill.

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 04:16 PM

Red onions look better but to me they are usually too strong, I like the sweet 1015's, I believe an Aggie developed them. cheers

Some onions are very strong and then there are others that are very mild and sweet, I personally do not like the strong onions unless they have been cooked, nothing like belching a harsh onion all day.

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 05:43 PM

Red onions look better, but they tend to have a very strong smell to them and they can be too strong in taste too, to the point where they overwhelm the burger. Onions provide the crunch in a burger, so you want a good think slice of sweet onion in your burger bite, not a single ring of a stinky red onion.

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 06:30 PM

I don't care for raw onion on anything, but grilled/caramelized are fine. If you use yellow for onion rings then just use those and just order one onion.

White on burgers purple onions go best with beans and cornbread.
Posted By: Samsonsworld

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 07:55 PM

I would say green onions as a topper for beans, chili or soup.

Sweet white onions, like vidalia or some of the Texas versions

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 08:35 PM

Any onion good, don't matter to me so long as the slices are big enough to cover it.

I agree red with the chicken but I sure like some big white tear jerkers on my burger. I get the simplicity for the team though in keeping it simple.

That's a great idea, his onion rings are excellent. Throw a couple on the chicken sandwich and if that works you're set with one onion.

sweet yeller onions and yellow tators fried together are pretty dang good! I love pretty much all onions. the purple ones give me some stank breath!

Re: Red or White Onions ? - 08/31/20 09:58 PM

I voted early for white, but after reading all the other comments, I would second my vote for white. The burger should have bite, and the red does not cut it. Red is for raw salad only, and sometime white is better on salad too.

Red, White, or Yellow? You can’t go wrong, they all good.
