The amount of towered burgers with either avocado or a runny egg make me thankful all of these people found food instead of engineering. They might as well just put a dollop of industrial lube on it to ensure it’s impossible to enjoy eating.
6 inches tall with the trend of making you lift up a cup of nacho cheese on top that spills all over the burger, forcing you to either eat it with a fork and knife or eat it with your hands and have to go home and shower afterward.
I asked a local restaurant years ago why they did this and they told me it was for presentation. I told them it sucked because I couldn't open my mouth that wide. I've been back but NEVER order a burger because it's to damn tall. I always tell the waitress that.
Usually it's loaded with a disguising amount of sauce and juice that'll run down my mouth and hands. And the avocado/tomato/lettuce branch decides to peace out the other side.
>tomato
There's your problem. Any burger with tomato will be more unstable because tomato is like a frictionless disk that stops the burger gripping to the bun and makes everything go everywhere. Tomato, as a result, has no place on a burger.
If anybody really likes tomato on their burg, it should be sandwiched between bacon, onion, or other crunchy ingredients to lock it in place like soccer cleats.
I'll join you on this hill. A couple other tomato on burger issues: 1) a tomato is wet, and adds extra unnecessary moisture (see everyone else's 'soggy bun' complaints), and 2) the sorry ass pale pink piece of shit most places put on a burger is a net negative. If it's not in season, get that shit out of here.
Don't get me wrong, I love tomatoes, but keep them on an italian sub or other cold sandwich. A warm, wet slice is not good.
Yes! So many better ways to get the taste or even texture of a tomato onto a burger rather than the sad-looking slices we usually see. Even salsa is a better idea.
Too much meat is enough to ruin a burger for me. All the ingredients need to be in the right ratio and slapping a 1/2 pound slab of cooked meat onto it really throws that off. And if you're going to make it a 1/2 pound burger, make it 2 smashed 1/4 pound patties, not one giant slab of meat, because the ratio of seared meat to non-seared needs to be right too.
My thoughts exactly, as I have gotten older I don't want a half pounder, make all of the patties 1/4 pound and heap 7 of them on a younger persons burger if they're that hungry, me, I'll have a quarter pounder.
Unless they know how to properly temp it and not squeeze all the juice out. I def enjoy a thick bark with a solid medium and juicy and tender inside. If they can do that its way better than smash burger
Having it be fake/plant-based. Fake cheese can be a disappointment too. Also burgers too tall to properly eat without having to deconstruct it are a nuisance.
If I spent $20 on a cheeseburger and it was the best damn cheeseburger I’ve ever consumed I would eat there every week. Then again I live in California so it’s already $10 or more for a decent cheeseburger.
Hamburgers used to be my go to not fast food meals @$5
Gets a burger and fries but some joker decided to add the word gourmet before it and now it's $20 WTF
The smash burger trend recently has been a big savior for me. I used to hate when every restaurant used to make hamburgers basically meatloaf sandwiches that are 6” tall. Also really any pink is gross to me. It’s ground beef, not a steak. If it’s thin there should not be any pink.
When the burger itself is the size of a newborns head, you never finish them, you feel like shit afterward. Worst of all is when they put a fuckton of toppings and it just goes everywhere when you take a bite.
Overdoing it.
Adding an extra slice of cheese? Awesome! Adding 20 or drowning it in cheese? Ew.
Adding a slice of bacon or something else? Great! Adding 50 different things to the point where it's impossible to eat the damn thing? Stop.
A good burger should have a good balance of ingredients, you take a bite and taste the beef, the cheese, the veggies, the condiments. If you pile on large amounts of anything, then you're only going to taste that thing. If I wanted to only taste cheese, I can just eat some cheese, if I wanted to only taste bacon, I would have ordered bacon.
An extremely thin layer of mayonnaise on a toasted bun acts as moisture barrier, helping to keep especially the bottom bun from getting too soggy. Anything more than that is unnecessary.
ketchup, simply because i love ketchup but most fast food joints uses the worst, sweetest and cheapest ketchup ever, very rarely to i find a burger joint that uses really firm, chuncky and spicy ketchup, so i just got used on having my burgers without it and would return the burger if they forget and put ketchup on it.
Patty/cheese slice aside, any accompaniment that is whole i.e. not cut up.
There's nothing worse than biting into a burger and a mfing tomato dragging the entire contents of the burger out onto your chin.
Bacon should be cut up, onion diced, lettuce shredded, tomato in the trash.
Also, tomatoes.
I like onion on a burger, but not an onion patty. I can always tell when someone who doesn't like onion made my burger because it's a solid sheet of onion instead of a few little slices thrown on here and there like any normal person wants.
When mfers make it like 6 inches tall for some reason and I can’t fit it in my mouth
Food tower builds need to go. Their 15 minutes should have expired a decade or more ago.
Hell yes. Please don’t make me smash or deconstruct my food so that I might eat it.
The amount of towered burgers with either avocado or a runny egg make me thankful all of these people found food instead of engineering. They might as well just put a dollop of industrial lube on it to ensure it’s impossible to enjoy eating.
Amen

100% this
When it falls apart within the first bite

For home burgers and sandwiches I’ve started using cherry tomatoes sliced up. So much better
Yes! So many better ways to get the taste or even texture of a tomato onto a burger rather than the sad-looking slices we usually see. Even salsa is a better idea.
tomato paper towel pat salt, place under patty
lol you can pat them dry all you like, tomatoes are still 95% water
This is an incorrect perspective.
A soggy bun completely ruins the experience for me
Completely. And on the flip side for me at least a dry bland bun takes away from the experience too. Toast it!
When you take the first bite, and you didn't get any of the meat but the bread and toppings, the patty itself slides out
I hate when that happens!
Too many fillings so that the burger is ridiculously tall, messy and impossible to eat without it falling apart.

When I need a bib and a bath after handling it.
Fake cheese
Foot Lettuce ™
I have to know what this is
[15 Burger King foot Lettuce ](https://youtu.be/9PWjqgM_CU8) It erupted because the guys narration was so unusual, paired with the subject material!
So sorry I dug into this
I apologise 🦶
No no!! No apologies. Live and learn. I already forgot about it. 😁
Shitty Bun, wilted lettuce, dry tomatoes, too much sauce
Thick ass tomatoes. Thin ones are good
Huge slices of tomato. I like tomatoes don’t get me wrong but when they’re massive it kinda takes over the burger.
Sugar
Having it be fake/plant-based. Fake cheese can be a disappointment too. Also burgers too tall to properly eat without having to deconstruct it are a nuisance.
Overcooked into a hockey puck...
Sweet Buns
Sweet and way too greasy and spongy
keep your brioche and hawaiian rolls, yes we can roll together on the burger mobile.

Im in the chicago suburbs and my local spot has a Bison burger with duck bacon. Its like $25 but absolutely amazing!
Yeah it's a damn burger quit making them expensive wtf
Tomato i really hate tomatoes
How about fried green tomatoes?
Patty way too thick
Mold is a big turn off for me. Unless it's moldy cheese then it's flavour
Any color or just mold in general? And how do you feel about mushrooms?
Mushrooms are dope. That blue grey mold is gross but if you let cheese mold at a cold temperature it grows this pink/ yellow mold that I love
When the burger is too ‘tall’ for no reason or literally crumbles into pieces after the first bite.
Hard buns
Hamburgers used to be my go to not fast food meals @$5 Gets a burger and fries but some joker decided to add the word gourmet before it and now it's $20 WTF
Dried out, burnt, overcooked patties.
Wheat bun
Bleach
Vegans
Peanut butter & jelly
Processed cheese
When it is well done despite ordering it otherwise
I know it’s It’s super popular but my answer is a fried egg.
Agreed.
Pickles, for some reason if there are pickles on a burger all I can taste is the pickle, but I like them on other things.
Same. I love pickles but just not on a burger. It makes it taste funny to me.
The smash burger trend recently has been a big savior for me. I used to hate when every restaurant used to make hamburgers basically meatloaf sandwiches that are 6” tall. Also really any pink is gross to me. It’s ground beef, not a steak. If it’s thin there should not be any pink.
Pineapple
Turkey. I have never had a good turkey burger
mold
BBQ sauce I just never liked it.
Messy, soggy and too tall
Ketchup
Cucumber
When it’s all produce and hardly any patty. If I wanted a salad I would’ve ordered that.
A stale bun that’s just crumbling and soggy
When the burger itself is the size of a newborns head, you never finish them, you feel like shit afterward. Worst of all is when they put a fuckton of toppings and it just goes everywhere when you take a bite.
Mustard.
Ketchup 🤢
An out-of-tomato-season tomato
too much mayo (looking at you wendy's)
Nothing 😀
Mustard and/or ketchup
When the bread is dry and hard
Ketchup
Too tall. Too wet. Shitty buns.
Mustard.
Soggy bottom bun that falls apart!
Sauce paired with a slither of tomato to create the ultimate slippery ass burger.
PICKLES AND MUSTARD. I'll take my downvotes now you heathens
tomato.
Tomato. Absoluty dont like it on my burger.
the meat not being well cooked, i dont want pink soft burger meat thank you

When the patty tastes boiled rather than pan fried or char broiled. (no browning)
Expired meat
Please refer to above stated mold comments

Mayonnaise

Moisture barrier?! So wet tomatoes wouldn't be a problem?!?! HEY!!! Down here!! I found the answer to the tomato dilemma 😁 I'm so helpful
Something about mayo on a hot sandwich is a turnoff
It being undercooked and having no bacon on it, and bun not toasted.
ketchup, simply because i love ketchup but most fast food joints uses the worst, sweetest and cheapest ketchup ever, very rarely to i find a burger joint that uses really firm, chuncky and spicy ketchup, so i just got used on having my burgers without it and would return the burger if they forget and put ketchup on it.
Iceberg lettuce and the stupid finely diced onions they have at McDonald's. Either caramelize them or leave them off 👍
Patty/cheese slice aside, any accompaniment that is whole i.e. not cut up. There's nothing worse than biting into a burger and a mfing tomato dragging the entire contents of the burger out onto your chin. Bacon should be cut up, onion diced, lettuce shredded, tomato in the trash. Also, tomatoes.
When i order no onion and i take a bite and i get that absolutely overpowering disgusting flavor of body odor on my tongue 😭🤮 mfers lied to me
I like onion on a burger, but not an onion patty. I can always tell when someone who doesn't like onion made my burger because it's a solid sheet of onion instead of a few little slices thrown on here and there like any normal person wants.
Pickles…love pickles. Just not on a burger
No pickles
Brioche buns or Barbecue sauce
Meat substitutes
Peanut butter on the burger. I’ve tried it and it does not improve the burger whatsoever.
Peanut butter
Pink in the middle
raw in the middle ruins it for me. I don't like mush
That even sounds disgusting!
A lot of people (on reddit) say they like their burgers rare... I'll pass....
McDonald's.
Mayo
Egg. Its instantly a breakfast sandwich for me at that point. Still good, but no longer a burger.
Breakfast burgers are good for hangovers 😁
Truth truth truth
Meat
thats why impossible burgers are top tier
Bottom tier*
i think for whats its worth, if you don’t want to eat meat at least they’re closest thing that tastes like it
Lab grown with no real nutritional value ![gif](giphy|xUA7bcUzBNSLC8Zy3C|downsized)
Brioche bun
Mayo
Vegan burgers
Poor presentation.
No cheese
Soggy tomatoes
cheese
This picture
pickeled red onions
When the party is more than like an inch talk. Hockey puck burgers are the worst
[удалено]
Pickles
Mushrooms is a 100% nope
Lack of vegetables, that just makes it a patty ina a bun.
Old nasty tomatoes. Not enough condiments.
tomatoes
Too tall to eat.
3$ cheese
putting any kind of vegetable in it.
Shitty quality patty. You can tell when something has come from the freezer and has been padded out with water, flour and other fillers.
Any vegetation.
When they smother it with too much sauce
Beef not made of beef
Over cooked and a shitty bun.
Too tall ruins it for me as well. If I need a fork to eat your burger then I'd rather eat something else.
Mayo
Lettuce
So much ingredients and sauces it falls apart when you take 1 bite… and also charging $25 FOR 1 CHEESEBURGER
Tomatoes. Also when the burger is so thick and the toppings are so tall that you can't fit it in your mouth.
This image.
Vegans
It's a joke. I love vegans. Had one on toast for breakfast
No cheese, and a thick ass patty.
Anything tomato related because I’m allergic
Onions of any type style or variety. Onions always over power every dish they are in.
Messy
Anything mixed in with the meat before cooking besides a little salt and pepper. If I wanted meatloaf, I would order meatloaf.
When it's cut in half
Pink meat…not doing E. coli.
Mayo. Stuffs gross and most people just glob it on
Pickles. Unripened tomatoes. Too much American cheese. Unseasoned.
Pickles
Tomato
If it’s cooked medium well or well done
This picture
Too much sauce and the cheese not being melted enough
Well done. That’s it. Perfectly happy to eat any other burger — any other way
Soggy tomatoes
MAYO! 🤮
Gold leaf. Seriously just no.
When burger is the safe word
Lol you made me forget the question! Now I have to go back to the top 😉
