This is mystifying. Total voters = 52. Just the first two are 37 and 25, more than 52. :rolleyes:
Multiple votes are allowed. 10x52 = 520 possible votes or 400 votes in a base 13 system.

More than one kind of cheese on a burger? Weird.
Or...the kind you use differs, depending on mood/tastes at the moment.

Here in Wiscompton, we keep more than a single kind of cheese on-hand at any given time :p

Oh, off the top of my head, I have in my fridge/freezer:

Coastal English aged cheddar
Provolone
Jarlsberg
Local bleu
Cream cheese
Mozarella
Two kinds of hard Italian (Romano and Parmesan)
Probably nothing from Wiscompton

When I make a pizza it gets several cheeses. I limit my other dishes to a single cheese at most.

I can agree with that. How about pickles then?
I wouldn't say no to a slice of dill pickle, but the red onion is crucial. Now, I'm a guy who hasn't eaten a hamburger in at least 2 years IIRC. I used to make them at home, I'd grind my own meat, bake the bread, grow the tomatoes. It's just not on my personal menu now. Lately I've had a mind to hit McDonalds after hearing the story from the director of Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'N' Roll in the extras that in choosing a director for the movie, they interviewed several, one by one. A certain one invited Chuck and the producers to a very exclusive expensive Los Angeles restaurant and Chuck was late (not unusual). He walks in ~20 minutes late carrying a bag of McDonalds with burger, OJ and hot apple pie. They said enjoy this fabulous dinner on us and Chuck's response was "I know what I like to eat, now let's talk business." He didn't get along with that guy and chose a director he met later. I have nothing against a McDonalds burger.

Lately I've been putting leftover Moe's queso on them with extra pickled jalepenos. Doesn't need any other toppings or condiments (except bacon, of course).

For a while I was buying Beyond burgers b/c I thought they were healthier. Once I found out that they were more unhealthy and the bonus was supposed to be environmental impact I stopped.

They were OK. Not as good as a real beef patty but way better than any veggie/vegan option I've tried. I haven't tried Impossible yet, I've heard it's better than Beyond.
Impossible burger is just as unhealthy

When I make a hamburger at home I use beef I ground myself from a lean cut. First I remove obvious extra fat and discard. I NEVER BUY GROUND BEEF OF ANY KIND.

However, for several years I've stopped grinding beef. When I make a "hamburger" (let's just call it a burger), I make it with Nature's Burger:

Some years ago a roommate prepared some of this to fry and the aroma was so terrific I had to try it. Been buying it by the carton for years.

I genetically engineer each cow and raise it on a strict diet of Fiji water and my own strain of Kentucky bluegrass/northern California sinsemilla. I hire illegals to massage them daily.

I may have to give this up. I have 2 unopened 10oz packages as shown, a little in a jar. Amazon evidently doesn't sell it anymore. They used to have a discount if you ordered periodically and I got in on that. Nowadays I don't use it often. My local indy supermarket used to sell it in bulk, unlikely they do now, I'll have a look.

I'm sure I saw this question on imgur recently. I only tend to put my hands/mouth ON my burger.

It's better to eat to live than eat some of the nasty "healthy" stuff and live couple seconds longer. Some tradeoffs are not worth it.

I don't eat that Nature's Burger because it's healthy, it's delicious.

This will go on my next burger. Picked it up at my local trader joe's yesterday

300553ccad5082d2c1997c3cf7771275.jpg
Made a burger today with the trader joe's magnifisauce - basically their version of big Mac sauce or animal style sauce. It was quite good actually. Burger was a 1/3lb Bubba burger.

Is that a raw onion? Y'all crazy!

It's definitely a bad photo, due to the angle, cause that was a 1/3lb burger, but the onion was huge so it covered it up, makes it look non-existent. The Sweet Onions I've been getting lately are giant. After I cut the end off that was the size of the first slice! But the onion was probably like a 1/5 the thickness of the burger. However I do like the onion to have a solid presence, not some shavings like McD's puts on. Sweet onion on a big juicy burger = perfection.
