I like Camembert, Brie, and blu cheeses, but never put them on a burger.
Not a cottage cheese fan
I don't consider American cheese to be real cheese, just a lifelong bias i have always held and will continue to hold.



That said, my favorite cheese for a burger is probably Smoked Gouda, Muenster, or Habanero Pepperjack.

Never was a Mayo or Miracle Whips fan, until I tried Cupid Japanese Mayo which is made out of the yolks, and its really very tasty.

I love onion on a burger, can be raw, grilled, steamed, or prepared any other possible way.

I love some dill pickle slices on a burger.

I love some mustard on a burger. I think my favorite is probably Boetje's but, Im happy with yellow, brown, dijon, dutch, german, or just about any other type of mustard.

Pretzel buns are best
Onion buns are good option as well

I love a fried egg on my burger "hangover burger" style

Had a Culvers double butterburger on Weds, or we have made some burgers like 10ish days ago at home.
 
I grew up not liking mayonnaise as a kid to loving it as an adult. There are lot of stuff I didn't like or care as a kid that I now like or love.

Body chemistry is to blame. It changes every 7ish years. It's how you come to enjoy foods you hated as a kid, and also how you develop new allergies. I never liked onions or peppers as a kid, but I do now.
 
I prefer patty melts over straight burgers. Nothing like homemade swirl rye, sourdough, Italian or regular bread grilled with sautéed sweet unions. I like American on my burgers, but not that “cheese food” shit, only real cheese. I can do a mix of cheeses, like Provolone, Mozzarella, Sharp Swiss (got to be sharp, since if it is not, it just sucks), Havarti (a.k.a Brick Cheese), sometimes Cheddar and I even like Burrata on it. Then you have to dip it in a vat of ketchup.

If it’s a regular burger, then it’s a combo of cheeses, a homemade bun, lettuce, tomato and ketchup. An egg is good too. Bacon is okay, but usually go without.

What matters is the bread and the meat used. I like a combo of freshly ground sirloin, hamburger and even ribeye (a.k.a Delmonico). I will add pork at times when I usually add an egg. Hamburger at your grocer or butcher is the leftovers of everything, better than some realize.

Is American that nearly cheese stuff that's a bit like cheese flavored glue? Because that's what I put on mine. Mainly for nostalgic reasons.
Unless I'm paying for a decent burger, obviously I'm not going to pay someone to do that to food.

My kids look at me like I'm mental when I try to convince them to try some.

Also how is cottage cheese a choice at all in this?

I saw it on a menu at some weird ass restaurant.

Cottage cheese? Pbbfft. Cheese curds, bitch. Oh, AND cheese on top of the cheese curds, just because it's in WI.

I definitely enjoy a good patty melt (on sourdough, I don't dig on rye, even swirled), which I prefer most probably depends on the day.

And wait, there's sharp Swiss? I will have to seek this out.
 
I think bacon is highly overrated on burgers. I think the whole bacon makes everything better mantra is annoying and terrible overall.

For the classic cheeseburger I'll take a little mayo and ketchup, slice of raw onion, American cheese. That's it.

Sometimes it's fun to do burgers with lots of toppings. An egg is delicious but messy. This place I know always has a burger battle going on between two crazily topped creations that can be fun. The winner stays on another week against a new creation.

I don't disagree about bacon here (even though I do like it on a burger--just that it really isn't needed), but then you talk about putting mayo and ketchup on a hamburger, so your opinion is now worthless. That sucks, man.
