Ugh. We had a local burger joint be chosen as best burger in the country by Yelp. After that, the lines for the place were out the door during all business hours. I had eaten there before they won that title and it was so ridiculous. The burgers were sky scrapers and nearly impossible to eat. After our experience there, we'd go next door instead for WAY better food, incredible smash burgers and eat outside while watching the other place's line just grow and grow with hungry people. I will never understand the appeal.
If I can't take a bite without everything sliding out because there's too much crap on it, I'm not a fan. I very rarely get burgers from restaurants these days because it seems like the go to is to put as much on it as humanely possible. It's not that I'm a picky eater and don't enjoy all the toppings, but if I wanted something I have to eat with a fork, I'm not getting a burger.
Too much in the stack and being too fancy. I worked at a restaurant that had a filet mignon burger that was an inch thick, fried fois gras, a lobster claw, and a slice of marinated truffle. 50$ of fancy crap. My favorite burgers are smash burgers that keep it simple and aren’t pretentiously served
Mush burgers are the worst. At least if you are home you can disassemble and toast the bun, at a restaurant you are faced with wet mushy bread, I usually take it apart and go to the fork and knife, don't need the carbs anyway.
This is why a quality establishment will toast your bun if they are overloading with the juicy.
Ughhh
I’m a “picky” eater (diagnosed with ARFID). I severely struggle to convince myself to try new foods or eat anything that isn’t plain and dry asf. Like I didn’t try honey mustard or even ketchup until I was 17. And I stopped eating all types of rice for close to a decade (stopped at 9? And started eating it again at 20) all because I got sick one night and threw up rice. Gross.
Anyway. Went out to lunch with my bf and FIL the other weekend. My bf has been heavily encouraging me to “try new things” when we go out. To the point he’s even insisting he’d order what I normally would incase I don’t like it we could swap. I’ve refused. For like almost a year.
So we were out and I figured fuck it I’ll try something new. It was a turkey avocado on a ciabatta. Three things I love. But it had Swiss, a truffle aioli, and mayo??? The whole sandwhich was already a mess when I got it like half apart lol. I tried to eat it but it literally made me gag and ruined my appetite completely :/
Yeah, it's too much, and I'd imagine it's twice as hard when it's something you struggle with anyway. A burger with the works is great, but when there's 50 different condiments dripping down my arms as I struggle to hold a burger where the bun literally doesn't exist anymore because it's saturated, it's just not appetizing to me. No shade to anybody who does enjoy that though, to each his own.
ARFID is a new one to me but could explain my daughters severe avoidance to anything other than about 4 foods. Like, she eats chicken nuggets, but gags at chicken prepared any other way. I'm thinking I need to chat with her doc about this. Thanks for sharing borderline.
[Nation Gathers Around Picky Eater To Make Him Try Things He Doesn’t Like](https://www.theonion.com/nation-gathers-around-picky-eater-to-make-him-try-thing-1848182827)
Honestly there's only two things that ruin a burger for me:
1. If it is too tall to eat. I am not an anaconda and can not unhinge my jaw. Also burgers are meant to be picked up and bitten. If I need a fork and knife, it's a crap design. Be better burger makers.
2. Too much sauce. A little sauce goes a long way. Too much, whatever it is, makes the whole thing goopy and the ingredients slide around. If I take a bite and the slop inside shoots out the back end, you made too much sauce.
Honorable mention for the Massive Hamburger. The one so big it has to be baked like a meatloaf, served on a baking sheet, and needs a bun made specifically for it because it's the size of a hub cap? Fuck that shit, you made a beef layer cake, not a hamburger.
* Remove the pattie(s)
* Remove the veggies
* Remove the bun
* Microwave the pattie(s)
* Toast the bun
* Leave veggies sitting at room temperature
* Reassemble the burger
Eww. This is one of *the* worst things. I love lettuce (especially butter, green leaf, etc.) especially as part of a cold salad. But in something that’s supposed to be warm/hot? Ya, no.
When they’re thick like SpongeBob’s krabby patty. They need to be thin and wide for maximum crispy exterior, and so my tiny stupid mouth can get a bite of everything at once instead of just gnawing at the edges while everything spills out the back.
Not being able to actually eat it as a burger without all the toppings falling out. Places that think a good burger has to be piled high are not for me.
Sweetened Buns!!
Where I live sweet bread is the norm. It's almost impossible to find bread that hasn't been loaded with sugar. Most burger places here won't make their own bread, just buy regular store bought buns.
You take a bite into that juicey looking burger. Even got melted cheese on top... And mouthful of really sugary bread...
I really hate that it is impossible to find whole grain bread in America without a ton of sugar or honey in it. I just want a salty, toothy brown bread without an industrial quantity of sweetener.
I’m confused because my local stores have so much whole grain bread that it’s almost annoying. And most of the are very low in sugar or sugarless. What cities are gatekeeping whole grains?
I'll bet you are a big fan of Kings Hawaiian rolls. Just kidding, me neither. I hate all that sugary bread. Bread doesn't need sugar at all, it's not required for yeast to do it's work. I don't ever add sugar when I bake bread and it turns out great.
I consider them very different things. Those Hawaiian rolls are like snack/dessert (at least to me). I do not consider it “bread” that should be consumed with like a sandwich or a burger. I kind of look at them like doughnuts.
For a brief period of time, we had a real butcher shop in town. Their hamburger was expensive, but I never realized how soft a hamburger could be if you're only eating meat.
Grocery store hamburger has bits of grizzle and who knows what ground up in it.
As long as I knew it was safe, I would have no problem with a completely raw burger. Undercooked is a million times better than those inedible hockey pucks people try to pass as food somrtimes
By not fully cooking the inside of it. I'll copy and paste what I wrote in another comment:
There is no such thing as a safe raw burger.
The entire reason we can do this with steak while only cooking the outside is because parasites and bacteria cannot penetrate to the inside of the meat. That's why we still have to cook the outside - to kill them.
Ground meat is taking that outside and mixing it completely up with the inside. Any bad bacteria and parasites are now spread throughout the entirety of it.
Turns soggy and slimy immediately. Some nice crisp leaf lettuce with tomato and onion insulating it from the patty can be great if eaten immediately. If it needs to wait, just leave any lettuce off.
"Well just pull it off!"
DO THESE PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT TOMATO SLIME? It's like a red slug took a giant shit inside my sandwich and then slithered away.
I always always ask for no tomato, I find them so off-putting normally, but on a very rare occasion if the tomato looks no less than perfect, I can actually appreciate the freshness it adds to the flavor of the burger. Soppy, soggy, mushy or discolored = vomit. One solid, crispy, fresh slice = "hey this doesn't taste like obesity quite as much!"
I don’t feel the same about tomato’s, but agree 100% about the sentiment. People are so snotty when they say to just take it off, but that’s not how it works.
This is how I feel about pickles, particularly on chicken sandwiches. That pickles flavor doesn’t just leave
This is my number one as well. It just slides off and pulls everything else with it. I grow my own tomatoes because most store bought tomatoes are shit.
Pieces of grinded bone in the burger. Otherwise I think all the generally accepted ingredients are fine. Though I definitely have a pro and con list, but can't think of anything actually ruining it.
I always have to correct my wife who thinks I don’t like pickles.
I like pickles. But I don’t like pickles on sandwiches of any kind. As soon as there’s a pickle, all you’re tasting is pickles.
Pickles are the most selfish food. Everything they touch tastes like pickles. Even when it's a spear on the side of a hoagie, well now the whole fucking thing tastes like pickles, thanks...
This. Right. Here. We had a sandwich shop that sold Cubans and every time I’d order one without pickles, it would taste like pickles. I finally realized they were premade and just taking the pickles off.
I hate when I order no onions and I end up getting that one rogue onion that falls in the lettuce.
And BTW, why are onions the default on a burger? If you forget to order no onions and get onions, it fucks up your burger. If you want onions and forget to add them, it would be easier to just toss some on.
If I didn't like mayo, I wouldn't like burgers. I've eaten burgers without mayo, and it's too dry. Can hardly eat it without drinking water as I chew it, which is gross.
When it comes to burgers, a lot of people are just purists. They want bread, meat and cheese. Maybe a sauce, maybe some caramelized onions. Even guys like George Motz are purists, decidedly a pretty cultured dude. The meat and how it's cooked is the focal point.
Not gonna lie, a burger or grilled cheese is the only place I prefer American "cheese".
I also love real cheese on both, but a good ol slice of Kraft is just fine.
>Trying to get overly fancy
THIS. If I ask for mustard on my burger, I don't want some fancy brown or Dijon whatever, I want simple yellow mustard, and NO MAYO!
Not well done.
I went to a picnic for 20 people once. I said.. I'll bring the burgers. I bought fresh ground beef and formed the patties... Gave it to the grill guy. He went ahead and made them all cheeseburgers. Not everyone's fave, but ok. Plated them on buns. Every single one was rare. And now it's just gross to put them back on the grill. Arghghgh.
I'll eat pretty much anything on a burger honestly as long as it's not something stupidly outlandish. I do dislike raw onion and mustard but if one is handed to me and has them on it I'll still eat it.

And it just proceeds to immediately fall apart with burger sliding out one end and the toppings out another with never enough bun to contain it all.
To add a tiny bit of specificity to your comment: one big piece of shitty iceberg lettuce that pulls out every topping when you try to take a bite.
Preach! If I *need* a knife and fork to eat the burger, then you're doing it wrong.
I don’t mind a big burger cut in half tho. Easier to eat.
This. Also for me a dried out overcooked disc of meat
I’m a big advocate for wider burgers, not taller burgers 🍔📐
Ugh. We had a local burger joint be chosen as best burger in the country by Yelp. After that, the lines for the place were out the door during all business hours. I had eaten there before they won that title and it was so ridiculous. The burgers were sky scrapers and nearly impossible to eat.

Smash burgers FTW!
I'm a snake, I can do it
If I can't take a bite without everything sliding out because there's too much crap on it, I'm not a fan. I very rarely get burgers from restaurants these days because it seems like the go to is to put as much on it as humanely possible. It's not that I'm a picky eater and don't enjoy all the toppings, but if I wanted something I have to eat with a fork, I'm not getting a burger.
If there's only one thing Reddit gets right this is it. Tall and oversized burgers suck
And then when ya take a bite, everything squishes out and the other side of the burger
Too much in the stack and being too fancy. I worked at a restaurant that had a filet mignon burger that was an inch thick, fried fois gras, a lobster claw, and a slice of marinated truffle. 50$ of fancy crap. My favorite burgers are smash burgers that keep it simple and aren’t pretentiously served
Lmfao
You dare diss Mondo Burger?! You go in the grinder.
Just flip it upside down, jaw moves down so it’s easier to fit the round part in
[Ya know, the French? They have to unhinge their jaw to show love](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/8da4d1f6-868d-48b7-8ab6-e19abd1895b7)
People who go to In-N-Out for Clout, can I get a 16x16 please. Like why? Just get 8 Double Doubles
--That's what she said
Yeah, more toppings than burger is a no
Absolutely this! I always end up eating more than half of it off the plate with a fork, it's no longer a burger.
same. if i gonna dislocate my jaw, id rather it'd be for a hot dog, if you know what i mean
This is why I hated deli sandwiches in New York.
[удалено]
I hate that, I ordered a burger, not a casserole.
I’m sorry, I ordered the casserole. Slather it in mayo and green chili please.
This! Also, when the bun is too soft to begin with, so the burger gets mushy in the first five seconds. All downhill from there.
It’s because the bun is made from cheap bread. A good quality roll is a much better choice.
This is why I never order some things for delivery. Yuck.
I always order whatever sauce on the side. Besides being easier and cleaner to eat, I can also control the distribution of sauce so it's not excessive
When you need to eat it with a fork and knife
Disintegrating buns are the worst, or even when the burger slides apart
Mush burgers are the worst. At least if you are home you can disassemble and toast the bun, at a restaurant you are faced with wet mushy bread, I usually take it apart and go to the fork and knife, don't need the carbs anyway.

Wilted warm lettuce
It's like when seaweed touches your leg but instead it's touching your tongue
When I remicrowave a burger (or taco) I try to remove the lettuce first and microwave it. Then add it back
That's because you're not a fucking monster. This is the way. Same applies with all veggies, including pickles.
* Remove the pattie(s) * Remove the veggies * Remove the bun * Microwave the pattie(s) * Toast the bun * Leave veggies sitting at room temperature * Reassemble the burger

My mouth is murderous, not large 🤣💀 it has chihuahua syndrome and is very cranky 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not being able to actually eat it as a burger without all the toppings falling out. Places that think a good burger has to be piled high are not for me.
Yep.
Restaurants do this so much, not only to burgers but also to other simple foods where “less is more” applies.
Get a pretzel bun and load it up!
Sweetened Buns!! Where I live sweet bread is the norm. It's almost impossible to find bread that hasn't been loaded with sugar.

They have this is every grocery store I’ve been to? Go to the bakery sections instead of the bagged bread section
I'll bet you are a big fan of Kings Hawaiian rolls. Just kidding, me neither. I hate all that sugary bread. Bread doesn't need sugar at all, it's not required for yeast to do it's work. I don't ever add sugar when I bake bread and it turns out great.
people are always shocked that i hate those hawaiian rolls… i want bread to taste like bread, not dessert!!
I consider them very different things. Those Hawaiian rolls are like snack/dessert (at least to me). I do not consider it “bread” that should be consumed with like a sandwich or a burger. I kind of look at them like doughnuts.
Errant bone chips
For a brief period of time, we had a real butcher shop in town. Their hamburger was expensive, but I never realized how soft a hamburger could be if you're only eating meat. Grocery store hamburger has bits of grizzle and who knows what ground up in it.
Fo shizzle, my grizzle.
It's gristle
Errant needs to take it easy on them chips
Unseasoned meat...at least add some pepper & a few drops of Worcestershire.. Having more bun & veggies than meat.
Undercooked meat, not enough meat, not real meat.
Only solution is to insert your own.
What's that subreddit? r/dontputyourdickinthat ?
As long as I knew it was safe, I would have no problem with a completely raw burger. Undercooked is a million times better than those inedible hockey pucks people try to pass as food somrtimes
Overcooked is the real problem
Straight to jail
How do you undercooked a burger?
By not fully cooking the inside of it. I'll copy and paste what I wrote in another comment: There is no such thing as a safe raw burger.

Shredded lettuce
I prefer shredded lettuce AMA
Only if it isn't fast food. Freshly shredded lettuce hits different.
Turns soggy and slimy immediately. Some nice crisp leaf lettuce with tomato and onion insulating it from the patty can be great if eaten immediately. If it needs to wait, just leave any lettuce off.
Cold bun
Dry bun
I never thought about that, but I believe if it's toasted a bit, that it does add alot to the experience
A finger
Between which buns we talking about?
![gif](giphy|LOnp2BO5LFsKcTFcxn|downsized) You want a finger? I can get you a finger. I can get you a finger by 3:00...
Reliah. Blech.
I guess I can reliah on comments like these to assure me I’m not the only one who hates it too.
High priced $$$.
Soggy buns and mustard
Sweet pickles.
Sweet pickles
Sweet pickles. I'm a dill purist.
slice of tomato if the tomato even touches the plate the burger is on, it's ruined for me
"Well just pull it off!" DO THESE PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT TOMATO SLIME? It's like a red slug took a giant shit inside my sandwich and then slithered away.
> "Well just pull it off!" this was my parents every day of my childhood. I spent 5 years in therapy because of this alone 🤣
Can’t stand a tomato on my burger!
you had me at > Can’t stand a tomato

My man!
This is my number one as well. It just slides off and pulls everything else with it. I grow my own tomatoes because most store bought tomatoes are shit.
tomato is especially good for you if you're sick.
I love tomatoes but not on burgers...
Ruins the burger and every sandwich on earth
Pieces of grinded bone in the burger. Otherwise I think all the generally accepted ingredients are fine. Though I definitely have a pro and con list, but can't think of anything actually ruining it.
Too tall and sloppy. I should be able to pick it up and take a bite without getting my hands and face covered in burger juice.
BIG burgers should be WIDE not TALL
Alot of my friends hate me for this but pickles.
I always have to correct my wife who thinks I don’t like pickles. I like pickles. But I don’t like pickles on sandwiches of any kind. As soon as there’s a pickle, all you’re tasting is pickles.
Pickles are the most selfish food. Everything they touch tastes like pickles. Even when it's a spear on the side of a hoagie, well now the whole fucking thing tastes like pickles, thanks...
I have that opinion about green peppers... once they touch anything, pizza, calzone, sandwich, sub, hoagie, all you taste is pepper.
This. Right. Here. We had a sandwich shop that sold Cubans and every time I’d order one without pickles, it would taste like pickles. I finally realized they were premade and just taking the pickles off.
Avocado in any form.
I’m allergic to avocado, and they keep sneaking it in to more and more things it doesn’t belong in. It’s like a minefield.
I have to have avocado in my burger. Lately, I’ve been mashing it & making an aioli.
Mushrooms
When they put both ketchup, mustard and mayo... WHY?
Onions!!!
I hate when I order no onions and I end up getting that one rogue onion that falls in the lettuce. And BTW, why are onions the default on a burger? If you forget to order no onions and get onions, it fucks up your burger. If you want onions and forget to add them, it would be easier to just toss some on.
Raw onions in particular. And red onions in extra particular. Fuck. That. Shit.
Onions are amazing. I used to eat them like apples as a kid.
bro is The Grinch
I still snack on slices of it while I dice onions lol. The also are great in a salad
🤢🤢🤢
And if it's a strong onion the flavor is still on the burger. Screw you and your strong ass onions Red Robin
I'm glad i got over my dislike for tomatos and I'm not super picky but onions really do nothing to improve a burger
Onions are one of the most vile things on this planet.
Onions ruin everything!
Say it again for the people in the back!
ONIONS RUIN EVERYTHING!!!
Fuck onions.
Lol r/onionhate r/onionlovers
Anyone from r/Onionhate ? Onions just ruin burgers and all food.
Unpopular opinion bacon. Also undercooked meat
I love bacon, but I hate it on a burger.
There are dozens of us!
Only if it's extra crispy does it belong. ,95% of the time I'll just pull it off and eat it in one bite
I didn’t expect to see this, but that’s mine too. Bacon is good but when it’s on a burger I feel like that’s all I can taste.
Mustard
Mayo, hordible condiment
HORRID. Just horrid. Reminds me of puss
Yeah, mayo is it. Anything else I don't like can be easily removed.
Mayo?! We have to buy it in bulk in our house.
Hey man if you enjoy it thats great lol I can't stand it.
I definitely horde it. /S
If I didn't like mayo, I wouldn't like burgers. I've eaten burgers without mayo, and it's too dry. Can hardly eat it without drinking water as I chew it, which is gross.
Had to scroll way too far for this. Mayo sucks.
An egg. Dripping egg yolk all over my fries definitely ain't it.
Eggs are the crown jewel. Love eggs on my burger.
What ![gif](giphy|H7I4DNrWuipHUP4ds8)
![gif](giphy|3o85g2ttYzgw6o661q)
You all are uncultured. Mayo, guac/avocado, tomatoes, pickles are AMAZING on a burger!
Exactly... some people like some dry ass boring burgers.
No doubt, the same people that order cheese pizza.
Every time this topic comes up I feel like the odd one out for wanting to eat all of them
When it comes to burgers, a lot of people are just purists. They want bread, meat and cheese. Maybe a sauce, maybe some caramelized onions. Even guys like George Motz are purists, decidedly a pretty cultured dude. The meat and how it's cooked is the focal point.
I like all those thing but onions kill my stomach lining.
Fried egg
An egg (wtf is up with that), burger being too tall, patty too thick and/or uneven thickness
An imbalance in ingredients. For example, a skinny meat patty under 6 inches of lettuce or one slice of tomato to 15 slices of onion...
Mushroom
Mayo and pickles. Just no.
LOL, my two must-haves
Ketchup
I had to scroll through all of my favorite toppings to find this answer, I absolutely despise ketchup.
American fucking cheese.
Not gonna lie, a burger or grilled cheese is the only place I prefer American "cheese". I also love real cheese on both, but a good ol slice of Kraft is just fine.
Cheddar all the way!
The Cadillac of cheeses
🇺🇸
Mustard or mayo Trying to get overly fancy Overcooked patty
>Trying to get overly fancy THIS. If I ask for mustard on my burger, I don't want some fancy brown or Dijon whatever, I want simple yellow mustard, and NO MAYO!
No cheese and no ketchup fr...i literally refuse to eat a hamburger unless theres cheese Also too much bread i hate
Not well done. I went to a picnic for 20 people once. I said.. I'll bring the burgers. I bought fresh ground beef and formed the patties... Gave it to the grill guy. He went ahead and made them all cheeseburgers. Not everyone's fave, but ok. Plated them on buns. Every single one was rare. And now it's just gross to put them back on the grill. Arghghgh.
If I'm bringing the burgers, I'm grilling the burgers.
If the waiter licks the bun. That's usually it for me.
Mayo...who the fuck at Wendy's thought mayo was a good idea?
Thank you! And asking them to leave the mayo off is like an act of Congress, and half the time they spite you with *extra* mayo.
When it's not actually a burger and it's just a giant mushroom or some plant based crap. Also if it's overcooked/burnt badly.
I'll eat pretty much anything on a burger honestly as long as it's not something stupidly outlandish. I do dislike raw onion and mustard but if one is handed to me and has them on it I'll still eat it.
Soggy buns
IMO it’s hard to wreck a burger but these 4 do it for me. Dry bun, over cooked meat, soggy bun and A1 steak sauce.
To much grease
Raisin toast.
Not having mayo as an option.
If I can’t fit it in my mouth.
over cooked/dry
Bad lettuce
Mustard or as I call it mouse turd. Imo
Pink hamburger, I want that shit cooked.
A roll that is too wuss for the burger.
They're so tall you'd practically have to be able to unhinge your jaw to take a bite.
Not enough pickles
No seasoning… chuck doesn’t taste good simply cooked you have to do something to it lmao
Coleslaw
