buncha mayo haters in here.

i get grossed out if there's too much but it only needs a little.

I am baffled at mayo haters, as if momma used to make terrible mayo burgers

Nearly every single fast food joint has a burger that uses mayo or a derivative of mayo except for McDonalds……

@Frank_Drebin nailed it. The same people who say they hate mayo pine for "secret sauces" that are just glorified Thousand Island dressings that are made up primarily of...mayo.

Mayo is the God condiment. Respect it or GTFO.

They're all disgusting.

Equally bad is the fake aolis that are just mayo plus stuff.

I actually don't mind a real garlic sauce that's just raw garlic whipped into olive oil until it's stiff (no egg white), or a fried egg on the burger, but keep anything based on mayo away from my burger or I'm sending it back.

Hot sauce is the only good American condiment. Good salsa and chimichurri are also acceptable. 1000 island is trash, ketchup is trash, yellow mustard is trash, pickle relish is trash, tartar sauce is trash.

I loathe fast food burgers. Only eat burgers if I made it myself or from a few trusted pubs.

It’s like we’re East Coast/West Coast brothers from another mother. Man….fuck mayo on a burger.

The correct amount of Dukes Mayo is a requirement.

Pickles are what fucks up a burger.

Strongly agree with 2 and three.

Cooking it til well done is a turn off.

What if its mayonnaise salsa

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I have two major gripes:

1. Overcooked, dry patty. A burger’s soul is its meat. Overcooking it into a hockey puck? Instant heartbreak.

2. Soggy bun. A once-golden, fluffy bun soaked in ketchup, mustard, or grease is a dealbreaker.

when the bun is way bigger than the patty that shit pisses me off

Mayonnaise

Soggy bread

I don't get why people put egg and breadcrumbs in their burger mix. Every time I try they get fucked up and the patties aren't nearly as good as just ground beef and spices.

Arguably the best burgers in America, in and out/five guys, use mayo/ derivatives in their burgers.

The best sauce in all of earth for chicken, chick fil a sauce, mostly mayonnaise.

Sit down burgers like islands/fantastic burgers, also use mayo.

100%.

I tried this. I remember Gordon Ramsay even gave a restaurant he helped with a hamburger recipe that called for this shit. I thought maybe I did it wrong, so I tried a bunch of different methods, and recipes, but there's no getting around it: it's a goddamn meatloaf on a bun minus the tomato sauce or ketchup. It's putrid. Ground beef doesn't need egg yolk as a "binder", ffs, it already has plenty of its own fat.
