Natch. ;)

I would also add that grilled onions can be an acceptable substitute, or addition, to raw onions. Also, ditto for a pretzel roll over plain white bun. And ketchup in moderation is allowed, and a slice of beefsteak tomato is fantastic.
I'll give you the grilled onions. Pretzel Roll? Not if it's this flavored dryish Wilford Brimley Deathstar. Buns are there to hold the burger, not add their own and they need to be soft. I'll allow the tomato as long as it doesn't cause sliding issues or is too thick and fks up the mouthfeel of the burger.
The proper pretzel roll is soft and the tomato slice is held in place by the melted cheese.

"Fast burger" In N Out will always be my favorite here, but since that's not an option for me now, Culver's is the place.

"Basic burger" as referred to as a "Midwest" burger. available at sit down type places I'm with you guys on the feels there. Basic bun, smashed fully cooked crispy edge patties, American cheese, raw onion, pickles, mustard, mayo.

"Creative fancy" burger...this is no holds barred creation, served at a bar or sit down type place. My favorite in the area here is at a former garage turned restaurant. Thick medium rare patty with pepper jack cheese, fried onion strings, over easy egg, srirachi aioli, pretzel bun. It's a messy disaster and I love every bite of it. I don't get these often, but when I do I only want that.

"Fancy burger" these are usually pushing $20 and served at fancy places. These are the medium rare waygu on artisanal brioche buns with hand crafted cheddar and locally sourced bibb lettuce, grandma's tomatos, etc, etc. I don't get these as often, but I certainly can appreciate a good one. These I usually get when I'm dragged somewhere :waxer: that I don't want to be at with a ridiculously priced menu. Not often, but more than I'd like.

Then there's category destroyers, these are just starting to emerge with fancy takes on basic burgers.

A few weeks ago we went to this :waxer: place and all I wanted was a burger. Menu said "beef patty, American cheese, onion, pickle, mustard". It was half the price of the next least expensive thing, still $10 :doe: order it medium rare and the waitress says the patties are thin and they only come well done. Fine, ordered. The thing came as the best basic "Midwest" burger I've ever had. Everything was done right, but the flavors were insane. No incredient was fancy that I could tell... basic bun, simple meat, etc. I mention this to the waitress about how surprised I was to find such a burger at a fancy place, and apparently the head chef is from Chicago and just wanted a simple burger on the menu as he remembered from his childhood. Another place by us is offering a fancy basic burger too and I love it. They're somehow better than a diner, but not particularly fancy.

I had a burger so good saturday that it made me sick from dairy overload. It had grilled cheese for buns...

:neat:
I can't do cheese unless its cheddar. Lactose intolerant, doe. Kind of funny, after years of not eating it, I don't really like it anymore.
Can you eat goat cheese? Goat milk is easy to digest so it's good for lactose intolerant so I wonder if goat cheese is the same. I wonder the same about sheep cheese.

Soft cheeses are bad. Hard/aged cheeses are generally ok in managed quantities. Cheddar has hardly any lactose in it because its aged.

Under $9 for a super premium burger. Fries not included.

:fatty:

Any burger that is going over $12 is too fucking :waxer: and by default cannot be in the best burger running.

Spot on classification of burger hierarchy. :bravo:

I fall stay on a hard line of "fast burger" -cheap and the "creative fancy" scale if out and that's their thing. I enjoy modern takes on burgers but still dont LOVE burgers. If I am eating out I'll go for food that I usually can't easily make myself. Burgers never really grab my attention.

Interesting. I agree with you on the going out for stuff you can't make yourself, but burgers are one of those things that I just haven't been able to master better than a bar for some reason.

I get burgers at steak houses because I can make a way better steak at home.
