Nothing like a good controversy to stir up participation! Anyone notice the "active users in the past 24 hours" has been way higher in the past couple days? Maybe I should start a pretender thread every once in a while.

I actually like the BK burgers (sans mayo) too.
But I can take most any burger patty and turn it into a culinary delight (for me) by simply adding a non-offensive bun, French's mustard, and about a half dozen jalapeno slices.

jalepenos on a burger? that's just nuts. as much as i love the hot, it doesn't belong on a burger. you know, the BEST burgers i ever had were courtesy of donald trump. yes i went and splurged once on his top of the line meat selection-steaks and burgers-incredibly expen$ive, but i was curious to, just once, have THE BEST.
and, i must admit, the burgers were that. not as much with the steaks tho'...

And then for dessert, Cold Stone Ghirardelli chocolate ice cream with cake bits, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate syrup mixed in. Oh god. Oh, you know what's up. Yes indeed.

I just started sweating reading that. I've started putting guac on my burgers. Awesome.

At restaurants I'll ask for avocado too, not guac. But at home I am too lazy to cut it up.......

The best burger I've ever had, believe it or not, was at a restaurant owned and operated by an Amish family. It was 1 lb. of meat, not too juicy and not to dry, cooked medium well with the inside still a little pink. Melted cheddar and goat cheese on top and then nestled on lightly toasted homemade bread, which was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Condiments included homemade ketchup, generic yellow mustard and mayonnaise, and then homegrown tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and dill pickles. I literally cried when this restaurant closed.

I wouldn't call six jalapeno slices too sweat-worthy...you should see this sick burger (though it was lamb, not of the beef nature) that these Tibetans I knew put together. Burns a new layer into your esophagus.

"To get something positive from destructive behavior, you can present yourself as a cautionary tale, as when Gary Busey warns against drug abuse, or Gary Busey warns against terrorizing herds of sheep with your giant horse teeth. The other option: glorify your appetites, a la BurgerBeast.com. So-named by his equally admiring and appalled wife, the Beast roams the Miami area and beyond, unapologetically ravishing red meat from Burger King to Ortanique, then posting his thoughts and digital pics for all to admire and be appalled by. Reviews offer choice wisdom like, “Turns out I ordered from their low-carb menu. After I got over my stupidity, I thought, they have some nerve...” (Hooters); “They asked if I wanted double meat, without hesitation I said yes, I love meat” (Char-Hut); and, regarding Kingdom's 1.5lb "Doomsday": “It really does look so beautiful I don't want to eat it but I'll make the sacrifice”. To honor the "camaraderie of the burger quest", he has a revolving cast of characters join him in giving Top 5 picks: ringleader Beast champions Keg South's 3/4-pounder (w/ cheddar and mayo); conspicuously svelte Juan loves La Moon's Crazy Moon Burger; and Mike, who is huge, reps the Double Bacon Cheese from Petro Truck Stop's Iron Skillet -- but on a more populist note, reaffirms that McD's Double Quarter Pounder w/ cheese is the crack of fast food (yet sadly, naked women do not prepare them in the back).
Beyond reviews there's also industry news, with notes on trends from as far away as Japan, and fast food marketing ploys from as far back as 1987 -- when Burger King unveiled slider-sized Burger Bundles, recently rechristened Burger Shots in an effort to gain positive traction from your nightly habit of gulping down your destruction.
