Question

I’d welcome your suggestions Initial thoughts are:



- Quality of meat

- Flavour

- Sides (eg chips and/or salad)

- Establishment’s décor & ambience



Any others to add?

Answer 1

How it is cooked, ie: fried, flame broiled, charcoal grilled, etc.
Freshness of toppings (lousy tomato or bad fake cheese, can ruin a good burger)
Don't for get the bun, Kaiser, sesame seed, potato, and toasted or not.

Answer 2

the ULTIMATE hamburger! This burger has two versions, the big man version, and the light n' easy version....

BIG MAN:100 percent ground and lean meat, peppered with authentic spices and herbs, and a slight dash of ground fresh rosemary. I'd then get a sweet and toasty bun toasted to perfection with seaseme seeds peppered, then i'd cut and chop up fresh and watery lettuce and spread Cheddar cheese strips across it to make it even have a more zingy and spicy taste add spicy and hot buffalo sauce, and i'd add more melted parmesean cheese, then some vine ripe tomatoes, a second lean patty for a bigger burger, then a sprinkle of louisiana peppers to spice that burger up to it's maximum potenial.

LIGHT 'N EASY: A 100 percent fat free and lean turkey patty, conveyed and smothered in authentic breadings, and another dash of garlic, and calcium enhanced lettuce and fat free cheddar cheese, and also kaiser buns that are fat free and grilled over a mahogany plank to smoke the bun to a crisp perfection fit for a king! Also i'd add thousand isle dressing or ranch to give it alittle protein and flavor! and VOI LA! YOU HAVE TWO ULTIMATE BURGERS! I HOPE IT HELPED!
