That IS a tasty burger!
I’m not giving up the Miracle Whip. Mayo is tasteless, gross and slimy. Miracle Whip is tangy delicious and not slimy. But I do agree, a hamburger is indeed a ketchup delivery system. And also a mushroom delivery system, but not at the same time as ketchup. Miracle Whip can be used with both but mayo can’t.

Sacrilege. Mustard on meat.
FRENCH FRIES are a ketchup deliery system. Its why Chick-fil-a waffle fries are so awesome. All the waffling creates lots of ketchup-holding goodness.
But mustard on the burger. If you want something else, cheese and bacon.
I think you and I could get along. Though on pre-cooking burger prep, Ill make the case for Worchestershire sauce plus salt and pepper.

Whataburger comes with the mustard, it is obligatory.
The spicy ketchup? that is for the awesome fries, but hey.. if the two should meet...
I may have missed it in the article but now with the huge marketing push by FAKE Meat producers ,in another year you will be lucky to find 100% US Beef at any of the chains.
And I am not talking about the pink goo they put in ground beef, I am talking about purely 100% FAKE meat substitute that is trying to replace beef protein. A lab grown non meat protein. It even can be cooked to different tastes. You like yours medium rare, it will simulate it by being pink in the middle and oozing out fake juice.
Support the beef industry, demand REAL Beef every time you purchase a burger.
If you really want to try something good...
Get some fresh ground lean pork and make that into large patties. I use a adjustable burger press and make patties about 1/2” thick.
Freeze them on a greased cookie sheet.
The pork burger has to be frozen when you put them on the charcoal grill. If they aren’t frozen they will stick on the grill and fall apart when you try to flip them. Trust me, frozen works best.
Mix some hickory chunks with the charcoal to get the hickory flavor. The hickory is a big part of what makes them so good.
Salt and pepper the burger and melt a slice of provolone on it just before it comes off the grill.
While your burger is cooking.... butter and garlic the bun(onion buns are great) and toast them on the grill.
Add a thick slice of tomato and slather it with Mayo.
Enjoy the best burger you’ve had in years.
Cheese, any cheese, is yuck!
Why ruin food with a square piece of yellow slime or any other cheese?
Which, incidentally, is the same stuff used to make the best MAID-RITES. I am a burger guy too, but will eat honest-to-God maid-rites and not feel remorse. "Sloppy joes" - ugh - are not the same thing as maid-rites.
“Whataburger”
My fast food go to Burger
Will have to.
“Support the beef industry, demand REAL Beef every time you purchase a burger.”
I’ve got an even better idea. Rather than supporting Global Corporate Factory farms that clamor for ever more illegal “immigrants”, pump their cows full of hormones and antibiotics so that they can live in their own filth, only to be finally injected with pink slime. Lets all try some LOCAL meat from local farms and slaughterhouses. Don’t know if it’s available/convenient for everyone, but if it is, let’s support local businesses that don’t torture their cows & poison their meat and employ Americans.
First, the meat should be 80/20 lean to fat ratio.

Had to Google Maid-Rite; being a Texan Im not familiar with the brand. Appears their locations are concentrated in the upper Midwest? Anyway, when I want a store-bought burger I usually go to a local hole in the wall eatery named conveniently Moms believe it or not. About quick food franchise burgers; a few weeks back I was at Discount Tire having tires rotated and it was about lunch time. Theres a IHOP next door so decided to go have lunch while waiting. Guess I had their IHOB commercials on the brain si I ordered their burger. Have to say it was very good. And, side note, so were the fries. Anyway, feeling like Wimpy in Popeye cartoons. Showing my age, lol....
Elect Kavanaugh, the sure way to protect an American legend, the HAMBURGER!!!
Every Fast Food chain burger tastes like cardboard. Even the local Mom & Pop chain has gone that way.
Used to get juicy, fat-flowing-down-your-arm burgers taht was a meal enough for a half a day.
Now they are just plain crappy frozen dry patties that get microwaved..............................
