Do you build a better burger?

We had some frozen turkey burgers for lunch to day (I did cook them first) and I was watching the way we each built our burgers. To start with, I put mayo on one bun and then put mustard on the other. Anne puts mayo, then lettuce, then mustard all one one bun.
I use a thin dill pickle slice and put it right in the middle. She cuts hers up and gets a bite each time. She always uses onion and ketchup, I sometimes use onion, never ketchup.
So, I was wondering, are you fussy about the way you put a burger together? Is it always in the same order? How about your partner or other people you dine with? Have you ever noticed?

I put everything on one side and put it together. I like two pickle slices crossing over each other. I don't like mustard but I like ketchup. My fiance dresses both sides. He puts mustard on one side and ketchup on the other. He doesn't always take pickles but he has to have onions.

Do you eat lamb often? I love the flavor of lamb kebobs. (Not for burgers)

@JamesHxstatic Lamb is pretty expensive here although I love lamb chops. We seem to eat a lot of chicken and pork in various guises.

@JudyEv So do we actually. Lamb is expensive here, but I thought there was a lot where you live.

@JamesHxstatic There is one McDonald in the area and they serve the burger on a bun, but at home people serve the hamburger with vegetables, or French fries, on a dish, not in a bun.

Interesting. Perhaps it is not such a custom there.

I'm pretty boring. Bun + catsup + lettuce + turkey patty. But I like it that way.

The way you like it is what it's about.

I make the patties when we have ground beef burgers and use some breadcrumbs and Worcestershire sauce with some garlic powder and herbs.

One pickle sandwich slice is enough for me. Grilled onions would be really good.

We like to make them at home and rarely eat fast food burgers.

My first job was at Wendy's, and I was taught that with a good sandwich, you should taste every ingredient in every bite. The order was, mayo, ketchup, pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce, with mustard spread on the meat or cheese. No matter what ingredients the patron asked for, it had to be in that order. It kind of stuck. I like mayo, pickle, tomato, lettuce, and mustard on my cheese.

I was hoping that a former fast food burger person would respond. I may try that order, especially the mustard on the cheese. Thanks!

I used to dislike onions on my burgers but now I enjoy mayo and cheese on my burgers.

Same here, I did not eat raw onions for the first 60 years of my life.

I like them, but make only good old fashioned burgers myself.

Yes, but how do you stack them? Does your girlfriend build hers the same?

@JamesHxstatic - She pretty much does. Just the basics.

The one we had that day was from a store, frozen turkey patties. We also have beef burgers and there are frozen black bean burgers.

When I order I usually order the same. I like onions. My son doesn't, but we agree on the other condiments that go on it - pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and ketchup.

Do you do the same when you fix them at home?

@JamesHxstatic No. At home I typically just put ketchup and mustard on it, unless I really want to go all out, then I'll add pickles and onions, and if I want fancy, I'll make them grilled onions and grilled mushrooms. I don't do that very often though.
