Skip the mundane (ketchup, lettuce) and the overly fancy (brie, Kobe)

(Newser) Kevin Pang sent six months eating cheeseburgers, and he's sharing his hard-earned expertise with his fellow meat-eaters. From the Chicago Tribune:

  • Cheese: Just say no to feta, bleu, or brie.
  • Condiments: Skip the ketchup and mustard; head directly for the mayo.
  • Bun: Yes, there is a taste difference between toasted and untoasted. Opt for toasted, preferably buttered.

  • Toppings: Make sure to pair correctly—for example, bacon with American cheese or mushrooms with Swiss. Leave lettuce and tomatoes off entirely.
  • Fast food:: Steak ‘n Shake and Schoop’s tie for the best.
  • Chain restaurants:: Red Robin’s A1 Peppercorn style wins.
  • Kobe: The only thing this really means is that the burger will cost $5 more.
  • Fries: Go for the ones made in beef tallow, not duck fat.

This guy is doing it wrong. The best flavor combination for burger toppings, writes Kevin Pang, is bacon, onions, and cheese--and the lettuce and tomato just get in the way.

oh wow, could it be that it comes down to personal preference? you mean we can't simply have one right way to eat cheeseburgers? all this diversity, too confusing for the poor generalizers

Kevin Pang sent six months eating cheeseburgers? = Kevin Pang dead in six months due to high cholesterol RIP; he can also keep his useless list since I don't agree with it.

bleu cheese is awesome on burgers. However he did get the 'no lettuce' clause correct.
