I'm with you. I love bacon, and I love burgers, but the two together never ends up being quite right. Too many times the bacon is either too crispy or too chewy, and it detracts from the burger.

I don't agree that it NEVER improves a hamburger, I've had plenty of burgers that were even more delicious due to the presence of bacon.

But I'll certainly concede that it doesn't ALWAYS improve a hamburger.

I've had many more with that I thought would have been better without. But I keep trying, because bacon.

Yeah, I haven't.  Not my experience at all.  Because bacon.

I was in Westerville, Oh recently for work and we tried out Flip Side one night for dinner. The menu probably has 20 burgers on it and the majority of them sounded damn good. I ended up ordering the French Flip. In addition to the burger, it consisted of:
Beer Braised short ribs, caramelized onions and jus, swiss cheese, roasted garlic and herb aioli.
It was damn good. Definitely a place I will keep on my list for the next time we are up there.

Crown and Anchor's jalapeno cheeseburger is one of the great joys in life.  When I was in undergrad, you could get a jalapeno cheeseburger combo with fries and a coke fr $3.25.  Of course I usually bought a pitcher of beer to go with it so...

Bacon overwhelms most things. I like it on its own or if it’s the main ingredient, like a BLT, but usually won’t add it to anything.

While most of these are probably fine....give me a Dan's double meat and cheese with fries.

I'll take the same with bacon, and onion rings or curly fries.

I'll add it to mac n cheese, deviled eggs, peas and beans of all sorts, club sandwich, and a lot of things. Not usually burgers "but I ain't agin' it".

I'm trying Maple & Motor for the first time on Friday.  I plan on getting a ridiculous burger.  We'll see how I feel since I'll be coming off a fast.

Double meat, 4x American cheese, bacon, grilled onions, fried egg (medium) + cheese tots

I'd normally get some grilled jalapenos on the burger, but peppers more than anything screw with my gut after a fast.

You could settle your jalap-scorched tummy tum with a 64-oz. Diet Coke.

The Shell station on the south side of Bellville (1216 Front St.) is in my top 3 lifetime. It's a shitty convenience store and they make zero effort to market it (instead of giving it a name it goes by "Shell Station Food Court), and there's like a 15-20 minute wait even if there is no line, but it's worth it.

So, our next DisneyWorld jaunt is next fall, and I just realized, I have never had a burger at Disney. All the meals I have eaten there, and not one single, solitary burger.

Any recs? I'm guessing the 50s themed diner in the Hollywood park is probably the best they've got?

Brazilian I'm dating told me corn is pretty common there. What is wrong with the rest of the world?

They also add corn and other interesting things like peas and parmesan cheese to their Brazilian hot dogs, which are delicious.

Mashed potatoes are a big part of many Brazilian hotdogs. Corn as already mentioned. I have eaten quite a few down there, but honestly, I prefer a Chicago style hotdog. It’s just overkill. And I hate mayonnaise and you have to make sure they don’t add that garbage. Each state in Brazil has their take on the hotdog. So far São Paulo’s version is the best I have had.

here’s how you do it.  first you wanna spread the pimento cheese on the bun.  don’t be shy, put a thick layer on there, both sides.  then microwave the dog for 20-25 seconds depending on your microwave.  take the dog out and slap it in the bun on top of that cheese, then return the bun/dog complex to the microwave and heat for about 10-15 more seconds.  then apply a liberal amount of mayonnaise all over the dog and finish with some relish.  if your erection lasts longer than four hours consult your doctor.

Eh, where else is she gonna find a great meal for less than $33 in NYC?  The fact that it's a burger is kind of irrelevant.  I'd rather have a great $33 burger than an average $50 steak.  Although, if she's anything like my wife, that logic probably won't register.

Well she is a woman, right.

Mayo on a hot dog?  Fuck that.

A buddy of mine lived in Indiana for about 5 years and apparently that entire state is slathered in mayo, based on the eating habits he developed.  We were grilling out shortly after they moved back, and he put mayo on a bratwurst.  And not just any bratwurst.  A brat from a locker that had just won gold at the Iowa State Fair.

I nearly stroked out.  Fucking mayo.

quarter pound big bite is an underrated dog.  you need three packets of mayo with it.  a racing stripe down each side of the bun and then one on top of the dog.  so fucking delicious.

Wait, what?? There are effing great meals under $33 all over NYC! Are we including the price of drinks or something?

Mayo only belongs on a BLT, Club Sammich, Meatloaf Sammich and maybe a couple of other things.

Hot dogs get yellow mustard, Dill relish and white onion.

Brats/other sausage gets spicy mustard and hot sauce (Crystal is my preference)

Burgers get yellow mustard, lots of black pepper, LTO, pickled japs and hot sauce (Louisiana is my preference)

They all get a bag of original Lays potato chips on the side

I'm sure Lando is a good guy but his opinions on restaraunting are a bit... snooty.

Mayo on a meatloaf sandwich? I like Mayo but that does not sound good. Meatloaf sandwich probably the only thing left I’d use ketchup on and it would be WB spicy ketchup.

Slaw is good on pulled pork.  I guess I could see it working on a burger.

On the topic of bacon, the most I've enjoyed bacon incorporated into a burger is at a place in Ames called Brick City.  Rather than use it for a topping, it's chopped up and mixed into the patty.  60% ground beef, 40% bacon.  That's how you add bacon to a burger.

and chopped beef

I've never tried it, but it makes sense.  Sounds like a good use for brisket leftovers next week (smoking brisket for Thanksgiving).

nope.  you want your bacon crispy and your burger rare.  your method fails both requirements.
