The horror!

[Chris in Central Ohio]

My better halves 10 yo son has ate his last Wagyu burger. I watched in horror as he topped this delectable, juicy, flavorful, med-rare gourmet pattie with like 5 tbsp of ketchup! I dont care how close you are to me, or how much I love you, but to drown a $8 burger in ketchup, doesn't sit well with this one. Time to pick up some frozen boxed pattie for him going forward, I just cant do it, lol!

I had a friend years ago and she would put A1 all over prime rib eyes. Never made her steak again.

Bad burger, but great use of depth of field on the photo!

Say it ain't so!

 

[JimK]

Horrific as it may be, that pic still made my mouth water.

Think of all the money you'll save buying those Bubba Burgers from here on out.

I let my family and friends enjoy it their way, not my way, lol.

Yep, can’t change some folks idea of what tastes good! My wife has me kill the poor cow twice! She also won’t eat lamb!

Over the years, my m-i-l has learned that I will happily microwave her beef to eradicate any hint of red, pink, or anything but grey...... I do love her dearly, so, while it pains me, I do it for her. I will not, however, force everyone else to eat overcooked beef!

PS: I also always have gravy on hand just for her, so she can eat her dried out pieces of steak, roast, etc.

Teach them young! It still looks great, though.

Chris, it could've been worse: he could've put that ketchup on a hot dog!

Although technically that's only a crime for people 12 years and older.

I refuse to get the ketchup out the fridge anytime I prepare a tubed meat. I will not be a part of such nonsense.

I have been telling my boys for years its insulting to the chef to use steak sauce on steaks or crackers in soup. They don't listen if I'm the chef.

What?

When the waitress asks me if I need A1 or Heinz 57, I usually respond that if I need those, I should probably order something different. Basic hamburgers, hot dogs, etc...... gotta have ketchup. There's no way I'd dress OP's burger without at least trying it first.

Nope. Im not spending $8 on a burger so it can be masked with ketchup. There is a reason George Motz says no ketchup on a burger. And Louis Lunch, the birthplace of the hamburger, prohibits it.

What and what amounts of dressings I put on a burger depend on what kind of burger, how it was made, who made it, and what other toppings (grilled onions, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, etc.) are on it. The one in the OP would get nothing.

This will open a can of worms and I'll probably regret asking, but who, if anyone, considers Miracle Whip acceptable?

Gimme a few minutes to go grab a beer and make some popcorn, this is gonna get crazy.....

I grew up on Miracle Whip. And I've learned to make mayonnaise from scratch. Big advantage to that is that I can flavor & season it how I want, and tailored to whatever I'm putting it on. Something like that would never have happened in the kitchen when I was growing up.

I remember when my Son's were that age, and whatever I cooked they always dosed it in ketchup or A1.
Now that they're adults, they try to school me in the same practices I tried with them, and that makes me kinda happy.

Same here, but over time it got to be too sweet for me and I switched to mayo. When I was little the only way I'd eat broccoli was if it had a nice coating of MW.

For hot dogs, brats, burgers, etc. I prefer nothing but mustard, and sometimes a little Secret Stadium Sauce.

 

[JKalchik]

I do know that my personal tastes are a little.... odd. I do not care for the taste of mustards in the least, and while I do enjoy the flavors of most vinegars, I don't care for pickles at all. Raw onions are also right out (and I'll clear the room shortly thereafter.)

Dont get me wrong, I love dressed burgers, and there is nothing wrong with loading up some 80/20 grocery store ground beef, but Wagyu has such a delicious beefy taste, I want to augment that taste, not mask it with ketchup, which is what too much ketchup will do. Im not telling people HOW to eat, rather, not going to spend $8 for a burger, and watch a 10 year old pour a 1/4 cup of ketchup on it! Its Bubba Burgers for him!
