Burger dos and don’ts 🍔

Hot dogs are great…but on burgers? 🤔

BuzzFeed asked what does (and doesn’t) belong on burgers and it turns out 8% of us think tossing a hot dog or two on there is just fine by them…you do you, man!

Other highlights (lowlights?) from the poll:

Does ketchup belong on a burger?  Surprisingly, 11% said no…and a few other classics got the thumbs down, too! 32% wouldn’t put mustard on a burger, 26% said no to tomatoes, 24% don’t like pickles (including Dave!), 9% stay away from lettuce, 28% said hold the mayo and 62% keep their relish for their hot dogs.

Bacon?  Duh. 83% like it on a burger.

Grilled onions?  72% said yes and 55% think onion RINGS are an acceptable burger topping (as do we!).

Ranch dressing?  Just 30% said yes but 59% are cool with barbecue sauce.

Blue cheese?  67% would NOT put it on a burger.

Potato chips?  30% think that sounds good and 36% of us would pop some fries on it.

Avocado?  57% think it’s a good burger topping.

Jalapeños?  46% of us are into it.

Chili?  Only 24% said yes, maybe because it’s so messy.

Salsa?  76% said it DOESN’T belong on a burger.

Mac-and-cheese?  Only 18% would go for it.

Peanut butter?  11% said sure, why not.
