1. Patty Slips Out
Several burger lovers say one of the most frustrating things that can happen when eating a burger is when the patty slips out. This often occurs when the burger is too greasy, or the toppings are too heavy. However, if the burger is assembled correctly and the patty is cooked and seasoned well, it won't happen.
2. Watery Old Lettuce
Many people say lettuce is a common topping on burgers, but using old or watery lettuce can ruin the entire burger. Fresh, crisp lettuce to add texture and flavor to the burger makes it worth it. Wilted hot lettuce is equally nasty.
3. Wet Untoasted Bun
The bun is an essential part of the burger, and a wet or untoasted bun can ruin the burger experience. A wet bun can make the burger soggy, while an untoasted bun can make it feel unappetizing. People love it when the bun is fresh and toasted for added flavor.
4. When They Cost $20+
Another connoisseur said that a good burger should not cost a fortune. When a burger costs $20 or more, it can ruin the entire experience. A burger is a simple, classic dish that should not be overpriced.
5. Talking While Eating
A bunch of individuals wrote that when you talk while eating, you are not thoroughly enjoying the flavors and textures of the burger. It's ideal to savor each bite and enjoy the experience.
6. Excess BBQ Sauce
While BBQ sauce can be a great addition to a burger, too much can ruin the entire dish. The sauce can overpower the flavors of the meat and other toppings, making the burger taste unbalanced.
7. Pickles
Pickles can be a great addition to a burger, but they can also devastate the eating. When pickles are too sour or too large, they can overpower the flavors of the meat and other toppings. Using pickles sparingly to enhance the taste of the burger is good, not destroy it.
8. Skipping Seasoning
Seasoning is essential when making a good burger. Someone added that skipping the seasoning can leave the meat bland and unappetizing. Seasoning the meat with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance the burger's flavor makes it super delicious.
9. Using Low-Quality Meat
Another person commented that using low-quality meat can wreck the entire burger. The meat should be fresh, high-quality, and adequately ground to make a good burger.
10. Blue Cheese
Blue cheese is a popular choice for burger toppings but must be used in moderation. While it can add a delicious tanginess to your burger, it can also easily overpower the taste of the meat and other toppings. The intense flavor of blue cheese can be a turn-off for those who are not a fan of its pungent taste.
