Is putting mayonaise on a hamburger a lower class thing?

I hope you didn’t eat it on a bun! 😳

Acidity from a little mustard and pickles is really all a rich burger needs. Onions, tomato and lettuce if you want, I guess. I genuinely don't understand how mayo elevates a burger in any way.

Asking because we ordered an office lunch and all the burgers arrived with a mayo-based sauce on them as standard. Uh, why?!

Actually, mayo is the thing right now for people who know. Soon it will be trendy as well. Then you will be eating iton your precious trendy buns. I, on the other hand, will have moved on as I circulate with the crowd that makes the trendy things "trendy".

Literally had a good truck guy act offended I didn't want mayo on my burger the other day. He asked me what I wanted and I didn't realize mayo was standard. I agreed to it since it was his food truck, and it was good.

Separately, I always thought mayo on burgers was classier than mustard and ketchup....

I like mayo with ketchup and mustard on my burger. I also douse it in Tabasco. I guess I’m a super low life.

My thoughts exactly! I grew up in UC circles and LOVE mayo on everything. My husband laughs at how much I use. I'm slimcholesterol problems, problems, so why not.

Well, now I want a burger. The best part is the lettuce, mayo, tomato, pickle, mustard, ketchup.

Shack Shack’s standard sauce isn’t spicy. It’s just a Big Mac style mayo sauce.

If she was a true snob she would look down her nose and people who don't put lettuce and tomato on a burger. I mean, just burger, mustard and pickle screams McDonald's.

Acidity from mustard and pickle compliments rich meat and a rich buttery bun. Sugar from ketchup and oil from mayo is pointlessly gluttonous. Mayo is for dry sandwiches, I guess? Who serves dry burgers in 2025? Maybe if your drunk uncle was manning the grill in the 80s at a backyard bbq. But good restaurants and upscale fast casual in 2025 have their burgers dialed in to be juicy. Same for any half-decent cook at home buying good beef and good buns.

When I have a hamburger, I put a tbs of miracle whip and a tablespoon of ketchup on my plate and dip and swipe my burger through them. It tastes amazing!

I married into old money and they do not eat burgers or hotdogs. Sorry to burst your bubble.

OP has too much time on their hands. Lobster were considered trash fish by the British. Now they're luxury dining. Just eat what you like.

Exactly, because being picky and having all these wierd food things is super high class. (Total sarcasm). Could you imagine any Royal having these stupid nit-picking things. NO. 'Don't complain, don't explain'
