Is putting mayonaise on a hamburger a lower class thing?

I am old money and I smother everything in mayo, including but not limited to my burgers.

I don't do hot dogs. My parents never let me eat them growing up because "they're made of lips and a$$holes".

Julia Child like mayo as a base for her burgers. She had some good tips for how to make a good hamburger. I personally like very good high fat ground beef on the grill, and then build it with a good melted cheese - maybe aged chedder, swiss, provolene, gouda - mayo at the bottom, then burger, add lettuce, a slice of summer tomato, sliced pickles, and mustard on the top bun. When its quality ingredients, that is a solid burger. So count me among among the lower class for my preferences.

DP. Ketchup and mayo plus pickle relish makes thousand island dressing, which is delicious with a beef burger. Mayo and mustard taste better on a turkey burger. I like a little hot sauce mixed with ketchup for my fries.

Anyone else want to add their condiment concoctions?

I feel the same about the German sausages my parents forced me to eat. They were the wurst.

They may not prepare them at home, but trust that they ate plenty at whatever grubby just-off-campus burger joint at their ivy.

You must be of the leisure class to have the time to care about these things.

And adding, don't forget to sprinkle the burger with good salt as it's cooking before you add the cheese.

Grey Poupon is amazing on a good burger.

Mayonnaise on a burger is what people who know about good burgers put on a burger. A brioche burger bun makes 0 sense; the bun needs to absorb some of that grease, not contribute to it.

PP is trying too hard. Burgers and hotdogs are eaten by all the millionaires at our country club pool and at the turn. And Nats infield season ticket holders are rich men and families gobbling down hotdogs.

lol, ok. Shouldn’t you be planning your sailing calendar, or figuring out who should be at your table at the next gala? Instead of engaging in this nonsense?

Why are you putting a sauce on meat? Don't you want the flavor of the meat? Doesn't sound like eating meat is for you.

This thread is really funny.

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

What does this response have to do with the PP's response? No one said anything about Shake Shack. (Which has a less tangy sauce than the Big Mac's.)

Any good German parent would give their brat wurst.
