Is putting mayonaise on a hamburger a lower class thing?

I mix ketchup and mayo, and it is so delicious that I do not care if OP thinks it’s low class. My lunch is awesome!

The perfect combo for dipping fries.

Mayo mixed with A1 sauce — plus either dill pickles or a few capers. I use this on turkey burgers, but it would probably be even better with ground beef burgers.

In college! I would order bacon cheeseburgers with mayonnaise and mushrooms. The mushrooms were sautéed with thyme (I think). They were delicious.

Turkey meat is dry, so perhaps mayo is justifiable. Beef is not dry, unless you overcook the burger.

Are we now suggesting ketchup and mustard are HIGH class? Good grief. Maybe it's more southern? Dh does it, I grew up in New England and did not. We also didn't have potato salads. We stuck to tuna fish, chicken, and seafood salad for our mayo salads.

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.

Sweetheart, Julia Child has been dead over over 21 years! Her TV cooking in the 1960s, 70s and 80s is not in any way relevant to modern grocery stores, modern tastes, and modern cuisine.

But good food is good food. Go back to your little tiktok trendy things. We are discussing mayonnaise on hamburgers. As grownups do.

Burgers were peasant blue collar food when Julia was on TV. The burger fad and professional and home chefs perfecting them didn’t happen until the 90s and 00s. Julia’s views are not relevant at all to this dialogue.

Julia and Jacques Pepin made burgers together and she put mayo, salt and pepper on hers along with butter on her bun. I’ll take her advice any day over an internet troll. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aaKM_cL4LfU&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD

I love Pepin but that video was extremely amateur compared to how far burger cooking has evolved and progressed. It almost seemed like they were mocking Americans and their love of burgers.

I think both ketchup and mayo are largely lower class condiments, especially for a burger. Mayo is permissible on leaner sandwiches, I suppose, like a turkey club. But totally unnecessary on a well cooked juicy burger.

Justifiable? Why should anyone have to justify how they like their burgers? Who do they justify these things with? Is there a supreme committee somewhere?

This discussion is reminding me of the time a young friend suggested that I try ranch dressing on my pizza. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but I had to admit that it was a tasty combination.

I’m suggesting that condiments aren’t meaningful class markers. They’re neutral. Eat what you want. Go for it.

I do this too! Best way to eat a burger.

Miracle whip, low class.
Mayo, high class.

I don’t get the allure if adding a fried egg on a burger. Now that’s just an odd combo.

I wonder if mayo and catsup would make a good meatloaf glaze!

I don’t know, but I recently learned that using mayo instead of butter on the outside of the bread makes great grilled cheese sandwiches.

I love Miracle Whip, though I don't use it on burgers. Sandwiches or mayo-based salads (tuna, egg, potato), yes. I love Velveeta on my cheeseburgers, though! (And in grilled cheese!)
