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

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.

Tell me you know nothing about cooking without telling me you know nothing about cooking.

Julia Child had classic recipes that never go out of style.

The classiest people mix mayo and catsup in a bowl to smother on their burger, and use the leftover mayo/catsup concoction as a dipper for their fries. They also use the spelling "catsup" for America's favorite tomato based condiment.

Calling something "rich" when it means fatty is affected.

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".


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


Any good German parent would give their brat wurst.


+1 Don't knock wurst unless you've tried it.

no, but putting mustard on a hamburger is something those of us from the tri state area do not do, rightly!

No, I don't think so. However, it is something that I personally do not care for.

I don’t add mayo to my burgers but will eat Shake Shack and In-n-out burgers with their sauce. My anti-mayo DH asks them to hold it.

Interestingly, I did grow up putting mayo on my hotdog buns.

Mayo or no mayo, burgers should be wider not taller.

That's funny. Whatever you call it, a well-cooked juicy modern burger with good meat on a rich bun does not need it. Those dry overcooked hockey puck burgers in the 80s and 90s, sure, they probably needed some mayo.

Mayo is delicious. Go away.
