What a fun topic! These days my favorite burgers are the Vegan Black Bean Burgers from Blue Moon Burgers. yummm!... I am already hungry.

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

HA HA HA 😄 I bet these burgers somehow always makes us hungry @Varsha Joshi !!

[Susan Waldrip]

Keepin' it simple, @Anwesha Pan (TCS) : a really good, high-quality burger with cheddar, lettuce and mustard. Mmmmmmm!

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

@Susan Waldrip I can really imagine 😍 and must-tard is must in some burgers! (Drooling) 🤤

[Amanda Barber]

Yum! Great Friday topic. My husband makes some amazing smashburgers at home which definitely rank high on my list. If going out, I love a burger with some unique toppings like an egg or an interesting aioli.

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

What's a smashburger by the way 😀 sounds interesting though @Amanda Barber 

aahh egg! I love that runny egg too in my burger 🙌

[Amanda Barber]

Smashburgers are very thin patties, literally smashed onto a flattop grill (like a Blackstone). Typically you have two or more of them stacked up. They get nice and crispy along the edges. Yum!

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

Hmmm, I will have to search for smashburgers near me now to try it out @Amanda Barber ! 😃

[Rishabh Jhawar]

Black bean burgers, vegan versions of the classic cheeseburgers, and absolutely local favorite veggie burgers from McDonald’s and Burger King.

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

oooohhh nice 😍 @Rishabh Jhawar 

my husband is an egg-e-tarian so i like to take a bite of black bean burger from his share 😂

I'm here for all things about food and music🤩🍔 Thank you @Anwesha Pan (TCS) 

Last year I was stuck eating and trying all different types of burgers, and I think I burned out from them, because I have long time not having one.

One thing I must point out is that I usually don't have fries as a side (I know, controversial). I enjoy just the burger, and in any case, I would rather chicken nuggets or wings instead, and even a hot dog while I'm waiting for the burger.😅 There's a meme for this:

I have several tops based on different criteria, lol:

These are my favs:

1. Yesterday I saw this recipe of a Korean-inspired burger made at Bert Kreischer's show, and I haven't tried it, and I already know that's my favorite 
2. In Madrid, there's a Smashburger place called Pink's. The simpler is the best one. 
3. In Dublin, my favorite burger place is called Bunsen. I gained a lot of weight from eating their basic burger. It's SO good!
4. Venezuelan street burgers are just too much, and I love them. Not the most healthy thing, but hot damn, those are GOOD. Check them out!

My fast food top:

1. Popeye's Chicken Sandwich.
2. McDonald's Happy Meal burger (without the "cheese"), the Quarter Pounder, and the Big Mac.
3. Wendy's Bacon Champion (without the bacon).
4. In-and-Out basic burger.

The ones I want to try: 

1. I'm very interested in trying Lotteria's burgers from South Korea.
2. Shake Shack.
3. I hear suggestions!

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

oohhh wow I got hungry reading your post... each and every one is so tempting, I will have to end up getting a burger with a side of wings today! LOL 😂

And looks like you are quite a traveler too @Huwen Arnone _Deiser_ 😍

Thanks for sharing! 

[Huwen Arnone _Deiser_]

If you do it, let me know how it goes @Anwesha Pan (TCS) 🤤

[Barbara Szczesniak]

Personally, I avoid burgers that are messy to eat. If it has a bunch of toppings that fall out when you take a bite or sauces that drip all over the place, it's not for me. My preference is for a moist, but cooked, burger topped with a mix of steak sauce and mayo.

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

HAHA I can imagine the way you described @Barbara Szczesniak 😂

You have a good preference! :)

Fan of most burger places, I tend to like mom and pop places vs the chains.

I do go by the assumption, "the local chain is never as good as the locals think it is."  Looking at you In & Out, Whataburger. etc...

[Anwesha Pan (TCS)]

I have never tried those places, may be someday sometime I will get to try them 😀

Thanks @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM for sharing :)

Delicious topic! :) One of the best burgers I've ever tried was in Poland. And it was a burger with duck. I like burgers when there is a lot of vegetables and lettuce.
