A new study has found that hamburgers are becoming more and more popular worldwide. In France, usually known for more glamorous dishes, burgers are even now one of the most-served foods. About 75 percent of food establishments now have at least one hamburger (aka “le burger”) on their menus. If you're looking for a Sacramento burger, what kind of toppings do you prefer?
Eggs
I love a runny fried egg on my burger, but only sitting at the top, so the yolk breaks and the bun can absorb the goodness. Cant go wrong with a fried egg, bacon, and A1 on a burger.
Guacamole
I mean, the fact that avocados are what is standing between me and home ownership should make them rank far, far lower on this list. I should really despise avocados for what they’ve allegedly done to my savings. But I can’t do that to this dreamy and creamy topping; they really are great on burgers! They add a nice butteriness and do the heavy lifting if cheese or mayonnaise aren’t quite cutting it. I guess I’ll just never own property in this lifetime.
Bleu Cheese
Fabulous grilled bleu cheese burgers, with ground beef, mustard, garlic, green onions, and tangy creamy bleu cheese. ... They aren't as pretty as a stuffed cheese burger, but you'll get a great dose of tangy blue cheese flavor with every bite.
Chiles
Here is a pro tip from a California girl: ask for chopped chiles on your In-N-Out burger… or any really at any burger place where chopped chiles are available (lookin' at you, most of Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona) The result is magical; the tang and spice cut through the heaviness of a cheesy double-double and leaves you wanting more. Not only is spicy food some of the best food, it’s supposedly good for you to eat hot peppers. Whether it’s jalapeños, pepperoncinis, or green chiles, throw some tongue-tingling peppers on your burgers and spice up your life.
Bacon
Bacon — the trend that refuses to die — has become so commonplace on restaurant menus that it's almost standard. Almost. Just under half of the burgers analyzed featured bacon, and chains are getting pickier with the type of bacon they use: Most often menus denote if bacon is hickory- or applewood-smoked.
Pickles
Pickles are a sacred ingredient. The juice is amazing as a chaser for shots, the spears are some of the best salty snacks ever, and a classic burger just feels incomplete without slices of pickles snuggled under a cheese blanket like Spongebob’s Krabby Patties. If you take into consideration the vast world of other pickled things that would be great on burgers -- like kimchi -- then it’s safe to understand why pickles are a top 5 contender in this burger topping ranking.
Crispy Onions
Onions are one of the greatest, most versatile burger topping. Chopped and raw, they add a spicy and needed kick among the oiliness of beef patties, gooey cheese, and chili. Caramelized onions provide a sweet depth alongside heavier garlic aiolis. Fried onion strips just plain taste good, and it seems mandatory that barbecue burgers include onion rings. Onions do it all -- and they deserve to be lauded as one of the best toppings for burgers.
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Nobody is surprised that sharp cheddar cheese is the best burger topping. The yellow squares of dairy are to burgers what peanut butter is to jelly: a perfect culinary partner. Would you like cheese on your burger? The answer should always be yes.
