Yes I order my whooper with mustard ketchup and pickles only. Mayo is only good on certain specialty burgers with other meme toppings

Homemade ftw, always aioli

if the burger has no cheese and all of the vegetables mayo is customary
if the burger has cheese and no leafy vegetables mayo makes it too saturated and you should go for mustard instead
if the burger has all of the vegetables plus cheese you can do a little mayo and a little mustard because the greens break up the saturation
if you put ketchup on beef you are a child

Mayo is probably one of the biggest condiments you'll see recommended by any chef on a burger. Usually they have to do something else to it, usually adding ketchup, dijon, relish or pickles, fish sauce, and some spices like garlic, onion, paprika. It'll usually just get called a burger sauce at that point. Big Macs or In-n-out spread are examples of that.

Dipshit, that's garlic mayo.You fucking people that love to pretend everything

Mayo on a burger is primarily a lubricant to make chewing easier and more enjoyable.

Mayo is there to add richness. That's how you mask a cheap burger.
Funfact: the "charbroiled" flavor of the Whooper is actually liquid smoke.

>>14358552
He didnt say it wasnt mayo. He said thats that type of mayo the should go on burgers wou dumb dumb.

>>14358579
But then why do I see smoke coming out the top of bk

>>14358532
I like mayo on the burgers I make at home. Fast food burgers with mayo are too sloppy.

>>14358593
This. The amount of smoke and stank that comes out of BK, could only come from flame broiling. In the old days, you could actually see the burgers on the grill. God damn it, now I want a Whopper.

A very thin layer of mayo is nice

For me it's the seared bite burger

When I dine out, I order my burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and mayonnaise. When I make it at home, I use mustard, onion, and pickle since lettuce and tomatoes are a bit of a pain to keep on hand. I like to use dehydrated onion flakes and soak them in water overnight and drain. Pickles last years unopened and months once opened. Same with mustard. Buns and ground beef both freeze pretty well. If you live out in the boonies like I do, then making trips to the store is inconvenient (if not down-right impossible during certain parts of the year) and you've got to learn how to keep things. But when you dine out, it makes sense to have another go-to.

I prefer mayo on burgers. Cheese, mayo, onions, and pickles make the perfect burgers.

>>14358532
I'd rather have mayo than ketchup on burger

I usually get mayo at restaurants. At home, mayo mixed with shallots, brine, diced up pickles, pepper, and a little ketchup makes for a great burger sauce. I'll only put it on if the burger doesn't have cheese or another rich topping such as purple onion marmalade.

>mayo mixed with shallots, brine, diced up pickles, pepper, and a little ketchup
that sounds like a lot of work

Of course I do, mayo is the most versatile condiment for burgers and sandwiches and I prefer it over ketchup and mustard 9 times out of 10

Wendy's burgers also have mayo by default. It's pretty common I'd say, it's just not the McDonald's way which happens to be the biggest

achkually, real med aioli is literally just garlic, olive oil and salt but so many amerifats added eggs and lemon juice that a lot of people including legit chefs think it's the garlic mayo shit now so you sound like a hipster faggot for pointing it out

>>14358916
No anon... it doesn’t

i put mayo on hamburgers and hotdogs

>>14358916
Not quite as fancy as that but when I make burgers at home I make discount Big Mac sauce, while the burgers are cooking I just spoon some mayo, dill relish, and mustard into a small bowl and mix it up

Takes like one minute and washing a little bowl and spoon extra is worth it for a tasty sauce

>very thin
this is the key. most people don't realize that mayo is really something that should be used with restraint. you reach the point of diminishing returns very quickly

Mayo + hoisin sauce is the condiment of god. I put that shit on everything.
everything.

>>14358574
you'd know all about lubricated mayo wouldn't you faggot

>>14358532
I make a burger dressing with mayo and ketchup, sometimes I get really crazy and chop up an onion to top them off too.
