11 Condiments for Burgers

May  2, 2014

There are simple bun-and-patty burgers, the kind of burgers you squish down and eat in 3 bites -- and then there are burgers that you pile with as many things as possible. These are the burgers you eat with a beer and three napkins in your lap -- they're the ones that get so tall, so overfilled with toppings, that you wait until no one is looking to attempt that first gigantic bite. The great thing about them? No matter what combination of condiments you choose to pile on your patty, it still tastes like the best thing in the world.
