Burger Night...What kind of toppings???

My daughter wants to have burger night. It used to be easy: lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, pickle, mayo and ketchup on a plain white hamburger bun. Now there's so many more options: teriyaki, bbq, ranch, spicy aiol sauce; mushrooms, bacon, avocado, caramelized onions, alfalfa sprouts, egg topping; jalapeno peppers, onion rings, kim chee; white/wheat, sesame, onion, sourdough, pretzel bun. I told my daughter we have to narrow it down. What is your perfect hamburger: toppings, sauces, bun??

@jim44444 Sourdough or brioche for me.

@NativeOregonian I like sourdough (especially homemade) but for a Hamburger I want whole wheat.

@jim44444 I tried a pretzel bun the last time and I liked the way it held up. But whole wheat is our go to bun. Love sour dough too!

@jim44444 I have a freeze dried packet of 1847 Oregon Trail sourdough granules I cannot wait to activate once I leave iowa, too much farm pollution to risk it.

@alohamom Never tried a pretzel bun, always wanted to though, not a fan of whole wheat.

@NativeOregonian Wow, that sounds so cool. Let me know how it turns out. Btw... pretzel buns are yummm! They have a slight pull to it and holds up well to all the fillings but isn't too hard and dry.

@alohamom It's very cool :D I wish I knew when I will be able to move to activate it, hopefully soon.

@alohamom I will have to try the pretzel bun next time I hit the local joint that offers them.
