Too many things in it.

Good burgers are simple. Bun, patty, maybe cheese, maybe onion, a little salad perhaps. And that's it.

Simple burgers really let the quality of the meat, the cooking, and the seasoning shine through. When that's good, you really don't need anything else.

When a burger is piled to the moon with bacon and guac and relish and six other toppings, you might as well have used the cheapest patty available because you can hardly taste it under all that.

    That's the beauty that is the frozen burger patty. I can toss them on a pan and melt a slice of cheese or two and then have the perfect vehicle for emptying my vegetable drawer and condiment shelf of leftovers.

    Or a fried egg, now that it is a delicacy.

    That's fair, I do that at home too - fried egg in a burger is great! At home I actually mostly use spicy veggie burgers rather than meat, done in the air fryer straight from the freezer.

    There's a time and a place for everything.

    But when I go out to a burger joint for some actual meat, simple and high quality is absolutely what I want :)

    Weird take. Sure, a quality burger's nice, but it's not pitching me over the moon. The beauty of the sandwich is the ability of adding toppings, and making a zesty burger that knocks your socks off with a cavalcade of flavors.

    If you like that patty so much, ditch the bun and have it straight. Basically, just eat a steak like you actually want to.
