I recall vividly the burger place that came highly recommended by my sister and her then fiancée. They had eaten there on two previous occasions and they were particularly impressed by the quality of the buns that the burger place used. Sis and her SO are very aware of my appreciation for, as well of my critical attitude towards burgers. Suffice it to say, I was looking forward to trying a burger at this highly acclaimed joint.
So I reserved a table for one. I figured I should reduce distractions and go eat alone. I had to wait a couple of days, since the place was fully booked until Friday. When Friday evening came around, I was ready: I had made sure to eat only a light lunch and I had checked the menu beforehand so I knew exactly which burger I wanted (it was called the wrestler).
Service was great and the place had an atmosphere about it that fit wit a burger joint that takes its food seriously. Unfortunately, a guy at the table next to mine was being very loud which annoyed me. So I approached the waiter about this and he said not to let this man distract me from the fact that in 1998, the undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Ridiculous bread. Just put it on a straight forward bun,not a fucking brioche
Cruelty, violence, atrocity, etc.
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.
Lack of veggies, it needs lettuce and tomato at the very least
A man of culture!
Onions.
Patties that are tall instead of wide
Being too tall; I shouldn't have to unhinge my jaw to eat a burger.
After a certain height you're supposed to eat them with a knife and fork.
Ketchup
Pickles. I hate them in burgers, but fine when eaten with other food.
Ketchup. I don't like ketchup.
Pickles. I LOVE pickles but keep them away from my burgers
Cucumbers, especially fresh ones instead of pickles.
Too large to eat without cutlery. Double, triple etc. burgers are stupid.
Too large to eat
You're supposed to slice them first!
avocado/guacamole
We go out and eat at a nearby restaurant with the office once a week and it's always a highlight when they have a burger on the menu. But like half the time they ruin it by adding guacamole.
Overcooking. Most other things you can fix or cover but a charcoal lump burger is gon be one no matter how what you do.
I hate that I have to cook my wife's burgers like this. I have to grossly overcook chicken for her too.
Blue cheese gag.
Ciabatta or brioche bun.
Onion soup mix and crackers and eggs as binders.
But those are just my opinions, I’m not a big burger person.
Can't argue with an opinion of taste, but my absolute favorite burger happens to be a blackened burger with sauteed onions and blue cheese! lol
incorrect bun to burger ratio... too much, too little. there is a balance that must be achieved!
