Once you learn to cook a burger (or steak) on the grill at home, you will never go back. I only go to these fancy burger joints when I'm on vacation or travelling. When I'm home, I prefer to go to my local butcher shop and get the best ground beef I can buy (most butcher shops will convert it into patties for you) and good quality buns (I prefer the potato bread buns and if you can make them yourself at home, even better).

I then saute jalapenos in olive oil while grilling the burgers and use that as a condiment as opposed to ketchup, relish, etc., which I think are nasty to have on burgers. I also add a slab of good quality swiss cheese and when I'm feeling particularly hungry, a slab of bacon as well. Forgot about the tomato slice and lettuce - they detract from the burger - unless it's August-September and you pulled the tomato fresh out of a garden.

I like an Anheim pepper seasoned with Olive Oil Salt and pepper.

Indeed. We only stop when we’re pretty much starving or to treat my daughter for an A on a test. My homemade burgers are preferred, but I can’t match a Sonic Happy Hour drink.

My wife stuffs burgers with jalapenos and cheese, wraps them in bacon, and grills them with sweet peppers and onions. The whole shebang goes onto a grilled buttered bun with a slab of Kellogg's Breakfast tomato straight from the garden. You might be able to smell them come August if the wind is blowing your way from the north. :-)
