I’m not giving up the Miracle Whip. Mayo is tasteless, gross and slimy. Miracle Whip is tangy delicious and not slimy. But I do agree, a hamburger is indeed a ketchup delivery system. And also a mushroom delivery system, but not at the same time as ketchup. Miracle Whip can be used with both but mayo can’t.

Sacrilege. Mustard on meat.
FRENCH FRIES are a ketchup deliery system. It’s why Chick-fil-a waffle fries are so awesome. All the waffling creates lots of ketchup-holding goodness.
But mustard on the burger. If you want something else, cheese and bacon.
If you really want to try something good...
Get some fresh ground lean pork and make that into large patties. I use a adjustable burger press and make patties about 1/2” thick.
Freeze them on a greased cookie sheet.
The pork burger has to be frozen when you put them on the charcoal grill. If they aren’t frozen they will stick on the grill and fall apart when you try to flip them. Trust me, frozen works best.
Mix some hickory chunks with the charcoal to get the hickory flavor. The hickory is a big part of what makes them so good.
Salt and pepper the burger and melt a slice of provolone on it just before it comes off the grill.
While your burger is cooking.... butter and garlic the bun(onion buns are great) and toast them on the grill.
Add a thick slice of tomato and slather it with Mayo.
Enjoy the best burger you’ve had in years.
