Burgers are a classic food that have been around for a really long time. Where exactly they were invented and by whom is something that has been a topic of debate for a long time but honestly, who cares when they were invented or who did it?

What goes on the perfect burger? Build the one and we'll reveal who's book smart and who's street smart!

Question 1

What kind of bun?

Every good house needs a quality foundation. Although a burger is a meal and not a house, they still need a good foundation to rest on. That foundation comes from the perfect bun! When it comes to burgers, there are a ton of different bun options from the classic sesame seed to a more unique one like a black charcoal bun.

Question 2

Toast the bun?

Once you've picked your perfect bun, it's almost time to start building that perfect burger! But there are a few more steps that can help to really make it the best burger possible. One of them is whether or not you want to toast the bun that it goes on. Toasting it can add an extra bit of crispness and flavor.

Question 3

Who's making it?

Everyone knows someone who makes the best burgers they've ever had. Whether it's themselves, a certain restaurant, or someone else, there's always someone in a person's life who is really good at grilling up the most delicious, flavorful burgers. Who's going to be grilling this one up?

Question 4

Pick a patty.

One of the most important parts of a burger is the patty that goes on it. Whether it's a classic made of ground beef or it's something more adventurous or even something vegetarian, it just wouldn't be a burger if there wasn't some kind of patty between the two buns and underneath all the toppings! Which of these patties sounds perfect?

Question 5

One patty or two?

Although sticking one patty on a burger is a totally great choice, some people with a bigger appetite prefer to stick another one between those buns and make it a double hamburger. There are some situations in which less is more but there are also some when having an extra big burger is too tasty to pass up.

Question 6

Pick a cheese.

One of the most basic toppings for any burger is cheese! Because there are so many different types of cheese in the world, the options for the kind of cheese to stick on a burger if you want to make it a cheeseburger are seriously endless. Every different kind of cheese has a different flavor so it's important to pick a good one!

Question 7

More cheese?

For the most part, when people decide to make a cheeseburger, they toss one slice of their favorite kind of cheese onto it and let it get all melted and delicious while the burger finally gets those finishing touches while it's cooking. But for people who really like cheese, adding an extra slice onto their burger can take it to the next level.

Question 8

Add tomato slices?

With the bun, patty, and cheese picked out, it's time to get to the fun toppings! There are a ton of different options for toppings but one of the classics that a lot of people like to put on their burger is a slice of tomato. These juicy vegetables add some flavor and a different texture in between their buns.

Question 9

Add onions?

Although onions are definitely not for everyone, they're still a topping that gets added to burgers pretty often and a lot of people enjoy them. For people who like to add some crispy, sweet onion slices to their burger, the tears they shed while they're cutting them up to toss on top of their patty is totally worth it.

Question 10

Add lettuce?

Some people love to load their burger up with all the fresh, crispy vegetables they can get their hands on to really add some different flavors. Other people prefer to keep their burger light on the vegetables and leave those to their salad. When it comes to lettuce, there are a few options to choose from like iceberg, romaine, and arugula among others.

Question 11

Add some pickle slices?

Pickle slices are another super popular ingredient for burgers. Pickles add an extra flavor to the burger and add a nice crunch among the juicy patty and the gooey, melted cheese. For people who like to add pickles, the flavor is a perfect addition to their burger. But there are some people who prefer to avoid them entirely!

Question 12

Add a slice of avocado?

Avocado has been everywhere in the past few years. From avocado toast to avocado pudding, it's obvious that avocados aren't just good for guacamole anymore. Just about every food gets a slice of creamy, delicious avocado put on it these days. Some people even like to put a slice on their burger!

Question 13

Add jalapeños?

Even though the burger patty itself can be really flavorful and delicious, the toppings that go onto a burger make it even better. Burgers can be super customized to the flavors and toppings that the person who is eating it wants. Some people even like to add a little spice by putting on some jalapeño slices.

Question 14

Add mushrooms?

Mushrooms are a super popular ingredient in a lot of different foods. They show up in different sauces and can be put on pizzas and yes, they can even be put on a burger. For people who like the flavor of mushrooms, cooking some up and putting them on top of their burger adds a delicious new flavor and can really bring out the flavors of the other toppings.

Question 15

Add grilled peppers?

Bell peppers have a deliciously sweet and fresh flavor and bring a lot of bright colors to any dish that they're included in. They're delicious to eat raw with dip like hummus or ranch but they're also really good grilled. As long as you're making a burger on the grill, why not toss on a few slices of peppers and grill them up to put on the burger too?

Question 16

Add pico de gallo?

Pico de gallo is similar to salsa except that it has less liquid than salsa and is more of a mix of chopped up vegetables like tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro. Because it has less liquid than salsa usually has, it can be used as salsa or it can also be used as a topping for foods like tacos or burgers.

Question 17

Add spinach?

Spinach isn't just for green smoothies and other super healthy meals! Spinach is a vegetable that has a lot of health benefits like the fact that it's high in fiber, has a variety of different vitamins that people need to stay healthy, and several plant compounds that help different aspects of a person's health.

Question 18

Add grilled pineapple?

Although whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza is a huge debate among food lovers, the fact that this juicy fruit is pretty delicious and adds a lot of sweet flavor to the things it's added to. Some people even like to grill up a slice of pineapple and add it onto their burger in order to give it more flavor and a whole new texture.

Question 19

Add relish?

When it comes to food fresh off the grill, relish is typically associated with hot dogs. But who said it can't go on a burger?

The most common version of relish that people think of putting on their food off the grill is the cucumber relish that goes on hot dogs - or in this case, burgers.

Question 20

Add a fried egg?

Although fried eggs are normally found on the breakfast table next to a warm, fluffy plate of pancakes and pile of crispy bacon, they're also pretty delicious during other meals too. Some people like to fry up an egg and lay it on top of their burger between the buns and give it some more flavor.

Question 21

Add Doritos?

When it comes to burger toppings, so many of them are chewy and soft. Melty cheese and the burger patty aren't exactly adding a lot of crunch to the burger. In order to keep it delicious with a lot of different textures and flavors, adding something crunchy like a handful of Doritos can take your burger to the next level. Plus, there are so many flavors to choose from!

Question 22

Add potato chips?

Sometimes, you just want to add some crunch to your burger without adding a lot of extra flavor. Potato chips do have a deliciously savory flavor but they classic kind don't have so much flavor on them that they take away from the rest of the flavors on your burger while still giving a good crunchy bite.

Question 23

Add onion rings?

We all know that onion rings are a delicious side option for burgers, right? These deep fried rings are too tasty to resist and go great on the side of any burger or as a greasy snack when you really want to treat yourself. Although they're great on the side of a burger, they can also be pretty delicious inside them too.

Question 24

Add French fries?

French fries are delicious strips of fried potato goodness and they come as a side dish with burgers and other sandwiches all the time at restaurants.

Question 25

Add bacon?

Bacon is everywhere these days. It's no longer just a breakfast food and it comes on just about every food and in every form we could imagine. It comes wrapped around other foods, dipped in chocolate, and there's even novelty items like bacon-scented soap or bacon-shaped bandages. Some people even put it on their burgers!

Question 26

Add chili?

Chili is a delicious, spicy stew that is made up of meat, beans, tomatoes, chili peppers, and other ingredients, depending on the recipe that the person uses.

Question 27

Add caramelized onions?

Although a slice of raw onion typically goes on a burger, cooking them up to really bring out their flavor and change the texture is pretty delicious too. Caramelized onions are onion slices that have been cooked in a frying pan until they turn a little translucent and get that delicious, crispy brown coating around some of the edges.

Question 28

Add guacamole?

Guacamole is a delicious dip made from avocado that is perfect for dipping chips, adding to the top of a plate of gooey, cheesy nachos, or adding to a taco.
