Deciding what to have for dinner every night can get to be quite boring after a while. It's okay if we are on our own, then it's easy, we can just have whatever we are in the mood for. But most of us have someone else to consider when it comes to meal choices, either a housemate, partner, family members or children. It's not just about what we want, we have to think about their needs too.
So tonight we've decided to head out for burgers. Why? Because everyone loves a good burger and this way we get to decide exactly what we want to have and everyone else gets to do the same. We're going to visit a burger joint that allows their customers to build their meals from the bottom up, letting us choose everything from the bun to the sides. We're going to build our ultimate dream burger and we're already getting hungry just thinking about it!
In this Build-A-Burger quiz, all our readers need to do is decide what their best burger would look like and based on their answers we'll try to guess what their favorite funny movie is. Ready to see if we can get it right? Then let's build some burgers!
Sit down or take away?
What's for dinner tonight? Burgers, that's what. We are going to build ourselves the most amazing, hunger-busting burger ever, with all our favorite fillings, relishes, and sauces. And treat ourselves to a few sides too. But first we need to decide: are we going to sit down and eat this burger or get it as a takeaway?
Bun or something else?
Some folks prefer not to consume too many carbs and that means that things like bread buns are off the menu. They can choose an alternative for their burger, like maybe Portobello mushrooms, lettuce, or eggplant slices. Or they can just have the burger without a bun. What will it be?
Bread for the bun?
We've got another choice for those who decided to go with a bun for their burger. This restaurant even lets us choose what type of bread we want for our bun. Amazing right? What type of bread are we going to use for this incredible burger creation? It's time to decide.
Toast the bun?
Yes, there's one more question about the bun! Now that we've chosen the perfect bread to build our dream burger on we need to decide whether or not we want the bun to be toasted. A toasted bun is firmer so it holds it's fillings better and it has that awesome crunch.
Choose a patty:
Alright, now that we have the bun sorted out, it's time to move on to the centerpiece of this dream burger. We need to choose the main filling and the menu is crammed with different choices. There are all types of beef, chicken, fish, and veggie options; what will it be?
Grilled or fried?
This burger joint allows us to choose how we want our filling prepared. For a rib or beef patty, the best option might be the grill, if we are looking for that juicy, smoked flavor. Crumbed chicken patties on the other hand usually taste best when they've been deep fried.
How many patties?
When it comes to building this burger, all the choice belongs to us. We can choose whether we want it to be a single layer, a double, maybe even a triple! We might even want to name this creation after ourselves, it's going to be that good. How many patties for this burger?
Spicy and hot, or not?
Many people enjoy eating hot and spicy food and there are plenty of sauces and toppings that can be added to burgers to give them that little bit of zing. Whether it's chicken, beef, or something else, if we want this burger hot the kitchen can make it happen. Spicy and hot, or not?
Add lettuce?
There's actually a reason why lettuce is usually added to a burger. It's typically laid on top of the bottom bun to prevent the bun from absorbing moisture from the other fillings. But some folks prefer to leave it out and make space for other toppings. Will this burger begin with a few leaves of lettuce?
Add pickles?
Pickles are perfect as a snack, ideal as a party food, and they go well in salads, sandwiches, hotdogs, pizzas and yes, burgers. We get to decide exactly what goes onto this burger so we might even choose some extra pickles! Pick or pass on pickles as a filling for this dream burger:
Add tomato?
The next choice we need to make is whether or not we'd like a slice of juicy tomato on top of our patty. Some people don't like to eat tomatoes warm so they may choose to leave this one out of their burger. What will it be? Tomato slice or pass?
Add sliced olives?
Olives are not one of the most common burger toppings but it's surprising how much of a difference they make. They work well with cheese and pickles so perhaps we'll consider adding a few to this creation. There's a choice between green, stuffed, and black olives - who will have some?
Add a hashbrown?
Hashbrowns are usually served with breakfast but they also taste amazing in burgers and work well with both beef and chicken. They could even be used as a patty substitute for vegetarians as they hold their shape well. Go ahead and pick or pass on a hashbrown for this epic burger:
Add some seafood?
For those who really enjoy all the delights of the sea, perhaps a seafood mix is just what their dream burger needs. Think of it as a surf and turf burger. What kind of seafood we want is up to us, maybe some calamari rings or a little bit of shrimp?
Choose a cheese?
Now, what is a burger without a little bit of cheese? Okay, maybe a lot of cheese! There's just something about the combination of a juicy beef burger and a few slices of melted cheese that can't be beaten. We need to choose what type of cheese we want for this burger:
How about some extra cheese?
Okay, okay, maybe one cheese filling is not going to be enough. We are trying to build a dream burger here afterall and that type of creation surely deserves an extra slice. And besides, with all the choices on offer, how could we ever just go with one? Choose an extra cheese:
Add an egg?
Fried eggs are usually eaten at breakfast but they can be used in other dishes too. Steak, egg, and chips is a popular lunch choice, and they can be added to burgers as well. They taste great especially with cheddar cheese and add extra protein to the burger. Pick or pass on a fried egg:
Add onions?
Now when it comes to onions we can choose to add them or leave them out but we can also choose whether we'd prefer to have them raw (for the crunch) or whether the burger would be better with a layer of sweet caramelized onions. Pick or pass on this filling:
Add avo?
Wow! This burger is looking pretty epic so far! And we've only just started to add the toppings. Next up is avocado, a tasty addition to any burger. Avo also works well in salads, sandwiches, and pizzas and tastes amazing on a burger, especially with a mayonnaise-based sauce. Pick or pass?
Add jalapenos?
Okay so for those who wanted their burgers with a little bit of kick, here are some extra-spicy jalapenos. Just a few slices of this is sure to add a bite to the finished burger so we better make sure that we order an extra drink because we just might need it!
Add mushrooms?
Mushrooms work well with all types of different burger fillings but they are best with beef. They also taste amazing combined with crispy bacon and melted cheese. Cooked mushrooms work better on burgers and this place has some of the best mushrooms in town. Pick or pass on mushrooms for this epic burger:
Add grilled peppers?
Grilled peppers can be added to a wide variety of dishes and are even delicious to eat on their own. Not only do they add flavor to a burger but they add color too. Who would like a few slices of crispy grilled peppers on their burger tonight? Pick or pass?
Add spinach?
There are plenty of healthy options on the menu today for those who want them. Perhaps instead of lettuce (or even in addition to it), we'd like to add some spinach to this burger. Hey, at least it might make us feel just a little less guilty about all that cheese!
Add pineapple?
If we are thinking about building a tropical style burger we've got to have some pineapple in there. This type of burger will be perfect for eating at the beachfront, or just in front of the TV if the ocean isn't close by. Pick or pass on a pineapple slice for this burger:
Add bacon?
Now for those who chose to go with a meaty burger we've got another topping to decide on but don't worry, we think this will be a pretty easy choice to make. We need to decide whether or not we'd like a few slices of crispy bacon on our burger...
Add corn?
Some burger fans might be a little confused right now. Yes, that's right, we just asked if whether or not corn should be added to this burger. It might sound a little unusual but it adds a sweet bite to any burger and it adds a little extra color too. Pick or pass?
Add hummus?
Hummus is a dip or paste which is made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended together with tahini (ground sesame), olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic. It is used in a number of Middle Eastern dishes and can be used to add flavor to a burger. Who would like some hummus on their burger today?
Add mayo?
Mayonnaise can be used in hundreds of different dishes, from sandwiches and dips to salads and burgers. Some people feel that the only condiment that should ever be used on a burger is ketchup (and maybe mustard) but others feel a burger just isn't complete without a dollop of mayo. What will it be for this burger?
How about some basil?
Basil is very popular in Italian style dishes and it pair perfectly with tomato-based dishes. It also works well in salads or added to sandwiches and it's one of the key ingredients in the perfect pesto. Basil can also add extra flavor to a burger. Pick or pass on basil for this burger creation:
Add sundried tomatoes?
Sundried tomatoes are made by salting slices or chunks of tomato and leaving out in the sun to completely dry out. Once they've lost all their moisture they are perfect for adding to salads or using as a garnish and they work well on a burger too. Pick or pass?
Add some grilled eggplant?
For anyone wanting to add a few healthy toppings to their burger but also want something that will add flavor we can definitely recommend a slice of grilled eggplant. The great thing about eggplant is that it remains firm when baked so our burger won't fall apart while we are trying to eat it.
Add arugula?
Some folks call this salad leaf arugula and some call it rocket and it's known for its subtle peppery taste. It's ideal for sandwiches, works well with mayonnaise fillings and it's great for salads. Many burger fans also enjoy the flavor it gives to their favorite food. Pick or pass?
Add spring onion?
Just because we've already added onion or caramelized onion to our burger doesn't need that we can't add a little spring onion in too! Spring onion is a yummy addition to any salad, soup, or sandwiches and it's great on burgers too. Pick or pass on spring onion for this burger:
Choose a sauce for this unique burger:
Now that is what we call a burger! Now the last thing to do before we get busy munching on delicious creation is to decide what sauce we want on the top. What will round off this burger perfectly? Once we've added the sauce the only thing left to do is decide how we are going to eat this mammoth burger!
Choose some fries:
This restaurant doesn't just give their customers the ultimate control of building their dream burger but it also allows them to build their own meal and they've even got a choice between different types of fries. For those wanting to add fries to their meal they can choose between the following options:
Choose a sauce for the fries:
Now for those who decided to add fries to their meal, we have another choice for them. They've already chosen one type of sauce for their burger but now they have the chance to get another sauce for dipping their fries in. What type of sauce will be the best for fries?
Choose a side:
We've got the burger, we've chosen the sauces, and we've ordered the fries but now we are standing, looking at the menu, and wondering if perhaps we shouldn't add a few sides to this meal. We are pretty hungry and whatever we don't finish can always be eaten for lunch tomorrow. Choose a side:
Choose another side:
Okay, maybe one side just won't be enough. There are too many yummy choices on this menu to just go with one. Besides, everyone will probably want to share so maybe it's good to have a little bit extra. Go ahead and choose another side from the menu:
Pick a drink:
We are definitely going to need something to wash all this food down with so let's have a look at the drinks menu while we wait for our food to be prepared. They seem to have quite a selection so there should be something for everyone. Pick a drink to go with this burger meal:
Choose a dessert:
Wow, now that was quite a meal. We've eaten everything we ordered and it was everything we hoped it would be. But believe it or not, we still have a little space in our tummies so how about ordering a little dessert so that we can end the day on a sweet note?
