Even more beloved than crab cakes, but with no less widespread opinions of what constitutes the pinnacle of the food, are hamburgers. Jam Faced takes a look at what constitutes the perfect burger, or at least, what makes a good one. He notes that Aussies like a slice of beetroot on theirs - something that is an excellent addition, in my opinion, though I'm not a fan of the stuff off of burgers - and some Brits insist that a fried egg must be layered onto theirs. I know plenty of people in LA who want either chili or the "secret sauce" from In-N-Out to top their burgers, and with the proliferation of "gourmet" burger joints, more people are asking for additions beyond cheese and bacon. I quite like the look of his own burger, which features a large mushroom and a couple of pickles (gherkins), as well as the patty, mustard, cheese and what appears to be bacon.
My only objection to this delicious presentation? I'm quite certain that it wouldn't fit in my mouth.

The brilliance of just a plain, simple bacon and cheese burger is you get to taste a good piece of hamburger cooked medium rare. The salty bacon flavour enhances the beef. Here, I can see only tasting the added flavours, including the pickles and mushroom. Silly!

the one above doesn't look one that i would really like.
