Buns Sourdough Flavour complements all burgers superbly.
Brioche Good texture, can be too heavy.
Potato Bun Apparently the perfect burger bun; I am yet to try
Burger Patties Wagyu Superb A1 grade beef with perfectly marbled fat. Wagyu is for steak, but totally wasted in a minced meat pattie. Make your own beef/fat mince instead.
Chuck Cheaper off-cut of beef usually used for stewing, that just happens to have wonderful flavour and 40% fat. Makes excellent burger mince.
Scotch Fillet High grade cut of beef that has a high price tag... but only when it's cut into steaks. Whole scotch fillets can be found for less per kg than cheap mince. Then you can mince your own!
Cheese Monterey Jack Famous as the perfect burger cheese. Solid performer, but other flavours create exciting burgers...
Cheddar Good ol' tasty cheddar never lets you down.
Swiss Sweet cheeses like swiss melt well and subtley enhance other tangy flavors, like tomato...
Blue Some love it, some hate it. Harder to match the flavour to the other burger ingredients, but when you do, it's worth it.
Salads Spinach The most nutritious salad, but the softer leaves don't deliver the same crisp texture as lettuce.
Lettuce The crunch of iceberg lettuce in a burger has never been bettered.
Rocket Peppery leaves work with certain recipes, and blue cheese loves rocket.
Tomato Definitely a winner with bacon and cheese.
Onion Usually better caramelised, but a hint of sweet fresh onion can bring out other flavours nicely.
Avocado Can overpower your other flavours, but a little avo and lime juice goes superbly with bacon.
