Maybe I'm crazy... (No bacon on my burger)

I don't like bacon on my burgers. I used to get it all the time, but now I think it can actually overpower the beef or become the star of the show, and I don't like that. I'm fine with bacon in my burgers (as in minced or ground and mixed with the meat) but I'm over having bacon on my burgers. I'll have mine on the side :)

Exception: rodeo cheeseburger (bacon, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, onion rings)

What do you think? Bacon or no bacon?

Addition: this is not anti-bacon, I love bacon.... This is about preferring burgers without bacon

I agree with you on the bacon. I definitely like bacon, but it doesn't have to be in and on everything.

Here's something you might not agree with...I generally go for no cheese on the burger also.

American cheese! On occasion I'll go cheddar or blue or something else, but I am a cheese guy.

I don't do bacon on fast food burgers because most places have nasty bacon. Artificial smoke flavours , crappy texture, it definitely can ruin a burger. My homemade Bacon or good bacon from local polish deli is wicked good on a grilled burger

I'm due to make some more bacon...
 
Local Asian supermarket sells fresh pork belly for $3.67/lb. They get a kick out of me wondering in and buying 6-7 lbs of it, and then hitting the hot food counter for roasted pork.

I get this ...
 
My solution is to skip cheese when I use bacon ...
 
I make (P)BLT burgers when I want bacon - where the "P" stands for Clausen ;) :D ...
 
 
 
 
 
I like bacon on a home grilled burger only..because i can control how bacon is cooked.

I hate overdone brown crispy bacon or that precooked reheated junk from chain food vendors.


Give me a ham slice and an egg instead of bacon on a retail burger.
 
Touché and good points. After a little more consideration there is definitely a time and place for bacon on a burger. And I've had phenomenal bacon burgers.

If you couldn't tell, yesterday I had a bacon burger that was not good: bacon overpowered (not complimented) the burger, the bacon wasn't cooked right, had whole strips coming off the burger after the first bite.... all in all not the best experience.
 
I didn't know about this bacon controversy. A burger is a burger that can have bacon. I think lettuce and tomato is more polarizing.

I don't like lettuce on burgers because then the bun slides around and you end up holding a tiny island of bun with a ocean of meat left no matter how strategic you try to eat it.
