Perfect toppings

[Splendid Splinter]

When it comes to a Hamburger, Hot Dog, and Pizza, what are the perfect toppings for each?

Hamburger:

American cheddar cheese, diced green bell peppers, diced raw onion, mayo, pickles

Hot dog:

Raw onion, sliced of American cheddar cheese, mayo

Pizza:

Pepperoni, raw onions

Not a big fan of the mayo, especially on the hot dog. Swap that out for mustard.

On pizza? Sausage and onions always were my favorite toppings. Mushrooms if they're freshly cut, not canned.

A perfect hot dog has chopped onions, mustard and dill relish on it.

Hamburger - has to have grilled onions

Hot Dog - sweet relish,

Pizza- sausage and mushrooms

Burger: ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, raw onion.

Pizza: pepperoni and mushroom OR prosciutto and kalamata olives.

Hot dog: mustard.

 

[jackfinarelli]

Burger: Salt, pepper, grilled onions, lettuce and mustard (preferably Dijon style)

Hot dog: sauerkraut and yellow mustard

Pizza: Sausage, green pepper, onion and a mixture of mozzarella and chevre as the cheese.

I'll do sauerkraut on a polish sausage or bratwurst, but for some reason it doesn't go as well on a simple hot dog. Not sure why that is.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Hot dog: Mustard and onions.
Burger: American cheese, ketchup, mustard, onions.
Pizza: Fennel sausage (only if fresh; **** that precooked noise) and onions.

I just had some sauerkraut in a Rueben; love that stuff. Sauerkraut on a dog or a bratwurst is one of my favs.

Missing from a lot of great suggestions above:

Hamburger: add chili

Hot dog: add chili

Pizza: all the meats!

This reminds me of one of my all time favorite book titles by Lewis Grizzard:

Chili Dawgs Always Bark At Night

Bacon on pizza is underrated.

So is extra cheese, provided they give you a defibrillator and a month’s supply of Lipitor.

I don’t understand the appeal of kraut or cole slaw.

I believe Gaffigan says [paraphrasing] "bacon is great on everything"; which I endorse.

Mustard and raw onions on dogs.

Cheese and ketchup on burgers.

Pizza is a different ballgame.

We're a bacon-and-ham pizza family. Feels a little less gluttonous than going full Meat Lover's or other iterations.

Agree with others on grilled onions w/ burgers. At Five Guys I'm always in for grilled onions, lettuce and A1 sauce.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

I used to get A1 at Five Guys. But it made the bun way too messy.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato,
Heinz Fifty-seven and French fried potatoes.
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer
For my cheeseburger in paradise?

Hot dog - I like Chicago style but mustard (brown, or hot), onions and a little relish is standard. I put the mustard on the side of the bun, not on top.

Burger version one - Ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, and if it's cheese, American. Patty must be well-seasoned. Not too big.

Burger version two - Bacon, peanut butter, hot sauce. You're welcome. It works.

Thin-crust pizza - good cheese, preferably a blend of nuttier ones, and, if any meat, pep, but no real meat necessary. Maybe roasted cauliflower or onions, just a little. Top with hot sauce or flakes. Crust and bake style is star.

Typical pub - sausage, olive, onion, maybe pep. Baked well.

NY style - Pep with grease tilted so it goes over the slice,

Thick-crust - Sausage

There's a burger place near me that uses a combo Angus beef-ground bacon patty, with peanut butter, jalapeno jelly, bacon and white cheddar. It is super good.

There is a bacon food truck in Boston (of course) that occasionally puts a bacon/brisket burger on the menu and it's the best burger I've had.

I'd eat that.

Totally random, but have you tried this place?
