Perfect toppings

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.
My friend, you sure sound like a man who can put down a burger!
 
Pizza: Sliced meatballs.

Burger: Good ol American cheese, grilled onions, yellow mustard, extra pickles. Fried egg if you’re being adventurous.

Dog: Meatsauce, diced onion, yellow mustard, shaved pickle (as they do in Yesterdog in Grand Rapids).

I guess I like yellow mustard and pickles.

Burger: American cheese, tomato, hamburger relish
Pizza: Spinach, mushrooms
 
Pickles on their own, I’m ok with. Not the biggest fan.

Pickles on burgers, meh. Definitely not pickles on pizza.

Don’t even get me started on tomatoes.

I'm a purist.
Hamburgers: Cheddar, American or Swiss, ketchup.
Hot dogs: Very light ketchup, don't want it squirting out when I take a bite. If I eat in the car (hot dogs are the easiest thing to eat while driving) I get them plain.
Pizza: Pepperoni.

Onions and I have a mutual agreement -- I don't eat them, they don't screw up my digestion.
I don't like mustard in any way, shape or form. Nor pickles.
 
Hamburger: Cheddar, dill pickles (sweet can go to hell), lettuce, onions, a tangy/spicy barbecue sauce
Hot dog: coarse brown mustard, ketchup and relish
Pizza: pepperoni, sausage and peppers
Burrito: give me hot sauce I can pour as I go
 
Where I lived in Pennsylvania, pretzel roll sandwiches were a thing — a very good thing, too.
 
BURGER: Ketchup, mustard, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, big ol' slice of tomato.
HOT DOG: Onions atop mustard (so if the onions fall off they're less likely to stain my clothes)
PIZZA: Sausage and onions (though I am learning as I age that I'm acquiring my dad's tendency to struggle to digest processed pork products)
 
I like toasted buns, but it isn’t a must. A good bit of bread is what I require. It being toasted or not doesn’t change my mind on the burger unless I get sourdough.

As for meat, a big, juicy piece of bed to bite into is very satisfying.
 
Burger:
With cheese: ketchup, tomato, onion, pickle
Without cheese: Ketchup, mayo, tomato

Hot dog: ketchup

Pizza: pepperoni, green pepper, Roma tomatoes.

Mustard: belongs in the trash. Do not even bring it in my house.

On the other hand, I will eat tomatoes on damned near anything. Picked up a big thing of grape tomatoes at the store that I may just eat plain while I prep meals.
 
Buns toasted for the hamburger?

do you guys prefer a thick Patty? Or something like a smash burger?
Thick patty, grilled. You can get the outside of the burger a little crusty while the inside stays a bit juicy.

And since being diagnosed as a Type II diabetic, it was surprising to me how little I missed the buns on hamburgers or hot dogs. Lettuce wrap or just with the toppings we've mentioned works just fine.
 
Hamburger - grilled onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup and relish.

Hot Dog - mustard, relish, onion. Incidentally this is “une toute garnie” in Montreal which expressly excludes ketchup as a possibility. I don’t mind a little slaw or fresh kraut as well.

Pizza - black olives, sweet onion, extra hot capicollo
