What all do you like putting on your burgers?

My favorite "burger" is the grilled shrimp burger at a NYC chain. They add spicy coleslaw, avocado, pickles and perhaps more spicy sauce on the "patty" of grilled shrimp.
Actually, guacamole or avocado is a must on any "burger" I eat. I'll probably consider it when I cross the fried chicken threshold again too (almost there.
)
If I still ate red meat, I'd definitely put grilled spinach and onions on the burger. The last burger I ate had these and I am still thinking about it decades later.

I am going to London on the 12th for a couple of days before I catch my flight from Heathrow and I'm really interested in visiting that restaurant you're talking about. Would you happen to remember the name or the location? I'm a huge fan of good (non-McDonald's-tasting) burgers

Don't remember the name( it's been about 10 years) but it was attached to a Marriott hotel.
I’ve made homemade lamb and mint burgers tonight so will probably enjoy with lettuce, cheese, deli mustard and ketchup.
Burgers consist of:
Lamb mince
Smoked Paprika
Cumin
Oregano
Salt n Pepper
Breadcrumbs
Beaten egg
Mint sauce

The best burger has nothing on it.
That's right: a nothing-burger.

There is a place nearby that makes a killer burger - my new favorite. It's topped with pepper jelly and Thai peanut sauce. Amazing!
I like my hamburger--if home made--with lettuce, pickles, a big slice of tomato and a little ketchup.
No mayo or mustard?

This sounds amazing.
Blue cheese dressing (I love everything to do with blue cheese) would also attract me as a possible dressing on a burger.
That would be the famous black and blue burger. Bacon and Bleu cheese.
Mayonnaise is for a regular sandwich, and mustard is for hot dogs. My suggestion works great for hamburgers of the homemade variety.
Well, I have been known to put mayo, and mustard (sweet), and ketchup on burgers......and yes, blue cheese dressing would also appeal....
But, hey, I am not from the United States.....
I usually have lentil burgers or bean burgers although once in a great while I'll eat an Angus burger. i put on diced sauteed onion, mustard, ketchup, dill relish, a splash of worcestershire (Lea and Perrins, yes) some Vermont cheddar and serve on a lightly broiled kaiser roll with some lettuce. By time I have all that put together I feel like I should have been paid to assemble it..
Ah, thanks for the explanation - given that I am from Across The Pond, (and have never visited the United States) there are culinary (and cultural) peculiarities in that society and country that I have never, ever, heard of.
We have pretty eclectic tastes, consume a wide range of foods, but for some things, I really like to keep it simple.
I'm definitely a burger purist: nicely sourced beef, not too lean, cooked just right, not pressed/pattied too tight (ground beef needs to _breath_), really good bun and cheese. If the burger itself has the right amount of fat, it should be sitting on a nice dollop of mayo on the bottom bun, so all that delicious juice mixes into a fatty, delicious greasy mayonnaise
No steak sauce, no BBQ sauce, nothing done to the meat except for salt and pepper. Fresh toppings from the standards
