If you haven't tried it, you can't say it's mediocre.   That's my point. Sane for Tim. Your takes are hilarious.

Again, I may have tried it and i have tried other burgers with stuff mixed in. I stand by my statement. They don't need it and are better without it. You do you though. Enjoy your onion burger.

Sure. This is just one screenshot. Be call me wrong.

I love meatloaf.

I love burgers cooked plain with salt and pepper.

I love burgers cooked with some seasoning on them.

I love burgers cooked with some finely chopped onion in them.

You guys debate whether it's "meatloaf" or not, I'm going to fill my face.

LOL this debate.... meatloaf has a lot more than just seasoning, usually it has some sort of bread or breadcrumbs mixed into the meat (beyond just seasoning) that makes it a "loaf" like a loaf of bread because there's bread in it...  Meat with just seasoning is still a meat patty and hence a burger.

Someone can prove me wrong.

I love meatloaf and meatloaf sandwiches, but it's not the same as adding onion seasoning to a burger. 

Those lipton onion packs are good though, I usually use it with roasted potatoes.

Meatloaf is just meatballs in a different shape.

[cramx3]

Meatloaf is just meatballs in a different shape.

As an Italian, this is offensive  but yeah, not too far off.  Different seasonings and shape. But if you go to a supermarket, they usually have a meatloaf/meatlball mix of ground beef and pork together to buy. 

[King Postwhore]

My brother used to tell my mom at a teenager, that her meatballs tasted like her meatloaf and called them, loafballs.

[Chino]

Meatloaf has breading in it, either bread crumb or panko, as well as milk/cream, eggs, and a variety of other things. Whereas burgers typically do not. It's a totally different mouth feel.

A proper meatloaf is an event.

I had Shake Shake recently.  For $30 CAD, I felt I needed to report a crime.  The burger was passable, the shake ok, and the fries were straight up McCain crinkle cut.  I'll never eat there again.

Their fries suck, but a burger and a vanilla malt is a top notch combo for me.

Vanilla or Strawberry and yeah, that combo is great. I don't remember the last time I had them though.

Lately my go to fastfood burger place is Smashburger. Their smoked bacon brisket burger is great

They're good, but the only location I know of is across the street from Staples Center (where the LA Kings play), and I don't get up there often.

Well, you're right, I think. 

I defer to the resident knife chucker, but I think burgers, meatballs and meatloaf are, technically, different.

Burger:  meat and seasonings
Meatballs: a meat blend (beef and pork, maybe veal if you're adventurous), breadcrumbs, and seasonings
Meatloaf: beef, breadcrumbs, egg, seasoning; some people put bacon strips on the top for the pork flavorings. 

[cramx3]

I put egg in my meatballs and also may put them in a burger meat or while not common for me, just put a egg on top of the burger.

I think you have rank here, Marc.  I'm a Polack who learned what he learned about cooking from his Hungarian grandmother!

I'll take a meatloaf. Hold the beef, breadcrumbs, and bacon strips on top.

My mom's a polack so I've got it in me too.

I have The Sopranos cookbook and use their recipe for my sunday sauce and meatballs (pictured this week in the food thread).  I'm not an expert (and we have at least one expert here), but have put a great deal of effort into being a better cook since the pandemic.  I've got like 6 or so cookbooks now and my gf is big on social media chefs. I even watch Gordon Ramsay these days and I never cared for any cooking show before.  New season of Next Level Chef just started.

My mom was Lebanese and my dad Irish.  Better not mess with me.

Seasoned hamburgers are NOT meatloaf.

My wife likes to mix steak seasonings into the meat before throwing a patty on the grill. Is that a meatloaf??? The idea of seasoning the meat and having that be the line where it becomes meatloaf is ludicrous.

[TAC]

Seasoning is one thing, like if you put salt on it or something, but soup mix?? Yeah, you're making meatloaf patties.

Indeed.

Also, the burgers that were being referenced are NOT fucking meatloaf.

[Indiscipline]

^ And they are not fucking meatloaf because meatloaf, despite being willing to do anything for love, won't do that.

But would you eat one by the dashboard light?  That would be paradise.

I don't know. Let me sleep on it.

I had a random article show up today that Bobby Flay (celebrity chef for those who live under a rock) says burgers only need salt and pepper. Of all the things for Google to track me and latch onto... Thanks DTF

[Jamesman42]

He's not wrong.

[King Postwhore]

If you compliment with Chef condiments that he can procure then I get it.

[jammindude]

Just told my wife about this conversation. She reminded me that she often will just chop up a sweet onion and mix it in with the hamburger before making patties.

No soup mix. Just chopped sweet onions.

Still meatloaf? 

[King Postwhore]

Nope. Tim is Brain fucked.
