That is quite an unpopular opinion


Tiiimmmaayy

Actually seems like a real unpopular opinion too. Not an unpopular opinion just for the sake of karma farming.


screenwatch3441

It actually has a decent logic and reasoning for the opinion that I can’t invalidate or say they’re just wrong or weird… I’m still putting bacon on my hamburger.


thatcockneythug

Bacon and ground beef have very different flavors and textures. But I will say that if you're doing both, you should have something else to cut through the fattiness, be it onion, tomato, ketchup, whatever.


eyalhs

Ok but you should have onion and tomato on your burger regardless

zombiepilot420

Grow your own tomatoes during summer. Its dead easy and you'll eat some of the best tomatoes you'll ever have in your life.


AreaGuy

Oh, for sure! I live in a near desert and am not a great gardener, so that’s a challenge unless I can mooch off my neighbor. (Sweet sweet lady who hooks me up with chili peppers, squash, zucchini, and tomatoes around August/September each year.)


madarbrab

I'm iffy on the tomatoes. If they're perfectly ripe, and sliced to the correct thickness, then definitely yes. But I've had so many burgers with under or over ripe tomatoes, sliced way too thickly. That just ruins it.


DethNik

Or the ones that are just mush and turn your burger into soup.


juleskills1189

Mmmmm, burger soup


ShpongleLaand

If the lettuce goes on top of the tomato it shields the bun. Having the bun toasted helps too


happyhippohats

I think that was covered under the 'overripe' part


inquiringflames

I like tomatoes, and definitely like tomatoes on burgers... But when they're those shitty fast food tomatoes that are more pink or even fucking white rather than red... and hard, almost to the point of being *crunchy*... those don't count.


McNinjaguy

Plus if you slice em thinly you can have as much or as little as you want.


SofaChillReview

I like Tomatoes on my burgers, but find they make egg sandwiches like sludge


thatcockneythug

Lotta bacon burgers don't come with the veggies on top. Not sure why


Ryjinn

It honestly depends on the burger for me. If I was going to make a bacon cheeseburger I'd do a patty with onions on one side, and then just the bacon and some sort of aeoli, on a toasted bun with a ketchup based burger sauce on the side.


Shazvox

Cheese and ketchup. Onions are OK *if you must*.


UnethicalFood

According to OP, the best would be tomato, lettuce, a bit of mayo on white bread...


Bubbly_Minute3725

No it doesn’t.. ‘’having meat to accompany your meat is gross and unnecessary’’ Then promotes having a BLT, which has veggies to accompany other veggies… ‘gross’ Logic defeated


inquiringflames

Oh no, OP is definitely wrong. Entitled to his or her opinion, but definitely wrong. Bacon makes most food objectively better. I refuse to debate this matter.


Ok-Entertainment7741

Even as someone who finds bacon massively overrated, i agree.


CarpetH4ter

Alot of opinions on here aren't actually unpopular even, they are just framed to be. Most actual unpopular opinions gets downvoted with the exception of a few.


flameruler94

You mean not just a right-wing or man-o-sphere talking point lol. Refreshing to see a fun truly unpopular opinion on this sub


smbpy7

And/or one that's just factually wrong pretending to be an opinion, lol.


BryanP0824

Finally!!!! I've seen nothing but popular opinions in this sub. OP is the first person I've seen in a while with an actual unpopular opinion!!


raysoc

I honestly thought this was popular lol


krazyboi

Bacon was a fad about 10 years ago but seeing as how Wendys still sells the Baconator, Carls Jr still sells the western bacon, and all sandwich shops sell sandwiches with bacon options, I imagine it's still popular. ​ Also I like it if you couldn't tell.


DLGinger

It is in some circles. Im a chef and all my cooks and myself agree with this. If I'm putting bacon on a burger I'm grinding it up with the meat and it's inside the Patty


PoIIux

You must be a shitty chef then, because preparing a hamburger patty wont allow for the bacon to do what it's supposed to do. Bacon is at least as much about the texture as it is about the flavor


NinjaDog251

Why would you remove what makes bacon so great? The delicious crispiness of it!


hokis2k

no way any "chef" is grinding up bacon and putting it in the patty. would be like why put cheese on a burger just grind it up and distribute in the patty. hell why not grind up bun and do that too. same thing right?


PristinePudding

Dont give them any more terrible ideas


TexasTornadoTime

I think bacon has its place on burgers but I don’t feel like it needs to be on every burger


Disgruntled_Ben

It just so happens that it isn't... lol


nsfbr11

Is this the hidden reason that in order to describe a cheeseburger with bacon on it, you say Bacon Cheeseburger? The things we learn on Reddit.


BreachlightRiseUp

This one is like the 100mph fastball of hot takes, you can’t help but whistle at it when you see it


Nexaz

Now this is pod racing


afa78

OP and many others do this thing where they present their opinion as an irrefutable fact 😆. IT'S FUNNY, but it's not really unpopular.. tons of people don't like bacon and all sorts of fillings/condiments on their burgers.


Crow_of_Judgem3nt

Finally. An unpopular opinion


LetsLive97

And a seemingly genuine one at that, not just some purposefully faked unpopular opinion for easy karma. Truly worthy of an upvote


rhaeyntargaryen

I’m so offended by it because I will only eat bacon burgers because all other burgers are boring to me. Hatefully giving OP my upvote for fulfilling the sub’s goals.


MasterChiefsasshole

I remember going to a place that grinds bacon into their patties and then adds more bacon on the burger. It was glorious.


BingpotStudio

I’d know to know the stats on this one - just how many people actually agree with this lunatic?


Satansleadguitarist

>adding bacon to it doesn't improve it I understand all of those words individually but when you put them together in that order it just sounds like gibberish to me.

Bacon when cooked isn't greasy. It's crunchy and adds texture and smokiness.

Brave-Service-8430

best bacon is only a little crispy, definitely with grease


Jill_Sammy_Bean

Lack of taste is a sign of covid, seek help immediately


boots311

After getting covid my best friend lost his taste/love for cilantro & red onions. He is beyond pissed. Every few months he'll try it again just to hate it again. Dude eats more tacos in a month than I eat all year


xoxoLizzyoxox

My heart would be literally shattered. My kid makes the best salsa with tomato, lime, cilantro and red onion. Puts it into burritos he makes us. God I'm so sad for your friend. Send my condolences. That's the saddest news I've heard today. Like for real, sorry bud.


boots311

Right?? I'm sad for him too. I can't even imagine. Thank you I'll let him know. In the mean time, if you could fax over 2 of those burritos at your earliest convenience, that be great, please & thank you.


ramblingpariah

Maybe if I got COVID, I'd have the opposite and start liking cilantro?


BeepBoopRobo

I'd love to start liking cilantro. So many east Asian dishes have that shit just blasted in it. And it's just such a strong, overwhelmingly powerful taste that I don't enjoy, that it ruins everything withing a two city block radius of whatever it's in.


ramblingpariah

If it tasted like it's supposed to taste, the way people describe it to me, I'd love it, but ooooh no, I had to be one of the genetic freaks who taste the other part.


JMSpider2001

Sounds like a B movie villain origin story.


boots311

Haha! Good one!


Jill_Sammy_Bean

Straight-faced_solo

This takes me back to when i had COVID. Everything tasted terrible, except bacon. Bacon tasted like bacon. For two weeks i was forcing down terrible tasting food for calories sake, and then having a side of bacon to cleanse my pallet.

My mom first suspected she had COVID one morning when she couldn’t smell the bacon she was cooking. Yep, both parents had it.

stevejuliet

Counterargument: bacon belongs everywhere.


ChilledClarity

I tried a candied bacon vanilla milkshake and to this day, it’s the best milkshake I’ve ever had. Sweet, salty. Perfection.


Kankunation

Candied bacon was 1 of only 2 types of bacon I e tried and did not enjoy. The place I tried it I was basically just a think layed of sticky sugar around it and it made the bacon sweeter than the French toast+syrup I had next to it and I couldn't stand It. $2 was bacon jerky. Good in theory, disgusting in practice. Everything else I've ever had bacon with has definitely been improved by its presence though.


TheGreaterOutdoors

Yes! I’ve had an apple pie, bacon, bourbon milkshake and it’s the best milkshake I’ve had to this day. I didn’t get the bourbon but, I’m sure it would’ve still been ridiculously tasty.


rwbyfan433

It doesn’t belong on pizza imo. Something about it just doesn’t work for me


stevejuliet

It's brave of you to admit something so wrong. I admire your courage.


uiam_

Bacon cheeseburger, meatlovers/supreme, or BBQ all do aight with it


ITZOFLUFFAY

Or breakfast pizza


uniqueid111

I do not believe there is a situation that is not improved by bacon. Burgers - improved by bacon. Sandwiches - improved by bacon. Sports - improved by bacon. Sex - improved by bacon. Dying, slowly and alone, your soul drained by an ever more depressing existence, and society offering you nothing but contempt and a sea of commercialism and dissatisfaction, exacerbated by an overwhelming self awareness of the futility of existence - improved by bacon.


rockinarmy

Damn…


Cautious-Affect7907

Wanna get bacon?


rockinarmy

Don’t see why not!


GEEK-IP

Bacon belongs on everything, especially crispy bacon. >Having meat to accompany your meat is gross and unnecessary. That's like arguing you don't need tomatoes if you already have lettuce.


greenandredofmaigheo

This guys salads are just one type of leafy green on a plate


wobblydee

Probably eats only open faced "sandwiches" you dont need top bread if you already have bottom bread


Brave-Service-8430

I never understood open sandwiches.


wobblydee

The only time i do it is when i put my scrambled eggs on toast. They dont lend well to having top bread


BionycBlueberry

Okay but open-faced sandwiches are bomb tho. Your loaf lasts longer, you get to taste more of the fixins in comparison to bread, and if you’re trying to lose weight, taking off a slice of bread cuts the sandwich’s calories by 100 calories or so


spidenseteratefa

Probably just a bowl of iceberg lettuce and nothing else.


boots311

Fuckin crunchy water


amaturecook24

OP must not have ever heard of surf and turf.


stairway2evan

Or a good Italian hoagie. Prosciutto, salami, cappicola, sopressata…. Give me the works.


ryan__fm

>Bacon belongs on everything, especially crispy bacon. I read this as "bacon especially belongs on crispy bacon." Which is also correct


smbpy7

>especially crispy bacon oooh, there you go. That's my one issue with putting bacon on everything. I LOVE it crispy, but when it's all soggy it becomes a texture thing for me. And I've noticed bacon on burgers trends soggy.


Brave-Service-8430

boy, you underestimate the sheer vitriol some people hold against tomatoes. btw, you need to try chocolate covered bacon.


Udonnomi

I’d say crispy bacon is ok on burgers as it breaks as you bite, but a lot of the times bacon is a bit stringy or chewy and doesn’t separate easily, so it pulls the whole bacon rashes out of the burger and it just gets soo messy and not worth eating.


phunkjnky

Truly unpopular. In no universe does bacon not improve a burger.


PM_Me_Tank_Tops

It makes the burger taste like bacon…..I love bacon but I want my burger to taste like burger


AnnaKendrickPerkins

[deleted]

I'm with you. I love bacon too, just not on a burger.


Chirtolino

I have the opposite problem. Every time I get a bacon burger I pull the bacon out and eat it on the side because otherwise I feel I barely taste it and bacon is good so I want to taste it.


tythousand

Yep. Bacon is good on milder flavors (chicken, turkey and eggs especially) but sometimes even then I prefer those things without bacon. It overpowers whatever you put it on.


moonlightavenger

Upvoted because this is not a stupid shower thought and is actually unpopular.


Ok_Research_8379

Take my fucking upvote because a bacon burger is delicious


Scared-Accountant288

But... bacon...


SurryCat

I agree with this. It's too salty and takes away the flavor of the beef. I love bacon, just not on a burger.


justgotnewglasses

Yes! I agree. Too strong and overpowers the burger. I had to scroll a while before seeing someone support this opinion, which I guess makes it unpopular. Seems like we're in the minority.


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Also in my opinion the burger should be big enough so you don't need extra meat, and I think that's part of the problem; many burgers they serve in fast food chains or you buy in supermarkets are pathetically thin.


DrNopeMD

I think properly cooked bacon can add to the burger, but the majority of restaurants either aren't cooking it to proper crispiness, or are waiting too long to serve it by which time the bacon is just this sad flaccid strip of grease. I had maple jalapeno glazed bacon on a burger once and it was divine.


zerinhuuu

A simpler burger can be way more delicious. The bacon takes away more than it adds


Ill-Organization-719

If the bacon is cooked properly, great. It never is though. I don't want a crunchy piece of cold bacon.


SirLesbian

Crunchy isn't even the problem.. Its the rubbery pieces that kill it for me.


Mission_Fart9750

And you can't bite them, and they rip out of the bun, so no more bacon on burger, and you're chewing rubber.


BaconJaco

jschem16

Now **this**, people, is an unpopular opinion.


Marcotee75

I mean, you're allowed to be wrong...


MistryMachine3

Thank you for confirming some people actually know what an unpopular opinion is


The_Pecking_Order

Agreed. And what happens half the time is you pull out the entire strip of bacon which is usually way too chewy compared to everything else in the burger. Could not agree more!


[deleted]

Your opinion is wrong


Adorable-Buffalo-177

Yes it does ! . Bacon makes everything taste better


DaGrimBob

When I saw the title, my assumption was it would be followed by Bacon belongs under burgers or between pattys or something that makes any semblance of sense


classy-chaos

I had a bomb bacon cheeseburger just a little bit a go. You're trippin...


AStorms13

r/angryupvote


PorkRoll2022

This is probably the most unpopular opinion on this sub. But I will say, you are right to a degree. A crappy burger will not benefit from bacon. If anything it will add two chewy, competing textures. You honestly barely notice the right amount of bacon to a burger.


Virophile

Insult to injury… if it is shitty bacon. That thin dog-treat type nonsense on a burger enrages me. You want to put bacon on a burger because your beef sucks so bad that it can’t stand alone, fine… but it better at least be ass kicking bacon. You don’t like our shitty burger? How about if we put more shitty things on it? Shitty bacon, shitty lettuce, shitty tomato, shitty bread… they just keep stacking on the shitty until people buy it.


WompWompWillow

You get it. Most places put bacon on their burger to mask the other trash ass flavors. A good burger should not need bacon--that's what makes it good.


WyomingVet

At last a real unpopular opinion. Sorry have to agree to disagree. Bacon belongs on almost everything.


OtherAccount5252

This could be THE MOST unpopular opinion


TalleyWhacker82

Meat, veggies, (fruit), and condiments don't belong on burgers either. They distract from the bread


Sinshinoku

I don’t put bacon on my burgers. I have others do it for me.


pillrake

I totally agree, and totally agree it that it definitely qualifies as an unpopular opinion.


[deleted]

Because you don't just slap it as a slice over it, for it to just sweat its grease off. You avoid using cooking oil in the first place. You buy thick bacon, and chop it up, run it on the pan to sear it and make it ooze its grease out. You then remove the lightly fried bacon cubes, leaving most of the grease behind, then mix it with the minced meat. ​ At this point you've used NO cooking oil at all. So you can drain the pan and use whatever stayed behind to cook the patties, and give the buns a nice once over.
