Poll: Great buns

[JonInMiddleGA]

Here's the scenario ... you're planning hamburgers at home for dinner but just before you start to cook you realize that you're out of buns.

What do you do?

[Suicane75]

I'm cooking hamburgers as we speak, and though I have buns available, I will be going with a couple of slices of fresh baked rye bread.

[Coffee Warlord]

Wrap some bacon around the edge of those burgers, cook, and serve like a steak.

I really don't like burgers on bread (like white bread), but I'd use it in a pinch instead of running to the store.

Voted Trout because there's two different scenarios here.

1. I want a hamburger.
In this scenario, I have not spent much time getting the patty together and it's going to be nothing special. In this case, a loaf of bread is just fine.

2. I'm making hamburgers.
In this scenario, I've made these burgers and they're going to be freaking amazing. A bun is absolutely required for these burgers.

English muffins make good buns

Yep.

The effort that goes into the patty is proportionally related to the quality of bread required.

Do I have any donuts? If not, go with taco shells.

Hamburgers require buns.

we do this.

I think there are a lot of other factors involved such as how far away is the store, how many beers deep am I, etc...

Hamburgers require buns.

This. Unless it's a genuine hamburger steak (like I had at a restaurant in Japan, which was absolutely delicious).

Hot dogs can make do with bread, but not hamburgers.

This, this this. No exceptions.

I am the exact opposite. The juices from the tube of meat need to be better encased with a crust than a chopped round or sirloin steak do.

Hot dogs in a piece of bread is just gross. Just use a knife and fork.

Homemade sourdough huff said.

*I* could eat a burger w/o a bun, but don't think the family would go for it. I make a quick run to the store to get them. Hell, I ran to the store because I was 1/4 cup short for a batch of instant grits the other night (it's less than a mile away).

[Dutch]

Put a little effort into it and go get the required buns to make it legit.

[claphamsa]

make your own?

[mckerney]

Oh, I guess I would also see if I had any fried chicken.

I would either eat them with buns or with nothing at all. Sliced bread is terrible for hamburgers, because if you cook the burger right, you'll end up having a huge hole in the bread.
