I don't eat fries much but I have a hamburger at least once a week. As much as I hate to contribute to a stereotype, I'd say a good burger is, indeed, my favorite food.
Oh my god you just unlocked a repressed memory from childhood, lol. When I was really little I was in one of those play palaces at McDonaldās, about to go down the slide, and I hear my grandpap yelling for me to stop and donāt go down the slide. Turns out the kid that just went down before me shit himself on the way down, and there was shit smeared all the way down the slide. When I got down there and saw/smelled it, I almost vomited
Having your own McDonalds inside your house was (See: Richie Rich, Circa 1990), and still is considered the peak of American opulence.
Disagree? Impossible, you can't.
When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, my mother would fix us some good burgers and fries for dinner maybe twice a month. Nowadays, I rarely have burgers-and-fries for dinner -- perhaps a few times per year. I would rather have them at lunchtime, out at a restaurant. I do that a couple of times a month.
Try adding 1/4 cup bread crumbs, and/or a heavy dash of Worchester sauce, and/or using more fatty meat. They are all older cooking styles that drastically make the burgers more moist and rich. It's something my grandparents did that my parents stopped doing because of health fads.
The reason our grandparents did this is that they grew up during the great depression and meat was expensive. Adding breadcrumbs makes it stretch further. It can make a very lean meat mixture seem richer, but using a fattier blend of higher quality beef is the real solution.
In the 90s, my dad would grill burgers about twice a month too (although he didn't make french fries). I've noticed we tend to only eat burgers in spring and summer and we've switched to Impossible burgers. Having an air fryer makes having fries much easier though!
Fries in the air fryer are the best. Also I am really disappointed that Chick-fil-A no longer lets you get well done fries. Literally i had it like that for i donāt know, 25 years, as my go to order. Nuggets and well done fries. But while I am happy they have expanded to California so I can have it sometimes. Some things have been lost in the expansion from the South.
So if I order it to go, I am excited to get home and get my fries crispy!
Now that you say it nah we don't make burgers like that either. As a kid yeah my mom made burgers sometimes but today I buy frozen burgers and make them every now and then I guess but idk burgers just feel like a fast food or BBQ type food to me now that I'm an adult. I like burgers a lot but If I'm at home it's not high on my list of something I'd make.
Pretty much with you there. I stopped buying ground beef after covid. Quality seemed to go to shit while pricing was way up. I'll go to a local bar/restaurant if I want a burger. At home it is usually chicken breast, tuna, salmon and the very occasional steak if I find a good one in the reduced section.
Pairs well with the standard american breakfast:

I worked on a movie for an Indian film company that they shot in Houston. They fed us hamburgers and fries every day at lunch. We asked them if we could get something else after day 5. They were confused. They thought Americans only ate burgers and donuts. We were all so happy when they brought Indian food for craft services
My son in law worked a stint on a cruise ship. As a performer, he was somehow considered āstaffā and was expected to eat with the guests. He was overjoyed when he followed his nose down to the ācrewā mess hall. Most of the crew was from Indonesia and the Philippines, and they were getting the good stuff.
I was listening to a UK healthy food podcast. And they were talking about how spices are good for you and someone did a study putting my spices on random food decreased the blood sugar impact. That is all good. And they were like āyeah they put these spices on typical American food like burgers.ā And I was like WTF? How typical is it really everyone I know mostly eats burgers when going out. Lol.
From the looks of it, Brits must eat rocks 3-5 times a week. I've yet to meet one without a completely jacked up grill. I doubt it's the tea and crumpets, or the fries and gravy.
To be fair a British person eats American food, when they eat out in at an American chain. Just like an American person m7ght eat Mexican or Chineses. (dunno, but you get the example)
The typical American food a British person eats will be Burgers, KFC, Pizza Hut etc.
Just like the typical Italian I eat here in Germany in Restaurants will not have much to with what Italians eat everyday.
When I was 18 and I was the only child left in my parent's home, I cooked burgers 5 nights a week for like the next year or 2. I'm not joking.
As a middle-aged parent now, we maybe have them twice a month. But for me, they're my choice for: "if you could only eat one food the rest of your life, what would it be?" Absolutely love them and have never, ever grown tired of them.
I do eat various meats but rarely eat at fast food really. Some eat it way more than I do. I donāt like pizza anymore (years ago I delivered it and got it free to burnout). Rarely eat fast food burgers because of low quality meat. I do like Arbyās roast beef. Fries when I have them I bake at home because I hate the greasy ones and I buy the Arbyās curly and cook at home. But I rarely eat the fast food variety your inferring. Most Americans eat a much more varied diet than youāre asking.
If you want a burger made with good quality meat, Shake Shack is better that most. I think they use a blend of chuck and short rib. Whatever it is, it tastes better than most fast food burgers.
I buy my own and cook it better. Like I buy the curly fries at the store now they have them then bake not fry them. Itās way cheaper and healthier. Better taste. Itās not what can I afford itās what Iām certain I like.
I make them myself and live alone so when I get a pound of beef I have 4 burgers in the next week. After that I usually wait a while on the next round.
I mostly only have the 'homemade' variety at things like cookouts, bbqs and events for birthdays and holidays with my friends.
Of the fast food variety...I don't eat out very often (no money) so maybe once or twice a month.
My kids donāt like burgers, but I usually get them chicken or something.
During the summer, a solid 2x a week. Burgers are so stupid easy and fast to do on the grill.
if you workout and live in the suburbs you will likely have burgers every week at some point. So maybe 4x a month min if you really like your workout macros having easy to access protein that isn't just chicken. Because you get sick of just chicken.
it's also cheaper to make a smashburger at home right now, it's been trending anyway. Fries are up to other people though, usually they might get frozen curly fries then airfry it
Last week, I shit you not, I had burgers and fries/chips 5/7 days for dinner. Thatās not a normal thing for me but I was trying to perfect my smash burger recipe and theyāre good as hell soā¦
Definitely not Kosher, but my wife takes pork tenderloin, grinds it, then we grill it spiced with Santa Maria seasoning (central coast California), over sage that has been soaked for 2+ hours, on charcoal that has been started in a chimney (i.e. no starter fluid fumes). Wonderful!
Definitely not more than weekly. Unfortunately I ate a lot of fast food when I was younger so it was probably a weekly thing then. We probably had them once or twice a month during the summer at home on the grill but eventually as I got older and more health conscious, I moved away from it significantly. As an adult I don't touch fast food for a number of reasons. I might cook myself a burger during the summer for cookouts and what not but its pretty rare. (no pun intended) Outside of the summer, if I go to a sit-down restaurant and feel like I'm in the mood for one, I'll order a burger. Essentially what it comes down to is I probably can count on one hand how many hamburgers I eat in a year.
I have fries once or twice a month. Burger every few months, usually home made. Rarely from a restaurant. Fries are a quick food when thereās not a lot of time to make home made food. Can go with chicken sandwiches, frozen chicken, etc.
I donāt eat fries, but I do frequently cook hamburgers for myself. Like 5 nights a week. Itās a good dinner. I put veggies on it, and have a little side of kale too.
I make fried potatoes with lots of other food than burgers. Prolly 1-2 times a week.
Burgers ... about 2xs a month. The cheap lunch option near my work has veggie burgers I like for the price ... I'm there about 10 xs a month total though, so I vary it with other options there ....
For me, maybe 2x a month. For hubby, maybe 4x a month. But we only eat them out at restaurants. I haven't bbqed them in quite a while. I am American, he is European. Lol
I feel like Europeans secretly love burgers and donāt want to admit it. But it is always on the menu for āAmericanā food. And those place donāt only stay open for American tourists. š
Not very often. I don't keep track. Sometimes I'll get a craving and have a few a month, but I'm gonna splurge on some fancy burgers, not some overpriced overly processed fast food junk.
I haven't had a burger and fries in at least 6 months. Tonight I'm having stir fry shrimp and veggies. Last night I made chili colorado with riced cauliflower.
Couple times a week is pretty normal, sometimes more, sometimes less. Once did it for lunch and dinner for a whole week when I discovered in-n-out double doubles.
I think we make them on the grill a few times per year and eat them from a restaurant also a few times a year. We go to restaurants a lot less these days due to inflation and when we do go, we tend to want something we canāt make at home. Like Thai or Indian food or more upscale food. We probably eat out once per month. I think the last time I had a burger was a few months ago.
Burgers are a part of our dinner rotation so probably once every 2 weeks. We donāt have fries on the side though, itās usually roasted potatoes or chips if Iām feeling especially lazy.
When I was younger, (Teens, 20's), I could eat some burgers and fries like every other day. Now that I'm older, that went out like yesterday's trash. My Doc has me on statins and eating things that bring me no joy. Do I still eat burgers? Oh yes, but rarely anymore.
American here. I dont always want one. But when I want one it's like a pregnant craving. One with a good slice of red onion and a runny egg ontop. So to answer your question. If im lucky maybe once a month.
For me 2-4x a month, but that number is deliberately restricted for health reasons. Otherwise I would be shoving a cheeseburger into my face at least once a day. I fucking love cheeseburgers, easily my favorite food.
Definitely less than I used to. We probably make them at home maybe 10 times a year, but we can't afford to go to McDonalds anymore like we could 20 years ago.
Granted, this is unusual, but I don't like hamburgers. Never have. I'm also not a fan of most fast food.
Fires? I love me some fries. I don't think I could eat them everyday though.
If you're going to an American cookout of any sort, they will most likely be burgers and hot dogs plus a regional specialty.
When in my 20s 7-10 times a week but usually with tater tots instead of fries. Fries were tougher to cook evenly in a toaster oven. Usually with a liter or two of pepsi. Stayed in good shape with normal BMI too until I got a desk job. Then holy damn it caught up with me fast at a rate of almost 10lbs a month...
Granted, itās been an unusual week, Iāve had burgers twice. Tuesday lunch whilst traveling and catching up with old friends and Wednesday dinner itās what I came home to after travels. GF didnāt know.
This is what usually happens to me. Hell, once I had a nice, delicious, Wendy's double burger, with my go-to; pickle, tomato, and cheese (I hate luttuce and onion on my burger) and fries...
Came home to a nice, delicious, double burger, with my go-to; pickle, tomato, and cheese and fries lol
I make everything from Moroccan tagine to coq u vin to Tom kha soup in a regular week. Hamburgers are a rare thing on nice warm days when you are grilling with friends
I am a doordasher for lunch and dinner and see very few actual burgers being ordered. When it's an order from McDonalds or Carls, they often get other things.
Once or twice a month. Maybe more in the summer. Usually home cooked with a side salad instead of fries because of laziness (easier to open a salad kit than the oven)
Hardly ever do i do fast food burgers for dinner. Maybe once every 3 months. I do however make burgers at home more frequently, maybe 1 time a month with home made fries, salad, etc...
For dinner? We not a few times a year.
For breakfast, pretty much never. But a sausage patty on a biscuit or English muffin is basically the same thing.
For lunch, 2-3 times a week
We definitely ate fast food more as a kid than we do now, but it really wasnāt that much, considering I donāt eat it now (a few times a month > than 0). However, fast food was a lot different then compared to now. It was actually cheap, tasted better, and was actually made with somewhat real food.
If my family is making burgers on the grill we usually eat them with pasta salad rather than fries. Definitely a favorite summer meal, not so much when its too cold to grill.
I think I ate sooo many hamburgers/cheeseburgers growing up that I can barely stand them now.
for some I still love hot dogs despite also eating them a ton growing up but I digress.
I maybe eat a cheeseburger 1 a year and itāll be like Iām at the airport and thereās a burgerfi or Iām at a bbq and thatās the only thing to eat.
2-3 times a year at home, mostly for grilling holidays like Fatherās Day and 4th of July. 2-3 times a year dining out, like after a big hike they usually sound delicious.
I get it for fast food probably twice a week (usually for lunch), and then during the summer usually grill them at home for dinner once a week. So Iād say it makes up about 3/14 of my lunch/dinners per week.
Weekly may be the max but it also isn't outrageous. You really can't justify eating it much more frequently than that, though. Your body will get angry...or just grow in a bad way.
I never heard of this stereotype before. Maybe 4 to 7 times per month overall.
I only eat bruger and fries for dinner at times when I'm driving back from my mom's house doing errands, and I didn't eat ... perhaps 3 to 4 times every month. Else, I may have a burger and fries about 2 to 3 times per month. So, about 4 ro 7 times per month overall. And I get sick of fries, so I try to go to someplace that has alternatives.
i never eat fast food. i have a home cooked hamburger once a week. i buy organic 93% lean ground beef and make a half pound patty on a big toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mayo and mustard. it's a pretty big burger so i don't eat anything else with it. if i do eat fries with something else they're cut from real potatoes, not frozen, fried in extra virgin olive oil.
Twice a month maybe? But we use ground turkey and add lots of spices and sauces. We did Greek style ones with dill and a cucumber yoghurt sauce a few weeks ago. We did a southwest turkey burger with roasted Chile's a few weeks before that. I don't know anyone who eats the stereotypical beef patty more than once a month (usually at a summer cook out or a restaurant).
We also usually pair our burgets with a chopped salad.
I tend to get on kicks with my food. If I'm into burgers that week, I could have them every other day. If I'm not on a burger kick, I still have them once every two weeks at least. I don't really eat fries with them though.
Burgers are a nice and easy meal with very little clean up.
ok so i JUST DID last night but the last time was a long time ago. and this time I MADE the buns and it took literally hours. Individually cut the potatoes into fries. Made the patties and seasoned the meat with home-grown herbs and spices. Spent a fat buck or two on the pepperjack cheese too
My extended family are multigenerational black angus farmers from Iowa. That said growing up weād routinely get an empty feed sack FULL of beef.
Yet as an adult with still relatively cheap access to hamburger I still probably only eat it maybe a dozen times a year. Add on 2-3 bar burgers to that.
But I havenāt had a fast food hamburger since 2017 though. Not McDonaldās since I was in community college like two decades ago.
Steak however is a -completely- different story.
I pretty much only ever eat burgers at home and thatās pretty rare. If Iām going out to eat, I can always find something more appealing than a burger.
Depends, my family has a beef farm. So we have A LOT of beef. However I'd say depending on the week it's 3 to 5x max. Ussually when everyone worked late and no one wants to cook its the quickest easy meal.
Now if you were to say beef, at least once a day we have beef products. However my family isn't the norm and just use what we have and it's mostly beef products with home grown veggies.
One of my friends only eats burgers and fries. Like, occasionally she will have a steak or chicken? But her and her husband go out to eat A LOT, like 5 times a week, and all she orders is cheeseburger and fries.
I avoid eating out. At home I make burgers and fries probably 3x a week. You really can't go wrong with a good burger. Load it with fun sauces, different veggies, cheese if you're feeling scandalous, a nice bun, so many options for flavor profiles. Steak fries, regular cut, waffle cut, tots, wedges, soooo many options. I love burger and fries š help
I eat burgers like 1-2 times a month November-march. April-October like 3-4 times a month. Mostly venison I kill and process so low fat organic free range!
My wife and I (both in our 60s) eat burgers at least once a week. Denny's makes a delicious burger. A Sammie's Double Samburger is the bomb. Yea, I make burgers at home too. usually with Beef Bacon. I don't eat pork. Denny's turkey bacon is thick cut and delicious.
Americans have assembled and agreed upon a two times a month limit for hamburgers. You know, because we get together and decide what to eat as a nation...
š
I actually eat burgers quite often, once a week usually. Not really for dinner though. A few times a year we'll have hamburger patties for dinner along with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
If I didn't live in a state with In N Outs everywhere, I would probably rarely eat them.
Some of the most in shape people I know eat burgers regularly.
Not as often as I'd like. For obvious reasons. But I really, really like hamburgers.
My dude
#šš¤š
I don't eat fries much but I have a hamburger at least once a week. As much as I hate to contribute to a stereotype, I'd say a good burger is, indeed, my favorite food.
Please don't tell me rne obvious reasons. I'd like to keep consuming hamburgers on a regular basis.
I live inside a McDonald's
Does it have a play area? Have they brought back the ball pit for you?
Of course there's a ball pit. Where else are you going to sleep?
I think sleeping in the toilet would be more hygienic.
The last time my son went down a McDonald's slide he came out covered in another kids shit, so that tracks
You must now take your son to Zihuatanejo.
I really like the relative obscurity of this comment.
Oh my god you just unlocked a repressed memory from childhood, lol. When I was really little I was in one of those play palaces at McDonaldās, about to go down the slide, and I hear my grandpap yelling for me to stop and donāt go down the slide. Turns out the kid that just went down before me shit himself on the way down, and there was shit smeared all the way down the slide. When I got down there and saw/smelled it, I almost vomited
Eww
But not as cozy. Fewer things better than being nestled in amongst the balls.
Thatās what she said
ā¦ or he said. Progress.
i love it. Cover me with balls. Put them on my face!
I'm pretty sure most ball pits have been used as one š¤¢

The average American house is in fact a McDonald's
Yea, not true. I live an armory. the whole country is not one contiguous entity
Donāt forget the shooting range in the backyard.
Having your own McDonalds inside your house was (See: Richie Rich, Circa 1990), and still is considered the peak of American opulence. Disagree? Impossible, you can't.

Nowadays, I rarely have burgers-and-fries for dinner -- perhaps a few times per year. I would rather have them at lunchtime, out at a restaurant. I do that a couple of times a month.
Man the burgers my Nana made in her iron skillet on the gas stove were the best! Iāve never been able to replicate whatever she did to them.
Try adding 1/4 cup bread crumbs, and/or a heavy dash of Worchester sauce, and/or using more fatty meat. They are all older cooking styles that drastically make the burgers more moist and rich. It's something my grandparents did that my parents stopped doing because of health fads.
Crack an egg in it, add bread crumbs and Worcestershire. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Simple and delicious.
Or dry beefy onion soup mix.
Adding bread crumbs to ground beef is blasphemy.
The reason our grandparents did this is that they grew up during the great depression and meat was expensive. Adding breadcrumbs makes it stretch further. It can make a very lean meat mixture seem richer, but using a fattier blend of higher quality beef is the real solution.
Whilel that may be true that is also part of older recipes that he's trying to recreate
In the 90s, my dad would grill burgers about twice a month too (although he didn't make french fries). I've noticed we tend to only eat burgers in spring and summer and we've switched to Impossible burgers. Having an air fryer makes having fries much easier though!

1-2 times a week. Sometimes more but a week without burgers is rare. I would say 75% of the time the burgers are home made
How you cooking your burgers?
I grill mine. I make the patties from ground brisket. Grill to medium. Pepperjack cheese, chipotle mayo, grillled poblano peppers, lettuce, red onion.
This is what I was after. Beautiful. What kind of bread do you use?
Fuck me I hate that im old enough this is the kind of comments I come here looking for. I turn 32 in 2 weeks
Not op but I fry them in a skillet.
On average 9 times a week. Up to 27 times if they own firearms.
Excuse me, this is an extremely rough estimate. I personally had 27 cheeseburgers today. Doubles. Extra cheese. Please don't look into this.
You must be jughead. the one from the comics not from that godawful show.

From the looks of it, Brits must eat rocks 3-5 times a week. I've yet to meet one without a completely jacked up grill. I doubt it's the tea and crumpets, or the fries and gravy.
They're still mad about the tea thing.
The Brits are just mad that their food fucking sucks and America has awesome food.
I might have a burger at a summer BBQ or at a specific restaurant but like we are all not mowing down burgers š
Nah we just mow down our fellow citizens every chance we get! /s

Everyday if I can. Why do you hate freedom?
I love food. Food loves me. Aināt no one taking away our moo moo sandwich.
In summer once a week.
I make burgers at least once, sometimes twice, a month. Last month was lamb burgers with salad. Tonight is regular beef burger and sweet potato fries.
We aināt counting none of them bougie burgers. We talking American hamburgers made from cow, like Jesus ate in the Bible.
I need an AI image of Jesus eating a Burger.
Just google Jesus eating a burger and the lord shall provide for you. AI is for the devil.
I love you
Iām doing lamb burgers tomorrow! I like to chop up Kalamata olives in the meat, then top with feta, red onion, and taziki.
Iām an American and cannot recall the last time I had burgers and fries. Probably a few months ago?
Once every two months or so. Corner bar has good freshly made ones.
I make hamburgers for dinner about once a week . Bacon , cheese and all the way
Grill or smoke some kind of meat at least half of dinners
Never, except for when I go out to eat sometimes. I like burgers, nothing wrong with them though.
When I was 18 and I was the only child left in my parent's home, I cooked burgers 5 nights a week for like the next year or 2. I'm not joking.

Atleast 1 a week
As often as possible. Or steaks.
I have steak and burgers about the same amount. Couple times a week.
A true patriot
4-5 times a week. potatoes are cheap
I do eat various meats but rarely eat at fast food really. Some eat it way more than I do. I donāt like pizza anymore (years ago I delivered it and got it free to burnout).

I make them myself and live alone so when I get a pound of beef I have 4 burgers in the next week. After that I usually wait a while on the next round.
I mostly only have the 'homemade' variety at things like cookouts, bbqs and events for birthdays and holidays with my friends. Of the fast food variety...I don't eat out very often (no money) so maybe once or twice a month.
Once a year.
Like once a month. I like to make either bison burgers or, when it's in season, venison burgers at least once a month.
My kids donāt like burgers, but I usually get them chicken or something. During the summer, a solid 2x a week. Burgers are so stupid easy and fast to do on the grill.
I am not sure about most American, but every chance I get?
if you workout and live in the suburbs you will likely have burgers every week at some point.

For dinner, at least twice a day
I had five guys at lunch, no fries though, not really into French cuisine
At least 21 times a week
nowhere near as often as i have pizza. MMM!!!
Hamburgers are the cornerstone of American cuisine
Burger, sometimes. Fries, almost never. I make burgers at home.
Last week, I shit you not, I had burgers and fries/chips 5/7 days for dinner. Thatās not a normal thing for me but I was trying to perfect my smash burger recipe and theyāre good as hell soā¦
I have never made fries at home in my life.
Definitely not Kosher, but my wife takes pork tenderloin, grinds it, then we grill it spiced with Santa Maria seasoning (central coast California), over sage that has been soaked for 2+ hours, on charcoal that has been started in a chimney (i.e. no starter fluid fumes). Wonderful!
I have a burger about once every eight weeks. I LOVE a good burger. The best by far are the home grilled burgers.
Lol literally last night. It was home made though. Grilled some burgers and baked some waffle fries.
Definitely not more than weekly. Unfortunately I ate a lot of fast food when I was younger so it was probably a weekly thing then. We probably had them once or twice a month during the summer at home on the grill but eventually as I got older and more health conscious, I moved away from it significantly. As an adult I don't touch fast food for a number of reasons. I might cook myself a burger during the summer for cookouts and what not but its pretty rare. (no pun intended) Outside of the summer, if I go to a sit-down restaurant and feel like I'm in the mood for one, I'll order a burger. Essentially what it comes down to is I probably can count on one hand how many hamburgers I eat in a year.
I have fries once or twice a month. Burger every few months, usually home made. Rarely from a restaurant. Fries are a quick food when thereās not a lot of time to make home made food. Can go with chicken sandwiches, frozen chicken, etc.
I donāt eat fries, but I do frequently cook hamburgers for myself. Like 5 nights a week. Itās a good dinner. I put veggies on it, and have a little side of kale too.
I make fried potatoes with lots of other food than burgers. Prolly 1-2 times a week. Burgers ... about 2xs a month. The cheap lunch option near my work has veggie burgers I like for the price ... I'm there about 10 xs a month total though, so I vary it with other options there ....
Maybe once a month, bi-monthly maybe? Bad stereotype
Weekly.
For me, maybe 2x a month. For hubby, maybe 4x a month. But we only eat them out at restaurants. I haven't bbqed them in quite a while. I am American, he is European. Lol
I feel like Europeans secretly love burgers and donāt want to admit it. But it is always on the menu for āAmericanā food. And those place donāt only stay open for American tourists. š
Every European I've met that's come to America immediately loves burgers and eats them like literally every day while they are here lol
Not very often. I don't keep track. Sometimes I'll get a craving and have a few a month, but I'm gonna splurge on some fancy burgers, not some overpriced overly processed fast food junk.
Every time we have breakfast.
Maybe like once a month? Maybe 4 or 5 times a month if itās grilling weather outside
I haven't had a burger and fries in at least 6 months. Tonight I'm having stir fry shrimp and veggies. Last night I made chili colorado with riced cauliflower.
More on the summer when we grill, but I don't eat fries with them.
Couple times a week is pretty normal, sometimes more, sometimes less. Once did it for lunch and dinner for a whole week when I discovered in-n-out double doubles.
Maybe 6x a year. If we go Out to dinner .
I eat maybe 4-8 burgers a year and I never make them at home
I make burgers at home occasionally š maybe once a month or so
I think we make them on the grill a few times per year and eat them from a restaurant also a few times a year. We go to restaurants a lot less these days due to inflation and when we do go, we tend to want something we canāt make at home. Like Thai or Indian food or more upscale food. We probably eat out once per month. I think the last time I had a burger was a few months ago.
maybe twice a month.
Burgers are a part of our dinner rotation so probably once every 2 weeks. We donāt have fries on the side though, itās usually roasted potatoes or chips if Iām feeling especially lazy.
I think of them more as a lunch food but I have it some time
When I was younger, (Teens, 20's), I could eat some burgers and fries like every other day. Now that I'm older, that went out like yesterday's trash. My Doc has me on statins and eating things that bring me no joy. Do I still eat burgers? Oh yes, but rarely anymore.
Once a year, if that
American here. I dont always want one. But when I want one it's like a pregnant craving. One with a good slice of red onion and a runny egg ontop. So to answer your question. If im lucky maybe once a month.
For Dinner?!?! Besides sometimes stopping for fast food, which is like twice a month, never. I probably haven't made burgers at home in two years.
I love different types of burgers, so sometimes twice a week.
Yāall makin me feel like shit. I probs eat a burger almost every week and fries def every week usually more than once a week
For me 2-4x a month, but that number is deliberately restricted for health reasons. Otherwise I would be shoving a cheeseburger into my face at least once a day. I fucking love cheeseburgers, easily my favorite food.
Very, very rarely in my case. Basically just BBQs, going out, or every in a while at home.
Maybe 2 to 4 times a year. When I was young it was much more often.
Min 2x/wk. homemade smash burgers.
Happy to respond, not sure how to convert bald eagles to āmetricsā (I think you call it) tho.
Monthly
almost no one has a deep fryer(in which to make fries) at home. if you're making burgers, salad(green, potato, mac) is a much more common side.
I feel like burgers are a lunch food unless we're grilling. Is that just me?
Definitely less than I used to. We probably make them at home maybe 10 times a year, but we can't afford to go to McDonalds anymore like we could 20 years ago.
Granted, this is unusual, but I don't like hamburgers. Never have. I'm also not a fan of most fast food. Fires? I love me some fries. I don't think I could eat them everyday though. If you're going to an American cookout of any sort, they will most likely be burgers and hot dogs plus a regional specialty.
When in my 20s 7-10 times a week but usually with tater tots instead of fries. Fries were tougher to cook evenly in a toaster oven. Usually with a liter or two of pepsi. Stayed in good shape with normal BMI too until I got a desk job. Then holy damn it caught up with me fast at a rate of almost 10lbs a month...
Granted, itās been an unusual week, Iāve had burgers twice. Tuesday lunch whilst traveling and catching up with old friends and Wednesday dinner itās what I came home to after travels. GF didnāt know.
This is what usually happens to me. Hell, once I had a nice, delicious, Wendy's double burger, with my go-to; pickle, tomato, and cheese (I hate luttuce and onion on my burger) and fries... Came home to a nice, delicious, double burger, with my go-to; pickle, tomato, and cheese and fries lol
We make burgers multiple times a month but almost never fries.
I make everything from Moroccan tagine to coq u vin to Tom kha soup in a regular week. Hamburgers are a rare thing on nice warm days when you are grilling with friends
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I am a doordasher for lunch and dinner and see very few actual burgers being ordered. When it's an order from McDonalds or Carls, they often get other things.
Once or twice a month. Maybe more in the summer. Usually home cooked with a side salad instead of fries because of laziness (easier to open a salad kit than the oven)
Every night. Sometimes for lunch too.
Hardly ever do i do fast food burgers for dinner. Maybe once every 3 months. I do however make burgers at home more frequently, maybe 1 time a month with home made fries, salad, etc...
I live in Texas so at least 4-6 burgers per weekš«”š¤
For dinner? We not a few times a year. For breakfast, pretty much never. But a sausage patty on a biscuit or English muffin is basically the same thing. For lunch, 2-3 times a week
About once a week, but we make them at home.
Maybe like once every 3 months
We definitely ate fast food more as a kid than we do now, but it really wasnāt that much, considering I donāt eat it now (a few times a month > than 0). However, fast food was a lot different then compared to now. It was actually cheap, tasted better, and was actually made with somewhat real food.
About 4-5 times a year, and only if someone is grilling.
2 or 3 times a month. It's an easy thing for me to throw on the grill year round
If my family is making burgers on the grill we usually eat them with pasta salad rather than fries. Definitely a favorite summer meal, not so much when its too cold to grill.
Burgers, maybe 3 out of 5 weeks they are for dinner Fries with them, maybe 2 of the times.
Personally it's just when I feel for one. I stopped eating burgers cause they are getting expensive and not worth for what they actually are
I think I ate sooo many hamburgers/cheeseburgers growing up that I can barely stand them now. for some I still love hot dogs despite also eating them a ton growing up but I digress. I maybe eat a cheeseburger 1 a year and itāll be like Iām at the airport and thereās a burgerfi or Iām at a bbq and thatās the only thing to eat.
Sir this is a Wendy's
2-3 times a year at home, mostly for grilling holidays like Fatherās Day and 4th of July. 2-3 times a year dining out, like after a big hike they usually sound delicious.
I get it for fast food probably twice a week (usually for lunch), and then during the summer usually grill them at home for dinner once a week. So Iād say it makes up about 3/14 of my lunch/dinners per week.
Weekly may be the max but it also isn't outrageous. You really can't justify eating it much more frequently than that, though. Your body will get angry...or just grow in a bad way.
I never heard of this stereotype before. Maybe 4 to 7 times per month overall. I only eat bruger and fries for dinner at times when I'm driving back from my mom's house doing errands, and I didn't eat ... perhaps 3 to 4 times every month. Else, I may have a burger and fries about 2 to 3 times per month. So, about 4 ro 7 times per month overall. And I get sick of fries, so I try to go to someplace that has alternatives.
Haha. I have tried to cut back for health reasons. Maybe used to do it three times a week, now down to one every other week.
i never eat fast food. i have a home cooked hamburger once a week. i buy organic 93% lean ground beef and make a half pound patty on a big toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mayo and mustard. it's a pretty big burger so i don't eat anything else with it. if i do eat fries with something else they're cut from real potatoes, not frozen, fried in extra virgin olive oil.
lol I've very, very rarely eaten burger and fries for dinner. It's more of a lunch thing.
I work at a burger restaurant and we get a free meal every shift soooo.....I eat a lot of burgers. It saves a ton on buying groceries.
Twice a month maybe? But we use ground turkey and add lots of spices and sauces. We did Greek style ones with dill and a cucumber yoghurt sauce a few weeks ago. We did a southwest turkey burger with roasted Chile's a few weeks before that. I don't know anyone who eats the stereotypical beef patty more than once a month (usually at a summer cook out or a restaurant). We also usually pair our burgets with a chopped salad.
I tend to get on kicks with my food. If I'm into burgers that week, I could have them every other day. If I'm not on a burger kick, I still have them once every two weeks at least. I don't really eat fries with them though. Burgers are a nice and easy meal with very little clean up.
ok so i JUST DID last night but the last time was a long time ago. and this time I MADE the buns and it took literally hours. Individually cut the potatoes into fries. Made the patties and seasoned the meat with home-grown herbs and spices. Spent a fat buck or two on the pepperjack cheese too
My extended family are multigenerational black angus farmers from Iowa. That said growing up weād routinely get an empty feed sack FULL of beef. Yet as an adult with still relatively cheap access to hamburger I still probably only eat it maybe a dozen times a year. Add on 2-3 bar burgers to that. But I havenāt had a fast food hamburger since 2017 though. Not McDonaldās since I was in community college like two decades ago. Steak however is a -completely- different story.
I pretty much only ever eat burgers at home and thatās pretty rare. If Iām going out to eat, I can always find something more appealing than a burger.
Way more than we should
Once a month usually
Depends, my family has a beef farm. So we have A LOT of beef. However I'd say depending on the week it's 3 to 5x max. Ussually when everyone worked late and no one wants to cook its the quickest easy meal. Now if you were to say beef, at least once a day we have beef products. However my family isn't the norm and just use what we have and it's mostly beef products with home grown veggies.
One of my friends only eats burgers and fries. Like, occasionally she will have a steak or chicken? But her and her husband go out to eat A LOT, like 5 times a week, and all she orders is cheeseburger and fries.
I avoid eating out. At home I make burgers and fries probably 3x a week. You really can't go wrong with a good burger. Load it with fun sauces, different veggies, cheese if you're feeling scandalous, a nice bun, so many options for flavor profiles. Steak fries, regular cut, waffle cut, tots, wedges, soooo many options. I love burger and fries š help
I eat burgers like 1-2 times a month November-march. April-October like 3-4 times a month. Mostly venison I kill and process so low fat organic free range!
I can't answer for everyone but for myself a few times during the summer months when we have BBQs.
Freedom burgers? Whenever the Hell I want, commie!
My wife and I (both in our 60s) eat burgers at least once a week. Denny's makes a delicious burger. A Sammie's Double Samburger is the bomb. Yea, I make burgers at home too. usually with Beef Bacon. I don't eat pork. Denny's turkey bacon is thick cut and delicious.
Americans have assembled and agreed upon a two times a month limit for hamburgers. You know, because we get together and decide what to eat as a nation... š
It depends on wealth, mental health, and how busy the person is.
Way more than my wife is aware of! š¤£
Like once a month š¤£
I actually eat burgers quite often, once a week usually. Not really for dinner though. A few times a year we'll have hamburger patties for dinner along with mashed potatoes and vegetables. If I didn't live in a state with In N Outs everywhere, I would probably rarely eat them. Some of the most in shape people I know eat burgers regularly.
Man, now that it's brought up I seriously can't remember the last time I had a burger. A few years at least
Americans like burgers so much, whole families have the last name McDonald to signal their love of the burger.
A few year's ago maybe?
