It needs something to provide crunch, as a textural counterpoint to the warm softness of the bun and patty. Lettuce, raw onion, potato chips each work, just pick ONE.

It needs acidic elements to cut the fatty richness. Mustard, pickles, fresh tomato, these you can double up on.

It needs a patty that holds together. I love a blackbean burger but most of them fall apart, might as well call it a blackbean sloppy joe.

It needs to fit in my mouth without squirting condiments out the other side.

It needs catsup, independent of all other requirements. You cannot leave off or replace the catsup.
