10 Unusual Burger Toppings

1. Potato chips: If you're one of those eaters who likes quality texture in your foods, add some crunch to your burger by following this tip. And if potato chips aren't your thing, try Doritos or Fritos or any of your favorite chippy foods.

2. Kim chee: Bring some Korean zest to your burger by plopping on some kim chee. And if you don't know what kim chee is, it's a pickled dish of vegetables and seasonings. Kim chee comes in all types of varieties, some of them quite spicy. At right is a photo of a bowl of traditional kim chee.
3. Fried eggs: This one tends to be a regional specialty. I seem to notice it more down South, but even there it's not all that common. Yes, it's a big, round, fried egg. This one's only for those not watching their cholesterol. Buy hey, you're already eating a burger.
4. Toasted nuts: Go nutty and put some sliced, toasted almonds or walnuts or cashews on that burger. Really, you could do this with any kind of nut. You'll get a unique flavor, for sure.
5. Black beans: Add some avocado and salsa, and you've got a Tex-Mex burger. Just think, there's all kinds of potential here. You could add your favorite taco sauce, shredded cheese, lots of stuff. Maybe live dangerously by discarding that bun and using a soft burrito shell instead.
6. Sweet and sour sauce: Yep, you can have your very on Chinese burger. Add a little teriyaki or soy sauce, and you're set. Deep fried chicken and pork optional, of course, just like everything else.
7. Sliced lamb: People add bacon to burgers, why not lamb? A little feta and a few olives and you're talking Greek burger. Drop the bun and bring on a pita pocket.
8. Cranberry sauce: Pretend it's Thanksgiving and go all out. Add some sliced turkey, a little mashed potatoes, maybe even some mashed sweet potatoes and a spoonful of dressing. Heck, you could even used ground turkey for your burger.
9. Cole slaw: In some parts of the South it's a tradition to put cole slaw on a barbecue sandwich. You can do the same with a burger, and add your favorite barbecue sauce, too. Top it with a pickle, if so inclined.
10. Buffalo sauce: Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. Bring on some chunks of blue cheese or blue cheese dressing and you're ready to rock and roll.
