I was just at a McDonalds (Tucson, Arizona). I ordered 3 cheeseburgers and was driving away. Luckily I took a bite out of one before I left the parking lot. It had catsup (I doubt McD uses ketchup) and mustard on it. Huh?
I went back in and asked what was up. The manager told me that all McDonalds in Arizona put mustard on all hamburgers and cheeseburgers.
I doubt even the mustard companies know about this. Ever see a mustard commercial which people eating hamburgers? Usually hotdogs and turkey sandwiches.
I checked with Wendy's and they also put mustard on all hamburgers that don't have bacon. They say that it is too salty with the bacon and the mustard.
Is there any place else in the world where this is normal? I thought all Americans ate hamburgers with ketchup and hotdogs with mustard.

They have to add something to fast food as the meat itself has no flavor....
Ugh! Catsup on a hamburger? I always preferred it the other way around--catsup on a hotdog, mustard on a hamburger! (And give me just mayo and lots of pepper on a turkey sandwich, please!)
Seriously, I think both sandwiches lend themselves well to an individual's personal preferences. My favorite hamburger toppings are mustard (French's, not dijon!), pickle, lettuce and onion. Hotdogs--mustard, onion and relish and sometimes a little catsup. A lot of restaurants in the South offered hamburgers fixed with mayo, catsup, lettuce and onion (not a bad combo either...).
I remember that Jack's Hamburgers, back in the mid-60s, offered mustard on their burgers. (Those were good burgers in those days, folks! Pre-MacD. days...). And the MacDonald's everywhere I've ever lived (AL, MS, GA, and MD) all put mustard on their hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Of course the dabs are so small, you'd hardly notice...

Eatem that way in Portland, OR. to. The far West is exempt from that North/South thingy. Or is it because my 1st wife was from Georgia?

On my hamburgers or cheeseburgers I like pickles,lettuce and onions and lots of mayo, and if i'm really feeling fancy some bacon slices.On my Dogs it's lots of mayo cheese and onions. I always order them the same way wherever I go.

I never said that I only have them one way. I put anything in the fridge on my burgers: salsa, pickle chips, mayo, ranch dressing, onions, etc. Whatever I find and are in the mood for. I was just really surprized that this was the default in the South.
They put mustard and catsup on all hamburgers served. Not one or the other.
As for pizza, look out. Ham and pinapple, sure. Taco pizza, sure. Chicken and broccoli, deffinately. Anything you find that looks interesting, no problem.
I dunno....I'm just not that structured when it comes to condiments, although catsup on a hot dog or my god, a good bratwurst makes me turn away in horror.

Ray, when I was a kid, many years ago, I used to always have mustard on my hamburgers, and ketchup on my hot dogs. We're not all of the same taste. think of what a boring world it'd be...
Well yes..mustard on hamburgers is totally normal. In fact where I was raised if you wanted mayonnaise on a hamburger you was forced to order what was called a "Sissy Burger". Ketchup was never stanard on any kind of sandwich..burger etc. Was only used for fried potatoes.

You know Ray, I got my first hamburger from McD in about 62 I believe and guess what?! It had mustard and ketchup on it!!!! Quick check with a friend revealed that McD has been using the same condiments on their various products since Ray Kroc purchased the first stores from the McDonald bros in California, and made it a chain nation-wide....

Great to see your tribute to Mark. Too bad the guy that killed him killed himself too. He would have been a good candidate for some good ole' fasioned ass kicking and torture before he was ALLOWED to die. I didn't know Mark. I'm just a fellow Seattle-ite type.

Try this one. Mine and my wife's little simple invention and very favorite burger. Form ground beef into patties and brown (best if grilled on a pit). Top with Swiss cheese, grilled purple onions, and spicy brown mustard. Serve on toasted rye bread. Um!!!

After all this reading I'm reminded of the Abbot & Costello <sp> routine about Worcestershire sauce on Hot Dogs putting all of the mustard workers into the poor house.........
