These 15 Viral Burger Toppings Will Blow Your Mind

Burgers are a classic favorite, but why stick to the usual when you can elevate your bite with bold and exciting toppings? From sweet and spicy to rich and creamy, these trendy burger toppings will take your burger game to the next level. Get ready to discover 15 viral burger toppings that will definitely blow your mind. 

15. Potato Chips

You’ve probably tried them out before on your own, and admittedly, they’re not easy to eat. Potato Chips add crunch and flavor to burgers. They’re pretty basic to add, as you can bring your own bag of chips with you when you dine at a burger place. A close call to this is probably Subway’s SubKrunch on their sandwiches. But for burgers, there are no known fast food serving them as of now. 

14. Mac & Cheese

Why choose between two comfort foods when you can have both? The creamy, gooey Mac and Cheese piled onto a burger creates one of the best burger fillings. The soft, cheesy pasta contrasts perfectly with the crispiness of a toasted bun and the charred edges of a beef patty. You might want to check out The Cheesecake Factory and Friendly’s, as they offer a Mac & Cheese Burger.  

13. Guacamole

Guacamole may be perfect with tacos and burritos, but with a burger? Yup, it exists. Since guacamole is pretty much a dip, why not experiment it with burgers? Carl’s Jr. offered a number of Guacamole Burgers in the past, like the Guacamole Double Cheeseburger. You may also do it by yourself by simply spreading guacamole on your patty. 

12. Fried Egg

Missing those egg sandwiches that you had for breakfast back then? Add them to your burger and make sure they’re cooked sunny side up. It adds extra crunch and smokey flavor to your burger. The yellow yolk would add more texture and a saucy feel. McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is a close call, but if you really want to try those fried ones, get Whataburger’s Breakfast Burger. 

11. Pineapple

This may be a controversial take to some, but it’s arguably one of the mind-blowing burger fillings out there. Imagine a sweet, juicy pineapple on top of a grilled patty and cheese. If you want to try pineapple burger filling, then you might want to check out Jollibee’s Amazing Aloha Burger or wait until the summer for fast food restaurants to release a seasonal menu of burgers with pineapple. 

10. Coleslaw

Who knew a traditional Coleslaw could be a burger filling? Since it’s cabbage-based, Coleslaw adds crunch and creaminess to your burger. If you want to try them out, then your best bet is Bonchon’s Korean-Style Chicken Sandwich, which includes Coleslaw on top of the juicy chicken. 

9. Pastrami

Who says that Pastrami only belongs to deli sandwiches? Pastrami Burger is actually considered one of Utah’s classic dishes. They make the perfect pair with a charbroiled quarter-pound beef patty, onion, and sauce. The OG restaurant for this is Crown Burgers since they make their Pastrami in-house. 

8. Truffle Aioli

Truffle Aioli is a condiment that is made out of fresh truffles (a kind of mushroom), mayonnaise, and lemon juice. It gives out an earthy but, at the same time, sweet taste to your patty in every bite. A close fast food burger is Shake Shack’s Black Truffle Burger. However, it’s currently phased out since it’s just a limited-time offering.

7. Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter lovers, rejoice! Your favorite spread perfectly matches with burgers. It gives off a nutty and a little bit of sweet taste in every bite. Although the texture may be a bit weird on the tongue, but the combination of juiciness plays the part well. SONIC Drive-In used to serve a Peanut Butter Bacon Burger last year, but it has been pulled out since. 

6. Candied Jalapeño

Ever tried a Candied Jalapeño? If not, then you might want to pair them with a burger for your first time. Candied Jalapeño is actually a relish that’s guacamole-like. It gives off a sweet and spicy taste with every bite. No fast food restaurant is currently offering a Candied Jalapeño Burger, so you might want to make your own.

5. Wasabi

If you want a different kind of spice on your burger, Wasabi is the way to go. Its spice is different from chili since they’re part of the horseradish family. If you want them lighter, then you can create a Wasabi mayonnaise instead. As of now, there’s no burger filled with Wasabi, so you can just create your own or add a wasabi to your fast food burger.

4. Curry Sauce

A burger is flavorful enough, so how much more would you add curry sauce? Believe it or not, it’s possible. What’s nice about it is that it can be mixed with other ingredients to make it even more flavorful. 🤣 Burger King used to have them as a limited-time menu back in 2022.

3. Kimchi

Looking for a unique flavor to add to your burger? Give Kimchi a try! It’s a Korean side dish that is made of fermented cabbage with spices that make it tangy and a bit spicy. Unfortunately, no fast food restaurant currently serves a Kimchi Burger, so you might want to create your own at home by buying a jar of Kimchi at a grocery store or buying authentic homemade ones from Asian marts. 

2. Broccoli

If you hate broccoli, then you might probably close your eyes at the idea of a Broccoli Burger. It features charred broccoli combined with cheddar cheese and patties. A vegetarian patty made out of broccoli may actually be a better idea, but hey, we’re free to be creative. No fast food currently serves broccoli, so you might want to do it yourself at home.

1. Marshmallow Spread

Calling all sweet tooth out there, how about a Marshmallow Spread Burger? It was originally created by the Canadian restaurateur Sam Zien, known as Sam The Cooking Guy, at Tony’s Lunch restaurant in Pennsylvania. It’s called The Fluff Screamer, where marshmallow fluff spread is added on top of the patty, making the burger huge.
