Rep Power: 10 | If you make them at home they are better. Less sodium and you control the fat. |

Rep Power: 10 | I don't consider the burgers I make at home junk food. Junk food to me is more the burger, fries and soda/shakes at a fast food place. Add to that candy bars, chips, ice cream, those are junk food in my book.

Rep Power: 2 | Definitely not junk food but I can't get my burgers to taste like those in burger joints (not fast food.) I wish I knew the secret. | |

Rep Power: 10 | I just use salt and pepper. I have experimented with other things, but the kids seem to like the salt and pepper best. | |

Rep Power: 2 | They might be considered "junk" food bcause the calorie count on your typical burger is astronomical.
By the time you've added everything you like, and added another patty (!), and topped it with cheese, F-F-F-FWWWAMMM!! Uh oh, there goes the belt! Buckle shot across the room, almost putting a hole in the wall!
I avoid red meat for the most part, but I LOVE the burgers at Juicy Lucy's! Once in a while I'll do that, and ask for "extra seasoning" on the burger(s), then get out my karate gee pants...and PWAP out!
