I loathe tomatoes on burgers and will throw it in your face if you serve it to me.

Absolutely pointless taste wise and all that water is what makes the bread and patty move around with no respect for each other.

Ooooh them's fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

Fresh vs store bought is really a world of difference in tomatoes. Store bought tomatoes are treated with ripening chemicals, making them redden and appear ripe, but they aren't. So they taste bad. We really need a vegetable revolution in the states because for how pretty your local grocery store's produce aisle is, it's not good.
