Creative condiments
• Chili sauce, salsa or barbecue sauce instead of ketchup.
• Russian, honey or Dijon-style mustard instead of ballpark mustard.
• Corn or zucchini relish instead of regular relish.
• Include lots of fresh veggies, such as watercress, arugula, alfalfa sprouts or sliced avocado.

Gourmet toppers

• Sliced Swiss or fontina cheese, Brie, herbed cream cheese, crumbled blue or feta cheese.
• Sautéed mushrooms or onions, pesto, olive tapenade, tzatziki, or guacamole.

More than a bun

• Sandwich burgers in split focaccia, pita pockets, tortilla wraps, sour dough, pumpernickel or rye rolls.
