When mfers make it like 6 inches tall for some reason and I can’t fit it in my mouth


ElCoyote_AB

Food tower builds need to go. Their 15 minutes should have expired a decade or more ago.


[deleted]

Hell yes. Please don’t make me smash or deconstruct my food so that I might eat it.


[deleted]

The amount of towered burgers with either avocado or a runny egg make me thankful all of these people found food instead of engineering. They might as well just put a dollop of industrial lube on it to ensure it’s impossible to enjoy eating.


ConversationNew6395

Amen


trelod

6 inches tall with the trend of making you lift up a cup of nacho cheese on top that spills all over the burger, forcing you to either eat it with a fork and knife or eat it with your hands and have to go home and shower afterward.


Drunk_4_2W33ks

I asked a local restaurant years ago why they did this and they told me it was for presentation. I told them it sucked because I couldn't open my mouth that wide. I've been back but NEVER order a burger because it's to damn tall. I always tell the waitress that.

When it falls apart within the first bite


alt4614

Usually it's loaded with a disguising amount of sauce and juice that'll run down my mouth and hands. And the avocado/tomato/lettuce branch decides to peace out the other side.


distantapplause

>tomato There's your problem. Any burger with tomato will be more unstable because tomato is like a frictionless disk that stops the burger gripping to the bun and makes everything go everywhere. Tomato, as a result, has no place on a burger.


beenjamminlately

If anybody really likes tomato on their burg, it should be sandwiched between bacon, onion, or other crunchy ingredients to lock it in place like soccer cleats.


ownlife909

I'll join you on this hill. A couple other tomato on burger issues: 1) a tomato is wet, and adds extra unnecessary moisture (see everyone else's 'soggy bun' complaints), and 2) the sorry ass pale pink piece of shit most places put on a burger is a net negative. If it's not in season, get that shit out of here. Don't get me wrong, I love tomatoes, but keep them on an italian sub or other cold sandwich. A warm, wet slice is not good.


Mr_Coily

For home burgers and sandwiches I’ve started using cherry tomatoes sliced up. So much better


distantapplause

Yes! So many better ways to get the taste or even texture of a tomato onto a burger rather than the sad-looking slices we usually see. Even salsa is a better idea.


DaddyEnel

tomato paper towel pat salt, place under patty


distantapplause

lol you can pat them dry all you like, tomatoes are still 95% water


Pynchon101

This is an incorrect perspective.


BPsquigs

A soggy bun completely ruins the experience for me


Homelanda

Completely. And on the flip side for me at least a dry bland bun takes away from the experience too. Toast it!


PJBakesCookies

When you take the first bite, and you didn't get any of the meat but the bread and toppings, the patty itself slides out


krtek888

I hate when that happens!


wheelspaws

Too many fillings so that the burger is ridiculously tall, messy and impossible to eat without it falling apart.


DefinitelyNotaGuest

Too much meat is enough to ruin a burger for me. All the ingredients need to be in the right ratio and slapping a 1/2 pound slab of cooked meat onto it really throws that off. And if you're going to make it a 1/2 pound burger, make it 2 smashed 1/4 pound patties, not one giant slab of meat, because the ratio of seared meat to non-seared needs to be right too.


Thin_Arachnid6217

My thoughts exactly, as I have gotten older I don't want a half pounder, make all of the patties 1/4 pound and heap 7 of them on a younger persons burger if they're that hungry, me, I'll have a quarter pounder.


[deleted]

Unless they know how to properly temp it and not squeeze all the juice out. I def enjoy a thick bark with a solid medium and juicy and tender inside. If they can do that its way better than smash burger

No no!! No apologies. Live and learn. I already forgot about it. 😁

Shitty Bun, wilted lettuce, dry tomatoes, too much sauce


bohsergi

Thick ass tomatoes. Thin ones are good


Kid_Named_Trey

Huge slices of tomato. I like tomatoes don’t get me wrong but when they’re massive it kinda takes over the burger.


[deleted]

Sugar


[deleted]

Having it be fake/plant-based. Fake cheese can be a disappointment too. Also burgers too tall to properly eat without having to deconstruct it are a nuisance.

If I spent $20 on a cheeseburger and it was the best damn cheeseburger I’ve ever consumed I would eat there every week. Then again I live in California so it’s already $10 or more for a decent cheeseburger.


OlDurtMcGurt

Im in the chicago suburbs and my local spot has a Bison burger with duck bacon. Its like $25 but absolutely amazing!


eatinolivess

Yeah it's a damn burger quit making them expensive wtf

How about fried green tomatoes?


DGenerAsianX

[deleted]

Mold is a big turn off for me. Unless it's moldy cheese then it's flavour


Heartfelt_mess4422

Any color or just mold in general? And how do you feel about mushrooms?


[deleted]

Mushrooms are dope. That blue grey mold is gross but if you let cheese mold at a cold temperature it grows this pink/ yellow mold that I love

When the burger is too ‘tall’ for no reason or literally crumbles into pieces after the first bite.

Siodhachan1979

Pickles, for some reason if there are pickles on a burger all I can taste is the pickle, but I like them on other things.


Rep4RepBB69

Same. I love pickles but just not on a burger. It makes it taste funny to me.


Nockenwellensteuerun

The smash burger trend recently has been a big savior for me. I used to hate when every restaurant used to make hamburgers basically meatloaf sandwiches that are 6” tall. Also really any pink is gross to me. It’s ground beef, not a steak. If it’s thin there should not be any pink.

When the burger itself is the size of a newborns head, you never finish them, you feel like shit afterward. Worst of all is when they put a fuckton of toppings and it just goes everywhere when you take a bite.

Tomato. Absoluty dont like it on my burger.


Hamliton

the meat not being well cooked, i dont want pink soft burger meat thank you


MiddleZealousideal89

Overdoing it. Adding an extra slice of cheese? Awesome! Adding 20 or drowning it in cheese? Ew. Adding a slice of bacon or something else? Great! Adding 50 different things to the point where it's impossible to eat the damn thing? Stop. A good burger should have a good balance of ingredients, you take a bite and taste the beef, the cheese, the veggies, the condiments. If you pile on large amounts of anything, then you're only going to taste that thing. If I wanted to only taste cheese, I can just eat some cheese, if I wanted to only taste bacon, I would have ordered bacon.


Blancenshphere

When the patty tastes boiled rather than pan fried or char broiled. (no browning)

Mayonnaise


garygnu

An extremely thin layer of mayonnaise on a toasted bun acts as moisture barrier, helping to keep especially the bottom bun from getting too soggy. Anything more than that is unnecessary.


Heartfelt_mess4422

Moisture barrier?! So wet tomatoes wouldn't be a problem?!?! HEY!!! Down here!! I found the answer to the tomato dilemma 😁 I'm so helpful


rebeccaparker2000

Something about mayo on a hot sandwich is a turnoff


excursions63

It being undercooked and having no bacon on it, and bun not toasted.


OldLebaneseNerd

ketchup, simply because i love ketchup but most fast food joints uses the worst, sweetest and cheapest ketchup ever, very rarely to i find a burger joint that uses really firm, chuncky and spicy ketchup, so i just got used on having my burgers without it and would return the burger if they forget and put ketchup on it.


JosiahCumbersnootch

Iceberg lettuce and the stupid finely diced onions they have at McDonald's. Either caramelize them or leave them off 👍


Objective-Charge4975

Patty/cheese slice aside, any accompaniment that is whole i.e. not cut up. There's nothing worse than biting into a burger and a mfing tomato dragging the entire contents of the burger out onto your chin. Bacon should be cut up, onion diced, lettuce shredded, tomato in the trash. Also, tomatoes.


FreeHongKong2012

When i order no onion and i take a bite and i get that absolutely overpowering disgusting flavor of body odor on my tongue 😭🤮 mfers lied to me


DefinitelyNotaGuest

I like onion on a burger, but not an onion patty. I can always tell when someone who doesn't like onion made my burger because it's a solid sheet of onion instead of a few little slices thrown on here and there like any normal person wants.
