Title: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 10:01:00 Don't get me wrong - I fucking love a good burger. And I am also rather partial to large meals.
But WTF is it with these huge burgers so large that you can't possibly open your mouth wide enough to eat? Like this: (https://i.imgur.com/QKYXisS.png) What's the fucking point? How is one supposed to eat it without sitting on the fucker first? Pricks. Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: 4D on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 10:28:07 You pull the stick out and press the bun down with your hand. :)
I get your point though. Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Broadbents Tackle on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 10:28:28 Not to mention the onion rings in a bin, We want plates!

Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Legends-Lounge on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 10:45:33 I suggest you don’t watch Diners, Drive-ins & Dives then. I do agree with the OP. I suppose it’s to show the customers that they’re getting something exceptional rather than just laying it out on one level on a plate.
Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Miles Mayhem on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:03:29 TBH that burger does look really nice.
Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:06:27 TBH that burger does look really nice. It does. It looks amazing. It's eating it that's the problem. Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:17:30 Just woke up after a big night. Right now that burger is the salve I crave. They are a fucking pain though.
Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Nemo on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:21:50 To be fair they never look like that in practice. In the photos, a Big Mac looks like it would struggle to fit in your mouth, but once served it's about half the height. Food photography is like witchcraft.

In the photos, a Big Mac looks like it would struggle to fit in your mouth, but once served it's about half the height. Food photography is like witchcraft. I have seen many like that. I end up having to dismantle it just to eat it. It's something I check for no before going to a new place.

It's something I check for no before going to a new place. I always have to dismantle a burger first in order to get rid of the fucking tomato. Absolutely no place for them in burgers Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:55:13 Burgers need to be wider, not taller.
Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 11:55:45 Another no to tomato too, meat and cheese only.

Absolutely no place for them in burgers And pickles. But I always tell them that I want one without. If you're in a fast food joint, you have the added benefit of having a fresh one made for you instead of those that are pre-made and left in the warming thingamy for 15 minutes. Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: swindonmaniac on Sunday, February 21, 2021, 12:24:37 Another no to tomato too, meat and cheese only.

Can definitely relate to the how the hell do I eat this dilemma. I generally take it apart or use a knife and fork. I've got it down my shirt before which was a pisser as I was going to a gig after so go cautiously now.

I do agree though that anything that doesn't fit into you mouth in one bite is unnecessary, i can't be dealing with a burger that ends up falling out of the bun and your left with a mess on the plate. That said, i'd love to go to Vegas and try the quadruple bypass at the heart attack grill.

Title: Re: Big burgers - a gripe Post by: michael on Monday, February 22, 2021, 13:08:12 Tomatoes, gerkins (/pickles), lettuce, raw red onion, cheese, wack it all in there please. Most importantly though, let's have that bun toasted. The crustiness of it gives a bit of structure to the bread to hold all those delicious juices in.
