>Make a burger too tall so you have to eat it with a knife and fork
Do Amerifats do this too or is it just pretentious "gourmet" burger joints in the UK? I've been seeing more and more of it lately

It needs to fucking stop. If a burger is stacked so high that the average adult male has to dislocate his jaw just to get get a cross section of the whole burger in each bite, then it's not a burger anymore. It's an abomination that just happens to be in a burger bun

Your description sounds just like the way it is in the US. Most burger places don't do this, but some pretentious places do.

Just smash it down until it's thin enough to fit into your mouth and floating in the puddle of grease you made by smashing it down and it's all soggy and gross. Then eat the 3 onion rings as a side.

I just press them down when its too tall but with that kebab pole it makes it impossible to eat.

>> No.9600873

I fucking hate this shit. The whole point of a sandwich is ease of eating. That's why the bread is there.

But I also find burgers are often too big for me, so I cut them in half and save the second half for later. I was 80lbs overweight, and I still felt like burgers were too goddamn big in America.

cutlery? you're supposed to eat one or two patties at a time, with your bare hands. from top to bottom.

>> No.9603161

There's way too much bullshit in that burger. I strongly dislike when people do this. A burger should be treated similarly to a pizza, the patty and bread should be the focus and what everything else hinges on. A few vegetables and some sauces, some cheese and bacon. That's all it needs. Shoving a bunch of horse shit together in one monstrous fucking mountain of food just results in a bunch of flavours competing with each other and you not being able to taste the actual burger.

They do this in hipster gourmet burger places in Ireland too. It's retarded beyond belief.

It sucks because the whole purpose of it being a burger is defeated. Burgers/sandwiches/burritos/tacos are the way they are precisely because their shape implies a comfortable way of eating without knifes and forks. Imagine me just smashing some meat and veggies together, drowning it in grease and sauce, then tearing lavash into tiny pieces and sprinkling it on top of the dish, all while calling this abomination an "exclusive/designer shawarma". Its fucking retarded.

>> No.9603583

A burger can at least be compressed easily. They're often loosly assembled to show off the ingredients, then you press it together to actually eat.

Gourmet hot dogs though, that's some fucking bullshit. Utterly inedible without cutlery. Places that serve them in hot dog baskets instead of on plates are assholes, too, you can never properly get space to cut the thing and get it on your fork without making a mess.

I agree. For fuck's sake whoever came up with the whole "let's make a burger that's stacked so high that it can't even be eaten by anyone who can't dislocate their lower jaw" should be dragged into the street and shot. Same goes for those faggots who make "Bloody Mary" drinks like pic related. I hate you all so much.

It's not meant to be eaten as a sandwich whatsoever. There are no places that serve "hot X sandwiches" without cutlery on a normal plate with sides such as mashed potatoes and veggies. There's also an "open face hot X sandwich" which is the same thing without the top piece of bread. Pretty clear it's not meant as finger food.
