I come from a country where burgers get wider, not taller.

I want a place that makes tiny burgers

Forget the premium burger places where burgers are held together by whaling harpoons and you need to eat them deconstructed. Instead of one giant undesirable burger give me a plate with 4 regular sized burgers in exciting variations.

Give me a chicken chili burger, a double irish beef patty blue cheese burger, an italian herb lamb patty and as a chaser a smoked bison brisket with bourbon sauce.

All on one plate. I would be happy

4 burgers. 1 plate. 0 regrets.

And if you don't like one, you have 3 more chances to forgive the cook.

As a person who cannot unhook my jaw in the same way that a snake is able to, I am all for the idea of wider, flatter burgers.

I'll take whatever gets my beard the least messy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I was on your side until that gibberish about Chicago style pizza.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Chilis used to make a Terlingua Pride Burger, it was wide AF. It was kinda fun, but the bun got soggy before you could finish it and it would start to fall apart.

Still miss it, though.

if i'm hungry enough to want a huge burger, i'd rather have two reasonably sized burgers instead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want a burger with the least amount of surface area.

How do you think it would be constructed? A meatball between two regular buns? A meatball wrapped in buns? Or, perhaps, a bun core, a meatball mantle, and a bun crust?

Learn how to cook.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nobody said it. So be it...

A regular size, ⅓lb burger is plenty for anybody. If it was unsatisfying, use better ingredients or stronger flavours.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because nobody is asking that or you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Get away from me, satan. No burger tastes as good as being able to see my own junk without a mirror

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Big burgers should just be two burgers

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we use a hotdogs to make a bridge between the two hamburger castles?

What have you done? What have you permitted?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Which sold better, the whopper (wider) or the big Mac(taller)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I am going to assume big mac only on the basis that McDonalds has more sites. Whopper tastes better though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Literally at my restaurant right now the burger with 3 smaller patties is more popular than the burger with 2 bigger patties. Same total amount of meat, just taller on a smaller bun...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

People are stupid.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Well yeah I'd want that meat in three smaller patties instead of two larger ones. More maillard reaction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Especially sucks for people with jaw problems who can't open their mouth that wide. But you're totally wrong about deep dish pizza

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pizza casserole isn't bad but it also isn't pizza really, it's a casserole they pretend is pizza. It's just like those cake doughnuts, they aren't doughnuts, they're batternuts, and that's fine but Dunkin needs to quit lying to everyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its pizza because it takes the form of pizza and is called pizza

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah that's just it, it's pizza stuff in the form of a casserole, therefore casserole.

Unless you just mean "thick bread crust" then sure but that isn't deep dish, real deep dish is like a bread bowl casserole.

Except it's called pizza and looks like pizza so it's in the form of pizza.

Detroit style deep dish is also deep dish, but yeah not Chicago style deep dish

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yes and "vegan cheese" is cheese? The DPRK is democratic? Chinese Checkers are from China? French Fries are from france? Pencil lead is actually Pb? Koala bears are actually bears? Star fish are fish? Just because some moron who didn't know any better named something inappropriately doesn't mean they're right.

Besides it being called pizza, it actually doesn't look much like real pizza contrary to your claims. I also would be hard pressed to call lunchables pizza "real pizza" despite the visual similarities and name, simply imitating the name or look does not a pizza make.

And eeeehhhhh "deep dish" is Chicago deep dish, detroit pan style is pan style. If you want to say "well a pan is a dish" and be pedantic so you can claim a worse style then fine but you're doing yourself a disservice trying to equate it to the Chicago style just for the name recognition. Detroit doesn't need to ride Chicago's coattails, their pizza is already better, and chicago's isn't even pizza, as I've mentioned.

It's true. I'm a bartender. When I serve a drink in a to-go cup I sometimes get people bitching "oh, that's all I get?" and then I passive aggressively demonstrate to them that it's the same as it would be in a pint glass but it's just shorter and wider.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

If they wanted a good deal, they should have stayed at home and drank alone in the basement. Works for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Don't fucking people do anything for themselves anymore. I mean this is like a service economy right so everybody's just going around wiping each other's buttholes and passing Around 20 bucks.. Just like having to explain the most elementary things, you know, it's just ridiculous. Like having you ever just like drank whiskey out of like any fucking thing you can find. But then you're trying to be responsible and you measure it out. But then you end up drinking like half or all the bottle. Clearly, in a normal cup, a shot of whiskey looks like nothing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

It's fucked up, because those same people will buy a daiquiri without second thought.
