Edit: It will never cease to make me laugh that I get more genuinely serious discussion comments on my meme posts in /c/Memes than anywhere else. I'm not hating, I love it.

It’s in comparison, the plate you’re eating off of is the closest thing to compare it to so covering more of it makes it seem bigger

This is why buffets use small plates

But if it is wider it cooks through more. A nice thick patty gives me a nice tasty medium rare burger that soaks the bun with burger juice.

At a certain point you have to cut the burger like a pizza though

But wider = more taste surface. See smash burgers. Taller is just... more burger to toppings ratio. Diminishing returns, imo.

So the ideal burger is basically the size and shape of a pancake.

Nah. If you put two plates in front of me and one had a regular burger on it and the other had a burger that was as wide as the plate itself, I'd pick the one that most accurately reflects how much I hate myself at that moment.

Schlotzky's proved this out decades ago.

I mean, humans completely suck at evaluating vertical distances, thinking that taller = more is just further evidence, I'd say

In my boyfriend's hometown they used to have this restaurant that served this thing called a hubcap burger

And it was indeed, wide enough to be the hubcap of a car, while being basically flat.

Alternatively, I’ve had something similar on holiday in South Tyrol.

Well I'm on an island in the ocean in Canada and with no car. You coming to pick me up?
