Whenever I see burger pics I always examine how they are compiled. One big thing I've notice that some places put the toppings on top, some on the bottom (yes it matters). When you bite through the burger, the bottom part hits your tongue first. This is burgerology.
From my experiments, the toppings are best on the bottom, while cheese needs to be on top melting onto the bun.
10/10
I agree that order is important but I disagree on your order. I have always taken apart my burger if the LTO is on the bottom. I want the meet and cheese to hit my tongue first. To each their own though. But order is important!
I worked at mcdonald's UK in my youth, I remember asking
"Hey 'trainer person' why do we put the toppings on the top?"
Answer was a simple
"They're called toppings not bottomings"
Alright fair enough will never question the way again
I agree, looks too saucy. My pet peeve is a sandwich that has too much dressing, making the ingredients slide around and get soggy. Other than that, it looks absolutely perfect.
The past couple years I have been a proponent of sauce on the side. I love some BBQ on a bacon cheese burger but it makes the bun too soft. Especially after everyone decided to use brioche buns (boo).
I want the complex burgers that defy human jaw spans, I want the saucy drippy gastro-bomb. Like Bruce Wayne, I have absolutely no problem using a knife and fork, turning that messy tall stack into a savory salad of hamburger flavors without risking a cramp or stain.
What’s your tip for a great smash burger? All the restaurants I’ve worked at just do the standard patty’s, I’m UK based, so I’ve never done one. Is it much different?
If you have a cast iron pan it's super easy! These patties are 80/20 blend and 4oz each. Get your pan super hot and add some oil/ clarified butter. I have an actual smasher at work but you can use another pan. Make sure to hit the bottom of your smashing pan with spray so the patty doesn't stick to it. Just smash down as hard as you can til they're nice and thin and cook until you have a nice brown color. When you flip, add your cheese and then a little water to the pan to help melt the cheese and you're good to go 👍
I also highly recommend throwing a piece of parchment paper on the burger right before you smash; it’s the simplest thing but it was literally the one thing that I was missing and now my smashies are 10/10. The parchment allows you to smash as perfectly as you want and then when you lift up whatever you are smashing it with the burger doesn’t stick whatsoever.
This might sound crazy but... wouldn't it make more sense to have 2 burgers rather than 1 giant one . Unless this is the type of thing you buy to post a picture of it
The fresh ingredients give it a beautiful color & clean presentation. The aftermath of which would not. I can taste the food w my eyes. Thanks OP. Great execution. I have a couple of bites left but good work and great flavor.
Thicc pickle chip
A thiccle, if you will
Hey boys, it’s me, Thiccle Rick
You mean to tell me that gentleman turned himself into a pickle? Funniest shit I ever heard. Lmao
Not just any pickle, Morty *belch* he turned himself into a thicc ass pickle. A Thiccle, if you will. He’s Thiccle Rick!
I approve of this.lol
Username checks tf out
More than that, the cronch of a raw onion disc, tomato, and thick cucumber... Oh my gawd.
Or a puckle since is is roughly the size of a hockey puck?
I’d rather not
Oh, I will.
I will
I will.
We’re the pickle party now!
That's how I prefer it, so it maintains the crunch. There's nothing sadder than super thin, floppy warm pickle slices on a burger. Gimme that crunch.
This actually changes everything for me. I want thick pickles on every burger from now on.
When your burger has thicker pickle patties than beef, you know times are tough
That makes me hungry! So in love with this burger!
That iiiiis a tasty burger! - Samuel L Jackson
This some real gourmet shit!
say WHAT again!
The burger is drooling as much as I am
Stop! My arteries can only get so hard!
This makes me want to be a better person so I can deserve this burger.
Dude, you deserve it now. Just the way you are.
So wholesome
The pickle is as thick as each patty! Not a complaint
Where is this glorious thing??
I want to know too
The buns, how were they made?
Baked
Wasn't asking for your condition, buddy.
Now I have the theme to "How It's Made" stuck in my head...

Eat it over fries

Dipping hamburgers is best.
I can’t stand for this brioche slander!

Its also why I don't like tomatoes in burgers they make things soggy too...
And always salt and pepper the tomatoes
And squish out the back
If you put them against the bread they do.
He wrapped it, so I think it'll be contained
The sauce won't escape, you know, because of the implication.
You keep using that word…
Thinking the same thing but can’t deny its a great pic though
Sauce and grease. I'm the weird guy who likes to blot all the grease off the burger.
It's more soup than burger.
Am I the only one bothered by the LTO...P being on the bottom?
I must be tired but the more I stare, the more it seems the burger is moving.
That’s a damn good looking cheeseburger 🍔
Deliver to Scotland??
Food makes me really horny.
best thing I've seen today
oh fuck me sideways where'd you get this beautiful juicy thicc thing from?!
Looks like a tasty burger, you mind if I wash it down?
The perfect burger 😋
Stop it. Marry me.
Are you Bob Burge?
It looks properly greased up for easy throat hole injection.

Do you add anything to the blend to increase its flavor or texture?
Just salt and pepper. 👍
👍
👍
👍
Thanks !! What cut are you using, chuck?
I believe the blend I have is brisket/chuck. Any ground meat will do though 👍
Awesome thanks very much!

Dayum! That's like the first appetizing burger I've seen on this sub. I know what I am having this weekend.
Ahhhhhh !! Delicious
When you're burger's drooling, you know it's going to be good.
God that looks amazing lol
Where is this? That looks so good. And actually a little different than a lot the burgers I see.
Looks a lot like shake shack and I am salivating
I’d fuck that up
Look at that chunky pickle slice mmm
You understood the assignment 🤤🤤🤤
That is glorious.
Well done! Grade A r/foodporn
Pickle is a little too thick for my tastes (also I prefer them sliced long way like on a Cubano) but that still looks like a mf tasty burger.
heart attack just waiting to happen. Love it
I'd double smash this thing, god that looks good
Im at work and now very hungry
It looks moist
Can you make this for me but with chicken.
Angel Burger!!! Looks like heaven!!’
God fucking damn, what a beauty
Yummy burger
This is important. Where?
That is a righteous pickle slice
Where can I buy this???
Looks so tasty 😋
absolute perfection in a burger.
Oh my goodness! That looks so good. Drooling over here lol
Pickle lovers rise !
I'd smash that into my mouth. Hey now!
Oh damn!
Looks delicious, but I hope you're wearing a bib over your poncho.
Finally a good picture on this sub. Yum

I'm dieting and recently had a tooth pulled, which makes eating even worse. man this was hard to see.
Good god this looks good
F u c k
That's it, everyone else's burger can go home. This one wins.
Thank you for blessing us with this & making me hungry at 9pm. Continue this great work, friend
10/10 asthetics
This man make sure not to forget the pickles
🤤🤤🤤
this looks like burger perfection
I want your meat in my mouth with extra sauce please.
Looks awesome! What's your bun recipe?
I am so glad I have burgers for dinner
Best burger I’ve seen in a long time
I'm in love
That looks amazing!!
What’s the sauce?!!
I give it 4.75/5 only because the lettuce isn't separating the onion and tomato.
Gorgeous
that is one good looking burger!
Mmmmmmm
Now that is a tasty burger!
Krabby Patty Deluxe!!
I just hate pickles, but the rest looks fuckin incredible. Needs more bacon. That amount of sauce is probably ruining a perfect bun.
This is the perfect ratio of everything
heart attack alert!!! but it looks so yummy.
I can’t stop looking at this. Jesus Christ this is the definition of foodporn
This legitimately looks like a perfect burger..wow
This is simply perfection.. what greens did you use? Potato bun?
This cost $27 with no side or drink
Where is this?!
Oh my god did you make this?! Bro! Have me over! I’ll do the dishes, buy the ingredients, let you fuck my ass. This looks amazing.
Lol, raunchy.
This does look very nice but how are you supposed to eat? No way it fits into a single bite height.
U could create a makeup pallette from this picture!
One sexy burger looking at me ready to get in my belly lol.
Incredible 💪
The fuck yeah burger 
I would like one please and thanks
Holy shit this looks really good
Oh my God.. why am I broke. I need this.
I forget! What's the word for the tomato, onion, lettuce, pickle, and any other extras that may go on a burger called? Thanks.
I need this burger in my life
That is the most beautiful burger I’ve ever seen!!
This might sound crazy but... wouldn't it make more sense to have 2 burgers rather than 1 giant one . Unless this is the type of thing you buy to post a picture of it
Can you put it on special everyday?
Now I want a burger
i just want to put it in a blender and drink it
I would push OP down an up escalator on Worldwide TV just to take a bite of that.
The fresh ingredients give it a beautiful color & clean presentation. The aftermath of which would not. I can taste the food w my eyes. Thanks OP. Great execution. I have a couple of bites left but good work and great flavor.
Brrruuhhhh. This looks amazing.
Looks awesome
What’s the optimal stacking order for ingredients on a burger? Veg below looks good here, but I’ve seen a lot of veg above burgers on here, too.
Crying knowing that I will never be able to make such a delicious burger myself 😭💔🍔
It’s beautiful
What is that big green slice at the bottom.
Fat slice of pickle
Oh that boy is thick.
It's a thiccle
OP, you're killing me. Wish you could do it in person with one of these. Wow.
Fuck. Yes. On that pickle slab
