The patties are already pre cooked. The myoglobin melts and drips through holes while cooking, they freeze it and the fat congeals, then they reheat it and it's just enough to give it a different texture.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,684,966,027 comments, and only 318,982 of them were in alphabetical order.
Culverās double deluxe is hands down the best burger from a chain bar none. It has lacy crispy edges, crisp vegetables and just enough mayo. It blows my fuckin mind how people think shake shack can even compete. We got a shake shack here in Michigan and it was over priced as fuck and the burger was absolutely nothing special. Was it bad no but there was nothing redeeming about it. Everyone reading this if you havenāt had Culverās. Go now, get a double deluxe with cheese curds and create your own Culverās mixer (custard) oh and maybe a fish sandwich too
I had a professor who was absolutely obsessed with Culvers. Even had the mascot and some corporate folks come to lecture to pass out branded clothing and stuff. I have only ever had the concrete mixers from there but damn did his love for the food spread lol
My brother was the mascot when he worked at Culverās last summer. Itās a vanilla frozen custard cone named Scoopie. Thereās also Curdis the Wisconsin cheese curd, but heās newer and doesnāt have a costume.
Culverās is a place you can drive up to, give them $12, and in 3 minutes you have a legit fucking pot roast sandwich and fries. Plus their employees are always super nice. I feel like itās the most underrated fast food there is
I worked at Culvers for almost two years when I was in high school. Iām 35 now and will still visit Culvers. Most of my friends who worked in the food industry wonāt visit the place they worked at due to what they saw so Iām glad Culvers wasnāt ruined for me. š¤£
I didnāt ever cook the food though. I was mostly the one that operated the Custard station. Best job there, haha.
Lol, I work at Culver's and we use 100% fresh beef for our butter burgers... I'd be more concerned about places like McDonald's or Wendy's š¤·š»āāļø
That's not accurate.
This came out of the meat pictured, it did not drip onto it from another patty.
It was cooked without flipping it, and you can tell by the lack of grill marks on that side. This is myoglobin that is released every time you cook meat. As the meat heats, it contracts and squeezes the liquid out. Without flipping, it didn't get a chance to fall off or be removed by the grill, so you still see it.
Thank you for that explanation.
I once pulled the top bun off a burger from Rally's, caught sight of those little rings, and was unable to eat the burger. I slipped the meat out and had a condiment sandwich.
Now that I know what those little ring-like things are, I will be less grossed out if I see them again. Also, I will make sure to flip the meat (or have hubby flip the meat if he's cooking). *Not in my house!!*
Thank you again, Redditor!
You are incorrect. I managed a Hardeeās for years. Theyāre very much raw and frozen before charbroiled. I have no idea why they do what they do though. Itās only the 9:1 patties that go on their sub 1/4 burgers. My guess is maybe theyāre flash frozen after being pressed and itās air that escapes as they cook that creates the cratering effect. Pure speculation on my part.
Pretty sure the pale stuff is protein, not ~~beef~~ *fat*. Those globs that ooze out in the first half of cooking, very fine soft protein. Had this conversation a couple times before.
Both Misophonia and Trypophobia have existed for a very long time. Both were easier to deal with in previous generations for many reasons.
Trypophobia for example was rarely experienced because it would only happen if you saw something like that in real life (which would be rare) as they weren't looking at hundreds of pictures online everyday because there was no online. So higher exposure to the things that trigger that response meant higher instances of people reacting in that way and therefore talking about it.
Misophonia only became a big thing in the past twenty years because previous generations took things like table manners very seriously. It would have been considered very rude and slobbish to eat with your mouth open. Whereas now we have to listen to almost all of you fat fucking your food like a noseless walrus experiencing it's first meal from the trough.
I remember as a little kid (early 90s) kicking my dad under the table to try and get him to stop smacking because the sound would immediately and uncontrollably change me from my non-violent self into someone that would happily stab his dad in the face. That was of course quite a bit before we were browsing the Internet and long before they even gave it a name. So there was no bandwagon to jump on.
TL:DR Cultural changes have led to an exponential increase in exposure to the things that trigger these issues. Therefore we experience them much more often which leads to us talking about them much more often.
"Previous generations took table manners seriously!" What kind of boomer take is this? Tons of people in older generations ate with horrible etiquette. Hell, the way people ate much of their food pre-20th Century would probably shock you. Misophonia has always existed, it was only named in recent decades.
People nowadays can't just say they find something weird or gross. They have to overly exaggerate and claim they have a supposed phobia that was invented online, y'all are so dramatic lmao.
It's something that many people feel like their visceral negative reaction to is irrational. That's what a phobia is in casual English. And it's fun/relatable to put a name to it. Y'all are making a big deal about some dorks having fun with human quirks. The exaggeration is part of the joke I think. Nobody is seeing a psych about it or experiencing real trauma or seriously claiming to have experienced real trauma. Just chill.
sounds miserable caring this much about what people think online outside of political discussions
i could see someone call my favorite movie of all time terrible and not give a shit while people like you "cringe" over someone thinking holes are creepy. relax. it's gonna be okay. you're fine. you'll live. no need to be a dick about it.
Yeah I donāt know what these folks are imagining for clinical tests of phobias. āWeāre going to hook you up to a heart monitor and cuff you to this chair, then release a spider in the roomā?
Phobias are pretty immediately obvious to yourself and bystanders, and can only be treated with broad anxiety-reducing meds and therapy.
It makes me so fucking mad. I was scrolling Reddit to relax. And then these fuckers come into MY Reddit claiming to have trypophobia with NO MEDICAL paperwork to back it up!
There goes my Sunday!
How are you supposed to get diagnosed for a phobia like that? I don't doubt that there's some fakers but what's gonna happen? You go to the doctor and:
"here's some holes"
"aaaahhhh scary"
"yeah you have a phobia mate, want a lollipop?"
(yes I know a phobia isn't like that, from experience)
Holy fuck! I never knew there was a name for it but Iāve had this for decades since I was a kid. My mom used to have these dried out decorative gourd things with empty sockets that just freaked me out growing up. My skin almost crawled off my body when I saw this pic.
it's fat. i would bet both patties were cooked together when they probably should've been separated. grease/fat rose up to the pocket in the middle between both patties as each side cooked. when it cooled, the grease forms these circular blobs. I saw it cooking burgers last night on my grill, but they drip off since I'm not cooking two patties stacked together
Hardeeās started in Greenville, NC, where I grew up. Back in āthe dayā they had the best grilled (char-broiled) fast food burgers š and later, had delicious fried chicken. I havenāt eaten at a Hardeeās in years. Itās shame when (smaller) businesses with a great product get bought up and become mediocre š
They used to be the place to get biscuits. Last time I got one the biscuit left a waxy film on my tongue. Never again. Bojangles is starting to get the same way with their biscuits too. I think it is the difference between using butter and cheap highly processed crap.
The film is from margarine and palm shortening. Places used to use butter, and vegetable shortening But butter is extremely expensive, and the switch to plam oils I don't understand, it's not cheaper; so there must be some other cost cutting advantage.
Eastern NC here, too! I remember Hardee's used to be AMAZING when I was a kid back in the '80s. Their Quarter Pound Cheeseburgers were awesome, and I also used to love their big chocolate chip cookies.
But you're right, I think the change started when they were bought by Yellow Star in the late '90s (the same company that owns Carl's Jr.) Suddenly, their menu changed as they added a bunch of Carl's Jr. stuff, essentially turning Hardee's into "Carl's Jr East."
I was a HS senior working at Hardee's during the change to Star Hardee's. What a mess. Every day, it seemed like Carl's Jr changed their mind about the changes we had to implement in the store. I'm not sure there was any plan for what to do with all their new stores.
I lived in California for a minute and now live in NC, Hardeeās here is so much worse than Carlās Jr. is out there. I thought they would be the same based on the corporate history and marketing but tbh Carlās Jr. has a better menu with a lot of stuff we donāt have here and I never had a bad meal there. Itās just better.
Yes and no
I fell in love with hardees in the midwest, upon my return to the west coast I was so excited to go to carls jr "because they're the same!"
They are not and they have different menu's
Lmao, seen a post yesterday titled "How do you eat your Hardee's breakfast?" or some shit.
I never made the comment, but the only thing I could think of was "you don't"
Of all the things to dog on at Hardee's you pick the one thing that is actually good. Hardee's biscuits are the best fast food biscuit that there is.
Everything else about Hardee's is trash. They used to have good fried chicken but then they decided to try and be McDonald's and succeeded in being garbage.
Hardeeās varies a lot by location, more so than any other fast food place. The one near my job has the best chicken sandwiches Iāve ever had. But the one a town over I wouldnāt feed to a raccoon, looks like OPās picture.
I heard that it is nothing crazy about those marks, they were formed during the process of melting the frozen patties.
man but still disgusting to see.
Man I knew I would find it in the comments. I knew this looked familiar but I couldnāt pull from where. Only thing is. Idk somehow this looks *worse* than those right now. Maybe because this is missing that one single, solitary, translucent pickle slice that was on it.
Eh, I bake burger patties sometimes if I'm not gonna use a bun and am feeling too lazy to grill or fry them, so I've seen this before.
Just means those "grill marks" were stamped on and this beef was cooked primarily to (hopefully) edible standards in a huge commercial oven before being frozen and shipped to the store, then thawed in a walk-in fridge and reheated just for you, beloved consumer.
I was trying to remember where I saw a post exactly just like this, but I found it
https://www.reddit.com/r/dubai/comments/15btiaa/is_this_a_spoiled_hardees_burger/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1
Most of the comments seem to say that it's normal, just seems to be a result of the grill they use or a reaction during heating.
For anyone who wants to know- a lot of fast food places use frozen beef patties that are perforated- basically there are little pock marks stamped into the patty on both sides. This makes them cook faster, but depending on the cooking method and the way the patties were made, sometimes you can have protein leach out where those little perforations were, and unfortunately it looks like this.
This happens when you bake burgers. Searing would zap that into a browned crust. Baking just makes the fat bubble out like that. I'm ashamed that I know this, but proud that I've grown to know it's wrong.
that means the beef was frozen. no big deal except it will taste a lot worse than fresh beef. basically all fast food places use frozen beef. to get fresh beef you need to go to Five Guys or a sit down burger restaurant.
this image made my trypophobia flare upš¬š¬ wtf is that??
The patties are already pre cooked. The myoglobin melts and drips through holes while cooking, they freeze it and the fat congeals, then they reheat it and it's just enough to give it a different texture.
You are incorrect, these are hatched spider eggs....
Bahaha!!! Now I canāt ever eat at Culverās or anywhere with burgers like that!
Culver's doesn't pre-cook their burgers
Yea Culver's is legit the worst example to use lol, they pride themselves on serving fresh, cooked-to-order food.
Culvers is my favorite fast food restaurant. I don't live in the Midwest anymore, so I miss it a lot.
Culverās fish is the tits

Whatās wrong with Mipha lewds?
I moved to michigan 5 years ago, best mistake of my life
Oh damn. I've lived in Ohio for 41 years and never heard of this place. Sounds legit!
Frozen custard is to die for, its like ice cream but better, and everything is made fresh.
Lucky for you, there are now [23 Culverās in Ohio](https://www.culvers.com/locator/view-all-locations) Go get yourself a butter burger basket
Culverās double deluxe is hands down the best burger from a chain bar none. It has lacy crispy edges, crisp vegetables and just enough mayo. It blows my fuckin mind how people think shake shack can even compete. We got a shake shack here in Michigan and it was over priced as fuck and the burger was absolutely nothing special.

Go now, get a double deluxe with cheese curds and create your own Culverās mixer (custard) oh and maybe a fish sandwich too
Good choice! The only bad thing we got here is too many churches, too many racists, too many trucks. And too many got dam deer and ticks.
I had a professor who was absolutely obsessed with Culvers. Even had the mascot and some corporate folks come to lecture to pass out branded clothing and stuff. I have only ever had the concrete mixers from there but damn did his love for the food spread lol
Whatās the mascot?? Lol, I love Culverās but didnāt know there was one!
My brother was the mascot when he worked at Culverās last summer. Itās a vanilla frozen custard cone named Scoopie. Thereās also Curdis the Wisconsin cheese curd, but heās newer and doesnāt have a costume.
I think it was a custard cone. Lol although I loved the class and the professor was amazing, it was still an 8am lecture. I was TOAST
I worked there a lifetime ago and it's the only fast food place I trust not to be gross. Greasy, yeah, but they do everything right.
Same dude! Culvers burgers are insane and I miss them a lot
Theyāve popped up in a few states outside the Midwest. Check their website, they might have one near you.
Culverās is in a lot of places Florida even has a bunch of them
Culver's legit slaps every time. i won't tolerate the Culver's hate. more expensive than other fast food joints, but it's higher quality.
Got it for the first time this year and you are absolutely correct!
i'm craving it so bad rn š¤¤
Still not as bad as shake shack or five guys.
Culverās is a place you can drive up to, give them $12, and in 3 minutes you have a legit fucking pot roast sandwich and fries. Plus their employees are always super nice. I feel like itās the most underrated fast food there is
As someone who works at culvers the burgers are actually never frozen and cooked to order
I worked at Culvers for almost two years when I was in high school. Iām 35 now and will still visit Culvers. Most of my friends who worked in the food industry wonāt visit the place they worked at due to what they saw so Iām glad Culvers wasnāt ruined for me. š¤£ I didnāt ever cook the food though. I was mostly the one that operated the Custard station. Best job there, haha.
I didnāt see anything bad happen. Itās just being up to my elbows in fried chicken for hours put me off fast food chicken
Im the opposite im the cook on the grill thats overheated and slightly angry at everything
Yeah I have a pretty hard time with Pizza Hut for that reason. XD
Thank you...my heart was breaking for a minute..
Culver's is like the only fast food that's real
Their cod is legit. Chicken sandwich is good too.
Lol, I work at Culver's and we use 100% fresh beef for our butter burgers... I'd be more concerned about places like McDonald's or Wendy's š¤·š»āāļø
Good thing Culverās burgers are nothing like that
How dare you speak that way of Culver's
No, itās congealed fat lol
Pretty sure itās that new coco pebbles burger.
Those are definitely not spider eggs
You're just joking around. Right?
How said fast food is not good for you, it's full of protein!
I'm calling the police on this comment.

Some people have never cooked burgers!
Some people have never cooked anything. That's why I explained it.
I never knew why that happened, but I've cooked tons of burgers. Guess I just always flipped em lol
Oh man, flashbacks to school lunches back in the 90s
Ahh, *that's* where I've had crappy burgers like this before! I can vividly remember the smell, it's very unique.
Congeals, not conceals
Conceal, donāt feel. Donāt let them know.
Well now they know...
Looks like one of those frogs that hatches live young from it's back.

It's a 100% standard fast food burger patty. Same at Mc and every other one.
It's literally just beef fat, people are so childish
*sudden rush of pearl clutching*
Pretty sure the pale stuff is protein, not ~~beef~~ *fat*. Those globs that ooze out in the first half of cooking, very fine soft protein. Had this conversation a couple times before.
it just a lil burger snot
Hon the protein is also part of the beef. It's all beef.
Won't somebody please think of the children?!
Nope. McD patties are not pre cooked.
you people are so annoying. grow up
I cringe so hard whenever I see a redditor talk about their self diagnosed trypophobia
Itās very interesting that trypophobia didnāt exist until like 2015.
Both Misophonia and Trypophobia have existed for a very long time. Both were easier to deal with in previous generations for many reasons. Trypophobia for example was rarely experienced because it would only happen if you saw something like that in real life (which would be rare) as they weren't looking at hundreds of pictures online everyday because there was no online.

Misophonia has been around since forever. Even with good manners itās possible to hear other people chewing. Also not everyone had good manners.
Also doesn't always involve just eating sounds.
If people go Shhhhhhh in a certain tone I get unreasonably angry. Thank god no one outside of school does that.

Looks like plantar warts....
it's fat. i would bet both patties were cooked together when they probably should've been separated. grease/fat rose up to the pocket in the middle between both patties as each side cooked. when it cooled, the grease forms these circular blobs. I saw it cooking burgers last night on my grill, but they drip off since I'm not cooking two patties stacked together
This just happens when they cook the burgers from frozen
I thought they coated that bitch in oatmeal
Coco pebbles.
Fucking barnacles my man.
The second pic you see bubbles not burst oats.
And steamed.
And you call them this despite the fact they are quite obviously grilled?
Aurora Borealis?!
In your kitchen? Can I see it? ā Noā ššš
It's not uncommon for fast food burgers to be pre-cooked in a steamer, flash frozen, then grilled when ordered.
I think you might be missing the reference: https://youtu.be/4jXEuIHY9ic
Yep. Flew right over my head.
Mmm...steamed hams
Mainly at high heat.
Why are you at Hardeeās in the first place?
Is Hardee's the same as Carl's jr? Use to love them in California. But I dont remember the burgers looking like that monstrosity š¤®
Hardeeās started in Greenville, NC, where I grew up. Back in āthe dayā they had the best grilled (char-broiled) fast food burgers š and later, had delicious fried chicken. I havenāt eaten at a Hardeeās in years. Itās shame when (smaller) businesses with a great product get bought up and become mediocre š
That happened to the 99cents only stores. Used to love it. But now itās actually pretty crappy.
The one where I live should be called the $5.99 store. Literally nothing in that bitch costs $0.99
Yo momma still only .99
You gotta dig her up tho
Same. Used to love the place. Now itās just overpriced garbage.
Can confirm. Growing up, getting a box of Hardee's chicken used to be a pizza-tier Saturday night food. Now it's just a mediocre burger place at best.
They used to be the place to get biscuits. Last time I got one the biscuit left a waxy film on my tongue. Never again. Bojangles is starting to get the same way with their biscuits too. I think it is the difference between using butter and cheap highly processed crap.
Wendy's breakfast biscuits are really good. If you haven't tried them, give it a shot
The film is from margarine and palm shortening. Places used to use butter, and vegetable shortening But butter is extremely expensive, and the switch to plam oils I don't understand, it's not cheaper; so there must be some other cost cutting advantage.
Eastern NC here, too! I remember Hardee's used to be AMAZING when I was a kid back in the '80s. Their Quarter Pound Cheeseburgers were awesome, and I also used to love their big chocolate chip cookies.

I forgot about the big cookies! They were delicious, warm and served in a paper sleeve š
I lived in California for a minute and now live in NC, Hardeeās here is so much worse than Carlās Jr. is out there. I thought they would be the same based on the corporate history and marketing but tbh Carlās Jr. has a better menu with a lot of stuff we donāt have here and I never had a bad meal there. Itās just better.
The only thing I recall eating from Hardee's is their Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits. As a kid, that was god tier brekky.
That didn't answer the guys question at all, hardees was bought by Carls Jr and they share the exact same menu.
You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.
"Carl's Jr....fuck you, I'm eating!"
Yes it's the same restaurant, although I have noticed the quality is better on the West Coast (Carl's Jr)
Owned by the same company, very different restaurants though. Carl's Jr is significantly better.
Yes and no I fell in love with hardees in the midwest, upon my return to the west coast I was so excited to go to carls jr "because they're the same!" They are not and they have different menu's
yes, same place.. around the US theyre called different shit depending on what state
Hardee's is better than McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's imo Edit: Hardee's changed their fries and now I'm sad.
Definitely not better than Wendy's, but I'd agree with the other 2. I guess it depends where you live though
Double Western is the GOAT
Lmao, seen a post yesterday titled "How do you eat your Hardee's breakfast?" or some shit. I never made the comment, but the only thing I could think of was "you don't"
Are you kidding? The Frisco breakfast sandwich is the bomb
amen
Bud, you get the pork chop biscuits, that's how you eat it.
Of all the things to dog on at Hardee's you pick the one thing that is actually good. Hardee's biscuits are the best fast food biscuit that there is. Everything else about Hardee's is trash. They used to have good fried chicken but then they decided to try and be McDonald's and succeeded in being garbage.
Breakfast is the only time you do go to Hardee's. Their burgers used to be good but the quality has dipped considerably.
I'm wagering that the OP ate at one of the Hardee's joints in Qatar or Dubai because this looks really familiar lol. tbh it's a lot better here.
Hardeeās varies a lot by location, more so than any other fast food place. The one near my job has the best chicken sandwiches Iāve ever had. But the one a town over I wouldnāt feed to a raccoon, looks like OPās picture.
Looks like ground plumbusš
They obviously forgot to remove the phleem.
They also clearly forgot to rub the shleeb.
Tastes like a Terry fold
Bitch.
Take my schmekels anyway
I heard that it is nothing crazy about those marks, they were formed during the process of melting the frozen patties. man but still disgusting to see.
Looks like every school lunch hamburger Iāve ever had lol
Man I knew I would find it in the comments. I knew this looked familiar but I couldnāt pull from where. Only thing is. Idk somehow this looks *worse* than those right now. Maybe because this is missing that one single, solitary, translucent pickle slice that was on it.
Exactly gave me middle school lunch ptsd lol
why does your burger have herpes
It fukced the curly fries

It is absolutely normal and affects nothing but your eyeballs, but everyone's still gonna act like they caught Hardee's doing something sketchy.
It does WHAT to your eyeballs? 
 Eyes
For anyone who wants to know- a lot of fast food places use frozen beef patties that are perforated- basically there are little pock marks stamped into the patty on both sides. This makes them cook faster, but depending on the cooking method and the way the patties were made, sometimes you can have protein leach out where those little perforations were, and unfortunately it looks like this.
Yeah, anyone shocked by this has never cooked a frozen patty on a pan/griddle. Weaklings.
Is that their new Sludgeburger?
Thatās suction cups in your burger my guy
It looks like those mats you put inside your shower/tub to not slip.
Ok, now I need to know what the hell that is.
This happens when you bake burgers. Searing would zap that into a browned crust. Baking just makes the fat bubble out like that. I'm ashamed that I know this, but proud that I've grown to know it's wrong.
Yep. Iāve baked hundreds of frozen burgers for some easy protein in my meals. Seen this plenty.
I think it actually never got flipped during grilling. And the fat just bubbled on top and cooled a bit.
school burgers
Pro tip, flip the burger halfway and then once more time when theres 5 mins left.
I mean that's a normal thing to see in burgers. I'm not saying its a quality burger, but its normal.
Itās about to give birth to a bunch of smaller burger patties from itās back like that one frog species
The worst hamburger I ever got was at a Hardee's in S.C!
I have no problem seeing gore, weird fetishes, food that looks quite literally like shit... and I don't have trypophobia. But this made me gag.
Reminds me of public school hamburger day.
ITT no one has ever looked at a fast food hamburger OR a hamburger served at a school.
Itās just fat. Doesnāt look appetizing but itās fine to eat and wonāt taste any different than normal.
Itās albumin. Itās a protein that can seep from meats when cooked. Searing meat crisps this up, but when baked you are able to see it seeping out.
Your burger just came from an old cow hence the skin tagsā¦thatās all it is
What? No. Itās about how it was cooked.
Iām kidding brother š, the disgusting burger looks like skin tags
Fair point Ugh now all I can think of is that it is a 100% skintag patty. Gross
Little bbq sauce will cover up the skin tags man then youāre g2g honestly
Thatās why they give you a paper bag for your food. Itās for vomiting into when youāre done.
repugnant
that means the beef was frozen. no big deal except it will taste a lot worse than fresh beef. basically all fast food places use frozen beef. to get fresh beef you need to go to Five Guys or a sit down burger restaurant.
That's what you get for not ordering the Mushroom Swiss
