    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.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

      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.

    It’s not a comparison of size, it’s just the formatting of the sandwich to fit better with the way the human jaw is made… What a dumb argument

    The A&W thing is more about Americans sucking ass at math than the difference between a wider or taller burger.

    They had a 1/3lb burger and dipshits thought the 1/4lb was bigger because they don’t understand fractions.
