That's because you're a manchild with no communication skills. Piss off.

For me, it's something in between that giant meatball with buns and the paper thin shit they serve and most fast food joints. The meatball is awkward to eat, yes, but if you get the size just right, it traps the fat better than a totally flat patty so it's always juicy and not dry.

>>12025586
Agree 100% OP. 90% of burgers you buy at pubs are like this and it’s completely shit. Put two or three thin patties on. Million times better and you can put cheese between each one if you’re really fat.

>>12025586
based and red pilled

>>12025586
My favorite place does five paper thin patties overlapping. It’s amazing.

No shit. Burgers should be thin, and if you want more food, you stack patties.

Burgers are also best when they have a crispness to the outside

>>12025606
>the size traps the fat and makes it juicy
Or you could put it on a hotter fucking grill so it sears

>>12025646
In my personal experience and view, only Smashburger gets smashburgers right. Places like In-N-Out, Steak n Shake and Shake Shack still make it too dry. Or at the very least, they're hit and miss. It's not easy to get that right, and wagies are lazy. So it kinda sucks if you ask me.

>>12025655
it's insanely-easy to get it right
the problem is these places are afraid of serving "raw" shit, so they fuck it up

>If you want a thick hamburger experience, make a fucking meatloaf instead of burgers
If you want a thick hamburger experience why wouldn’t you make a thick hamburger?

>>12025722
It's gets mealy, dry, and all shitty.
A slice of meatloaf will give you your inch slab of ground beef, but not all fucked up.

>>12025733
>It's gets mealy, dry, and all shitty.
I don't like thick patties much either but it sounds like you just suck at making burgers.

I still don't understand how you're supposed to eat this. If you squeeze it all the juice pours out onto the plate. Whose mouth is that big?

>>12025745
He probably uses lean burger meat for health reasons, and is then surprised that the meat is "lean" i.e. dry

>>12025750
>Whose mouth is that big?

>>12025733
>It's gets mealy, dry, and all shitty.
The point of a thick burger is that it is moist and juicy.
You're a shit cook if you manage to dry out such a thick slab of beef.

>>12025750
That's why at bars and places like that they give you a steak knife to cut it

It's not a fucking coincidence, thin patties only.

>>12025759
How are you supposed to cut it? Down the center still leaves the same problem. Do you cut it diagonally?

I still don't understand

>>12025789
You just haven't eaten a good one. The absolute best burgers I've eaten were thick. Maybe not meatball thick, but thick. But admittedly, they were few and far between.

>>12025733
>It's gets mealy, dry, and all shitty.
That's probably because they cook it the entire time on higher heat instead of searing and finishing in a low oven or something. It's possible to make a juicy and not shitty thick burger, but if it's too thick it'll still be unpleasant to eat because you can't just bite into the whole thing easily.

>>12025795
If you cut it in half down the middle, it's a lot easier since it's not so wide then. Just try it.

>>12025795
Just make a meatloaf at this point.
Why don't they just make a meatloaf?
Do they think they won't be allowed to have pickles or cheese if it's not a sandwich?

>>12025789
You and your family are all shit cooks, no coincidence there.

Fuddruckers has thick patties that aren't meatballs and they're juicy as fuck. They also have thinner patties, and they are not juicy.

>ree ree adhom leave my fist-shaped """patties""" alone
Post a cross section of a truly "good" thick burger then.
Show me the proof, the burden of proof when it comes to "thick burgers aren't total dogshit" lies on you.
I fucking dare you.

It's looking pretty grey.
I had to go elsewhere to find a resolution that would actually show me texture, and I'll concede that Ramsay has made a juicy burger.
Basted.
With egg folded in.

It's good because it's a tiny little meatloaf.
It would be more enjoyable to eat with no bun and a knife and fork.

>>12025868
Here's that higher res.

>>12025842
I don't owe you shit, senpai.
You're the one who married a woman who can't cook. That's entirely on you.

>>12025586
The texture of a double thin patty burger is much better than a single thick patty.

>>12025882
She makes a decent southwest scramble and is good at sucking cock.

>>12025586
I tried to make it work so many times and it's just not as good as thin patties.

>>12025646

Watch out we got a tough guy over here...

I apologize. I should cut excessive swearing out of my vocabulary, it's a bad habit to get into.

>>12025923
That is a verry reasonable response. I accept your apology.

>>12025878
needsd to go in the panini press for a few minutes

>>12025586
First you SMASH it then you SLAM it. Perfect thickness every time no matter how it started.

Is this some kind of advertisement?
Those are terrible instructions if not. What are the nuances even between smashing something and slamming something?

>>12025621
This.
The proper way to make a burger more meaty is to make it a double or triple.
Giant meat balls are gross and have weird texture.

I get the McDouble and a quarter pounder. Better than the pub
