you know it's impossible to make perfect burg right? someones bound to prefer something different, so instead of sperging like that and calling ppl names and poo poo you should just chill and enjoy all kinds of burgs

Was a consensus reached regarding pretzel rolls? They seem extremely unorthodox and honestly, gimmicky. I'd like to try them though, but pretzel just seems like it'd dominate any burger's flavor no matter the topping.

Friend of mine swears by them, but he's impoverished.

You could certainly mimic one cooking surface with the other... when you cooked professionally on the short order line... didn't you baste the nearly-finished patty for just a moment or so under a lid, to get the cheese melted perfectly? you couldn't possibly achieve that effect on a grill... likewise, the texture on the outside of a properly grilled burger just won't have the same character as a burg done on the flat top...

yeah right before the patty is cooked to the temp you want, it gets the cheese and goes under the salamander for a few moments to melt the cheese perfectly. a lid on the flap top works, too. on a grill I'd just give it a final flip right before it is done and put the cheese on - it should melt just fine from the heat of the meat.

I'll give you that the texture on the outside might be a little different.

no way dude if you finish the cheese with 10s under the salamader it's a totally different creature than 10s under the lid w/ some steam

I agree because of the flavor thing, but what is your opinion of brioche buns? Way better than a regular lovely bun and doesn't have an overpowering taste at all.

brioche does have a slight sweetness without being overpowering... but IMO pretzel buns aren't subpar because of the flavor. it's the outer surface that just isn't condusive to a complex sandwich with possibly very slippery internals... doens't accept the tooth well enough, but it tastes great If that texture could be overcome pretzel buns would work

pathetic. theres no room in this dialogue for tiny-minded idiots. im certain that applebees has a "classic half pounder" smothered with raw quartered onions, unripe tomatoes and rancid iceberg you might be interested in.


ok now we're getting somewhere. just as the industrial square of inedible, neon-orange cheese evolves into a decadent sauce when pressed between browned meat and toasted bun, so now can our juices intermingle and thicken to develop new flavors

You could certainly mimic one cooking surface with the other... when you cooked professionally on the short order line... didn't you baste the nearly-finished patty for just a moment or so under a lid, to get the cheese melted perfectly? you couldn't possibly achieve that effect on a grill... likewise, the texture on the outside of a properly grilled burger just won't have the same character as a burg done on the flat top...

when I worked the line, I worked to perfect the "greasy spoon" style burger. I was sure I'd come upon the perfect ratio of fond crust and juicy inside-meat: two patties of two ounces each, half a slice of american cheese to each. Though i was pleased to have made such progress, I knew it would be years before I could get the system stable enough to play with toppings and bun combinations... but sadly within a year of my most promising breakthroughs, the specter of Diabetes Mellitus reared its ugly head... I lost three fingers on my right hand, thumb and index on my left and also my right leg below the knee. I can't cook anymore because my scooter can't fit in the kitchen.

I hope you can appreciate for one moment why my passions reach these hights when I'm talking burg. years of vision, study, experimentation and work taken away by cruel genetics, perfection is out of my reach while I'm imprisoned in this body. But you all... your only prison is your mind. You can't rouse me from my mobility scooter with a passionate diatribe unless you can regrow limbs with your words. But maybe, just maybe, I can rouse my fellow goons from burg-jail. It doesn't have to be like this. The future is what you make of it.

They're super loving good. Gimmicky, whatever, wendy's pretzel burger is the only fast food burger I've really -liked-, not just tolerated, since jack in the box stopped making chiabiata burgers. there isn't really any pretzel flavor to speak of, just that super chewy outside pretzel layer. you should try one. safeway and costco also have pretzel buns, pick up a pack and cast your doubts aside.

Well there isn't much reason for infighting here imo, at the end of the day we are all fighting on the same side. Hard to argue with a man that has strong burger opinions even if i disagree with them.

Like, i respect the guy that likes stove top pan fried burgers. I dont particularly like them myself but maybe he is better at making them than I am. I think it was sweet tea.

Also re griddle/grill theyre literally the same thing and they even have griddles with grill lines if you want. A char/gas grill requires more oversight due to flare ups fuckin your beef up tho.

Also good luck in quitting smoking ghaz. If you can take a couple days off from work and take some sleeping pills until your brain isnt screaming for nicotine
