Just had a classic fish and chip shop works burger from Munchca in Avalon, Sydney. Plus Chips and pineapple fritter. Burger had egg, bacon, beetroot, lettuce, grilled onion, cheese tomato, pineapple.

Had a date and cooked burgers and tried out that cold oil chip technique that I think was discussed earlier in this thread that old mate couldn't accept as a valid technique.

250g grass fed beef patty, smoked cheddar cheese slice, smoked bacon, beetroot, charred onion, egg, lettuce, tomato on a turkish roll. It was a big burger.

TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEPPOS - FISH AND CHIP SHOP BURGER

Visited my hometown and went to my favourite fish and chip shop, Samo's Fish Bar in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.

They do ridiculous battered chips, creamy on the inside and super crunchy on the outside.

They're burgers are a bit ridiculous and what comes to mind for fish and chip shop burgers for me, they're essentially a salad roll + beef patty. Beef is like a loose rissole/meatball mix - finely minced beef with (I assume) bread crumbs, eggs and onion which is smashed on a flat top. The plain burger has lettuce, grated carrot, cucumber, beetroot, grilled onions and BBQ sauce as standard. The lot adds a fried egg and tinned pineapple.

I’m expecting total societal collapse within 40 years, so this checks out. That’s the only explanation for some of those toppings.

I'm Australian, and while beetroot and egg have a place, it's in a lunch bar burger, which is a formed supermarket ground beef patty about 3/4" thick, and also full of egg (and breadcrumbs).

We don't put that stuff on our smashburgs, restaurant/cafe burgs, chicken sandwiches, and other legitimate forms of meatsandwich.

Trying my hand at making sourdough burger buns, version 1 was good but ended up more like XL Slider sized. Lil thicc burger with american cheese and burger sauce. Bun was nice, spongey but firm and absorbent without being too chewy or in the way. Excited to try batch 2!

Version 3 of the sourdough bun is getting close, it’s still a little too thick overall, as well as a hair too…dense? but not in a bad way. It needs just a little more airiness and openness to the crumb. Overall a super satisfying smash burger. The bun held up to the juices and cheese with no problem.

Two patties, each with their own slice of cheese! I worked at In-N-Out burger in high school like 18 years ago and I could never figure out the two meat single cheese crowd.

Edit: this was back when you could build your burger to any size, we used to get 100x100 burgers for frat challenges all the time.

If you want wider but not taller buns, put a second sheet pan on top during the proof.

There's also the option of pre-smashing the beef patties between two parts of a baking sheet that's been cut in half, but still keeping something on top of them when they're cooking.
In my experience, it's a lot easier to get the meat properly flat and evenly spread out as wide as possible, and you still develop all the nice maillard reaction.

Cheers, those were helpful tips! Tried another round of buns. Slightly lower dough weight, sheet pan on top during proof, which definitely helped fill the buns fully out into their shape. Still a little tall, but a new flour blend meant it squished nicely and was nice to eat.

The best trick I've learned for making flatter burger buns is in this Brioche blog post from King Arthur baking.
https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2015/06/28/brioche-buns

I'm not specifically saying to use that brioche recipe (although I have made it and they turned out really well), but there's a tip almost half way down the page that was very helpful to me.

They say to lightly oil the bottom of a flat bench scraper or even the bottom of a large measuring cup and use that to flatten and twist on each of your dough balls prior to final proofing. The flattening part does what you imagine, but the twisting motion helps too because it helps your final bun to be rounder.
