Is eating a burger upside-down blasphemous
Whenever I eat a burger I bite into it upside down because I feel like its neater and easier to eat that way. I can't be the only one that does this?
You and I, brother, you and I. And I actually know what I am talking about, since my family has worked at a burger chain for a very long time, so I basically grew up with burgers.
I can tell you’re a fckin burger savant
You better believe it brother
No chance this is Teddy’s? Just assumed you’re from Hawaii based on your username
Maybe even more psychotic than eating pizza crust first
I do this. I will even go so far as to tear the pizza crust off first lol. I’m not dumb enough to do this in formal dinners though so don’t worry.
If it’s a prestigious top tier burger (Gordon Ramsey), you ought to have your fingers chopped off. The bottom bucket value menu at BK, knock yourself out.
Kinda inbetween. In-n-out
In-n-out is like half a step above regular fast food. At least their leadership is super based for being stuck in CA.
Upside down: good
Fork and knife: sometimes
Top to bottom: bad
Bottom to top: bad
Inside out: Ok for termites
It doesn't sound too bad. but if my date pulls off that imma leave.
What makes a burger upside down? Bun orientation, or stacking of ingredients? Like.... if it was tomato, lettuce, cheese, meat from the bottom up, but the bun was place on the burger the right way (flat side on the bottom).... is that upside down?
Worthy question but all I mean is simply biting into the burger flipped upside down (curved top bun on bottom flat bottom bun on top when eating) ...
A major internet food personality who's had a couple paid consulting jobs for fancier burger joints argues that "toppings" (lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc.) should really be put on bottom. the point of this is as you suggest--less mess and good fat mixing with the other stuff. If that's the case, then don't flip it over because it's already been built in agreement with your idea, and you're defeating the point. Also, I think it's slightly more aesthetically appealing to have the bottom bun on bottom. If it's not, then by all means flip it over, especially if it's a juicy and/or messy burger.
(food guy was J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, btw. As an aside I find it interesting that a MIT grad, and son of a famous professor decided to go so super ethnic. James K. Alt was the easy option (he's German/Japanese)
A separate fight is if a thick steakhouse burger (1/2 lb or so) is better or a smash-burger. I'm firmly in the smash-burger camp. I love the char and the crunch. If I want more meat those guys normally are also happy with putting 2, 3, or even 4 patties on a burger. Steakhouse guys? not so much.
Well it looks like I have similar instincts comparable to a major internet food personality... I should be on Food Network! My only counter is that most of the time when I get a burger, the burger is always top to bottom with toppings first then patty on bottom. What constitutes upside-down is I then flip the burger over when picking it up, take a bite, then put it back down normally. The burger idles in it's normal primal state with the flat bun on the bottom. I just bite into said sammy upside down.
Seconding the notion that smash burger is gas.

Since when does Babish work in Asset Management and frequents WSO?
Kenji is great.
Yeah smash burgers are good. Probably my favorite.
I don't eat it upside down but after the first bite I set it down upside down.
Its totally normal. i understand - i get constantly ripped on for eating banana with the peel on and I do not get it. It tastes good and it literally is the most nutritious part of the fruit
No fucking way Lmfaooo
What??
