Burgers & fries prices
Discussion
It is weird the trend to stack burgers as high as possible covered in the kitchen sink.
I had a burger , burger cheese, bun and sauce, was just perfect. The problem with all this crap on burgers you mix all the flavours up, end up not tasty the burger itself.

Yeah that’s why I like the one I had yesterday pictured above. It’s just a great patty on a decent bun with fried mushrooms, blue cheese and “bI had a burger , burger cheese, bun and sauce, was just perfect. The problem with all this crap on burgers you mix all the flavours up.
h sauce” which is a type of mayo. When they pile on this that and the other and stack stack stack the burgers look nice and photo nice but they are impossible to eat as a sandwich and everything just blends into one
Yes a lot of fast food is just made to look good on insta.
I had some dirty fries, they were expensive, I expected great thing, but tasted no better than cheap chips n cheese from the local takeaway, which are a lot cheaper. On insta they look amazing.
Give me dry aged, good quality beef, bun and sauce. Cheese can be cheap or normal but not too strong flavoured and I'm in heaven. Maybe a pineapple slice as well..

Am I the only one who prefers a burger without a bun? Especially the monstrosity that is Brioche…
I've found that I quite often forego the top part of the bun as its too much bread - whereas the bottom half soaks up all the meaty goodness (fat/oil) and will eat some of that.Years ago when on a diet - went to I think GBK, and had the burger served between two lettuce leaves (so you could pick it up and eat it) !!

Yep. Brioche is ste.
It gets used because mouth breathers think it's posh and it keeps longer before tasting stale (due to the aforementioned higher sugar content).

They were popularised in burgers in the US (where 'brioche' is more common in general) because they added a sweet dimension to very savoury burgers and BBQ. The same reason you might add ketchup, BBQ sauce, or a sweet relish.
They are also a bit lighter than a traditional styled burger bun, meaning that you don't feel like you've swallowed half a loaf with your burger. That means burgers can be snacks, as well as a meal.
I personally prefer a pretzel bun, as long as it's not too big/thick. But I also quite enjoy a brioche bun with the right contents.
Going to defend the brioche, the butteriness and sweetness work well with a decent burger if you are not loading up on extras. Works very well, but then I don;t care about the fact they became fashionable which is almost certainly the main reason people actually object. I discovered how well they work with burgers almost 20 years ago, well before they became fashionable, when my only option was to buy a brioche loaf and slice it.

I suspect the anti-brioche agenda comes from the same people who moan about burgers being stacked too high, or burgers with 'weird' toppings.They basically don't like modern burgers, and that's fine too.
