That actually looks like a reasonable burger though, just as long as you remove the cocktail sticks before eating!

That website says they serve award winning sliders, but they look like ordinary sized burgers to me

That looks lush, +2 for a proper bun instead of this currently fashionable brioche nonsense

Not sure why someone has eaten most of the flesh off that bit of melon and just left the rind on your plate though

Good looking burger, would eat.

We're having burgers for breakfast when OH gets in from work in the morning

By modern standards it's small! I've got a first world problem with burgers which are too tall. It's a great idea in principle but impossible in practice. It's impossible to eat most of the ridiculous ones without disconnecting your lower jaw like a lizard monster from 'V'. But you are right it's a bit big for a slider. But they did the thing were they mixed the onions in with the meatball before smashing it on the grill. Really works well.

If you want to see a ridiculous thing have a look at a Canadian Caesar. The drink itself is like a Bloody Mary flavour wise (but it has an addition of clam juice). But then they add food. So it ends up as a large meal for two people with a drink attached,

Here's my local extreme Caesar place...

Totally agree with you about burgers that are too tall, I need to fit the fecking thing in my mouth otherwise it's not a burger, I have to take it apart or cut it up and then it is just meat patties with bread and sides

 

[Epona]

Having said that, I am tempted by the advert for a double Big Mac - yes I am a bad person

I still contend you should look at burgers (or sandwiches in general) like urban planning. Build out not up. I think my idea of a pizza size burger you slice into triangles will make me a fortune. Stays reasonably proportioned you see.

That's a design classic. No need for guilt or shame.

I know I have previously spoken out about tall oversized burgers but thinking about this, most of the height comes from salad and the like. It is often easily squashed up to
make it manageable but this can cause leakage which is unpleasant.

Has that got roast potatoes in it? Very confused - how, why etc.

You see? Great in principle. A very photogenic sandwich. Impossible to eat (and the plate’s too small).

Sorry, UK based - this was a visit at the end of a road trip in 2015.

That looks lovely. I'd have to be on my own eating it tho'.

I have already eaten this evening, well that's the excuse. Is this possibly the worst looking burger, ever.

 

[Chilli.s]

Fuck those brioche bun burgers, not even a real burger, might as well use 2 bits of sliced loaf, a hot crossed bun or a couple of crumpets, it aint a burger

Which one?

 

[Saul Goodman]

Which one?

The plant based one, obvs, as it contains no dead animals.

American...peanut butter on a burger FFS. Also comes with peanut butter dip. Peanut butter with red meat!

And that's worse than eating reconstituted plants?

 

[Elpenor]

Cold items such as guacamole and peanut butter should not be on a burger they add nothing to texture and the flavour detracts from the meat.

 

[8ball]

The Peri Peri Stack looks nice.

 

[fishfinger]

I'd try them all (if someone else is paying).

 

[strung out]

Peanut butter is excellent with savoury dishes, I'd definitely try the American stack.

A guilty pleasure from years back is a peanut butter, chili sauce and fried egg sandwich. Feel dirty afterwards though.

Me too. I'd be most likely to pay for the Peri Peri Stack, though.
