    I want a place that makes tiny burgers

    Forget the premium burger places where burgers are held together by whaling harpoons and you need to eat them deconstructed. Instead of one giant undesirable burger give me a plate with 4 regular sized burgers in exciting variations.

    Give me a chicken chili burger, a double irish beef patty blue cheese burger, an italian herb lamb patty and as a chaser a smoked bison brisket with bourbon sauce.

    All on one plate. I would be happy

    4 burgers. 1 plate. 0 regrets.

    And if you don’t like one, you have 3 more chances to forgive the cook.

    As a person who cannot unhook my jaw in the same way that a snake is able to, I am all for the idea of wider, flatter burgers.

    Chilis used to make a Terlingua Pride Burger, it was wide AF. It was kinda fun, but the bun got soggy before you could finish it and it would start to fall apart.

    Still miss it, though.

    Literally at my restaurant right now the burger with 3 smaller patties is more popular than the burger with 2 bigger patties. Same total amount of meat, just taller on a smaller bun…

    Especially sucks for people with jaw problems who can’t open their mouth that wide. But you’re totally wrong about deep dish pizza

      Pizza casserole isn’t bad but it also isn’t pizza really, it’s a casserole they pretend is pizza. It’s just like those cake doughnuts, they aren’t doughnuts, they’re batternuts, and that’s fine but Dunkin needs to quit lying to everyone.

          Nah that’s just it, it’s pizza stuff in the form of a casserole, therefore casserole.

          Unless you just mean “thick bread crust” then sure but that isn’t deep dish, real deep dish is like a bread bowl casserole.

            Except it’s called pizza and looks like pizza so it’s in the form of pizza.

            Unless you just mean “thick bread crust” then sure but that isn’t deep dish, real deep dish is like a bread bowl casserole.

            Detroit style deep dish is also deep dish, but yeah not Chicago style deep dish

    It’s true. I’m a bartender. When I serve a drink in a to-go cup I sometimes get people bitching “oh, that’s all I get?” and then I passive aggressively demonstrate to them that it’s the same as it would be in a pint glass but it’s just shorter and wider.

      Don’t fucking people do anything for themselves anymore. I mean this is like a service economy right so everybody’s just going around wiping each other’s buttholes and passing Around 20 bucks… Just like having to explain the most elementary things, you know, it’s just ridiculous. Like having you ever just like drank whiskey out of like any fucking thing you can find. But then you’re trying to be responsible and you measure it out. But then you end up drinking like half or all the bottle. Clearly, in a normal cup, a shot of whiskey looks like nothing.

    Wider means you get more of the same, taller means you can get more ingredients. If I order a burger with all the fixings, I’d rather a tall burger than lettuce to one side and onion to the other.

      I agree that you can get more ingredients, but I can fit a lot of ingredients in a burger that doesn’t have to be a mile high. I don’t want a quarter inch (6+mm) of red onion on a burger. I don’t want a giant piece of lettuce like you mentioned. I don’t need thick tomatoes either.

      Not that we should eat this, but I can go toasted Brioche bun, light BBQ sauce, 1/5 pound pattie, pulled pork mixed with Mac and Cheese, caramelized onions, light BBQ drizzle, toasted top brioche bun and that’s a lot to put on a burger but it can be done easily without your mouth having to be unhinged to bite into it. Someone will probably tell me to throw cheese in there, because we Americans are hurting for a heart attack, but still easily doable.
