Food & Drink What instantly ruins a hamburger?

[WhiteMousse]

Other than the obvious(over/under cooked, and toppings you don't agree with), I'd say a weak bun that can't handle the juices. You must toast the bun to perfection, or else you will wind up with a spongey sloppy mess, like a leftover sub with oil dressing.

Toasted brioche, hell yeah man

Too much lettuce. I like lettuce in burgers, but I want it to be the same square footage as the patties or bun. I don’t want lettuce that is hanging off the burger by like 5 inches.

Also, I don’t like it when a burger can’t hold together. Like you take one bite and your tomato goes flying out the back or something because there was too much sauce that made it like a fucking slip n slide.

Man, that reminds me of when my buddy claimed to have made the best burger ever. Thing was like two inches thick and he stacked it with four of five cheeses and tomato. He bit down and the entire paddy shot out right onto the pool table. It even rolled like a dime, and came to a pathetic stop at the corner pocket, LOL.
