      I worked at a fast food place in high school. They trained us to put the condiments on the bottom bun so you taste it sooner in the tongue. I basically eat my burgers with that logic in mind now. Whatever side the door is is now down.

      I always find that when I try and eat a sandwich or chicken burger upright, things (especially the meat) always falls out. So for me, the optimal way to eat it is to pick it up right side up and then flip it upside down to take a bite.

        Yes Inquisitor, this heathen right here.

        This is not debatable. Cheese on top. While the patty is still on the grill, so the cheese can actually melt.

        Who would advocate for cheese on bottom? That’s where the mayo goes.

    I only flip if the bottom bun is losing structural integrity.

      Same. The thinner bottom lets the meat and toppings reach the tongue and whatnot easier, but it won’t reach if it falls apart either.

        True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.

      If I’m eating it with fries, particularly chili cheese fries, I don’t mind the burger falling apart a little as I’ll just eat it up with the fries.

      Damn writing that out makes me sound like a fat ass.

    Top up, of course. I’m not some kind of upside-down Australian savage.

    For the bun in the picture, normal hold is fine.

    Unfortunately, more than a few sandwich places believe that the space between the bun is the perfect place to serve a large helping of soup. Thus, by the time it reaches your hands, the bottom bun has lost its hold on mortality and is being torn from existence. Normal solution is to grab the bun that’s still there.

    I eat it right side up but I rest it upside down. Top buns soak up meat juice without losing integrity, usually.

    I don’t know about eating it upside down. But when put a hamburger down, I do put it upside down. I feel like they stay better in this position.
    When upside, up I find all the parts to often slide apart. When you pick it back

      Should we come up with a name for this? Flipmacs? Inverter-burger? One thing I like about doing this is that it is disrespectful to the pompous sesame seeds. They think they’re so important. We’ll show them!

    If the burger is sloppy, I flip it, that bottom bun is just too thin, if it’s a fast food burger, I just eat it normally
