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.

I was on your side until that gibberish about Chicago style pizza.

I'll take whatever gets my beard the least messy.

Big burgers should just be two 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.

Nobody said it. So be it...

A regular size, ⅓lb burger is plenty for anybody. If it was unsatisfying, use better ingredients or stronger flavours.

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...

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.

It's not a comparison of size, it's just the formatting of the sandwich to fit better with the way the human jaw is made... What a dumb argument

The A&W thing is more about Americans sucking ass at math than the difference between a wider or taller burger.

They had a 1/3lb burger and dipshits thought the 1/4lb was bigger because they don't understand fractions.

if i'm hungry enough to want a huge burger, i'd rather have two reasonably sized burgers instead.

I disagree with the glasses part as counterargument. Pizzas are sold by diameter in places that offer large and small - some even do medium. I also believe it would be nicer to have wider burgers instead of taller

This is a dumb response. Wider is easier to fit in your mouth and doesnt fall apart. Taller is just a mess and challenge to eat

TLDR: it's not a volume issue, its a distribution

I think wider is better so you don't have to unhinge your jaw like a snake to eat it.

I want a burger with the least amount of surface area.

Yup. Which sold better, the whopper (wider) or the big Mac(taller)

Burgers should neither be taller nor wider. Just give me two normal sized burgers.

Nah. If you put two plates in front of me and one had a regular burger on it and the other had a burger that was as wide as the plate itself, I'd pick the one that most accurately reflects how much I hate myself at that moment.

Buns and patties would have to come in two different sizes for wide and regular burgers, and it’s probably more economical for restaurants to make them all in one standard size.

But wider = more taste surface. See smash burgers. Taller is just... more burger to toppings ratio. Diminishing returns, imo.
