If this starts to happen, turn it around before it slides too much and start biting from the other side instead. Usually does the trick!
I never considered it would be a technique issue.
You are my hero, may your pillows be forever your preferred temperature
With extra messy burgers, consider supporting the backside of the burger even more. Pinching the opposite end of the burger between little and ring fingers Basically like the image, but moving the fingers closer to the middle
Also in between bites hold it flat or upside down instead of vertical to prevent gravity from making the ingredients droop out.
It is not 100%, but my burger eating got infinitely better ever since I saw this image a couple of years ago. I saw the meme and thought if this one, so glad tou delivered this wisdom to others.
AOM guides are amazing
The pros just do cheese, grilled onions, and some sauce for a classic dirty burger
I’m guessing his business partner passed from congestive heart failure, burgers are probably 🔥 tho.
Do what you love and you don’t work a single day. Because the heart attack gets you first
Burgers should be wide, not tall, for ideal distribution of toppings. Nevermind aesthetics.
This is the result of incorrect burger gripping, where the pinkies and ring fingers should also be holding the back end together, ensuring a safe dining experience
Just eat from the opposite side, the burger will never see it coming.
Sliced avocado on anything. It must be mashed!
That’s why those little burger spikes at restaurants are so useful.
I like cutting my burgers in half. Gives me better control over the contents.
Thank you. I had to scroll through so many comments about disgusting holding techniques that get your hands even dirtier.
Be civilized. Cut your burger in half. You will not regret it.
Even in half, biting a copiously endowed burger still tends to spill out the opposite end. My strategy there is to bite through halfway (not completely over to the other side of the bun) and draw that bite in as this lessens the squishing action between the breading. Twist the wrist a slight bit and bite the other half to regain balance. Even then, it won’t always be a tidy affair. If required, I will set that half in my hand and will not let loose of it as that allows the contents to unravel. Stay in control and just finish the half. And because you are only holding a half, the other hand is free for napkin usage, smoking, drinking, limited sign language, fries or whatever the side dish is (man/woman/potato salad). Thanks for subscribing to my burger handling newsletter. We only publish on days that don’t end in “y”.
Same. Much easier to eat
Skill issue
I put my thumb slightly behind the middle on the bottom and put a little pressure on the back of the bun with my pinkie fingers so that the stuff inside has a gentle pressure towards my mouth. While some sauces might escape, the toppings and meat stay in.
Usually I see people blow out their burgers by holding the part closest to their mouth in a counter productive attempt to squish it into their mouth.
Edit: oh neat, the image posted by ThatWeirdGuy is exactly what I’m talking about!
Kids nowadays won’t believe this but you used to get burgers that held together without a skewer.
That’s why I run away from big overstuffed burgers. In my country, people put lettuce, fresh tomatoes and raw onions in burgers like they actually are kebabs. Best burgers I know are toasted bun, patty, fried onions or grilled bacon, 1-2 pickles, and a homemade sauce. No room for escape
My homie raw onion slice does not deserve this slander
He’s just a chill guy in a burger world
You gotta put your hand on the back of the burger and just push it i to your mouth.

They should always do 3 mini burgers instead of a big one
or they can make a big burger that’s somewhat hollow on the inside, so the sides will stop stuff from falling out
Oooo like a little meat tray. I like this.
