Had a couple of cheeseburgers with my salad for lunch myself!

I bought some burgers at the Reading Terminal Market in Philly yesterday.

Went there a couple times when I worked in Philly.  Quite the place.

I had a nice roast beef sandwich and bought a bunch of sausages too - Caribbean Jerk chicken, Hot Italian with peppers and onions in the casing, French onion beef, Spicy sage breakfast, cheesesteak sausage

Had a burger at a beer joint in Aggieville called “So long saloon” pretty dang good and they even cooked close to how I like it, I ordered rare and they got pretty close. Have NO idea why they orient wrong. And while I had a few beers it was not busch light, it was Yeungling in the cup.

It looks like a good burger!

Wanted a Double Big Mac. Well, McDonalds is not offering them right now...so...Course there is no special sauce, lettuce, pickles or onions...but it was still very good!  I have decide that if a Cheeseburger will not stand up straight, it is simply to big.

Four patties, that is a monster!!!
I'd have to eat that in 6 meals!
In my younger days I would have had no problem scarfing that down.

Bentley, is that more than a half pound burger?

I was working in Provo UT many, many years ago.  We frequented a Fudruckers there that had the best condiment bar I had ever seen in a burger joint.  Burgers were decent in my mind.  A couple of blocks from there they opened an In n Out.  Going back to our motel after work and there was a line of cars about 150 deep and walk-ins probably 200 out the door.  I was shocked.  I wouldn't stand in that long of a line for a ribeye w/mushroom on the side.  I tried a Fudruckers in Oregon at 2 different places.......quite disappointing to say the least.  The one in Lake Oswego is still in operation, but I won't go back.

They were 2.5oz. raw patties, so before cooking yes.  I wish I could get down to a 1.6oz. McDonalds burger.  I wish I knew how they keep them uniform, with no splits at that size.

 I would think they don't use fresh patties and come in preformed, and with the way they are cooked they probably stay uniform.

 You may need to make a press. Figure out how far your 1.6oz will spread and then make a press slightly smaller with a rim on it to press and keep it contained and round.

I knew McD's uses what we used to call "topsider" grills, with an electric griddle on top; here's a vid taken from the POV of a McD's grill cook. Interesting that the small burgers are frozen, while the quarter pounders look to be thawed.

McDonalds POV: They Kicked Me Off Grill LOL

I have seen similar videos, I wonder if the quarter pounders come frozen and they put them in that cooler and allow them to thaw, so they cook quicker?

I would assume that the QPs are thawed out in the refrigerated area in the back before bringing them up front to the grill area. If this is the case, the projected amount of burgers to be sold are moved from the freezer the day prior. This is what we did when I worked at Applebees in the 90s. They could be received already thawed, but they sure didn't look like the Wendy's burgers we got when I worked there, lol!

However, when I worked at Rallys, we chucked them in the topsiders fully frozen......
