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......

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

McDonalds claims they are fresh. https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/about-our-food/fresh-beef.html

I had this 180gm with blue cheese and pepper sauce burger at same place on our first day in Amsterdam.  It was size of the burger on the right in the previous post.

12.5oz is my kind of burger!  Even though it is thick, it at least fills the bun!  Could you get it cooked to order?  Or was it brown through n through!

brown throughout but still juicy

My wife took a picture of the two burgers from her side of the table.  I think it shows a better look at how much bigger the burger I ate was than hers (and that one was filling when I ate one earlier in the trip).

If you are served a burger with a pale pink or partly green tomato slice, do you send it back or just ask for a ripe slice with no core in the middle. My pet peeve is that anyone would dare to serve either unripe or with a central core. Happens a lot. Kinda like serving a half baked potato with your steak dinner. I noticed such a tomato on Mr. Toni's burger pics. At todays prices it is an insult.

I decided to try something different today and went to Five Guys. There was only one other person in the restaurant. There are huge lines whenever I go to In-N-Out, which is a often.

The Five Guys burger was nice, but the In-N-Out burger is iconic.
