Potato buns are where it’s at. Light, soft, it lets the burger ingredients do the talking.
When did Ciabatta buns go out of vogue?
Hard bread with hard ingredients (like meat chunks or salami), soft bread with soft ingredients (like egg salad). I’d call a burger medium soft, and ciabatta is too hard for that
I guess it’s not the Ciabatta I know. Light on the inside, crispy on the outside.
I adore ciabatta, but it’s way too chewy to make a good burger bun
The light crispy stuff though. It’s still common in NZ. Love it.
It’s an entirely different level of mess you’d get on your hands eating a burger without a bun vs with a brioche bun. And anyhow, how are you getting all the fixins to stay in place without a bun? THAT is the primary purpose of the bun, IMO.
Also, because a burger without a bun is like having a sandwich without the bread.
He’s not against buns, he’s against brioche buns
I realize that, but his objection is predicated on the “entire point” of a bun being to avoid greasy hands. I contend that is not the entire point, and that the brioche bun is not inferior with regard to the “entire point” of a bun.
You dislike brioche buns because they’re greasy.
I dislike brioche buns because they’re overused by chefs that don’t know how to pair sweet bread with savoury meats.
We are not the same.
Po-tay-to! Boil em, mashed em, bake em into burger buns.

Too late.
I am offended beyond belief
Thank you. Brioche buns are an abomination used by the fast food industry to trigger sugar reward signals and make their burgers just a bit more addictive. They’re not used with any good intentions whatsoever.
Fast food doesn’t use brioche that I’m aware of
Popeyes fried chicken sandwich used brioche and triggered a wider trend in fast food. This was like 2019/2020
McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King. I googled them all with the word brioche and there was news for all of them.
Fuck you, brioche buns are the best and its the burger meats fault for being greasey

That’s not the point of burgers in buns.
I hope this helps.
(OP imagining the invention of the hamburger)
“HOW EVER CAN WE EAT THIS GLISTENING PUCK OF MEAT WITHOUT GETTING OUR HANDS ALL GREASY?!”
The sandwich was created* by Lord Sandwich in the 18th century when he wanted to gamble and eat at the same time without having his hands dirty
The story sounds a lot like the gary chess meme but it is more true
*well technically by his butler and it is not verifiable if he was the first but at least the name comes from there
The fatter the buns, the more they block water, and thus the longer you have before the bottom bun gets soggy.
How long is it taking you to eat your burger!?
Honestly I hate people who put down burgers
Yeah, but the move there is to sear the bun insides while making the patty.
Coincidence? I think not!! (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d752cab0-1559-42a0-bc7d-323fec3dabad.jpeg)
So you know brioche buns should be ever so slightly sticky, but a sweet sticky, right?
Not to ruin your favourite burger place but maybe you should just buy some buns from a bakers and then see what they’re like fresh.
At the moment there are two options. You can’t quite tell the difference between brioche sticky and greasy sticky or your burger place manages to get grease all over your buns.
How good are they overall? Do you want to know the answer?
Edit: Damn it came to me just too late. At the moment you’re stuck in Heisenberg’s buns. Do you want to resolve that?
You’re right. The “shininess” of a brioche is from the egg wash.
You get burgers which are possible to eat with hands?
Truth. They’re so overstuffed and sloppy they have to put a stake through the middle to hold it together, and you end up eating it with a knife and fork.
Used to be a place near me that had a knife in the middle so you could cut it in half. Top tier burger, but if it were any taller I wouldn’t be able to eat it properly
Completely agree
I love them because of a sesame allergy! Worry free brioche for the me! :)
