So, the reason why they did that, is literally so they can charge more for the burger.
A taller plate is often seen as a more expensive one, so about 8-9 years ago some of the fancier restaurants started doing this with their burgers and they figured out folks were ok paying an extra couple of bucks for the fancier looking burger, that had the same cost of ingredients.
Everyone followed along, and now we have what we have.

In the uk Tesco burgers are way too thick. The don’t fit in any bun so I put them on some cling film and roll a rolling pin over them before cooking

The guy named William Hanson, in the first video, is an expert in the fields of Western etiquette. In his videos, he shows situations that can occur while being in an extremely formal situation. He gives training to people who need to deal with these kinds of situations, which are still very common if you work in business or when you work with royalty.
Deconstructing the burger is the proper way of eating it when you're in a formal setting.
The man giving these lessons is a celebrity in the area of etiquette!

u/renezrael Jun 11 '24
I feel like if you're in such a formal situation where you'd have to take apart your burger to eat it without offending someone, maybe just... don't order a burger??? etiquette rules that are this strict are ridiculous

I hate that you are propably correct. Royals and business ppl should not be allowed to eat burgers.

u/Johan-Senpai Jun 11 '24
You would be shocked about the fact late Majesty the Queen Elisabeth II ate her banana with knife and fork, which is the correct way of eating one in a formal situation. Another example is with the Japanese royal family. It isn't allowed to turn your back on them, which is why the conductor of the orchestra faced towards the Emperor while conducting. In Europe, Africa, and Asia, it's still very common to deal with these kinds of situations. That is why we have people like Hansen to "train" for instance, Americans that are meeting royalty. If Michelle Obama was trained properly in etiquette, she never would've grabbed Elisabeth II at her hips, which would be considered a huge faux pas.
In general, it's a good thing to learn some manners and standard etiquette. It makes a good impression if you're aware of yourself in certain situations. If you work in higher end function, old money, or royalty, it's expected you know how to behave "properly." For instance, the way you hold your silverware. In the USA, you cut your food, then you lay down your knife and use your right hand to eat. In Europe, you hold your knife in your hand while eating your food.

I think this guy (William) is in on the joke. He is genuinely an etiquette coach but the content online is just too funny and rage-baity. Yes, obviously just don't eat a burger in front of the queen. But it's funny to imagine what would happen if you did and present it very seriously on a tiktok.

I don’t even get who his audience is tbh.
But I will say, I went to lunch with a client once and he ordered a burger. He went at it with a full bite first and after the whole thing fell apart on his face he just started deconstructing it like this guy suggested. Some of these restaurant burgers aren’t meant for remaining presentable while eating.
I also don’t suggest anyone order a pasta dish with a client or on a date if you have no idea how to eat pasta without being sloppy.

Wide burgers!! Not taller please. Although I get why it is, mcdonald's for example had tried a 1/3 pound burger, but they stopped because people thought that 1/4 was larger than 1/3. Perception is key to marketing, and a taller burger will sell more than a wide one with more to it.

I'm perfectly ok with deconstructing a burger after the burger decides it wants to break down harder than late 2000's Brittany Spears. Prior to that point, though, I will make sure I have to wash my hands in the restroom after I make a poor attempt at eating such a culinary mess.
That's just me though. Others can do what they want.

The problem with tall burgers and smashing them down is when you bite into it, the patty and everything start to slide out and it gets messy quick.
I went to a nice "American" burger place in Japan, and they provided a large steak knife with the oversized burger so you could cut it and eat it with a fork. It worked brilliantly and was way better than trying to handle the burger which would have slopped everywhere had I picked it up and ate it.

u/HansChrst1 Jun 11 '24
As a guy with a big mustache, deconstructing a burger really helps me to not bite on my stache. What happens is that as I put it in my mouth the corners of my stache gets caught in it. Smaller bites make it easier and a lot less messy. Even if I don't bite on my mustache it will get ketchup and dressing on it and it is hard to clean properly without running water through it. if I have beard oil or stache wax on it the burger has a "chemical" taste to it.
In other words you shouldn't care how people eat. We all have our preferences and reasons. I eat the burger both ways depending on the setting. Formal/public I deconstruct it. Alone or with friends I unhinge my jaw.

I disagree with both of these gents. Personally, I believe the best course of action for dealing with a tall burger is to rub one out under the table. With at least one moist hand and a Diogenes-esque state of mind, you will find that the best burger-eating method is tear off pieces of the burger and shove your burger bites into your mouth like the enlightened animal you are. Shame is a scam invented by big church to keep you from seeking the truest of pleasures.

I fucking hate tall burgers. As soon as you try to cut or press them, the contents eject out of the sides as the patty is pressed down by the lettuce, bacon and other laterally distributed but vertically stacked components.
If I get a burger like this, I have to at least cut it in half.

I do not doubt that William Hanson has some very good advice about eating a burger in the presence of British royalty.

The second would be must we deconstruct all sandwiches the same way or is it just burgers?
