Hamburger question: What's your preference for the size of the patty w/re the size of the bun? A) Patty is smaller, for the "tidy sandwich" B) Equal size, for the "layer-cake" effect C) Patty is bigger, for that "luxury carnivore" look

B. With A, the hamburger always end not getting enough sauce, and with C half the other toppings always fall off while you eat it.

B, with some overlap to A considered acceptable. nothing majorly overhanging anything else, no mountain of bread to stretch my jaw over, just a nice neat mouthful of delicious meat and bread and toppings

Ideally? B, but a few percent of the way to C.

I'm fine with both A and C if they're not too far different in size, but prefer B simply for the 'each bite has the same amount of meat/bread ratio' aspect. And the tidiness.

B, +/- a small margin. I like them about equal, but am not out there taking measurements.

A or B. Bun slightly larger than the patty is what I think is ideal.

b/c for sure. Like, larger is better, but maybe not like, a Wimpy's or Fuddruckers larger. Not that I wouldn't eat both.

Put the patty on a plate with some fries. Puns are just really bad bread. Why would I want that at all?

D) We don't need any stinking bun. Perhaps with just some cheese and salsa, but they are optional. C will be tolerated, if we don't have D available. Buns can be set aside.

Oh definitely B. I don't really like the meat slopping out of the bun, but I prefer the structural integrity that comes from all of the bits being similarly sized.

B or C. A little overhang is ok, especially if it's the crispy edges of a smash burger

B or C so you don't wind up with bites of "oops all bun"

I vote for C … but only *slightly* larger.

Equal size far and away, but if one has to be bigger it should be the patty because wads of bun without any burger are yuck
