This's Methdozer and the views I am about to express are not necessarily those of anyone but me. But ought to be and as a matter of fact probably are.
Thin large radius cheeseburgers are infinitely better than big thick burgers. The burger's flavor is proportional to the char and grill and a thick burger just lacks in every way to a thin smashed patty. Places and folks who rant and rave about how thick their burger are, are just showing they don't know how to develope flavor and make a good burger. Thick burgers are just bland and taste like the color grey. Reguardless of how they are cooked.
Fuck a thick burger. Thin is where it is at.
