I think it appeals to bigger people who eat something like that to "treat themselves."

It's a burger. 99% of people don't eat small low calorie gourmet sliders.

That first one has too god damn much sauce, not to mention most of it will be off the burger by the time you bite, making most if it useless. The second burger the cheese is already being squeezed out from inbetween the patties. I try to make fancy burgers but I usually notice most of the toppings I add to it fall off, so you end up having to scoop with the burger to get the toppings back on it somewhat.

I see pictures like OP and the second one and I get disappointed, I guess maybe use bigger burgers or better toppings or something. I think the only places that get it right are Red Robin and Five Guys. And five guys is barely pushing it because by the time you get halfway through the burger I guarantee you're not getting all the toppings you see.

Second burger looks like it'll be fine, but the cheese is gonna suffer. In general I think liquid type toppings just get smooshed out when you try to take a full bite top to bottom of a burger, rendering it pointless.

People over melt cheese. Thats the common denominator between those burgers and I agree, I dont get the appeal.

Id rather have a still semi-solid slice of cheese rather than an oozing mess.

so it's inches-tall burgers with ooze and slop coming out, or low cal sliders?

People know what they like to eat. The burger looks like one they'd like.

It's really not that complicated.

And yeah, it looks sloppy. So what? I want to eat it, not stare at it.

I agree with you TC. Those two examples arnt that bad, but most things that are just a dripping mess look gross to me.

Usually the worst offenders are the state fair foods and the garbage plates. Garbage plates are just gross to me

Things that look like theyre meaty and with good chew will always make yo mouth water

Things that look succulent, that refreshment of something juicy and the juices that quench your hunger. What makes me really get hard though is when you see that cheese just melt instead of just plopped on there straight from the fridge... so ****ing t h i c c when its all melts

I don't understand way too tall burgers. Maybe my mouth is too small, but even with a large mouth, it looks like you have to dislocate your jaw to eat some of those tall burgers.

yeah, im not sure which part is more off-putting to me - the height of the sandwich or the thickness of the meat

Imagine your typical cookout food, and slop it all onto a plate together with ketchup and mustard.

It should look like this:

See, that one's all neat and clean, no towering greasy meat, no sloppy sauce or cheese to get in the way, just a good old fashioned burger how it's meant to be enjoyed.

Because it looks delicious to many people. I'm sure you're not the only one it doesn't look appetizing to, but they can't anti-share it or whatever on Instagram.

I couldnt eat that, but I havent been able to really eat burgers more than a couple times a year since going through a vegetarian phase years back. Thats way too fatty and itll hit your gut like a nuke.

edit: oh, and overly fatty and cheesy amalgamations of garbage appeal to kids and fatties. Primarily American midwest.

They look like they would taste great.
I'm not a fan of the lack of structural integrity, though. Actually eating them would be a mess.
