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
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.
Let them eat brioche!
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!
Potato buns are where it’s at. Light, soft, it lets the burger ingredients do the talking.
I feel personally attacked!
Besides, I actually opt not to coat them in butter, which means they are very much not greasy.
Most recipes tell you to smear melted butter on them right out the oven, but you don’t have to.
You mean egg wash???
No. That goes on before the oven.
Seriously, cinnamon rolls (at least the ones I make) are brioche and while the dough is pretty heavily butter reinforced, I wouldn’t ever use greasy to describe them after baking even after frosting.
Brioche isn’t supposed to be cloyingly sweet either, supposed to be subtle, I’ve done rolls like these from king Arthur, added sugar is 7.5% of flour.

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.
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.
Also, because a burger without a bun is like having a sandwich without the bread.
Completely agree
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.
Burgers are greasy, that doesn’t bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that’s what bothers me.
Stop putting sugar in everything. I don’t want a sweet Burger
Fuckin commie right here. Probably not even doing your part supporting big pharma by buying insulin. This guy probably puts less than two pumps of syrup is his morning coffee. I hope a bald eagle craps on your Chinese electric car guy.
GodCorn save theQueenGod-Emperor!I treat myself because I deserve it. Keeps me focused on working to pay off the treats.
our Chinese electric car
Because they’re fucking delicious that’s why
Fuckin’ A.
This luddite can go kick rocks. Brioche or bust
Wait, can we also accept pretzel? They’re pretty good.
A good pretzel bun is fantastic. But 9 times outta 10 is some stale, too-dense, chewy monstrosity of disappointment
I’ve heard potato buns are also good, though I’ve never had them myself.
Can be… Never order to go, they are quite hydrophilic and get soggy easier.
Tater buns are top-tier for backyard bbq in my book.
But also, I am an absolute unrepentant slut for pretzel buns 🤤
potato bread/buns are great! Try it if you ever get a chance
Spot on sir.
