Hot take: Brioche has no place anywhere near a burger. Give me a potato bun or give me death

Restaurants started doing this as some kind of status signal and it’s so so wrong

Too soft and is a sponge for the steam from the meat.

Nothing worse than a kaiser roll though

Amen! A non-enriched dough bun is my preference too. Burgers are rich enough especially with the usual toppings they put on them.

breakfast sandwiches however i get. the problem with brioche in general is it just disintegrates too quickly and makes the food feel less filling…

Yes, I had an acceptable breakfast sandwich using brioche last month. Still not my favorite but can be ok

Potato buns are the best buns and I will take no arguments to the contrary

I stand with you! We brook no criticism of the potato bun!

I have a great dislike of brioche buns too! Can't stand the sweet, sickly taste of a bun you can keep for weeks and it's still soft. 😳

I literally made myself beyond burgers with brioche buns for lunch today, they were pretty underwhelming Also the whole time this bit from RAIDERS was playing in my head: “They call him ‘Bellosch.’” “Ha! Belloq!”
