When you bite into our bacon cheeseburgers in Jersey City, chances are you’ll forget all about the right and wrong ways of eating a burger. But there are still a few rules of thumb that can make eating a burger much easier for you, and you can find out what they are below:
Check Your Finger Placement
Have you always eaten burgers with four fingers on the top and just your thumbs on the bottom? This one’s going to come as a surprise. Scientific research done in Japan found that there is a right way of holding a burger.
If you keep your thumbs and pinkies at the bottom and spread your other three fingers evenly over the top, your burger will be less likely to lose its toppings.
No Tight Grips
Even if you’re holding your burger correctly, as we just described, you don’t want to grip it too tightly. Hold it firmly enough to keep all the toppings and fixings in place, but not so tight that you squeeze them right out of the burger!
Cut Up Your Burger
You don’t want your burger to dislocate your jaw. If a quarter pound burger in Jersey City is too big to eat comfortably, consider cutting it into two halves to keep things manageable. You can even cut up larger burgers into quarters for more convenience.
Go Easy on the Condiments
The patty should always be the main attraction in a burger. Make sure it stays that way by going easy on condiments such as ketchup, chili sauce, mayo, or mustard. This will allow the seasoning and flavor to come through in every bite—and it will keep the toppings from slipping and sliding.
Flip the Burger
This is more of a burger hack than etiquette advice—but if it works, it works, right? Eating your burger upside down is a trick many people swear by. Since the upper part of a burger bun is thicker than the lower part, it does a better job of soaking up juices and preventing messes. Give this one a try the next time your order burgers in Jersey City.
