I eat my hamburgers with a knife and fork now

I mean, not hamburgers from Wendy's or anything, but if I'm making one at home or at a local bar/brewery. I usually take the top of the bun off too.

Not to derail this thread but you all underestimate how far people will go to not thouch their food

I work in a Mexican restaurant, and every single day I see people eating tacos (soft and hard) and burritos with knives and forks.

Like, just use your hands god dammit.

What if the filling spills on my suit that I bought for my first job interview in my life? Huh? Ever thought about that?

It's kinda hard to get Mexican food in Germany so I've never eaten a taco or a burrito.
 
That's different. You wouldn't go get a slice in New York and eat it with a knife and fork.
When i was in New York 2 years ago i had pizza on 3 different occasions and on all 3 i ate it with a fork and knife.

Know how many people cared? none.
 
Fork and knife it is. I avoid touching food directly whenever possible. It's just easier and cleaner for me.

One of my go-to snacks is to just crush some tortilla chips in a bowl and add cheese and a diced hard-boiled egg. Heat up to melt the cheese, then add salsa, diced avocado, and sour cream. Mix up with a spoon and eat out of the bowl. Delicious!
 
sometimes in pubs the burgers are stupidly big and you have to use a knife and fork, not at home though.

This certainly is a problem at some places, but I still could never get myself to dissect a burger. It ruins the entire meal.
 
I eat pretty much anything with a knife and fork when possible. A habit from wearing hearing aids. I want to be able to touch them (adjust them, put a new battery in if I'm out with someone since I'm essentially deaf if my battery goes - and it isn't something I predict and I refuse to waste a battery just to put a new one in on the chance it may die that day) so I really want to avoid getting my hands and thus my hearing aids dirty. They are far too expensive to risk. I suppose I could always use the restroom to wash my hands, but there is no guarantee that there is one nearby and I don't really want to leave my food (to get cold or whatever) just to wash my hands.
 
I do sometimes since it falls apart often, but just a That way all the ingredients don't get on my hands when playing a game or something.

Do it with pizza sometimes too when I'm using dressing or something. A lot easier to slide dip with a fork
and smalet boye


I never thought about it,, but logically makes since to do that to roll the bite around on the fork in dressing of ketchup to get the sauce on a greater percentage of the food. Just can't do that with a pizza slice or burger on a plate.

I also mix jelly into my sausage and heavy. Cut the biscuit and sausage into small bite, mix the jelly in the gravy with everything together til it's very purple. So good...


Why y'all need a knife for pizza? Fork sideways a decent the wiggle cut works wonderfully
 
Of all the things to get angry at someone about, how they eat hamburgers.

GAF needs to lighten up.
I doubt anyone is really upset, just disappointed.

Hold it over the plate as you bite.

Also, you're missing out, big time.

Oh they cared, they just didn't want to be seen talking to the animal eating his pizza with a fork and knife.
 
It's called a hot open faced sandwich. It's a sign you are getting old, next you are going to like alot of sour stuff and order pistacio almond ice cream.
 
Who do you think you are OP? Jumping up two social classes? You can't fool me. Now know your place and eat that food with your hands.
 
If you see it enough you pick up on it too.

I don't always use a fork, more often not. Just depends on the time, extras such as mayo, ketchup etc

If I use a plate at home probably will go for.

Never did it for Wendy's chicken sandwich, but do dip in ketchup.
 
Why not just order a steak?

In that Trump pic, the suit he's wearing is probably really expensive. I wouldn't want to get sauce on it either.
 
The entire point of a burger is biting through layers of different flavors and textures. Eating it with a fork and knife ruins that. I really don't understand the size argument either. My mouth isn't particularly big, but
I stack my burgers taller than the vast majority of people and I still don't have any issues biting through them. You just have to attack it from the right angle.
 
Depending on the restaurant, sometimes you have to.

Some restaurants stack their burgers so high - and that, in combination with the type of bun they use, makes it nearly impossible to eat with your hands unless you want to make a mess.

I don't get this. It's not even high.

The greens are propping the bun up, so all you have to do is press it a bit and you can easily eat it.

What bar and brewery do you go to that allows you to make your own burgers? No offense but using a fork and knife with a burger is not my thing. It takes too long for the meat to hit my tongue and that is the reason I don't use a fork/knife. Call me lazy fuck all you want. Hit me now not later but right now with the flavor morsels. It's just something so beautifully savage about one handing a burger after being hungry. It's like waking up and one handing the like button on IG and watching a youtube video with multitasking efficiency after waking up.
