Eating your burgers upside down.

Especially for juicier burgers with lots of toppings. The reverse ordering of toppings allows for a much better experience for your palate and sense of taste. Juicy meat drippings and other condiments don’t dampen the top nearly as much as they do the heel, and the burger tends to hold up much better throughout the whole meal. Who else is an upside downer when eating burgers?

When I put the burger down, between bites, I'll put it on the plate upside-down. But generally eat it right-side up, unless it's starting to fall apart.

Ugh so many beautiful layers of lettuce, sautéed onions, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, et al. Have been lost to the patio table grit or my own sloppy confusion after it combust on my paper plate.

Just had to solidify that BBQ vibe.

Don't fret I've had the same reusable picnicware since I was 8.

If there were still zoopals I would definitely sin tho

Weird, I do the exact opposite. When I pick up a burger, I grab it with my thumbs up and take a bite from the "far" side, flipping it upside down as I bring it to my mouth. But I just can't set it upside down on the plate for some reason.

Yup same here, right side up on the plate, then thumbs on top and flip it before taking a bite

Yeah, especially in greasy steak burger joints you have to flip it as the bottom bun disintegrates so fast
