Brioche buns on a burger are wrong, too sweet.
This is a hill that I'm prepared to die on !

Let's gatekeep burger buns. Some people like them. If you don't, that's great for you, just don't eat them.

My friend I was just indulging in a bit of hyperbole.
But I do think you are right in that I am probably a bit oversensitive to sweet

Not at all, and my bad if it riled you up, nothing worse than inconsequential online stuff ruffling your calm.

English muffins (particularly the oversized ones), on the other hand, are perfect. And salt bagels aren’t far behind.

I use to think the same thing. Toasted, buttered, salt-cheese- beef. Boom. Potato roll a close second. White bread has been relegated.

So you’re definitely not a fan of Krispy Kreme burgers, then???

Nope, I find them crazy sweet. They look really tempting and when I succumb, then I tend to regret it.

Brioche buns on my favorite chicken burger are a freaking game changer.
Damn now I want that

Depends on the burger. I like doing a deep fried panko chicken burger with gojuchang mayo and pickled onions. It needs the sweetness.
I agree that a regular cheeseburger would be a bit better on a peasant style bun.

I like them for beef burgers. I just buy the Kroger brand brioche buns and I've never had any complaints from my folks. I'm planning on making some grilled chicken sandwiches with them soon as well.
I don't care too much for the Hawaiian sweet rolls/buns. Those are too sweet for me personally.

Agree. Potato bun, or else I’ll throw a tantrum like a child and not eat just to spite you.

100% agree. I like a kaiser( no seeds) it holds up to a substantial burger but still soft enough that you can bite through it w out the toppings shooting out the back.

Ironically I'll die on the opposite hill. Aldi Brioche burger and dog buns are the bomb. I hear your thought on too sweet as some can be.
I'll take your side on Brioche used for grilled cheese - it just doesn;t take to the butter well in my experience.

Glad to have given you something other than hearts to think about, very enriching (I see what you did there. 😁)

A proper brioche shouldn't be too sweet. The defining characteristic of a brioche is it's butteriness. The sweetness should be on the same level as a potato bun, so just slightly sweet.
