Shooting a burger

Amazing video, isn't it?
It's also very interesting to note just how food styling has moved on, particularly in America where, for a long while, pretty much anything went. But they are definitely more in-line with how things are done and governed over here, that's for sure.
I can't remember for the life of me where I first saw it, or even where I last saw it for that matter, but there's a video out there somewhere which focuses entirely on the guy whose job it is to make the cheese 'pull' in the way that it does in those pizza commercials and promotional shots.
Fascinating stuff, even if you have no interest in the subject otherwise.

You just have to ask yourself after seeing that which one you would actually prefer to eat. The one made to look good is actually an inferior burger imo.
It's also not as bad as some pre-packaged sandwiches which actually make their products with basically nothing in the end corner.

Now I want to go get a quarter pounder!
Well, one of us must have missed something, because I could swear there are only two pickle slices in the bun.
And if you get two IRL then you can only have two in the shot - the guidelines are very strict on that.
Not to mention the meat isnt cooked through and that it and everything else has been sat around for a long time, gently warming up and having people breathe all over it.
Mmm. Tasty.
So much better than teh Big Mac. Big Macs are very overrated imo.
I think his point is that you see two in the front, it misleads you into thinking there are more further in the bun too.
Ah, I see why you mean there.
I suppose there's a small argument for leading you to believe the bun is stuffed with the damn things, but at the same time they aren't showing you anything you wouldn't normally receive.
I'd love to see one about the Big Mac. Styling all that bloody lettuce must be a monumental pain in the backside.
I know what you're saying, but it isn't unreasonable to expect to have the same view of the burger from all sides, so at least 4 pickle slices!
Mates used to make up the sandwiches in Gregs.
Basically went on a course that taught them how to make the sandwiches. Cunning trick they had to used was basically you stack everything in the middle then when you cut it you get that nice "thick" appearance at the front of the sandwich in the box with nothing at the back.

Very cool.
It's a quarter pound before cooking for what that's worth. I'm sure the buns have recently gotten smaller though, I don't remember the burger part sticking out so much.
It's not really a trick, if you try to make it ever all across you end up with a lot of waste and also a sandwich that is quite messy to eat. It's fine to do at home because you have a plate but when you consider a lot of people will be eating on the go they wan't something they can hold without bits going everywhere. Saying that some pre-packaged sandwiches take the mick more than others. The Sun did an article on the best BLT a little while ago, turns out Tesco do the best BLT.

Thats why I don't buy Sandwiches there anymore, I liked the look of their chargrilled chicken roll but when i bite into it, after 2 bites i realised the other side of the roll has hardly any meat. It's all stacked towards the opening.
