Thick vs Thin Burgers - Your perfect burger?

thin over fat anyday, though wide buns aren't as available as id like.

do yourselves a flavour and wrap up your homemade burgers in a bit of parchment/foil for a minute or two before consuming. it makes a world of difference.

Fried Chicken.

But if beef then I prefer smash, 70/30 beef works best imo.

For thick burgers smoking them then finishing on a hot grill works incredibly well, but requires you have the set up to do so.
 
About 125g of 20% fat mince. Well seasoned. Rolled into a ball and then squashed using a cherry profile space bar on each side with a heavy cutting board to my preferred size and thickness.

Yea that annoys me to , Tesco do the "large" buns which I would consider a very minimum.

You can the catering ones you get at the likes of burger vans which are much wider and flatter, and yes whilst I'm sure if you looked onto you can get hold of them they are not common in most shops.
 
If it is a real burger from fresh ground steak and is cooked a nice medium rare full of juice then definitely thick. Which is about the only burger i would bother eating as i rarely eat meat. If it is just cheap ground beef then a smash burger works better but i haven't had one in years.
 
Personally I prefer thicker burgers, cooked and juicy. Couple of options like beef, beef+caramelised onion, or even venison (add a slice of Bhut Jalokia on top).

The French do burgers, the in-laws do a steak tartar burger. I like my steaks rare/medium rare but not my burgers - cooked through please.
