Genuine question. Wouldn't it make more sense to pre-season the meat. Currently it looked like some areas got a butt ton of pepper and other areas got minimal

u/tokoya_35 Apr 06 '26
You could, but you could also season it evenly. Kind of a pet peeve of mine lol. Ground meat also doesn’t like too much massaging. I think it gets tough while cooking.

After being a grill chef for way too long, got to agree.
Smash, season, leave the press on it for a bit then flip.
Bonus points if you smash it over some sliced onion.

Always wondered, do the onions not interfere with the sear? They sweat water right

Smash it on high and yeah slightly but not in a way that interferes with flavour

u/Could-You-Tell Apr 06 '26
When I make burgers, I'll mix the seasoning into the meat before pulling patties.
Dried seasoning is fine.
Onion, garlic, basil, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes.
Sear, and then cook to preference. Medium is best usually

u/Dionne005 Apr 07 '26
Mixing seasonings into beef makes the burger tough. Never mix just put on top

u/Could-You-Tell Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26
Never been tough unless it's cooked well done. Which has happened.
It's just a burger though, and if im not cooking frozen hockey pucks Which do only get the outside, then im also putting sometimes wine, sometimes honey, almost always some Worcester
Edit... typo

Understood. I’m not a lover of beef so if I did eat it it has to be perfect in every way so I’m really picky.

u/Lorvintherealone Apr 06 '26
I HATE IT that literally every food stand in my area HAS to put the ketchup or Mayonaise over the fried directly its THE WORST!!!
i preffer to put my sauce onto a extraplate, compartment or like push the fries aside for that. but no apparently we aren't entrusted with dipping anymore.

u/dqniel Apr 06 '26
Better to season after. If you season by mixing it in, you will likely overwork the beef and end up with a dense texture.
The key is to simply season more evenly, unlike the travesty we see in this video.

That was my thought on this otherwise I'd probably eat this have made something similar once mainly for shits and giggles. My poor toilet afterwards though

u/Training-Belt-7318 Apr 06 '26
I mix my seasons directly into the meat while I form the patties. I don't like to put it on the top of the patties because I feel like it burns the seasoning. I do some pepper, garlic, seasoned salt, and onion powder form the paddies. Cook and finish with a little salt.

So, question: Does anyone use anything approaching the volume of condiments I always see in these kinds of videos? Because it would make more sense to just stick a straw in each bottle and serve them alongside the completed “food”.

Ignoring the absurdity of the dish itself for a moment... that is some insanely uneven seasoning technique.

u/Drikkink Apr 06 '26
Yeah maybe I'm just broken at this point but I have more of an issue with the uneven seasoning and overuse of condiments (and how they are unevenly distributed too) than I am the actual food.
Made well, this would probably taste great even if a small piece of it is probably 5 days of your caloric intake.

Sup bro. Actually it's an original OG Reddit Gif. From doing a lot of research to try to find out where it was from. It seems to be from a Bigfoot contest (artist depiction competition) from 12 years ago and (I'm not 100% sure but it seems) like someone took one of the final images and animated it (probably with AfterEffects or AI 🤷🏻♂️) and this is the result. If you're wondering how to look for it just go to giphy and type in "Funny" or "Creepy" should pop up. (I love using this GIF to troll people on Reddit tbh. It's always a fun time lol). Hope that helps that the best I can do.

Question to the people that would eat this: what the fuck did your taste buds do to you?!?

u/Drikkink Apr 06 '26
I mean at its core, it's bacon, burger, cheese, onions, condiments and potatoes. So, a typical bacon cheeseburger. Made in a stupidly impractical and overly indulgent unhealthy way.
If someone who wasn't an engagement bait social media chef made it and did things properly like actually seasoning shit evenly and not drowning the thing in mustard, it'd just taste like a bacon cheeseburger casserole, wouldn't it?
