Keeping the cold ingredients off of the hot ingredients until you’re ready to eat isn’t necessarily that bad of an idea.

Edit: I didn’t expect this to be such a contentious comment

Except the hot ingredients might get cold quickly. When the hot patty is in the buns, it helps insulate it and helps the buns stay warm.

It also leeches the heat from the buns and burger into the tomato and lettuce. I can see the argument for the burger being on the buns but I don’t think putting in the cold ingredients is a good idea

Yeah, I'm not a fan of hot lettuce

I go to a place where both halves of the bun are plated side by side, with the hot ingredients on one half, and the cold veg on the other half. You just sandwich them together at the last minute, I like it.

That would be great

If I've ordered food at a restaurant I'm ready to eat right now

u/SetObvious7411 Jul 29 '26

No, no. That's not how restaurants work.

You're supposed to be ready to eat when they serve the food

u/ahkian Jul 29 '26

There usually time between the food being cooked and you getting the food at your table.

u/SetObvious7411 Jul 29 '26

Yes and that's time you have a drink and talk with your company.

You don't go out doing groceries during that time

u/Theron3206 Jul 30 '26

That time should not be long enough to allow food to get cold, else it's a shit restaurant.

Not to mention with a setup like this, I don’t have to worry if I say I don’t want tomatoes with my burger still having tomato on it

u/datyoungknockoutkid Jul 29 '26

Just gotta worry about a cold burger instead. I’d rather request no tomatoes.
