Even the biggest snobs have to admit that the burger is a beautiful gastronomic invention. Nothing hits quite like a hunk of warm meat (or equivalent substitute) between slices of bread.
However, judging by the transformations it has undergone in the past decade, perhaps it is a little too good. For a long time, it's seemed like every chef at a two-bit trendy restaurant has been in a race to the bottom to see how inedible they can make the classic sandwich, with plenty of awful contenders.
There has been backlash towards this burger gentrification process for a while now, but @griffski is the latest in line to speak up. Bemoaning that burgers should be wide, not tall, she started a full-blown debate about what makes it a good meal. It wasn't all bad news, though; some people also provided some shining examples to show that justice is out there.
