How To Eat A Burger Without Making A Mess

This Is The Perfect Way To Hold A Burger
|

Burgers are delicious, but eating them without looking like a messy toddler is almost impossible.

Should you go for the pick-up method? The fancy knife-and-fork method? Or the cut-it-in-half-then-shove-it-in-your-mouth method?

The possibilities are endless. But thankfully, the above video is here to show us all the perfect way to hold a burger.

First, you must flip your entire burger upside down. This is because the top bun is usually twice as thick as the bottom bun.

The flip also means your lettuce will be at the bottom of the burger, allowing it to act as a barrier for dripping juices.

Next, you’ve got to get your grip on the burger right. Place your thumb and little finger on the base of the burger, and your remaining fingers on top of the burger to keep your meat and condiments from falling out.

Follow these steps and you’ll be a master of burger consumption in no time.
