You've been eating burgers wrong all this time as foodie hails 'better' way
How do you eat your burgers? Almost all of us will say that, quite simply, we pick it up and eat it with our hands. There are a few who might eat theirs with a knife and fork in order to stop their hands - and clothes - from getting messy, but according to one food fan, both of those methods are wrong.
Max Klymenko has claimed there's actually a much better way to eat your burger that stops the juices from leaking out the sides of the bun, and even helps the burger retain its structural integrity once you've taken a bite. So, what is the revolutionary technique? All you have to do is flip your burger upside down.
In a video shared to his @maxklymenko account on TikTok, the content creator said the "only correct way" to eat a burger is to pick it up and flip it upside down so that the bottom part of the bun is now facing upwards.
Max argued that this means the top bun, which is often thicker, can absorb all of the juice from the patty itself. He said: "The thick bun is facing downward and it's absorbing all of the juice in the burger. This way the burger will never fall apart."
The man's burger hack caused more controversy than expected in the comments, as while some people said they have always eaten their burgers this way, others claimed it was sacrilege, and they would "never" do it. One person wrote: "I always got clowned for flipping my burger when I eat it," while another disagreed, stating: "I'm not eating the burger that way and I never will."

Max's tip comes after a Michelin-star chef said we've also all been cooking our homemade burgers the wrong way, as we should never consider putting them on a barbecue. David Chang, whose flagship restaurant Momofuku in New York has two Michelin stars, said that instead of grilling a burger you should use a griddle pan or frying pan instead, as you get a juicy burger without burning the outside.
The 45-year-old chef said: "Grills suck for burgers. We have assumed as a culture that in summer, we eat a burger, and it's grilled. I actually think the grill is a horrible thing for the burger ... I think this viewpoint could get me in trouble. The success rate of the griddle is better than the grill, and also there's no clean-up, you have nothing to worry about. A juicy burger is going to turn into a guaranteed grease fire, why use it?
"This whole idea of imparting flavour from the grill, the only flavour that's being imparted is the carbonised c**p that's on it. You would need to cook a burger over charcoal for 12 hours to get that smoky flavour. I think the grill and the burger is a marketing lie."
