The classic burger arrangement, from bottom to top, is designed for optimal flavor and structural integrity.
Here's the recommended order:
- Bottom Bun: The foundation.
- Patty: The star of the show.
- Cheese: Positioned directly on the patty to melt nicely.
- Ketchup: Adds sweetness and moisture.
- Pickles: Provides a tangy crunch.
- Onions: Offers a sharp and savory flavor.
- Tomatoes: Adds a juicy and slightly acidic element.
- Lettuce: Adds a refreshing crunch and prevents the top bun from getting soggy.
- Mustard: Adds a tangy and spicy kick.
- Top Bun: Completes the burger.
This layering strategy aims to prevent a soggy bun while maximizing flavor distribution. For example, placing lettuce closer to the top bun helps protect it from the moisture of the patty and other toppings. The order can be modified based on personal preference, but this arrangement is a common and effective starting point.
