      It’s called criticism, We know you’re probably not used to that. And maybe if this video wasn’t titled “the best hamburger you’ll ever make” then it might not be so negative. I know for a fact I can make a better burger than this guy and I’m no professional chef.😂

    If you pull the last bun out of the package and it's on the verge of going stale, try this. At the stage you melted the cheese and put the buns on top of the burger, put a lid on the pan. Don't worry if squeezes the bun(s) a little bit or if it doesn't seal all the way. The lid will capture some escaping moisture and in about 60 seconds will steam your bun back to being fresh or fresh-ish at least.

    Great video. My item of note is the reason you dont like tomatoes is because you dont toast the buns. Toast the buns top and bottom = that will prevent the soggyness and vegetables sliding off like you mentioned. Also - dont do half-moon onions. Like you said, this isnt white castle. Peel the onion, cut them whole, and grill them in the meat juices. Much better in my opinion.

    To add one note: The order you add your toppings makes a difference in taste. Stuff beneath the patty comes to contact with the tongue earlier than the meat so you will taste those more than the stuff above the patty. And take notice how Frank eats his burger upside down. So if you want the closest taste to Frank's tasting and eat it straight you will have to put everything in reverse order :D

    Most fast food will dress the top of the bun with condiments arranged small to large to hold things in place.

    Gotta say Frank - you're missing a trick here with the Pickles ; chopped into tiny pieces and mixed with the Sauce is the way to go, then it's easier to add when building your Burger, all in a single application - you get little zingy bits with every mouthful and no pieces falling out. Also adding a little Pickle juice into the Sauce is a Shake Shack tip iirc - love it.

    Frank, i have a suggestion for the tomato on burgers...
    Personally i use confit tomatos for the burgers so i take out some of the moisture and sliminess that feels wrong in the burger
    Slice the tomato, put them in an oven tray with some olive oil, some salt and pepper and bake them on low heat until ready. By doing this it you end up with a better ingredient for a burger without having the drawbacks of the fresh tomato.
