Burgers are one of those foods that can be personalised and often they are, although many takeaways, some of whom are very famous, offer an' already dressed', or suggested topping. Topping is the wording I've used but in actual fact if you want to 'dress' a burger properly there is an order to do that in. Food types used in the wrong order can leave the bap soggy, the meat sliding from the bap and even the lettuce wilting.....Yes we all have our opinion on how to 'dress' a burger as sad as that might seem it is all part and parcel of my job and over the years I believe I have found a basic rule of thumb....the bap needs to be toasted properly for one thing, this might seem obvious but the amount of burgers that have bread soft buns which just means the texture between the bap and the meat is totally wrong, in my opinion of course, then the sauces, the sauce can really compliment and finish off a burger. (Think of it as putting after shave or perfume on before you leave the house, you need just the right amount). A dollop of your chosen sauce smeared across the bap with the back of your spoon should give you the correct sauce, bun, meat ratio. After this the next tip I can give you is to keep lettuce away from the meat when possible, depending on the other toppings that have been ordered by your customer. I do realise that won't always be possible, but keeping the lettuce off the burger meat will help to keep it crisp while keeping the cheese on the meat will help it to melt
