    I don’t understand sandwiches like this. What is the point of packing it so full of garbage that you can’t eat it like a sandwich. The minute I have to pick up a fork or spoon means it’s no longer a fucking sandwich and therefore loses like half its value

      So much this. It’s not even like this is a sloppy Joe. This is presented as a burger. It doesn’t even look appetizing to me.

      I have the same issues with hot dogs. Why is the dog bigger than the bun, plus if you add a bunch of toppings then they can spill out.

      At a lot of BBQ places, if you order a sandwich it’s literally just a small normal slice of white bread with the same amount of meat sitting on top of it as you would get from a “platter” option. I’ve had a real pulled pork sandwich before, and it was a actual sandwich you could pick up with your hands. What you have given me is a crime against common decency and language.

        That’s what we used emulsified sauces for (in addition to flavoring) when I was working in kitchens. Mayo for instance is a tasty sauce, but it’ll also prevent the bread from absorbing moisture from the other fillings.
