Brioche buns with burgers...

Why oh why has every pub, restaurant, and street food vendor decided that burgers should now be served in brioche buns?

Brioche does not go with burgers! Burgers are savory and brioche is like cake!

Did the Uk get a load of brioche in our Brexit deal or something?

Unnecessary imho

Marmite27 · 17/07/2021 21:38

YABU.

Im used to it now as everywhere does it.

Calvinlookingforhobbes · 17/07/2021 21:39

YABU

I like them except they tend to disintegrate which is annoying 🙄

Oh I agree with you! I just want a regular burger bun when I have a burger. I find the brioche too sweet at the best of times and it's so eggy. Yuk!

Velvetbee · 17/07/2021 21:42

I agree, really nasty together.

But sweet and savoury DO go together. One of the nicest burgers I’ve had was topped with bacon and toasted marshmallows. Sounds awful, tasted divine!

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 17/07/2021 21:43

I LIKE IT.

I won't order a burger if a brioche bun is threatened.

It's plain fucking wrong.b

mineofuselessinformation · 17/07/2021 21:46

Another one here who doesn't like it.
Burgers belong with bread buns.
Why mess with something that works?

AnUnoriginalUsername · 17/07/2021 21:46

I much prefer brioche with a burger, plain white bread is just dry and boring.

Actupfishy · 17/07/2021 21:47

Whole heartedly agree, it’s like pineapple on pizza or raisins in curry big fat NO from me! 🤚

Fizbosshoes · 17/07/2021 21:47

I generally dont eat burger buns (apart from maccy d) as I dont want to be too full for chips and pudding

3Lions · 17/07/2021 21:48

Oooo I do miss a good old sesame seed bun!

Rabbitheadlights · 17/07/2021 21:48

Agree completely, infact I can't think of anything that does belong on a brioche bun.

SoLongAsTheresCheese · 17/07/2021 21:48

I don't mind brioche buns though I have had one or two that were to sweet but generally I prefer the old school sesame seeded buns.

Beamur · 17/07/2021 21:48

I'm with you OP.
Really dislike brioche with burgers. It's horrible.. rarely the choice of anything else either

youdoyoutoday · 17/07/2021 21:48

It's yummy!!

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 17/07/2021 21:49

I have found my tribe! I like brioche, I like burgers, but not the 2 together.

AnyFucker · 17/07/2021 21:49

I have held a bbq this evening and I had both brioche and plain buns on offer

The most popular were the brioche ones. So Yabu.

Brefugee · 17/07/2021 21:50

it depends what's on the burger. Sometimes it goes, sometimes not.

Daisychaincarrot · 17/07/2021 21:50

Or when a hot dog comes in a brioche bun. That is definitely wrong

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 17/07/2021 21:50

I wont eat a burger if it doesnt come with brioche. There. Ive said it and im sticking with it.

Dollpiglet · 17/07/2021 21:50

Americans have chicken burgers made with waffles and maple syrup so this is only just the start.
