Also anyone else that isn’t a ameri-burger-ican can chip in too.
You, beloved reader, observe the image above for a second, paying specific attention to the bready-squishy bits known as the “bums”, I’m sorry I mean “Buns” - no that’s wasn’t a slip-up I did that on purpose!
ahem
So back to the main topic, I trust by now you’ve looked at the above image and noted that the bready-squichy bits are labeled as “the crown” for the more rounded and breadier half thats just absolutely caked with seeds whereas the half of the bun that’s less flat than me is called the “heel”…for some reason.
With these two important bits of knowledge firmly embedded in the forbidden yogurt that is your brain, I wish to pose upon you a very important and intimate question…
DO YOU, AMERICAN - OR SOME OTHER NATIONALITY THAT HAS THE MISFORTUNE TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THEM - EAT YOUR HAMBURGERS WITH THE CROWN TOWARDS THE GROUND OR WITH THE HEELS OF THE BURGER RESTING ON YOUR THUMBS?
TRANSLATION: DO YOU EAT WITH HEEL UP OR CROWN DOWN?
Also feel free to share any nice burger recipes or cooking tips, it’s summer after all. The time to grill 
I often end up doing this because anything burger shaped has become so large and so tall trying to eat it with your hands is impractical. It’s just gonna go everywhere.
anti-shrinkflation. growflation, even
My best friend as a teen ate burgers by eating the meat and cheese with his bare hands, then eating the bun with ketchup(no other toppings because he and his whole family didn’t eat any vegetables). He ate pizza the same way.

Grams Millies???
If the sandwich is very saucy I’ll go opposite way because the soggy bun will be on top.
I have read the comments and have eaten with other people, so I know I’m a weirdo, but I think the crown has more structure, so it makes a better foundation. I use it for the bottom. I will often put the pickles down there too, because the pickles and onions and tomatoes all push each other around (and off the sandwich) if they’re in the same area.
I didn’t expect to be the only person in these comments who does this 😔
If it’s a thin, fast-food style burger, I usually eat it crown down.
If it’s a thicker restaurant or home-make burger, I usually eat it heel up.
I have no idea why I do it this way, but this is my main pattern.
I just peck at the little seeds on top mostly
QUIT EATING THE SEEDS OFF MY BUNS YOU SPOONY OWL!
HSSSSS MY SEEEDSSSS
THEY WERE SECRETLY A SNAKE THIS WHOLE TIME
The burrowing owl (lives in the ground, in burrows) actually makes a rattlesnake sound to deter predators
You can’t fool me!
Heel to the ground, patriot found; heel to the sky, Russian spy.
Thumb and pinky finger on the heel, my other fingers on the crown
Complete and total control of the bun
What kind of sick fuck is flipping a burger 180° before biting into it?
Sometimes the bun heel doesn’t have pleasant proportions or have the structural integrity to support the rest of the burger. In such cases, you either flip it over or risk the tomato slices and gerkins falling out the side and getting mustard on your shirt.
Edge case, the exception that proves the rule
it’s a propa reasonNow if there’s someone who flips it from the jump because they prefer it upside down
Crown goes on top, also, veggies go on TOP of patty. stop making your burgers upside down
I would say that onion under the party is totally valid, it allows for crunch on both sides if you have pickles on top which creates a satisfying mouth feel.
Set down that crown on the ground
I have never seen anybody eat them heel up. However I will say, last time I ate borglar, if the lettuce ends up under the patty I will eat the bastard with the heel up. Lettuce on top >>>>>>>>> bun orientation
TRANSLATION: DO YOU EAT WITH HEEL UP OR CROWN DOWN?
No
is that image just fucking weird or did I have a stroke
It’s a poorly made burger, it’s not just you
Nobody uses those terms, it’s just top bun bottom bun.
