Hamburger Tech: How That Paddy Gets From The Kitchen To You |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
April 18th, 2010 Ever wonder how that luscious hamburger you see depicted on the menu of your local burger joint ends up as the svelte paddy that you see when you open up your sandwich at your table? You may be surprised by the amount of technology that is employed to turn that oversized burger into something more palatable. You see, the fast food industry knows that it would be dangerous for your jaw muscles to try to bite into a huge hamburger like the one you see here. That's why there is a whole host of unseen actors that perform a kind of technological magic just to transform a burger like the one you see in the picture to something more negotiable by the average human mouth. |

2. After long hours of kidney-jarring punishment on a rough, bumpy construction site the burger should be ready for the next operation. |

3. A foreman examines the paddy to make sure it's ready for the final step. Here Biff Biifstakken casts an experienced eye to gauge how well the burger has thinned. The burger must fall within exacting tolerances. |

4. The paddy is then placed in the back pocket of an exuberant child so it can be further processed it into an ideal width by the sort of wild abandon that only such an urchin would possess. |

5. The final product: a paper-thin consistency with all the flavor and goodness you've come to expect; to be enjoyed without fear of lockjaw for young or old. |
