Heh, you have a point there. Even the frozen burgers you
can get frozen in a box are thicker, aren't they?

My husband worked at a small town burger joint as
a kid, and his boss always bragged that they bought patties which were
1/10th of a pound each, while McD's used patties which weighed 1/12th of
a pound. I have trouble keeping a patty that's 1/5th of a pound from
falling apart!

See through burgers! What do they say (McDs) anyway, 1/4 lb
(small print: before cooking) patties? By the time that is flattened
to cover a bun, forget it. I have a third pound minimum rule, I
think. And I would be surprised if I got that in a restaurant, they're
usually much larger.
