I think Kyle had the right idea trimming the buns. Its all about proportion and balance, ya know? I like to use those yummy and chewy Gayles francaise (sp?) rolls, but you gotta halve 'em, split 'em and hollow 'em out. Then make square patties. Worth it, though...mmmm.

Well thank you very much Luke.

gosh I was just reminded of two commercial jingles
two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onion on a sesame seed bun
and
hold the pickle hold the lettuce special orders don't upset us all we ask is to let us serve it your way
all three looked great, but I gotta go with Carl's burger . . just from the looks

Ronald Mc Donald said he couldn't come by for a taste test and I don't eat hamburger. So the contestants were the judges. Seemed to work to their satisfaction:)
OK, I guess a lot of the tasting process got cut out in the process of cutting about 30 minutes of footage into half. But I had your best interests in mind, because it was boring. :-)
Basically, they were all tasty. Kyle's was a little too toasted and dry, but actually tasted the most Big Mac®-like. So in that respect, he came out on top. I thought Papa's was the flat-out tastiest, though. (As did Papa.) More like a Whopper®. Mine was also good, but I was hurt by the inherent disadvantage of having to use those micro-patties.
@Toni: The YouTube video where Kyle got the recipe has the ingredients to the secret sauce.

Oh, by the way, this is no joke, I read that Researchers are now working on "Smello-vision" and "Tasto-Vision." ;-)

All of the burgers looked delicious ... In video 2 of this series, I could make out most the ingredients in your secret sauce recipe except for 1 Kyle, but I look at it a few more times until have it lol. I hear its all about the sauce :-)

As long as the masses are fed, everyone wins. The family of man (or Abbott) is sated, and all rivalry is forgotten, dissension is averted, and peace once again reigns on the western frontier. Wait a minute – sounds more like a recipe for socialism rather than a Big Mac. Have we been the victims of subliminal socialist propaganda? Is the Taoist and socialist agenda one in the same? Well, all I know is I agree with my Jasmin, in that I’m now hungry for a burger, so perhaps it was all just a capitalist trick to get us to go out and buy food to stimulate the economy. Whatever it was, a cooking video is may just be a cooking video after all, I enjoyed it. Thanks, fellas.

I'd like to echo Dan's comment. What was the Abbott family verdict?? Man watching you sizzle, chop, layer, assemble your masterpieces sure made me HUNGRY for a burger!
dan
