Definition: The catastrophic structural failure of a burger caused by poorly engineered ingredients. Think towering slabs of raw onion, lukewarm lettuce turning slimy, or a bun so soggy it disintegrates on contact. This transforms your meal into a slippery, sauce-squirting disaster requiring tactical paper towel deployment.
The culinary betrayal occurs when toppings are wildly disproportionate or texturally offensive (like donut buns or a half-inch tomato slice). Burgicide leaves you clutching sad bread scraps, questioning the chef’s life choices, and covered in condiments. It’s the murder of a perfectly good meal by gourmet abominations.
Example:
The towering burger suffered instant catastrophic structural failure; the soggy bun disintegrated under a slab of raw onion and slimy lettuce.
His “gourmet” creation was culinary betrayal: a donut bun and half-inch tomato slice caused disproportionate toppings to slide off, squirting sauce everywhere.
