      Seriously. It's a fucking burger. You can NOT make that taste anything special by itself on a plate like that. There is no magic there. A good burger happens with the combination of ingredients, the great bread, etc.
      Eating a burger by itself on a plate no matter what magic you think you have is the most boring, uninspiring, waste of beef. You don't find people eating it that way for a reason. You would rather just opt out of beef and eat something else at that point.

    You clearly define your product so that there is consistency. When I worked fast food they had this manual that described in great detail how every sandwich should be made and how it should taste, down to the level of how far apart the pickles should be. The way he's describing making the burger here is pretty close to how that manual sounded when you read it.
    Employees won't necessarily listen, but if you define those standards and push for that consistency you'll at least move in that direction.

      I worked in a Subway franchise as a student and they were rigorous in making sure sandwiches were being made to their standard method right down to the sequence of actions.
      One day we had an assessment and the manager (who hated me) asked her favourite employee, who was a nice lady and a very good and diligent worker to be fair, to make the sandwiches for the assessor and she completely fucked up the formula and we failed even though most customers would have been perfectly happy with the sandwich she made. The manager was crestfallen for a week. It was glorious.

      I think he's referring to the fact that a lot of smash burger joints have finished burgers which you can only taste the cheese, bun, sauce and pickles. Every smash burger joint I've been too is exactly like that, can't taste the beef amongst too much of everything else. (And probably because their patties end up dry and crumbly)

    So to address everyone's points:
    1. He is not the boss of the place. He own a whole chain of restaurants and is visiting this one. Think of it like Col.Sanders visiting a KFC and cooking chicken for the employees.
    2. Although he almost definitely did not invent the smashburger, he sure as hell capitilized on it's popularity.
    3. He did not know where the spatula was because he does not work there. He is visiting one of his chains.
    4. Yes he does sound like a douche.
    5. Whether is really is a douche is debatable.
