The big bunless burgers - 1/3- to 1/2-pound - will come wrapped in large leaves of iceberg lettuce for a handhold on the burger and fixings.

HUH? Iceberg? I would have chosen Romaine, or butter (Boston Bib), or even California Green-leaf, either are much more flexible, and sturdy. I'll wait and see how it holds all of that topping stuff without dripping all over your tie...Bwhahahahahah

Well, I just went out and bought a Hardee's Low-Carb Double Thickburger. (Thanks to FR, because I haven't seen ad ONE about it in my locality.)

Carlo, you're right. While in principle, it's a nice idea, the iceberg lettuce really doesn't do much for holding the burger. However, the burger is so big, I'm not sure the other types of lettuce have big enough leaves to suffice (unless you can stitch them together somehow). The burger comes in a standard wax-paper pouch, and you pretty much have to leave it in the pouch to eat it, or it WILL drip all over your tie.

Pros: Quick, meaty and tasty, and no bun to throw away
Cons: No cheese (forgot to ask for it), messy, not much better than throwing away the bun

I'd be willing to pay a dollar more just to have a low-carb high-fiber bun. (Once again, ANOTHER thing I can make at home but can't seem to find at the store...)
