It's an entirely different level of mess you'd get on your hands eating a burger without a bun vs with a brioche bun. And anyhow, how are you getting all the fixins to stay in place without a bun? THAT is the primary purpose of the bun, IMO.

I realize that, but his objection is predicated on the "entire point" of a bun being to avoid greasy hands. I contend that is not the entire point, and that the brioche bun is not inferior with regard to the "entire point" of a bun.

Also, because a burger without a bun is like having a sandwich without the bread.
