Pro tip: a line cook at a spot in Austin told me to quit flipping my burgers twice
I was working the flat top at a busy lunch spot six months ago and flipping every patty twice out of habit, until a guy with 15 years on me said "you're drying them out, leave them alone." I tried the single flip for a full Saturday shift and the tickets came back cleaner. So what's the call here, does a single flip really beat the double, or was his advice just right for that one setup?

I used to flip mine twice out of pure habit and swore it made no difference, but after trying one flip on a slower night the patties stayed way juicier. His advice probably holds up on most flat tops, not just that one spot.
