Sweet onions, particularly Vidalia onions from Peru, are prioritized not only for their sweetness but also for their ease of slicing. Professional kitchen equipment slices through these onions in seconds, vastly improving efficiency compared to the tedious manual slicing of yesteryear—a process humorously likened to the iconic album “The Dark Side of the Moon.”

The initial bite into the bun is essential; the aroma of yeast is said to trigger joyful anticipation in the brain.
