Supernatural

Dean Winchester eats burgers the way other heroes check their weapons: constantly, and with complete focus. Across fifteen seasons the show kept sitting him down in front of diner plates, and a few of those burgers turned into running jokes of their own.

This folder rebuilds them, from a cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy and a Luther burger on glazed doughnuts to a turducken slammer that sounds more like a dare than a meal, plus the plain diner burger the show uses to bring everyone back down to earth.

The show’s best-known burger scene is “My Bloody Valentine”, the fourteenth episode of season five, first aired on 11 February 2010. Famine, one of the Four Horsemen, arrives in a small town and turns everyone’s appetites against them. Dean pushes his burger away; Castiel, whose borrowed body belonged to a man who loved red meat, takes it and then eats hamburgers through an entire stakeout while Dean asks since when angels secretly hunger for White Castle. The raw meat he tears into later in the episode was vegetarian sausage mixed with tomato paste.
