Interesting, and I think this may finally explain something...
My dad's burgers were the best and I couldn't replicate them. Until I started using his secret that was right in front of us the whole time!....
As soon as the burgers were done, he'd take them straight off the grill/cooktop and put them on an bun assembled with the basics. Then every assembled burger would go straight into the empty plastic bun bag for a quick hold... perfectly 'steaming' the buns and melting the cheese perfectly!
For a while I’ve been contemplating taking orders and assembling burgers for my guests. Reality is that many people misjudge the quantity needed of each ingredient - too little of this, too much of that - same happens when people make burritos, and I already have a lot of friends ask me to assemble their burritos when we have Mexican.
The wrapping would make this whole concept come together for me. Might have to pick up a pack and experiment!
EDIT: just read the article again and my theory is looking like the route for my next burger event. One of the issues I often run in to is trying to cook and plate 20+ burgers (often doubles) for a crowd without getting cold or drying out. By assembling them myself and wrapping I could either kick them out as they’re ready (like a fast food restaurant does) or keep them all in a warming oven so everyone gets a piping hot burger just how they ordered it!

It kind of depends on the burger for me. If I am doing a smash burger or one with thinner patties and minimal toppings I like to wrap them. If it is a thicker burger with more stuff I don't worry about wrapping as much.
