Do you prefer hamburgers and sandwiches store bought or home made? [View all]

I like to make my own hamburgers and sandwiches. I can buy the exact bread and cheese I like for each sandwich. I can get a good crispy caramelization on my meat patty. I can pull the sandwiches out of the oven hot and toasty.

How about you? Store bought or home made?
