Opposite for me; I would eat the hamburger but not the bun. But that may be just because I like hamburgers.

I'm the same way. Depending on my hunger level, I'll eat the meat out from between the last bit of bread and stop.

However, part of this might be due to not liking hamburger buns as a bread (too sweet?). I don't tend to leave the last bit of bread when it's a fresh piece of french bread, though I still wouldn't pick at the bread when I'm done eating the sandwich.

Are you another one that would eat the filet mignon instead of desert?

Yes.
