I've heard about this meat indentation thing. Several chefs on The Food Network advocates it, though I don't recall who. Here's an article quoting Bobby Flay about the procedure.

I've not tried it, but I make my burgers on a "George Foreman" grill, so mine are being cooked from top and bottom at the same time. I'm not sure the indent would remain in the process.
