    It's weird that people have such an aversion to American cheese, but I think the issue is that they hear "American Cheese" and think "Kraft Singles". There's lots of good American cheese that actually is real cheese. Land o' Lakes makes a pretty nice real American cheese, it's usually sold in the deli case. That's what you should get for an application like this.

      Edit: The color additives in cheese are usually harmless. White american or cheddar is just my personal preference.

    Burgers are a perfect food example for measuring a chef's skill, intelligence, palette, ego, even age. Usually the more complicated, the more tall, the more grandiose the burger, the worse it tastes, the harder it is to eat, and the more I want to never return to the establishment.

    If you want a simple burger, cook 1/2 pound of ground Chuck, "season" it with salt and pepper, put it on a great value bun with no toppings other than a couple of slices of provolone. One on the top. One on the bottom. Beef cheese nd bread. The 3 main flavors of a burger that aren't hidden by other toppings.

  • @DavidFSloneEsq
    @DavidFSloneEsq 8 лет назад +2

    This does look delicious. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of putting salad on my burger, but, if the lettuce is shredded and on top of the burger, at least it shouldn't interfere too much with the bun absorbing the meat juices. Let's face it: The soggy bottom bun is almost as good as the burger itself. It's not a bun of constant sorrow.

  • @tmt1993
    @tmt1993 6 лет назад

    One point, the best way to make this type of burger is to keep the lettuce whole, but most importantly, the top of the cheese laden patty should be insulated (and further melted) by onions grilled in the beef fat from the patty. Extremely important. I would would say more important than the mayo is mustard. I love a a good dijon or german mustard, but this requires crappy yellow mustard. Aside from those points, this is spot on. Bacon is certainly never unwelcome.
