Well. I don't know what the fuck kinda cheeseburgers I've been eating my whole life, but I tried an American style cheeseburger last night and I swear... Best goddamn burger I've had in my life.

There's a cheeseburger that isn't American style?
 
To me an American cheeseburger has to have American sliced cheese, no porable cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, pickle with MUSTARD only. No ketchup or mayo. Personally I like crisp bacon and jalapenos added.
 
We used to regularly drive across Central America from our gateway home along the Arizona-Sonora border. We ate many local and national foods whilst crossing the terrain. But upon our return, we always stopped at the Burger Thing just north of the border, to re-gringo-ize our guts with Woppers.

Guatemalan-made burgers, chow mein, pizzas, and crepes just aren't the same as elsewhere. Burger Thing in Oaxaca ain't like BT in Tucson. Trust me.

What's porable cheese?

I guess all melted cheeses are porable, but I guess that's not what you mean.
 
Bun, burger, cheese, cat soup, bun.

That's all there is. There ain't no more.

Some add moose turd or baby sliced cucumbers steeped in vinegar.

I vary the cheese sometimes, swiss or bleu

Maybe a wheat bun.

Salad goes on the side, not between the buns.

Lol....pretty cool when a cheeseburger is that transformative!!!
 
Does anyone actually ever have a hamburger? You know, sans cheese?

I can honestly not remember doing that.

If the beef is high quality, totally.

My local Italian restaurant has a burger et frites on the menu which uses fresh ground tenderloin and sauteed onions on a brioche bun with fresh cut shoestring fries...outstanding, no cheese required.
 
To me, the classic America cheeseburger is simple:

1. White bread buns.
2. Quality beef patty
3. American Cheese

Then condiments and accessories to your liking.

But, at the base level, it started with the tree ingredients above. Any variation is simply not an American Cheeseburger - it might be a great Cheeseburger, but it's not quintessentially American.
 
hey...

If it ain't gruyere, it's bare. :D



it can be done

but

if you wish to avoid sacrilege, heresy and excommunication from the Holy Church of Burgerlust, you have to layer it with the apropos toppings and sauce that beeyotch up. ;)


A easy prize winner for the most disgusting looking burger ---:
however I have tasted a burger that was put together like this one looks and it ALMOST changed my mind.
If it woulda had some jalapenos and been set up on tortilla ...that would been the tie-breaker.
(yea, I ain't been to church services in a while,)

Doesn't have to look pretty. It has to taste great. ;)

In fact, some of the best-tasting burgers I've ever had were partially sloppy, at least while eating them. Held together on the plate when served, but you knew it was going to be sweet delicious chaos as soon as you picked it up and gave it the first bite.

As long as there is a balance, it's enough. But there's a reason why five-napkin burgers are called exactly that. I don't trust a burger that looks excessively neat with no good stuff running down the edges. If there be cheese, it better look like it actually melted from grill or broil instead of sitting in the open for hours being heat lamped! :D
 
whats the difference between ours and yours?

The taste. The texture. The flavour combination. It was so simple, moist, and so delicious. It had beef (the most amazing beef patties) and layers of melted cheese and pickles and onions and tomato sauce? I'm not sure what sauce. But it was perfect.

I'm used to burgers that, well... have a variety of ingredients that sometimes don't combine quite well. Chicken or beef, onions, cheese, egg, bacon, beetroot, lettuce, tomato or bbq sauce, mayo etc on a burger bun. Sometimes even carrot. You name it, you can put it on a burger. Not that it's bad or anything, but the American style, for me... Just far superior.

I have never eaten a cheeseburger so I asked my manager's 15 year old daughter. After a few seconds reflection she replied, "If you can suck it rather than bite it, it's usually pretty good." :)

Sorry, you have to drive WAY more south to be in central America.

Just blowing the crud out of the golf cart doesn't get you that far but cool story brah.
