Skull LeaderLet's talk about cheese burgers for a minute
http://www.foxnews.com/food-dr...s-up-on-twitter.htmlThis article about Google's cheese placement on their burger emoji brought up the topic.
I actually place my cheese under the patty like in the emoji. I feel that placing the patty in-between the cheese and condiments only leads to a messy burger.
I build my burger in this order:
Bottom bun, pickles, cheese, patty, additional veggies, condiments and then top bun.
Thoughts? Did I just out myself as a commie bastard?

Steve CollinsCheese on the bottom and the top! And in between if it is a double/triple cheeseburger.

How you build your burger in your own house is up to you. But are you eating red meat, or having a salad?
What is this "additional veggies" clause doing in your description? A piece of lettuce to help keep the juice from soaking through the bun is acceptable. You have a plural form, so seems you may be a commie bastard. Zip up you jammies and enjoy your cocoa...

rusbroNo no no... Ideally, cheese on top because the patty is still hot enough to cause a bit of a melting of the cheese due to heat rising, which makes it all more better.

Spokane228Fatburger not only puts cheese under the patty, but turns the wrapped burger upside down so the cheese melts “up” onto the edges of the patty.

marksman41Cheese gets melted on top of the burger - you commie bastard.

WayniacBottom bun, meat, cheese, top bun. No veggies, no condiments.

RogueJSKYou could always just use two slices of cheese: one under and one over. Best of both worlds.

I typically put it on top. The heat of the burger helps melt the cheese. In fact, I usually add the cheese to the patty while on the grill and leave it for ~30 seconds before removing the patty from the grill, to enhance melting.
My burgers usually look like this:
Top bun
Thin layer of mayo
Pickles
Tomato (optional)
Lettuce (optional)
Cheese
Meat
Thin layer of mayo
Bottom bun
The mayo isn't so much for flavor, as it is to provide a barrier to prevent the bun from getting soggy from pickle/tomato/meat juice. (I think I got that trick from Alton Brown.)

You're both commies. Maybe.

Mayo is what keeps the burger juice from soaking the upper and lower buns. Pickle and onion are always acceptable veggies. Lettuce and tomato are ok, but not necessary. Avocado, kale, spinach, sprouts or anything else that's not bacon is full on GDC territory.

Skull LeaderAdditional veggies would be onion and tomato. I don't really like lettuce, but force myself to have a little to make myself feel better about my dietary habits.

and toasting it first adds additional soakage protection, as well as added flavor and texture.
And if your cheese is that plastic wrapped imitation, just leave now.

GeorgeairIf you guys are putting the cheese on AS you're assembling the burger, you're already too late.

BisleyblackhawkCheese on the top...then the bacon, onion, mustard, lettuce and tomato, with mayo smeared on the top bun to glue everything together...pickles on the side...
That's the way my dad taught me...his father taught him and it's been the only approved procedure in a dozen generations

(we once had a "family member" put the cheese on the bottom...he now sleeps with the fishes)

46and2Toast bun, apply mayo/etc, and never worry about juice soaking into the bottom bun.
The cheese goes on top, before the burger is removed from grill/pan, to facilitate melting.

brywardsBuns on upper rack of gas grill/outer edge of charcoal grill 1-2 minutes, cheese on patty just before removal from grill.

Pickles
Tomato
Ketchup/mustard
Crispy bacon

HRKCheese, preferably bleu cheese goes into the raw hamburger as a part of the mix and then they are placed on a 325 degree smoker where the cheese slowly cooks and melts inside the burger (some outside) into a hot spicy delicious burger.
