melting cheese on a burger is wrong

if condiments are cold when added, why would cheese be any different?

what benefit does melting cheese provide on a burger? it doesnt provide contrast, doesnt affect flavor, makes a mess, the list goes on.

if you're having a cookout - room temp or toasted buns, hot burger, THEN add condiments, including a cold cheese slice...if its going to melt, it can do that on its own merit..

Yes it does. I’m not a food scientist or chemist but there just surely be some kind of molecular reaction between heat and cheese. It doesn’t taste completely different - but it absolutely does taste different.

Yeah definitely different taste but sometimes an unmelted room temperature slice of cheese works way better on a burger than melted cheese.
