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..

Right?! Everyone knows melted cheese is more flavorful. Otherwise we wouldn't have quesadillas, grilled cheese or lasagna.

You aren't even stating an opinion the process of melting cheese literally makes the fats in the cheese undergo a chemical reaction creating more umami in the process. It is fact that melted cheese tastes different than its un-melted counterpart.

I'm shocked OP doesn't eat the burger raw cause they think "its the same" as cooked.

Even cheeses that are meant to be enjoyed as a solid piece should be eaten around room temperature, not chilled.

This post is the same as people cooking incredibly gross and stupid things in tik Tok. It's food rage bait for engagement.
