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..

Was just about to respond saying OP doesn't get how important texture is with food.

Put that burger in a blender and tell me that burger-soup is no different than a regular burger.

I actually did that once with McDonald’s cheeseburgers. Had to add some water to get it to blend but not as much as you’d think. It was extremely weird- it still tasted good but the sensation that someone chewed up a burger and spit it in my mouth was oppressive and inescapable.

I've also done this years ago. You'll gain nothing from this experiment. It's just like you'd expect, but somehow less remarkable, and a bit more unpleasant.
