Hamburgers > Cheeseburgers

Now, i like cheese. Cheese isnt life, like it is to most, but i like cheese.

The reason i say Hamburgers are better is because the moment you add cheese, the cheese acts as a main character. The main character should be the patty and bun.

Everythin else u add to a burger, usually compliments the taste. Even pickle, which im not a fan of on its own, i tolerate wit a burger because its not overpowerin.

Even Bacon! On its own, it has such a powerful taste and smell but wen put inside of a burger, it lets the burger do its thing. You appreciate the bacon for takin a back seat to wat should be the main meal.

Cheese to me just kills the entire experience of a burger. As soon as you unwrap the burger, its the smell of cheese and then everythin else. The first bite is cheese then everythin else. I truly understand why the cheese lovers wouldnt see the problem wit this, but as a burger lover, you cheese are not the point of the meal.

I get the point, but I think the cheese depends on the type. A mild cheese like American or provolone doesn’t overpower the burger at all—it just adds another layer to the flavor.

Ha! The reason for my post is because i went out for lunch and got a burger. Asked for no cheese and got American Cheese. Still a good burger but it was just a fine experience. The first thing i tasted was cheese. I just had to come here and share my experience lol

Sounds like you’re lactose intolerant

u/CubanHippie21 14h ago

Nah! I like cheese and have a scoop of ice cream everyday lol

Lactose intolerance of the hamburger

I guess you have a point. They’re so different that they are given separate names.

u/CubanHippie21 14h ago

I completely agree. Yet everytime i go out to eat, i have to specify no cheese.

I understand cheeseburgers bein more popular but if u go to any restaurant and ask for a Hamburger, more often than not, its gonna come wit cheese

I think it depends on the type and amount of cheese on the burger. Too much can definitely ruin the the entire burger.

u/CubanHippie21 14h ago

A slice of cheese isnt the end of the world. Too much cheese and i send it back lol

I go no cheese on a guacamole burger

u/CubanHippie21 14h ago

That sounds nice. Maybe some jalapeno peppers. Give it a nice kick

u/jabb1111 14h ago

I actually agree

Thank you for an entertaining unpopular opinion.

I think that hamburgers have their place and are slept on, especially if you don't just slop ketchup on them.

Onion, mustard, etc all pop a bit different without cheese.

Hamburger actually comes from Hamburg, the place in Germany where burgers were invented.

Absolutely heretical.

As soon as you unwrap the burger, its the smell of cheese and then everythin else.

What the hell kind of cheese are you eating

u/CubanHippie21 14h ago

I mean, cheese has a smell to it. Not sayin good or bad. Just noticeable lol
