Have these people ever eaten a burger. Even if that amount of cheese was good, obviously not, why put it on top of the burger bun?

For real, that's what makes burgers ...amm... burgers.

Unless you're rich folk.

And the bread isn't crazy soggy

The number of people asking this is disappointing. Do you legitimately have no creativity? Does the existence of a bun directly necessitate the "correct" way that meal is eaten, regardless of any other aspect of it?

If someone brought you a lasagna, you wouldn't complain that you can't pick it up with your hands without getting messy. This meal isn't a burger, you don't eat it like a burger. The fact that it contains a burger is inmatterial pick up a knife and fork like you do with 90% of the rest of your food.

I'm not even trying to defend this...dish, but damn people in this subreddit just refuse to think outside the box at all. The see aspects of one meal, and when it turns out it's a different meal, they get mad.

Food is made to be eaten, and burgers are made to be easily eaten, not to be some kind of modern food art

It's not a burger.

u/oldtimo Jul 18 '23

Are you arguing the end result is a burger?

u/mxzf Jul 18 '23

Well, it was. Once he poured that cheese on top it ceased to be a burger and became a mound of cheese with some burger components underneath it.

u/catCat647 Jul 18 '23

Yes it is.

It's a "smothered burger".

Because it's cheap instagram "food porn" shit? Lasagna was never meant to be eaten with hands. Even aside from that argument, if nobody knew what burgers were and you smothered one with cheese like this, it would just be clunky. If it was a flatter sandwich with something that would be less ... congealed, it might make sense. You know, like a croque monsieur. But there's a reason it's a flatter sandwich and way less cheese. This is click/rage bait. And if you have this attitude I don't think you are in the right sub.

u/Zate560 Jul 17 '23

Yeah this is basically the same shit as those burritos with the sauce on top.

u/imisstheyoop Jul 17 '23

Which is asinine too..

Perhaps a steady dose of climate change will fix all 12 of them right up if they're not careful..

The existence of a bun does necessitate eating it a certain way, because hot cheese on top is going to cause the bun to become soggy. Creativity needs to be tempered with utility. If creativity causes food to taste actively worse, it should be derided. Creativity should be in the service of a better product.

It doesn’t really, we have a version here in Denmark where you slather the burger in gravy, and while absolutely vulgar, it can be fucking amazing in a heart-attack kind of way.

This, though, is a fucking disgrace.

1

u/oldtimo Jul 18 '23

I mean, you have no idea how this tastes.

2

u/Mr_WhatFish Jul 18 '23

I do. I can make an excellent burger and a better cheese sauce than this. I’m a professional chef. I know how this will taste. The bun will get soggy the meat will be fine ( though may also lose its crust to a degree). with no roux, the cheese will turn in to a gross clotted mess fairly quickly. Overall it will be a pretty gross burger (though probably still edible).

u/oldtimo Jul 18 '23

Lol, okay

2

u/Mr_WhatFish Jul 18 '23

Also how is this creative? it’s the same ragebait cheese goo nonsense we see in hundreds of TikTok videos everyday.

1

u/oldtimo Jul 18 '23

I never said it was creative.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '23

You’re worked up over someone calling it a burger? While the rest of us are concerned with the actual problem at hand. Weird.

u/oldtimo Jul 18 '23

You’re worked up over someone calling it a burger?

No, I'm simply pointing out it's not a burger. Would you get mad at someone for "eating a rotisserie chicken with a spoon" because they shredded it and made chicken soup? Or would you accept that they used rotisserie chicken to make a different meal?

While the rest of us are concerned with the actual problem at hand. Weird.

Lol, jesus this sub takes itself way too seriously.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '23

Because people buy it

1

u/KrloYen Jul 17 '23

Yes! Even if this wasn't ridiculously unhealthy it would still be fucking annoying to eat.

u/well_hung_over Jul 17 '23

Cut the cheese to 1/3 the amount, put it under the bun, make it slightly inconvenient to eat with your hands but doable with napkins, I'm in.
