i mean that process cheese really sucks on its own but on burgers it's the best i think
agree 100% on this. that cheese is made for burgers.
you were right about the bun thing too. too fancy of a bun and the bun starts taking over. it basically just needs to hold everything together and keep your hands relatively clean.
my favorite is just a classic american cheeseburger. from the bottom i go cheap bun, toasted > mayo > lettuce > tomato, onion (both sliced thin), pickles, burger (cooked medium) > processed cheese > bacon > ketchup and mustard > top bun.
once in a while ill get fancy and put avocado or a fried egg or sautéed onions, but i think the perfect burger is just simple and basic.
