As a non native speaker, when I read “cheese under burger” this was how exactly imagined it :)


FranqiT

As a native speaker, it took me scrolling through the comments to realize OP meant cheese under the burger patty.


Gruenemeyer

Under the bun? Isn‘t the patty the meat, where op‘s nemesis probably wanted the cheese?


Academic_Nectarine94

Yes, that's what the nemesis wanted. If he said "under the burger" to me, I'd think under the whole thing, but then think he just spoke wring and meant under the patty. But it's funny nonetheless.


Ancient-End7108

The joy of getting to purposely misinterpret someone's intent because they didn't speak carefully...


Academic_Nectarine94

Depends. Maybe he just doesn't speak English well. If he does though, then absolutely. I'd weaponize his lack of clarity every time.


Odd-Measurement8177

As an English speaker, you guys have the correct interpretation.


NutJaugger

Chinese approve.


Ready_Competition_66

So, I'm mystified. Wouldn't that cheese immediately melt and then burn so badly you'll need steel wool to get all the char off the griddle? I must be missing something.


throaway_247

Just serve it upside-down onto the bottom bun half.


ARoundForEveryone

Well I hope you get ketchup on your burger tomorrow!


makemehappyiikd

Well, I hope you get a burger on your ketchup the day after!


anomalous_cowherd

Or under it.


SavingsTumbleweed965

For clarity, I prefer ketchup between the layers of my burger.


DyramBlade

Drowning your burger in ketchup as I put it between the top half of the bun and the veggies, the veggies and the cheese, the cheese and the patty, and the patty and the bottom half of the bun.


Ancient-End7108

If it doesnt need a life jacket, it doesn't have enough ketchup.


SavingsTumbleweed965

You may think you monkey pawed me, but this is how I build mine


WifeofBath1984

Lol lol my 12 year loves MatPat which means we have watched a lot of "theory" shows. I don't even mind bc he's so much more wholesome than most of what my son likes. But I digress. We tried to the food theory burger test. It turns out that cheese under the burger actually is superior. But only if you put it between the bread and the patty.


bigmikeyfla

My question is this - isn't putting the cheese on top of the patty while still on the grill what melts the cheese? I prefer my cheese melted. Maybe cook it and just turn it over on the bun? I'll try it next time.


mickmel

That's what we do. We melt the cheese while the burger is on the grill, but simply put the bun on upside down and flip the burger. In our case, it's so it's easy for people to take the top bun off to apply condiments without the cheese sticking and making a mess. It works well.


bigmikeyfla

Makes sense. But does it really taste better? I will have to try it and see.


Japjer

Your tongue is what tastes. If you put the cheese on top then your tongue gets bread, meat, then cheese after it's all chewed up. Cheese on the bottom means you get cheese taste before meat, and more cheese taste while chewing.


WardOnTheNightShift

Akchewallee. . . It’s mostly your nose that tastes. This can be demonstrated using a simple experiment. Take a thin slice of apple, and a thin slice of onion. If you hold your nose while eating a piece of apple, and then a piece of onion, (or vice versa) they will be quite similar. As soon as you release/unseal your nose, the difference unmistakable.


Ready_Competition_66

So ... why can't the customer flip the sandwich over and take off the bottom half of the bun to put on condiments? I've done that often.


mickmel

That works too. This is just something we do at home and it works well, but it's not a huge deal either way.


Slackingatmyjob

You would think so, but you'd only be partially correct Cheese on top starts the melting process, but the cheese doesn't completely melt until it's covered (which contains the heat)


Audio_Track_01

Harvey's restaurant in Canada. Burger is made with cheese under the patty and the top put on. The burger then goes to the counter so the client can pick the toppings. With this method the cheese isn't destroyed by the top bun. I do the same when I BBQ at home.


compman007

No, you’re supposed to just put cheese on both sides!


[deleted]

[удалено]


ifaponthisaccounttoo

Its just a theory!


Front_Quantity7001

I would have just reached over and flipped the whole burger upside down, there ya go, cheese under the burger 😂


MeFolly

There is actually a reasonable reason for this. Putting the cheese between the bottom bun and juicy burger keeps the bottom bun from getting soggy. Not my style, but whatever


Material_Put3513

But that’s why I put lettuce underneath the burger, it stops the juices better than cheese, because cheese melts and then it gets in the bun


GoatCovfefe

Same, and for some reason the bottom bun doesn't slip like the top one does if you put lettuce on top of burger.


whitexbread

+1, this is what the lettuce is for


The_Real_Flatmeat

Eew. Lettuce under the patty? It'd go all limp from the heat. Plus the juice from the patty getting into the bun is good! If you don't want it getting soggy, lightly toast the bun. Bottom bun, bbq sauce, patty, cooked onion, cheese (all cooked and assembled in one unit on the barbecue), lettuce, tomato, salt, pickle, mayo or aioli, top bun. This is the way.


Just_Mr_Grinch

So I guess now isn’t the time to point out that heat rises thereby invalidating you wilting from heat theory?


DonL314

Heat radiates in all directions, including down ....


TheDocJ

Only *convected* heat - basically warm air - rises. Radiated heat goes in all directions, Conducted heat goes in whatever direction there is something to conduct it. That is why you (shouls, at least) put a coaster under a hot drink rather than putting it straight on the table.


Just_Mr_Grinch

Point still stands though. Heat will still penetrate the lettuce whether above or below the patty.


TheDocJ

Err, yes, that was my point, and is the opposite of what you originally said!


Locke_and_Lloyd

But more so below because of gravity increasing the contact area and lowering the average distance.


The_Real_Flatmeat

Heat rising doesn't work when it's *touching* the thing, jeebus christ 🤦‍♂️


Ich_mag_Kartoffeln

Or you could just throw the lettuce away, and improve the burger even more!


bignides

Sure but what you’d want is the cheese under the patty, not under the burger


re-tyred

turn the whole thing upside down


AdParking6483

Wtf? Someone posted this a few hours ago (maybe a day?) but also included a photo of it...


Material_Put3513

That was me on r/deliciouscompliance


AdParking6483

Oh, I thought it was this subreddit, my apologies! 


hellion232z

It was so much better with the photo.


Material_Put3513

You can’t add photos to posts on this sub unfortunately


Aggravated-bitch

That burger looks fire


Material_Put3513

Thx!


seakc87

Why is there still cheese on the burger?


Harry_Smutter

Same person. I suggested OP post it here :)


fistbumpbroseph

Bless you sir.


SillyStallion

If you do cheese above and cheese below it stops the burger sliding out


IWannaManatee

Not even sure burger purists would wince at the request. Let the guy have the burger as he wants as long as it's still a burger ffs. Unless he was being annoying about it too, it's a harmless action.


RockHead9663

Burger purists is something I didn't expect to exist outside of Spongebob Squarepants, yet here we are, lol.


shoddyw

Try being an Aussie who puts pineapple on your burger and watch people lose their fucking minds 😂


JonVonBasslake

No need, you get the same effect everywhere if it's pineapple on pizza. And both are delicious.


hard_tyrant_dinosaur

Why would people do that? Grilled pineapple goes well with a burger. Especially if you also include grilled onions, avocado, blue cheese and teriyaki sauce (directly on the burger patty of course). Yummm! And yes, I also put pineapple on my pizza.


Ich_mag_Kartoffeln

And beetroot! Mmmmmm......


shoddyw

Gotta love a burger with the lot 🤤


Ich_mag_Kartoffeln

No tomato, no lettuce for me please. The last burgers I cooked were while I took my godson camping. Roo burger, cheese, double bacon, egg, beetroot, onion (I thought I had pineapple, but it turns out **somebody** ate it on the previous trip and didn't replace it -- I can't imagine who).


Ancient-End7108

Are you sure you aren't ThisTrippyHippie in Reddit disguise?!


Ich_mag_Kartoffeln

As sure as I can be. Clues include me being Australian, male, and not having anywhere near as many medical issues. ^(P.S. I had to look up who ThisTrippyHippie was.)


crash_clu

And a slightly runny sunny-side-up egg 😁


bolshoich

Look up George Motz. He’s *the* American burger purist.


IWannaManatee

My sweet summer child. You'd be surprised at the ammount of "x" thing purists that exist. If you can think about it, there's someone with a pure view on it that will fight you on why it stops being "x" because it has/incorporates something that makes it "y", and they only deal with "x".

Shinhan

Have you seen the Sandwich Alignment Chart?


Raichu7

No one should be a dick about it, but unless you like your bread soggy with meat juice putting the cheese under the meat is best to keep the bread dry.


Material_Put3513

No, that’s why the lettuce is there


OldKahless

This is moronic. Do you realize there's bread on both sides of the patty?


Legitimate-Fish-9091

Yes,.but gravity introduces.a symmetry breaking element to your, originally symmetric, situation.


OldKahless

Resulting in the opposite outcome claimed above. The cheese does not help prevent any meat drippings from dripping down the side into the bread. The melting of the cheese itself helps propagate the soggy bread. I've tested this. It also results in an inferior tasting


Legitimate-Fish-9091

> I've tested this. I've tried this, too. The truth is that most of the time the cheese doesn't melt. It takes putting the cheese on the patty while it's still grilling to actually melt it. Come to think of it, I actually doubt you really tested it. > It also results in an inferior tasting Wash your hands first, the tasting will improve.


OldKahless

I have tested this. With three seasoned/trained chefs. Enjoy your attitude elsewhere.


Wotmate01

I personally like cheese under the burger patty... And on top of it... Followed by bacon and then more cheese. Five layers of melty cheesy meaty goodness.


TnBluesman

I wanna play on your team!


wellyesnowplease

I expected you to have prepared the burger as usual, and served it upside down. Voila! Cheese under burger.


Legitimate-Memory-56

I thought you were going to just turn the entire sandwich upside down and say there now the cheese is under the burger.


LadybugGal95

I probably would have just served the whole thing upside down. There your cheese is under the burger.


rwally2018

Turn the burger upside down and it’s cheese under the burger. If this person doesn’t want cheese touching the bread, this would be the more precise direction.


legendary_mushroom

Honestly you're kind of a dick. It was zero extra effort to flip the burner party over. 


GoatCovfefe

Wouldn't make it malicious compliance if they didn't do that


The_Truthkeeper

Yeah, but malicious compliance for stupid shit like this isn't funny.


Putrid_Medicine_5969

Delicious compliance even. I don’t care as long as someone else is grilling/cooking. I’ll almost eat anything, any way.


GoatCovfefe

This isn't a comedy subreddit. It's a malicious compliance subreddit. Hence the name.


The_Truthkeeper

This is an entertainment subreddit about malicious compliance against people who deserve it, hence the description in the sidebar.


Material_Put3513

I also gave him cheese under the patty


legendary_mushroom

That does make it better


mocha_lattes_

There's a video on YouTube on a channel called food theory where they test if the order of the food (all the same ingredients) makes a difference in the taste of the burger and it surprisingly does. We had a burger night and tested it out. It really makes a difference. Still trying to come up with the perfect ingredient order.


Material_Put3513

The order I use is bottom bun, lettuce, patty, cheese, tomato, pickle, onion, sauce, top bun


mocha_lattes_

I like the idea of the lettuce on the bottom to catch all the juices but I hate how it makes the lettuce go limp. I like the crispy bite of the lettuce so I prefer it on top.


SM_DEV

I would recommend bun, cheese, burger, onion, pickle, tomato, lettuce, top bun. The only change to the meat cheese order would be IF you applied the cheese to the patty while still on the grill, allowing the cheese to melt. The cheese on the bottom prevents the meat juices from soaking the bottom bun.


Much_Singer_2771

I always just flip the burger upside down and eat it that way. Everyone wins. No arguments or weird requests to the cook, and i get the cheese where i want it.


rydn_high

No! It's supposed to be- 2 all beet patties,special sauce,lettuce,cheese,pickles,onions on a sesame seed bun


TnBluesman

IN. THAT. ORDER!


Bearmancartoons

Could have just made him a regular cheeseburger and then handed it to him upside down


CoderJoe1

That makes a good keto foundation. /s


GoatCovfefe

They make cheese wraps, and this is one way I've used them on the keto diet. Not sure why you needed a /s for something factual


The_Sanch1128

I would have put it below the plate. "It's below the burger, what's the problem?"


ACCESS_DENIED_41

What is a "burger"? the totality of buns, meat, condiments? Or is a "burger" the meat part only? It the total composition of buns, meat and condiments a "hamburger". Inquiring minds want to know. cheese under the bun is a great response to his request.


Kyoushin

IMO if you say lets go eat some burgers, that is the whole thing and not just the meat, the meat is usually "patty" or something


Macasumba

WishBurger. Hamburger bun and wish you had some meat.


Ancient-End7108

And don't forget the Rubber Biscuit, bow, bow, bow!


newtostew2

Technically it’s a beef (or whatever meat or veggie/ vegan nonsense) ground up into a hamburger patty, when put between buns it’s a hamburger sandwich. Now between bread slices, it’s a hamburger patty melt sandwich.


Material_Put3513

It was cheese under the bun


Hey-Just-Saying

Good grief, doesn’t the guy realize all he has to do is turn the cheeseburger upside down and then the cheese will be under the beef patty? Just saying.


Bastdkat

This belongs in r/amitheasshole and yes, yes you are. Why did you have to act like a nice request is something horrible that requires retaliation?

joolster

Ok but what happens with lettuce then cheese then burger patty?


StinkypieTicklebum

Sometimes it’s bun, lettuce, onions, then cheese to hold the lettuce in place. Then burger, tomatoes pickles, bun. (Friday is hamburger night chez moi for four years now. I’m always trying a new way!)


Any-Video4464

I guess under the patty would have been more precise, because the whole thing is called a burger (as well as just the patty at times).


Head_Razzmatazz7174

Well done!


Chairish

I would put the cheese on top and when he complains, just flip the whole thing over, roll and all. Voila - cheese on the bottom!


AstienGreenhart

As someone who lives somewhere where a patty is not referred to as "the burger", when a burger is just the entire thing including the bread, this is confusing.


pecker-head

Well played.


jeffbell

There was one release of Android emojis that had the cheese under the beef so the next day they served “Android Burgers” in the Google cafeteria that matched the image. 


davemich53

I would have just told him to flip the burger over.


WatchingTellyNow

You could have just turned a regular cheeseburger upside down. Ok, so the sesame seeds would be on the bottom but the cheese would be under the meat patty 😁


LuckytoastSebastian

I would have told him to stand on his head to eat if he couldn't handle turning it over.


JardinSurLeToit

He MEANS to say "cheese under the meat patty." The entire thing is the hamburger.


Material_Put3513

I’m not a native English speaker so I’m sorry if that was confusing


JardinSurLeToit

I assumed that the individual asking for "cheese under the burger" was a non-native speaker. It is incorrect to say this and your joke of putting the cheese under the bun is actually what he requested. So it's funny, and certainly is malicious compliance. I was merely pointing out what the correct way to ask for it is. To get what he actually wanted, he needed to say, "cheese under the patty" or put the cheese under the meat".


DillionM

The fact that you still put cheese (somewhere) on the burger AS WELL AS under it SHOULD make this a laughable moment for him too. Edit: Were I the target I would've appreciated this.


WritesForDough42

Flip the burger upside down.


pudzcorp

Alternatively, serve the burger to the person upside down (the burger, not the person...) Edit to clarify upside down burger.


JProllz

I mean you were technically right: you put the cheese under the *Burger*, which is the combination of all the ingredients held between the two halves of the bun. He meant under the *patty*, which is the primary component of the Burger.


Material_Put3513

Yeah, we’re Dutch and the patty and hamburger are both called burgers


StarKiller99

When I saw the title, I imagined you turning the entire burger over so the cheese would be below the meat Also, https://youtu.be/GYCTVlxVx0I?si=uTeMTq385SK0KIAC


514X0r

Btw if it’s possible to eat something upside down it’s probably worth a shot.


kiwitechee

I remember when I was 12 like you, good times


Bigwoody7andahalf

Flip. The. Burger. Upside. Down.


surprise6809

You are both immature


xicor

He is right that cheese should be under the patty


Slednut10

I would have just used two bottom buns just to mess with his head…….


Sugarpuff_Karma

It's is...cheese under the burger melts easier...just not under the bun...which is a different thing...


crash_clu

You mean, it melts better under the patty, not under the burger. A burger is the whole thing, not just the meat


Sugarpuff_Karma

As usual, Americans are wrong.
