AHT Poll: What Cheese Do You Like Most on Your Burger?

This has actually been an ongoing point of contention in my group of friends. I (the tasteful minority) have always posited American as the best Burger cheese for:

a) First and foremost, its (pleasant yet non-overpowering) taste
b) Its versatility across a wide range of burgers styles (griddled, grilled, broiled)
c) Its texture and superior melting qualities
d) Its nostalgia, this is what Americans have been putting on burgers for the better part of a century (and beyond)

The real question is how would American fair in a one on one duel with Cheddar. Would the lesser vote-getters throw in their lot with the Cheddar camp and overpower its patriotic cousin?

I like Haloumi, a distant, saltier cousin of feta, because it doesn't melt. You can chuck it on the grill and roast it, then put it on your burger. It's hot, has an interesting texture, but is not so strong as to overwhelm the beef. Grilled Haloumi, roasted slice of red pepper, a nice aioli, a sturdy bun. Not a burger for every day, but a nice change.

AHT Poll: What Cheese Do You Like Most on Your Burger?

I'm a cheddar and provolone kind of girl but since I love cheese, I am prone to tryin any kind on a burger!

I've had triple cheese burgers with different cheeses that have worked quite well; it depends on the combo of cheese.

I think I would like any cheese on a burger except for Swiss--I leave that for ham!

There's something about the funk of Swiss that goes so well with beef. It's the only time I really prefer Swiss. I'm much more of a Cheddar man, really. (That would be my number-two choice, no doubt.)

AHT Poll: How Do You Like Your Burgers Cooked?

I like it rare. I'm very surprised that it's turning out to be the least popular option.

I know it's fashionable to like rare or medium rare, but I just don't like the texture. Medium well or well for me, please. Done right, they can still be juicy, and the texture is way better than the mushy middle you get with undercooked beef.

This is why I wish Nick Solares would order his burgers Medium Rare. It is clear that very few AHT readers order their burgers Rare. Some of those pictures in his reviews are disturbingly raw. I love his reviews, but often wonder how it would change (if any) if the burger was cooked a little longer. Would it still be juicy? Would the grind of the meat stand out more? How much additional char would there be?

I also think it would be more useful to see how accurately a place can cook a medium rare or medium burger. With all the bad press on ground beef, I can't blame a place for slightly overcooking a burger that is requested rare.
