They claim it's Roquefort cheese, but Roquefort is a French blue crumbly cheese, not what appears in the video, and would add at least $5+ to the cost of the burger in the quantity shown. And even Rochefort cheese is still too creamy but a more likely possibility. To be honest it looks like Monterey Jack...

He didn't say "mejor que Madonna". He said "mejor que McDonald's". Then right after he said "F*ck McDonald's" Because of the accent, the 'd' and the 's' get swallowed rather than enunciated.

I also agree. That looks WAY better than McDonald's.

Bacon with no term limits.

I need one of those shirts.

I hate to go all crankypants here, but it seems like Serious Eats is becoming all bacon, all the time. Yeah, we get it, everything is funny if it's made of bacon. I can't say I hate bacon, but I don't eat it, and it's getting a little old. Could we at least relegate any more than, say, a couple posts a week to a separate bacon sub-blog?

I like Splenda for dissolving in cold liquids, like my iced coffee in the summer (because yes, I'm too lazy to make and keep simple syrup on hand), and for making a few desserts my 5-year-old can eat and then NOT bounce off the walls and ceiling afterwards. But the price alone is enough to keep me from using large enough amounts of it to do any damage!

I've never had a problem using it, but I also don't use it regularly. I will use one small packet to sweeten 4 cups worth of Thai tea (about as much as my french press holds), but I don't even drink that very often. Moderation in all things!

Ive raced cars,and motorcycles, I've crashed, and burned(been on fire on a motorcycle), I've had 2 bullets barley miss me, I even spent a year in and out of hospitals, and a nursing home due to injuries.....Splenda does not scare me, and I use it regularly.

Considering the stuff not only makes me severely nauseous, but triggers severe migraines, it makes me nervous as hell. I've found it in everything from dairy products to cereal to bread, even when the stuff in question isn't labeled as being sugar-free or low carb!

Sugar might kill me in the long run, but at least it hasn't sent me to the hospital.

@ slow and sweet:

I'm a type II diabetic on oral meds and not insulin. My body really reacts to sugar (i.e. HUGE blood sugar spikes with even a little bit ingested), so I avoid it as much as possible. And sadly, I love my juices and sodas. I can do without coffee and tea most times. I'm not much of a sweets fan (candy, baked goods, etc), but I like my beverages.

Chocolate tea eh? (yes, I'm Canadian :D ). I might have to look that up. Thanks for the great suggestions.

@CanadianFoodieGirl: Give Sucralose just a little more time - between it and Aspartame, it's pretty improbably that you'll be able to find something not sweetened with either of them. For almost anything that requires some form of sweetener, manufacturers are constantly coming up with new versions of old recipes and replacing sugar with these artificial sweeteners. They now make Splenda Peeps, for crying out loud!

@hungrychristel: I haven't ventured into sweetening things through baking with stevia yet, but that's next. I do a fair bit of baking through fall and winter, so I'll see what it's like.

@slowandsweet: I have had a rough time finding teas that I like - I'm, for the most part, drinking just black tea as a cold tea, and green tea for hot tea. Anything I've found that's flavored without artificial sweeteners tastes very bland without the addition of some sort of sweetener. Thanks for the chocolate tea suggestion (sounds creepy, but I might try it.)

@OliverRanch - I found out a few years ago that many commercial toothpastes contain sugar. Sugar! In toothpaste! My dentist found a couple of cavities, but I was an avid brusher and had never had cavities before. He asked me what kind of toothpaste I had been using, and I told him that I was using the new flavored kinds that had come out (vanilla, orange, etc). He scolded me and told me to look for the ADA (American Dental Association) seal on the box before I buy any toothpaste, to confirm that the stuff will actually prevent tartar buildup, bad breath, and cavities.

Following up with my response; I appologize for not considering those with diabetic issues. I STILL think you might be on the safer side choosing something more natural.
I'm sure other agree with me on this: eat my butter full, real sugars, and avoid modified ingredients and preservatives all the time (not just for health reasons, flavour too). And for those who will argue that I am asking for a heart attack at 23 years old: I am healthy and fit as a horse! Since I've been eating this way, I've never felt or looked so good!
