Where Do You Slap Your Cheese

Where do you slap your cheese? Do you throw it under your burger, or on top?

According to the folks at RTA Outdoor Living, 15% of the people they surveyed across the country claim to put their cheese under their meat. Really? The survey comes out in advance of National Cheeseburger Day, September 18th.

Not sure what you think, but it's kind of hard to imagine cheese on the bottom. I mean when grilling, it has to go on the top to melt. So then do people actually flip it over when they transfer to the bun? Am I the only one having trouble with this process? Perhaps there a scientific reason here. Like maybe the melty cheese sticks to both the bun and the meat to more efficiently keep the sandwich together.

RTA has an ongoing poll called the Great Food Debate, probing important topics like proper placement of cheese.  Also, in regards to burgers, wat is the best level of "doneness."

Survey says: 43.1% of men like their meat medium compared to 36.8% of women. More women than men preferred their burgers well done.

So, where do you slap your cheese on your burger? Top or bottom?

Freebies & Deals For National Cheeseburger Day In Southwest Florida

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.  There is a day to celebrate everything.  This weekend, we celebrate the cheeseburger.

We just celebrated the double cheeseburger on September 13th.  According to NationalCalendarDay.com, we will next celebrate the close relative, Cheeseburger, on National Cheeseburger Day, which is September 18th.

With the holiday falling on a Sunday, during football season of course, what a perfect time to celebrate!  Nothing goes better with football than some burgers and beers.  Well, maybe pizza and wings, but they have their own days, so they can take a break this weekend.  For future reference, National Wing Day just passed on July 29th.  But, lucky for us, National Pizza Day is on the horizon, on November 12th.

If you don't feel like firing up the grill to make your own burgers at home, then hit up some of the places offering deals this weekend.  There are plenty to choose from.  As always, make sure you check with the locations in your area to be sure they're participating.
