How do you like the cheese on your burger?

Completely melted, semi, applied just as burger is being built?

I guess semi-melted. And I like the cheese placed atop the grilled onions, not the other way around.

Completely melted, using a good quality Shredded Cheddar Cheese. I find shredded cheese melts real nice and stays melted..............Bill

Slightly melted and on top of the patty.

completely melted white cheese of some type.
I detest FF cheeseburgers mainly for the cold slice of American cheese that awaits my first bite. 

I'll take blue cheese on mine.

blue cheese on mine too, or Swiss, not completely melted, but at least warmed and soft.
 

Completely melted in most cases-with the exception of blue cheese.

I prefer it added as the burger is assembled, with the second choice being semi-melted.  

I usually don't order cheeseburgers.  They're too gooey for me.
 
Blue Cheese might be good, but I don't think I look under the bun once it's made.

Mar, you cannot have lived in the Marina as long as you have, and not developed a crave for a Tommy's chili cheeseburger!!
I see we got another Marina Del Rey citizen here, Dimmie 2, know one another?

Tommy's is too messy and (Dimmie) Sharon and I live at the same address.
 
I've been trying to introduce her to good eating.

I love cheese and I love burgers, but the combo does nothing for me.  My family thinks I'm nuts.  I think this originated with a supper my mom made me eat when I had an upset stomach.  Hate French dressing for the same reason.

Completely melted.  I absolutely HATE biting into a cold piece of cheese on a hot burger.

Completely melted here, too.

Completely melted here, too.

we always thought so, but thanks for verifying.

Completely melted.

Blue cheese for me and nothing else on the burger. Melted to soft but not gooey.

Completely melted as I prefer my burgers fairly rare and like how the cheese mixes with the juices, although semi-melted's OK, too.
 
But my primary concern is the cheese itself.  I'd rather have cool, unmelted, "real" cheese than fully melted processed cheese.

I failed to mention I too prefer completely melted, I try to get my cooks to comply, if they don't, we have a private conversation. Now that I think about it, we never had a customer ask for cheese done a certain way, other than Blue or feta.
DimmieMar's Barbeque, I like the sound of it!

Mmmmmm.... Tommy's... That's one of the few things that I miss since moving from L.A. 
Nothing like a double chili cheese and chili cheese fries after a night of drinking!

Chef, I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a big blob of goo!

Warm but not compleatly melted. That way you can taste tha cheese.

Count me as another weirdo, I guess.  I really like cheese but prefer not to have cheese on my burger.  Now, cheese fries (or chili-cheese fries), that's a different story.

Provalone - semi-melted. Delicious!

 
I generally go without the cheese, but when I'm in the mood for it and get cheese, I like it mostly melted to completely melted,..... but not dripping, saucy, or runny. 
 
For cheese type, I like American on burgers ..... white American.  I grew up in RI, where almost all cheese is white.  You rarely see that yellow or orangey stuff there.  I guess their cows don't produce yellow/orange milk like the rest of the country's cows!  ;)   You do see the orangey/yellow cheese at national chains like McD's.    When I was a kid, I thought the yellow/orange cheese was some sort of McD's proprietary thing to match the golden arches or something like that.   Later, when travelling the country, I realized that that "weird" yellow/orange cheese was everywhere!  
 
For cheese placement, I like it directly on the meat patty, and then other stuff like onions on top of that.  This way, if there are too many onions, etc., it's still relatively easy to remove some.  With cheese over onions or pickles, etc., you're "locked in".   Any re-arranging or removal of excess stuff requires major surgery.

The practice of coloring cheddar cheese with annato to make it orange is at least 150 years old, and comes from england, the home of cheddar.

 
<<..."The practice of coloring cheddar cheese with annato to make it orange is at least 150 years old, and comes from england, the home of cheddar."...>>
 
 
Yup.  But, for some reason, RI and some other parts of New England have shunned this practice.  Not just for cheddar, but american and other cheeses, too.   It's amazing to look in the deli case at an RI meat market / deli.  All the cheeses are white except for port wine cheese and that funky outer coating of muenster.
