So the cheese has to go on top of the meat to melt. Therefore the Google burger is ridiculous. Meanwhile the Apple burger has put the lettuce under the meat, and the tomato on top of the cheese. I don't think I like that. Why break up the vegetables? The Microsoft burger seems to make the most sense to me, and it's how I've pretty much always built a cheeseburger. However if pickles are involved I like them on the bottom just below the meat.
I dunno - lettuce on the bottom can prevent or slow down the bottom part of the bun from getting soggy, but then the juices can drip off the lettuce - unless it is shredded...

Lettuce on the bottom because that keeps juices from soaking into, and destroying, the bun. Cheese on top of burger so it melts and wraps itself onto the burger. Tomato on top of that.

Is it me or does Apple have a larger 8oz grilled patty while Mr. Softie has a, 5 oz SV burger without a Sear. So does the cheese and lettuce really matter if the the Sandwich holds, and is a cohesive unit of taste, texture and flavor?
Respctully i submit that most people dont don't know how to eat a burger.
Once you pick up a burger you should never , ever put it down again unless the safety of your burger and the loved ones around you depend on it.
if your so amature that you can not hold a loaded burger through the end may I suggest you start with lettuce, toms, bacon and avocado and learn your letters from there.
burger and sandwich construction is an art form and should be respected. Just like the pit, "no rules rules in the bedroom and whatever makes your boat float."
Ooooo. So HH not going to like "my way". Cut that sucker in half, ok, hold on until that half is finished. A man still needs time to shovel some fries or chips into his gullet between halves.
