The world’s obsession with cheese

If I liked BBQ burgers, I’d want cheese on it.
I’d expect the menu to show something like:
“Our Ranch Burger: a generous half-pound of ground chuck, topped with spicy pepperjack cheese, our house-made sweet barbecue sauce, and crispy-fried onions, on a bakery-fresh Kaiser roll.”
-or-
“Our Ranch Burger: a generous half-pound of ground chuck, topped with our house-made sweet barbecue sauce, raw or crispy-fried onions, all on a bakery-fresh Kaiser roll. Add American, cheddar, or pepperjack cheese for an additional $1.15”
They should tell you, but I’d expect cheese on it.
With ribs, mentioned earlier…I wouldn’t want to be served a rack of ribs with cheese layered on it. No, not at all.
However, put this on the menu:
“House special pulled rib plate: we start with a half-rack of smoked baby back ribs, then do the work of pulling the meat from the bones for you, and top with the sauce of your choice, onion rings, pickle slices, and your choice of cheese.”
I’d say, “Bring it on!”

cheese and barbcue should NEVER be used in the same sentence
i used to own a bbq joint and if anyone ever put cheese on my bbq i would snatch up the food give them their money back and bar them from ever coming back

My SIL would only eat steaks cooked well done.
But, I didn't get worked up about it. I learned how to make the best well done steak possible. She loved it, and I took that as a compliment. She was kind enough not to put ketchup on her steaks that I cooked.

grumpyoldman You're the real deal, it sounds so funny
There are few sauces I would eat on steak, and they are not from bottles. I love steak au poivre (below). Filet mignon does not have a bold beef flavor, so a sauce is needed, IMO. But not A1 Sauce/HP Sauce, and never ketchup.

It makes everything so easy to understand for foreigners like me, when you just speak up what you think. The other way with giving some hints and drop some phrases on how you're doing can make it incredible hard to understand what is said and I think it vets harder with people you don't know

A "glass half full" way of looking at it is you've been through all that, and you are still alive.
