This is one of the reasons that I used to hate serving this thing. These burgers have 2 slices of cheese. I take the bottom slice off, leaving one on top of the patty.( Yes, I use plastic gloves!) This way, the bottom bun is not glued to the plate, and they turn out much better, IMO! I have sent a suggestion in to reduce one slice of cheese, but I'm so far, no change.

I've tried the cheeseburger a couple times and it just looks totally unappetizing. The taste is ok, but like others said the bun gets soaked. I would like it with more ketchup.

Last night I had the Jambalaya and it wasn't bad, if a little bland.

I watched a very elegant looking lady try to eat the cheeseburger and it dripped grease on her Chanel blouse.

How often do they change the menu? I think it's been the same for a while now.

Though I don't understand the point of serving this at 6am local time.

I will never get used to American airlines serving pizza and hamburgers in premium classes. Seems incredibly cheap and tacky to me - but maybe it's just a cultural thing which I don't get. Can you imagine being served a hamburger like that on SQ (!)

I find it more bizarre that it's breakfast on a red eye to europe. The other courses look normal and proper.

I think NH has a hamburger on their snack menu. I was a bit surprised.

The burger is a little difficult to get right. By the time you've cooked it enough to be hot all the way through, the cheese is over melted. The domestic ones are pre-plated and have to be stacked sideways like that in order to fit in the ovens and you have to sheild the cheese from the foil covering the plate otherwise the entire slice would stick to it. Not sure why the BF ones are presented so different. They might be stacked upright since, by the time they need to be heated there's a lot less going on in those ovens -- plenty of room for the double height.

Hard on top, soggy on bottom, and pool of cheese. What's not to like?

BTW, when offered as a choice, they amost always sell out quickly. Go figure.

I liked the BF burger a lot, the mustard was ^

Just not fond of the domestic puddle of cheese :)
I would not like it was a main meal on BF, but as a snack it is fine.

Even though I often need to reconstruct it at delivery, it's my second favorite burger after In-N-Out.

I wish I got the bean and ham soup - all of my flights in the past couple months were either tomato basil or corn chowder. My two least favorite options.

If SQ served a burger, it would be the best damn burger in the air.:cool: And I would have it, if the opportunity presented itself.

It wasn't. Reading the review it was the arrival snack on CDG-EWR.

Really? Last couple of flights I've been on, when paired with the chicken salad, I was the only one ordering the burger in the first three rows.

I had the cheeseburger for the first time on Wednesday. It was an epic experience. It did look just like the original picture.

In my experience, the burger very often is served like that. I just had it again last weekend and it looked excatly as it does in the photo.
