On Days When Cheese Comes to Mind First, Six Ways to Choose a Burger

The Quarter Pounder with Cheese combines one quarter-pound beef patty with two slices of cheese. The roughly 113g in the official description is a figure for the patty, so keep it separate from the total weight of the finished burger. While the same brand's Double Cheeseburger stacks two patties, this one can be seen as built around a single thick piece of beef. Think about the number of patties and the number of cheese slices separately, and the differences show even when the menu names sound alike. It's a good choice on days when cheese and meat are what you want first, and if you also want a side and a drink, see the set in the photo.

The Double Cheeseburger is a menu that layers two 100% beef patties with cheese. Even among cheeseburgers, its patty lineup differs from the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, which leads with a single piece of beef. When comparing the two, rather than ranking size or amount of meat by the word 'double' in the name alone, start by looking at how many patties there are. It suits anyone who wants to choose the patty-and-cheese combination before complicated toppings. It links to the set with a drink and fries, and the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese is a separate menu item, so it's good to tell them apart when ordering.

The Cheese Whopper is the menu for anyone who wants cheese with their pick from the Whopper line. If you know the basic Whopper, it's easy to understand as keeping the same lineup while adding a richer ingredient. It's worth a look on days when you want a burger with vegetables and patty together rather than a product that piles on layers of cheese alone. Comparing the basic Whopper with the Cheese Whopper also shows how much a single topping matters to your choice. Even within the same brand, choose products labeled Double or Junior separately.

Frank Burger's Cheeseburger is a menu that combines a handmade patty with cheddar cheese. Compared with the same brand's basic Frank Burger, it's an easy way in to choosing the lineup with cheese added. It suits anyone who wants to know the direction of the basic cheeseburger rather than starting with the long-named bacon or double menus. Look at a burger made with cheddar alongside Lotteria's mozzarella-led menu and the type of cheese itself can become your deciding factor. Today, choose while thinking first about the role of the cheese rather than the amount of meat.

The Mozzarella in the Burger Bacon is a burger that leads with natural mozzarella cheese and bacon. For anyone looking for a cheese other than the cheddar family of cheeseburgers, the menu name is a clear clue. Look at it on days when you want to eat cheese as a main ingredient rather than thinking of it as just a slice topping. Lotteria also has differently named menus like the Hawaiian or the Napoli Mozzarella, so it's good to check for the Bacon label too. Even within this cheeseburger collection, you can compare which ingredients it's paired with.

The Signature is a No Brand Burger menu where you choose a flame-grilled meat patty with a smoky char together with cheese. The official introduction leads with the flame-grilled patty and rich cheese, and that's the reason it made this list. No Brand Burger also has a separate burger called the Cheese Burger, so look without confusing it with the Signature. Unlike Frank Burger, which takes cheddar as its type-of-cheese standard, this one lets you start from the combination of how the patty is cooked and the cheese. Even within the cheeseburger category, it's worth comparing which information you want to see first.
