Where to buy American cheese (for burgers)
Hi all, does anyone know where to buy the cheese that all of the trendy hipster burger joints use? Assuming it’s ‘American cheese’ - whatever that actually means!I’m not talking about the individually wrapped cheese singles you can buy in supermarkets; they are never the same as the cheese you may find in a Bleeker St or Patty and Bun burger. They seem a lot more artificial.
Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers.

Some Tesco and Waitrose are selling Monterey Jack cheese, which is different from the "cheese" slices and what the hipster burger places are using [ Undescended_testicle 1 year ago ]
Why not use actual cheese? [ 640TAG 1 year ago ]
ITT: People who don't know that American cheese "pasteurised processed cheese-flavoured food product" aka Kraft/Dairylea Singles. The American food regulator defines several different "American cheese" products but the proper one is a blend of mild cheeses (usually Cheddar, Colby, and possibly Jack), cream, and spices. Since I haven't found proper American deli cheese here, I normally use mild Cheddar and/or Jack on burgers. Sometimes if I want a real greaseball burger I'll use Dairylea singles, but that's not really cheese. [ thefuzzylogic 1 year ago ]
The hipster places aren't using American plastic cheese. Unless you think chains are hipster places. [ ab00 1 year ago ]
Monterey Jack is one several places use, try that [ dynasty987 1 year ago ]
Look up Velveeta Cheese. You could probably order it on amazon, and it could probably survive a nuclear war. It is mighty delicious and will only exceed your expectation for the perfect American style cheese for burgers [ celebritycoke 1 year ago ]
Fair enough. I think the general answer is to use the supermarket sold burger singles then! [ TehTriangle 1 year ago ]
Lol Tesco everyday value American cheese tastes less artificial than the kraft singles to me (American) [ arden30 1 year ago ]
A lot of places will do their own custom blend, mainly with cheddar in it. Buy a handful of similar cheeses and melt them together. [ fost90 1 year ago ]
You can get it pretty much everywhere http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/cheese/kraft_singles_10_per_pack_200g.html [ UnmarkedDoor 1 year ago ]

"American cheese - whatever that actually means!" What you're saying is, you don't really know what you're looking for. [ shembop 1 year ago ]
