Cheeseburgers in Paradise

The first true summer day.  Cheeseburger picnic in Central Park.  It's good to be alive.


Burger Shack's cheeseburger is made with American cheese.  I wasn't quite sure what makes cheese "American," so I looked it up.  Turns out, "American" isn't a synonym for cheddar.  


American cheese is, simply put, processed cheese.  Orange (at the Burger Shack), yellow, or white, American cheese is a mild cheese known for easy melting.  Traditionally made from a blend of cheeses, most often Colby and Cheddar, American cheese is now a blend of milkwheymilkfatmilk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate and salt.  Sounds gross and yet .....
