Today I found out Five Guys uses KRAFT Cheese.
- Thread starter JrBaconCheeseburger
- Start date
Slightly OT: A few weeks ago, I found out that The Halal Guys used gyro bread from a local bakery that I shop at. I was disappointed about that since I thought they baked it at the restaurant's location.
Kraft cheese is a wierd thing brought to us by the power of science. It is fine when grilled and you should be fine if you like the burger.
Nothing quite melts the way that kraft cheese does. Doesnt surprise me. You can tell by the way it melts on the wrapper.
This is like when children gleefully eat an entire plate of pasta, later find out there were onions in the spaghetti sauce, and then act indignant and disgusted.
Nothing wrong with kraft cheese on a burger. I would even call it the classic burger cheese man.
$13+ dollars for a cheese burger and medium fries!? Yall suckas is crazy. I can get 3lbs of hamburger (9 burgers),buns,a large bag of frozen fries or 3lbs fresh potatoes to make fries for roughly the same price.
But are the medium fries ever really medium fries at Five Guys?
That's a good thing. Fake/processed American cheese on a burger is PERFECT.
Real cheese on a burger is so bad.

There is nothing wrong with Kraft cheese. They have a lot of great products.
However, their sliced American cheese aint cheese and it is nasty. The fact that American cheese is the only cheese option at Five Guys is a sin, and the reason I don't put cheese on my burgers from them.

I got the impression the cheese used was of the 'processed slice' variety (as I mention, I can't actually eat in there so I'm just going on what has been said) - I don't really like that sort of processed cheese on a burger, preferring cheddar or stilton, or maybe even monterey jack.
Processed cheese is produced from the whey remains of producing normal cheese. It's literally a result of waste product penny pinching.
Kind of harsh to call whey a "waste product", don't you think? It seems to have a lot of commercial uses. Certain cheeses like ricotta, protein powders, etc come from whey. Whey's cool in my book.
Cheese is processed from milk. You don't see cows shitting out blocks of cheese. I can confirm this because I have been to the Tillamook Cheese Factory :D
edit: I know milk doesn't come from a cows ass. I think.
Nothing stopping people using other cheeses though, outside of cost. Feta is a good one, or brie.
If I'm trying to make a standard burger, no way in hell.
I'm fine with other types. Like I mentioned before, you start getting into pub burger territory.
Back in the day there was a wave of pub burgers and gourmet burgers that were always too tall to comfortably bite without ripping the corners of your mouth. Like this guy down here. I know it'll taste fine, but its not my ideal burger.
The amount of straight up ignorance in this thread about American cheese is downright frightening.
First of all, know your fucking products people. You are confusing two completey different products for the same thing (Kraft Singles).
The cheese that 5 Guys uses is American cheese. It's real and made of a mixture of two cheeses, which is why it's labeled as processed. It's the same cheese In N Out uses and every other place that serves American cheese. Kraft just happens to make both kinds, which is what confuses people.
The same cheese from Boar's Head: https://boarshead.com/products/detail/652-american-cheese-loaf-yellow
Now what most of you are confusing legit American Cheese for is Kraft singles, which are individually wrapped and is a completely different product:
If you look closely at the images, the singles is labeled a cheese product because it includes emulsifiers, saturated vegetable oils and unnatural food colorings. It is less then 51% cheese, which it why it's labeled as a product.

It's pretty common.
Au Cheval in Chicago, whose cheeseburger has been named one of the best in the country, uses a Sysco patty and Kraft cheese, and people wait hours in line to eat it.
That looks amazing. Double patty, melted cheese..good lord. I like the chives.
It elevates cheap instant Ramen too

That Quality Garbage post above is on point.
For some of you that are confused, I think Anthony Bourdain sums up my burger philosophy pretty well.

Probably not Kraft. They are likely using the cheapest product that passes for american cheese they can find.
Kraft is THE cheese for burgers and grilled cheeses. That being said, cheese on a burger is absolutely disgusting.
Fair enough, I'll postpone my outright condemnation of Kraft's product until I've definitely tried it then :)
