I saw this a few weeks ago on The Colbert Report and have not been able to get it out of my mind ever since. Now, I admittedly have an issue with melted yellow cheeses, and by issue I mean that I feel that they are pure evil sent to destroy us all. I also have a strong anti-Rachel Ray bias; she is bubbly, I don’t like bubbly. But this has to be one of the grossest examples of a salad that I’ve ever seen. Look at the way the grease glistens on the cheese as the beef juices congeal on the alarmingly small number of lettuce leaves. Ew.
I don’t think this one is going to make it into the dinner rotation at our house. I would like to hear what the cheeseburger lovers out there think of this. It may be a fine salad, I just can’t get beyond the melted yellow cheese.

I really don’t approve of you making me think of congealed meat grease on lettuce.
Remember back in the Atkins craze folks would wrap a burger in lettuce? Ugh. And then wash it down with those stinky pork rinds.
Meat, good. Lettuce, good. greeasy melted yellow cheese, goooood.
I have to admit it – that doesn’t look too bad to me.
Now, I was searching for a picture of “cheeseburger dogs” because I think those look particularly gross and I only came up with this. http://epicurious.blogs.com/features__editor/images/2008/05/23/cheeseburgerdog.jpg
Thank you google.
