Cheeseburger Sonnet Subtle gradations in flavoring as one moves from layer to layer. First, white bread sprinkled with sesame seeds, coated on the underside with (your choice) catsup, mayo, or mustard. I'd opt for mustard nowadays, all other things being equal. And then some relish or (my call) sweet pickle slices and a square of white cheddar. In the center, a patty of hamburger meat--on the lean side, if you please, and, let's say, medium rare--pinkish. The bottom layer is, as always, disappointing--just the other half of the bun that the top layer of the burger was the upper half of. *Sans* sesame seeds and tasty slatherings of mustard, ketchup, whatever. And yet, it's the base upon which all the rest is built. Without it, a burger's just another slab of meat with bread on top.
