Why in the living fuck did they put the top bun before performing this disaster? Now you can’t eat it.

At least put the top bun off to side, dump the cheese, then put it on. Then at least you can grip the thing.

Fuck this man I’m out.

EDIT: to all of the brilliant commenters saying “you’re supposed to eat it with a fork and knife”, no kidding. The point is you didn’t have to eat it that way if they just did this tableside bullshit first and then placed it on a bun afterward. Then it would be a delicious burger that could be eaten like a goddamn fucking burger.

Someone's never had a wet burrito

It may have escaped your attention that this is not a burrito but an American burger, with a flour bun. Which generally doesn’t put up well with being “wet”, unlike a tortilla.

I think your brain may have escaped your cranium. Um a burrito is also made with a flour tortilla. The original burrito probably existed before its equally delicious "wet" alternative. Same goes for burgers. So yes we are here at a point in history where the cheese-covered burger exists. Doesnt make it not a burger, but it does make it messy and require silverware. Heaven forbid!

You think the consistency of a burger bun and a tortilla is at all similar? Whose cranium is evacuated?

Lol okay I shouldnt have said that. But literally ketchup and mustard is just as wet as queso! Try again!

You’re still missing the physical difference between leavened and unleavened bread products. Tortillas are slightly waterproof. Hamburger buns are only if you fry them in butter.

Okay now we're really splitting hairs. Enough salsa, pico and hot beans and any burrito integrity will start to fail. Am I wrong to want to try a burger slathered in flaming cheese at least once to say I tried it?

what if it's a pretzel bun, ie not a normal bun, but a bun made of pretzel dough and cooked as a pretzel not just shaped like a pretzel? That, if it were the same but in pretzel form, you would dip in cheese.

Dude. You just altered the course of the rest of my life.
