Here are the results of this week's poll: What Cheese Do You Like Most on Your Burger? From 1,065 votes as of 10 a.m.:

American 32%
Cheddar 31%
Swiss 8%
Blue 9%
Goat 1%
Mozzarella 1%
Monterey Jack 3%
Pepper Jack 9%
Gouda 2%
Provolone 2%
Other 2%

American is number one, but it only beats out cheddar by 1%. American proponents were a bit more vocal about their choice in the comments than cheddar proponents though. Processed Neon noted its pleasant taste, versatility, superior melting capabilities, and nostalgia. Other cheese recommended by AHT readers are Gruyere, Colby, Havarti, and haloumi.

Thanks for participating in our poll! Stay tuned for the next one on Monday.

Cheese food > cheese (but only in the land of burger)

Are you sure that most people distinguish rightly between cheddar and American?

I'm a little appalled that the put a photo of Cheese food on this article. Worse yet I fear it may of influenced some to vote for "American"

Of course "American Cheese" in it's true form is a form of cheddar.

Perhaps they would o done better by putting a can of cheeze Wiz in the photo. It is as much real cheese as the cheese food they pictured.

Personally I like a good medium cheddar on my burgers but I will put a variety on occasion including Havarti or "American"
