Cutting Your Burger In Half

I'll do it sometimes. I don't care.

Some people act like cutting your burger in half is for you-know-whos.

They think a man should just dive right in, and bite that burger.

But guys cut sandwiches and cheesesteaks in half. So what's the big deal?

I get it from the point of view of not wanting to let all the juices seep out, but that's not gonna stop me from cutting a burger if I really want to.

Especially a really big burger. They can be hard to eat. And everyone knows the middle bites are the best - that's where all the ketchup and pickles are, and such.

When it comes to regular sandwiches, I will cut those things in half in a heartbeat. That way, the crust is at the back of the bite, not the front.

Now, there is a lot of talk these days about "knife and fork" sandwiches. That, I feel, is taking things a little too far. The whole point of a sandwich is you can eat it with your hands. Cutting a hamburger in half doesn't change that.

But when the whole sandwich requires a knife and fork at the ready, that is a different story.

However, reubens and tuna melts are still pretty awesome. Especially with a pickle and chips.
