The Five Guys burger is definitely larger than those. You must have had the "little burger" with just one patty.

So what exactly is the difference between American cheese and cheddar cheese?

Cheddar cheese goes through a process called "Cheddaring" which American cheese does not.  Wikipedia explains it far better than I could:

Quote"Cheddaring" refers to an additional step in the production of Cheddar cheese where, after heating, the curd is kneaded with salt, cut into cubes to drain the whey, and then stacked and turned. Strong, extra-mature Cheddar, sometimes called vintage, needs to be matured for up to 15 months. The cheese is kept at a constant temperature, often requiring special facilities. As with other hard cheese varieties produced worldwide, caves provide an ideal environment for maturing cheese; still, today, some Cheddar cheese is matured in the caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge. Additionally, some versions of Cheddar cheese are smoked.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I've tried practically everything, and nothing works better on a cheeseburger than American cheese.

I like swiss on a burger.

Catfish is generally one of my least favorite fishes.  It's got kind of a gamey, sewagey, bottom-feeder flavor to it, and it's pretty tough for a fish, like they get locked up in rigor mortis when they're hooked.  People around here eat shitloads of it.

One of my uncles invited my dad and me over for a catfish fry, and I was expecting the usual.  But this was really good.  No sewage taste, and super tender.  I asked him how he does it and he says you soak it in buttermilk.  That's catfish I would be happy to eat any time.

Hosting a lunch. Missus has marinated a big lump of beef in some complex chilli sauce. I'm on egg fried rice duty. There's some kale and mushroom concoction going on too.

Struggled to think of an appropriate wine match to stand up to the chilli but would also work with the beef. Ended up choosing a 2010 paullic,50/50 Merlot and cab. Not sure it will work tho.

Drinking wine sounds like too much work.

Just had cuttlefish in black ink. Now I literally have black lips and a black tongue.

Five Guys isn't that expensive, really. Maybe a buck or two more than the priciest selections at BK or McDonald's. Now Red Robin, they'll charge 15 bucks.

Just saw this.  You're full of shit.

Of minor note this day, I tried a naked egg taco at the Bell.

Jeers: not as big as the commercials make it look;  it's the kind of uninspiring prefab circle 'o egg that you'd see on a McMuffin
Cheers: not as bad as you would expect from something named a "naked egg taco" from Taco Bell; decent amount of hash brown wedges, cheese and bacon/sausage inside

While wrapped with a holder to maintain physical integrity, it loses points for portability and the critical eating-while-driving capability so important with fast food breakfast

You are positing that:
1) Five Guys isn't that expensive.
2) Maybe a buck or two more than the priciest selection at BK or McDonald's.
3) Of which you're not talking about Whoppers and Quarter Pounders.

All this makes you:
1) full of shit.
2) Talking out of your ass.

Yeah, Five Guys is fairly pricey (unless one is used to NYC prices) - particularly so in London.

Actually, I've realised relative to £ and London prices, things don't seem to incredibly expensive here in Denmark.
