I grew up on American Cheese on burgers, grilled cheeses etc so it’s 2nd nature to me. I would probably think it’s foul if I had been raised otherwise, but IdGAf. Cheap fast food grade American cheese can be pretty gross though.
As for salt content, you could omit the vast majority of it IF it is used strategically, most importantly on raw meat before it gets thrown on the grill.
Salt is the most overly demonized element of the food/diet world. Unless you are predisposed to hypertension or a related condition, it’s really no concern for most.
Like anything, it can certainly be overused. That said, the role of salt in flavor chemistry and gastronomy is indisputable. Nothing replaces salt.
If your little stint started with an 8pm LAX arrival, went straight into serious drinking, you suddenly realized it was 1:55AM and Jack in the box was the only place you could crawl to before closing, then you flew out at 5am, ok, sure, that makes sense.

I started collecting salts after reading this book:
if you guys go anywhere and find cool local salt, from the sea, mines (or other!)

Autprax got me one from Vietnam. I use it a lot because it is very fine and mild.
I got from one of those coco frio roadside markets by Ogro's that is SUPER coarse
which I really like in guac because it has this nice little **crystally** crunch in the

Samin Nosrat's series on Netflix built off her book Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is worth a watch
For you salt connoisseurs, could you please answer me this question:
Why does salt have an expiration date?
Why does salt have an expiration date?
Probably a legal requirement. Same reason why bottled water has nutrition labeling.
There's an awesome salt out of Peru near Cuzco from this place:
The security girl had a laugh when I ran my bag through the X-Ray. "It's salt, I swear!"
The only thing five guys has going for it are the fries. Far superior to in n outs garbage fries.
speaking of over-rated regional favorites Whataburger is trash. Not even bad good like white castle. Just lower rung mediocrity that’s loved by stupid Texans for god knows why?

Well, they do give you white gravy with your chicken strips so the fatness level is off the charts
since the matrix is somehow always listening on all channels, Amazon Prime recommended
a documentary for me last night called My Name is Salt. it follows a family in India that moves
out to the desert seasonally to produce salt after the monsoon season.
it was very similar to another one I had watched recently called Machines
if you like cinematography and documentary, I'd burn one down and park it on the couch for
these; they are magnificent.
I like all his books...Cod, Salt, Basque History of the World, Paper....all good.
he's been on quite a tear....there's one on Oysters, Salmon, and a few others.
his writing is really interesting because he incorporates information from so many
different disciplines in to the story. Cod and Basque books were really interesting
from the perspective of North American discovery/travel.
