A close-up of a cheeseburger with four main layers inside a shiny, sesame-seed topped golden brown bun. The bottom layer is a light toasted bun, above it a juicy, grilled beef patty with a melty, bright yellow slice of cheddar cheese. On top of the cheese, there are cooked translucent onions covered with a thick layer of smooth, creamy orange sauce that slightly drips down the sides.
