Why is it called a hamburger if the beef comes from a cow? Ham comes from piggies.

I do if it's a big hamburger all the time. One of our employees claims he's Never heard of anyone doing it. I assume at least 50% of people do it.
The server at our restaurant says 80% of the clients do cut it.
Please tell us what you think
I think you ivy leaguers are dainty.
Absolutely, gotta cut that! Every single time.

Because they are named for a city, not a cut of meat.
Always. 50/50 on whether I eat the other half there or not, but halving that baby is a must. And I'm only talking burgers at decent restaurants... If my kids drag me to a chain or, Allah forbid, fast-food joint, I probably don't cut. But that's because I don't get burgers. Instead, I teach my kids to point and laugh at all the fatties as they expand their fat cells fondling their licensed guns and pledging their allegiance to Donald Trump. You know, America. So yeah...I halve my burgers.
If you are trying to eat a hamburger that is so large it needs to be cut in half, then you should be ordering a smaller hamburger.
I am a 51 year old midwesterner and have NEVER seen anybody cutting a hamburger in half before they eat it.
I have seen (and done myself) tearing a footlong coney (with mustard and onion) in half before eating it. I have NEVER seen anybody cut a footlong coney in half with a knife before eating it. They would just order two regular coneys.

Use the cutlery, we are not a bunch of monkeys throwing feces at each other.
You are a European and have no right to eat a hamburger.
Depends if the burger is full of sauce and juicy, then no.
I do what the table and social setting dictates. If we are dining and other folks have knife and fork food I knife and fork my burger. I might not cut it in half though. I might cut fork size pieces. If we all are having hand food like sandwiches I'll pick it up.
But the overriding consideration is the construction of the burger if its designed as a knife and fork meal I go with the cutlery. Much like the line between tasteful and obscene porn it's hard to describe the line that separates hand held from cut up but I know it when I see it.
In todays market place the hamburger come in many forms and each style has its own set of preferred set of consumption techniques.
Black Label Burger from Minetta Tavern NYC is a knife and fork Burger

In the fast food world Petey's Burger single can be hand held, the double can not and the triple version requires s bib, shovel, 64 wetnaps and a post meal shower
The single

The Double
I'd never seen this before until I met my wife.
Now I do it when trying to be good-mannered with company. I feel like my hands stay cleaner and it allows me to pace myself better.
If I'm alone I just eat the damn thing without putting it down.
Who posted the hotdog question to the LetsRun twitter account? Catsup on a hotdog? Has to be a troll question.
Last fall about 10-12 guys on our XC team went out specifically for burgers after a meet. ONE guy cut his burger in half, after and during which he was then teased without mercy. I think they still tease him about this - after a later meet the guys offered to cut his banana in half before eating...
You eat the food the way the chef chooses to have it presented to you at table. If there are utensils provided, you use the utensils in the manner for which they are designed.
There are reasons why we ridicule our high-ranking political figures who exhibit prissy table manners when presented with a pedestrian food.
Never seen anyone cut a burger in half before eating it. Ever.

I think I cut your post in two.
If I pay 15 bucks and up for an individual pizza made with Molino Caputo Tipo 00 pizzeria flour, San Marzano tomatoes and made in a Stefano Ferrara Wood-Fired Pizza Oven you bet your bippy I'm treating it like a fine dining experience.
BTW I have been a NY fold and fingertip lift guy for about 60 years.

If you can order an entree for $15 you aren't in a fine dining establishment.
And you just outed yourself as a poor.

I ALWAYS cut mine in half, as does everyone I choose to dine with. Of course, I tend towards nicer restaurants amidst refined company. I guess I could see how this would perplex the McDonald's/Applebee's folk though.
Well, you and your dainty friends can enjoy doing that.
If your going to cut a hamburger in half, why not just cut it in quarters or even 8ths? That way you can enjoy a slice of hamburger instead of having to eat the whole thing, plus it would look more symmetrical which could have pleasing aesthetic results as far as food presentation goes. You can even fool people into thinking you're giving them something fancy like hor d'oerves.
