Is that a problem? Is it the combination of meat and milk which is not allowed?
It is not ... I am not Jewish, but I generally order my burgers sans cheese, I just prefer them that way.
From Wikipedia
Mixtures of milk and meat (Hebrew: בשר בחלב, basar bechalav, literally "meat in milk") are prohibited according to Jewish law. This dietary law, basic to kashrut, is based on two verses in the Book of Exodus, which forbid "boiling a (kid) goat in its mother's milk"[1][2] and a third repetition of this prohibition in Deuteronomy.[3] Some claim the Biblical statement was referring to suet (חֵלֶב) and not milk (חָלָב).
According to the Talmud, these three almost identical references are the basis for three distinct dietary laws:[4]
- the prohibition against cooking a mixture of milk and meat
- the prohibition against eating a cooked mixture of milk and meat
- the prohibition against deriving any benefit from a cooked mixture of milk and meat.
