A sneaky boyfriend left a secret message in an Uber Eats order requesting cheese on his meat-free-burger after ordering a vegan option - just to appease his girlfriend.
A Gold Coast chef shared a photo to Reddit on Tuesday of a note accompanying an order in the store's computer system, citing it as 'possibly the best request he had ever seen'.
'I know this is a little weird for a vegan burger,' the message begins.
'But I am not actually vegan. My Mrs just won't let me get the beef burger because I like to slaughter them often and she reckons I'm going to get heart disease if I keep going.
'Can you pretty please sneak a little cheese on that bad boy so I can still live a little?'

'I would switch it for beef AND throw on cheese. Poor man,' one person wrote.
Another added: 'My heart goes out to this king'.
