The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
We're still reeling from our love affair with the burger at The Dressing Room in Westport, Connecticut, but oh, my, that double grilled cheese idea is fine. We agree with Shale, though, about the addition of a few slices of bacon, and maybe some grilled onion . . .

Sugar Rush: Molasses Cookie at Tisserie
One of us has been longing for gingerbread. This might just settle the craving. Thank you for making the world a tastier -- and safer -- place. (We're not bearable when in the throes of culinary cravings. We can get a bit obsessive.)

Lettuce? Whaddya, crazy? Why? It adds nothing. Maybe some arugula (strong flavor) under the burger if you need a built-in salad, but plain old lettuce would just disappear.
But tomato in the grilled cheeses sounds good. Gotta have tomato on a cheeseburger.
I'm thinking maybe blue and swiss/Gruyère/Comté for the cheeses (one each), if not all extra-sharp cheddar. If using jalapeño cheddar (or better yet, habanero cheddar), only in one sammy, plain cheddar on the other. Otherwise the chiles will overwhelm everything else.
Bacon only if using cheddar. And not too much. Still have to taste the burger. Balance is important.

Log time reader - first time commenter...
Love the idea -
Much to the shargin of my wife I am going to try this idea out tonight. The biggest challenge to me is to ensure proper timing so that everything is at the proper heat to ensure that the butter, cheese and beef blend together properly and not congeal.
Cheers!

Gotta love it! I will try it soon using the thin bread squashed down. Here's one that everyone already knows, but as long as we are trying for the ultimate heart attack:

I'll be cooking up my version of the fatty melt burger today. No bacon, but I'll probably do a double patty with an extra slice in-between, and add wasabi mayo for some kick.
Has anyone tried a burger between 2 pizza slices with the points cut/chewed off? (Plain or pepperoni?) The $1 pizza place is around the corner, so I'm thinkin'...... cheese, tomato, bread, burger......

My husband and I mad these last week and they were delicious, if somewhat difficult to get the mouth around.

My college roommate invented this at the Oswego, NY college dining halls in 1980 when he would take a grilled cheese apart and stick a double cheeseburger (just the patties) in the middle. It got to the point where he would just say "Bob Burger" and they would do it for him.
I for one, a burger nut, rarely touched the low grade, over-cooked institutionalized burger meat. How sad since it was all prepaid and all you wanted to eat. Still managed to gain 20+ pounds anyway!

@smo10: I have tried the regular burger at Applebee's, and it was enough to turn me off *any* Applebee's burger. If you can't get a regular burger right, you have no business branching off into creative burgers. As they say, "You've gotta know the rules in order to break 'em."

Has anyone ever tried the Quesadilla Burger @ Applebee's? A burger between two quesadillas with pico! It is delicious!!

We need a Sourdough version here. Thinly sliced sourdough grilled cheese. I think both american and swiss should be used with some tomato and bacon melted into it. Then maybe a thin patty or two and a little thousand island. Toss in some raw red onion on top of the patty and dressing.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I know what's for dinner tonight!

I made this for a lunch feature, it was great everyone liked it. The thin bread made it yummy. I put a nice big sliced tomato and leaf lettuce on it.

If you don't have or can't wait to buy the very thin sliced bread, a panini maker will flatten the grilled cheese out nicely even with thicker bread.
The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
Yep I think it may be a lunch feature today where I work I will get the correct bread on my way in. Maybe a rye variation too. Wait till the boss asks me the lunch feature!!! Ha
