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.

If these subs are anything like the philly steak I just got ripped off for then it will look like a heavy crust...too much cheese and a hint of the so called steak and 3 sliced mushrooms with a super thin slice or 4 of the green bell pepper looking stuff

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!

I had lunch at Gramercy Tavern serveral time and yes the picture is correct. They actually had way too much meat on mine every time. Also don't worry about getting embarrased to take home the left over. My friend couldn't finish hers so she asked and they treated in a very cool manner....they took the meal away and gave her a ticket....just like a coat check and all she had to do was hand in the ticket at the door to pick up her food bag.

These sandwiches were great! A few of us ordered and sampled each one, and they were all great, the best is between the chicken club and the steak...it was surprising!

guess you have to get em in Texas. I ordered two during our stay last night at the Hyatt in Austin. It was made just like a great hot sandi should be!. Toasted bun ( not burned) wrapped in a special hot pack ( had to let it cool a bit when it got to our room---delivery was less than20 minutes from call. We had the Philly and wife had different. I'll do this again in a heartbeat!!
