The picture above is from an Eastern US chain I’ve never heard of called Friendly’s and is called the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt. That’s right, it’s a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Not long ago, KFC came out with their Double Down where they skip the bread and put bacon and cheese between two fried chicken slabs.
At least the Heart Attack Grill (where people over 350 lbs eat for free and the waitresses are dressed like nurses) is honest about what their food will do to you.
With the economy down, more restaurants seem to be experimenting with odd sandwiches and other foods to ensnare customers, often without regard to calorie or fat content. What new and unusual sandwich have you encountered that isn’t quite like your mom’s plain, old tuna on Wonder bread?
There is no such thing as “bad food”, just bad eating habits. These places are just feeding the bad habit.
Good burgers are hard to find. Perhaps thats why people go to independent eateries in search of a non-corporate burger.
To me, the best burgers are made at home by far.
