Photo: Friendly's
Edited By: tennisee Jun 24th, 2010 at 06:38 PM
KFC's Double Down sandwich couldn't hold the spotlight forever...we knew it was only a matter of time before someone pushed the envelope even further. And here it is: the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt from Friendly's.
The name "Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt" hardly does justice to this psycho-brilliant monstrosity, which amounts to three sandwiches morphed into one: First, there's a Friendly's Big Beef burger, but instead of a bun, there are two (count 'em, two!) grilled cheese sandwiches. Open wide.
More after the jump...
Cue the requisite gasp of shock as we roll out the numbers: 1500 calories (870 of those from fat); 79g of saturated fat; and a whopping 2090mg of sodium (trouncing the Double Down, which weighs in at a paltry 1380mg of salt).
i've never had either and plan on it staying that way.

I'd be interested in that. The double down no way but I'd try that one once.

i feel like that was on man vs food or some tv show like that once. but that sandwich isn't universally available so that's why this sandwich is a "first" ...altho there aren't friendly's everywhere. -

was bout to say I have never seen/heard of Friendly's before so I didn't realize it was universal......maybe you did see it on FoodTV or somthing, my buddy is the one who ate it, he is like a HUGE fitness nut and was on a weekend trip/vacation and decided he couldn't pass on trying it out....was just unreal, he ate the whole thing and complained for like 3 days after it about his stomach being fucked up lolOriginally Posted by tennisee

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I want you to close your eyes. Picture an OTer. He talks about gargantuan hamburgers, attended a middle eastern school in Tennessee, and posts more pictures of semi-naked women than SluggerWV. What's he wearing? Nothing special. Baseball cap on backwards. Fraternity t-shirt. Baggy pants. He says something ordinary like, "GTFO noob sauce." OK, now slowly open your eyes. Who are you picturing? PhiAlphaMTSU? Wrong. That was a young white woman. Surprised? Well shame on you."

I dominated a double down a couple of weeks ago. Pretty good, not great imo. This sandwich from Friendly's looks like a heartattack waiting to happen. That thing has enough carbs in it to kill someone with all of that bread. I'd like to see a woman get that thing in her mouth as well, she'd be +EV.
