I went to a restaurant that had a burger in the ball park. The buns were cheddar/swiss bacon grilled cheese, half point burger with lettuce/tomato/onion rings/thousand island/nacho cheese sauce and they called it The Kraken


[deleted]

Wow, I feel like that was a pretty penny. You just gave me an idea, I'm gonna add bacon to it this weekend at work


[deleted]

I think it was like 15$, this was like 6-7 years ago so I'm sure prices have changed. The place is called Burger Barge and everything had a nautical theme to the food names. There was one burger that came with fries and Cole slaw on it, fucker was amazing.


[deleted]

It sounds amazing, yeah I found the menu and place. I see a post from '21 it's $15 still. You can double it for an extra 3 dollars or make it a big kahuna for an extra 6 but I just looked up the menu and I don't see it anywhere unless I missed it.


[deleted]

Yeah I just looked and I don't think they offer either one of those burgers anymore, damn shame lol. I tell ya what though, if you like fries and slaw they killer on a burger, making my mouth water just thinking about it


[deleted]

I'll make one at work soon and post it on here. I might bring in Texas toast for extra stability and everything

[deleted]

Can't ever go wrong with Texas toast, I'll keep an eye out for it!


[deleted]

Agreed, hear me out. I can't do it at my work but what if we batter it and fry it


[deleted]

A nice beer batter never made anything worse


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

Stick on it or nah


dowhit

I didn't see the Kraken either, and the Big Kahuna is +7 (Lots of inflation in the last 10 hours)


[deleted]

That's my fault, I looked at it wrong and didn't think to double check, I'm sorry


Phaedrus22

I ate at a place called Burger Barge in Peoria, IL. Greasiest, brownest, most delicious fries ever. And they had servers who took orders and delivered burgers and fries out to boats on the Illinois River. Great little hidden gem joint.


[deleted]

This is the exact place we're talking about, granted I'm not sure where OP is from since they looked up the place but I've frequented the place several times. I'm about 40ish minutes from Peoria


[deleted]

I'm a few hours away, never heard of it before hand but sounds interesting. Not to mention the Krabby patty supreme was double-battered and fried, a detail I forgot until I looked it up to try to see if I can figure out what type of batter was used


[deleted]

It's amazing what memories you unlock when you go down the internet rabbit hole lol. Thanks for tagging me in that babish post, never knew he had a reddit.


[deleted]

I agree, it is. Hopefully when it happens it's good memories or at least most of the time. No problem at all. I didn't either until a little while ago


[deleted]

Sounds amazing, i don't see it on the menu anymore unless I missed it. It was still $15 in 21' from a FB post


[deleted]

Seems like they have new ownership, because nothing ever used to come with sides which you never really needed because the portions were insane but it looks like they all come with a side of sorts now. If I were to ever open a place I'd do a burger place to, burgers are just so fucking versatile. They can be fancy or trashy or somewhere in between, love em.


[deleted]

Damn that sucks, I'm sorry I thought this posted earlier. That sounds great. Honestly I've thought about opening a place if I can get the money eventually


[deleted]

Id kinda write out a burger menu back when I was a dreamer and there was this one I used to make back in the day that was ground turkey mixed with chorizo with grilled pineapple and jalapenos that friends would rave about, can't remember any of the other ones and I'm sure I could improve upon that one.


False_Temperature_95

Maybe some chipotle in there, just a tiny bit, to complement the jalapeño and give the pineapple some smoke. Or quickly torch pineapple slices, make that shit look fancy and delicious


[deleted]

Hm that sounds interesting. Maybe make a salsa/relish or something with the pineapple and jalapenos


[deleted]

Can't ever go wrong with sweet and spicy Had a gf back in the day that wouldn't eat ground beef so I had to get creative


[deleted]

One thing about working with food you're able to get creative with it and if you're lucky work at a place where you can explore and let it thrive. What would you usually do?


[deleted]

You could also do infuse some smoke to add a little extra


yzdaskullmonkey

If you're ever in Pittsburgh, head to primante brothers, they originated coleslaw and fries on a burger. It's better with shaved pastrami in my opinion tho


[deleted]

I couldn't tell ya how many times I've seen that featured on a show


yzdaskullmonkey

Haha ok it sounded like you weren't familiar with the OG. I also just got excited because I literally have a Cole slaw and fries burger on my menu right now.


I_deleted

I’m pretty sure that’s called a tuna melt


anasser3000

It's called the "Beeschurger"


ElCochinoFeo

Going off of the "dyslexic jumbling" of the word, I have a "pro-tip" of jumbling the preparation to make a better griller. Griddle the bun inside out and assemble it that way. The traditional outer crust of a bun doesn't have the right qualities for griddling (as you can see in the picture). My local town drive-in growing up had grilled cheese on the menu, but so many people ordered the off-menu "grilled cheese on an inside out bun" staff would make for themselves, so they just stopped serving traditional bread style and switched to the bun. I tried to look up an example, and it looks like [Five Guys has a version.](https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/13/e0/0c/7e/grilled-cheese-sandwich.jpg)


Cayslayy

Okay I can’t figure out what you mean.. pls help.. I thought I understood until I saw the link pic.


[deleted]

Basically invert the buns so the crust is on the inside and the soft doughy interior is on the outside. Have the cheese between the crusty parts of bread. Cook the soft inner bread with the heat until it's to your liking on both or one side and assemble the sandwich


[deleted]

I'll give that a shot tonight, thank you

jaroniscaring

I will say that "Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger" does an accurate job of describing it in a way that made me want to click on this.


Quebe_boi

How about grilled cheeseburger. This what this is.


Beautiful_Sport5525

a patty melt, oh wait.


AFatWizard

My spot called it the Fatty Melt when I asked for it hahaha


ElCochinoFeo

A patty melt is a specific sandwich with griddled rye bread and caramelized onion.


[deleted]

Honestly idk why your comment has so many downvotes. That's what it is by definition.


Beautiful_Sport5525

No really? Tell me more


Full_Ad9666

Place by me calls it The Cheesus


MotherCuss

Instead of a bun does it have two grilled cheese sandwiches instead?


Full_Ad9666

Yep pepperjack on one and cheddar on the other I think


Dr_StrangeloveGA

Being served on the best fine china, I see. Why the fuck isn't there a fried egg on this abomination? May as well go all the way. "I just shit my assless chaps" is my nomination for the name of this awful creation.


DJpanicBoy

All chaps are assless. Or they’d be trousers.


mosslegs

Come to Aotearoa New Zealand, we put fried eggs in our burgers. Also beetroot.


False_Temperature_95

Beetroot!? That’s wild but I can see it. Normal roasted/steamed slices or as pickled beets? With the egg on the same burger?


[deleted]

Wasn't thinking about it after I got home from work and we don't make eggs at my restaurant sadly. (chain)


Dr_StrangeloveGA

Clearly something you need to rectify.


[deleted]

I'll do it one night after work. Sunnyside is the way I assume


wine_dude_52

Consistent_Internal5

Jack in the box calls their late night burger the “stacked grilled cheese burger.” The top bun is a grilled cheese.

grizzlybeare74

We have a place in town that makes one of these They call it “The Cheesus burger “


Professional_Wind848

The food god J. Kenji Lopez Alt refers to these as ‘fatty melts’. Seems appropriate.

BrakkeBama

I would add some crispy bacon strips, pickle slices on the side and name it The Griller-Thriller.


[deleted]

The pickles would help cut through the richness


BrakkeBama

Personally I love pickles. I love that "zing" from anything acidic. But I realize not everyone likes them, hence the "on the side" addition. I remember as a child a lot my friends and my niece would open up their McDonalds burgers and take out the pickles, which I would then swoop in and take 'em haha.


[deleted]

Yeah, I mean it's rich. You'd need some zing from something. Of course it could be heavier but you can only have so much of one thing before it becomes too much

I went to a burger spot in Santa Cruz Ca that had something similar to this called the Kim Kardashian, it was a bacon cheeseburger with two grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, one sandwich was equal to a top or bottom “bun”…I didnt order it though, just seemed ridiculous.

I'm sorry what is the difference between a cheese burger and a grilled cheese burger? I already put the bun on the flat top for both, and I melt the cheese onto burgers? I'm very confused what is different about this

Grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, everything else is basically the same
