Cheeseburger with grilled-cheese sandwiches for buns

Yessir, this is a cheeseburger with one whole grilled-cheese sandwich for a top bun and one whole grilled-cheese sandwich for a bottom bun. Get ‘em while they’re hot, only at the Sycamore.

The question is, is this more decadent than the Mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese with jalapenos and bacon at Bender’s?

UPDATE: No, no. The question is, when will Bender’s introduce the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Grilled-Cheese Cheeseburger, the cheeseburger with a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a top bun and a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a bottom bun?

      so by this logic if i make myself an omelette tomorrow morning, am i ‘ripping off’ some Ancient Roman dude who invented the omelette? do we have to invent new dishes any time we prepare or serve food?

    You mean way to rip off Kenji from Serious Eats.
    It’s common knowledge in the burger world that he invented this years ago and has had multiple restaurants do it and even call it what he called it (which i’m blanking on right now).

  8. You guys sound kind of dumb when you use the phrase “rip off” to describe someone cooking something that someone else cooked before.

    • Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

      Why? Recipes can be, and often are, considered to be legitimate trade secrets.

      In this case, mostly I just think the whole idea of a grilled-cheese-bun on a cheeseburger is incredibly disgusting. I mocked it repeatedly when I first saw such a thing at Friendly’s, and, if anything, I just find it sad and hilarious that other people are making the same crappy, disgusting thing.

      • It’s not a recipe; it’s an idea. And your belief that this sandwich is “disgusting” is irrelevant to your mis-use of the phrase “rip off”.

        • scum says:

          So all modern beer is a “rip off” of the Sumarians? The earliest known chemical evidence of beer dates to circa 3500–3100 BC from the site of Godin Tepe in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran.[13]

        • Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

          Ok, I take your point.

    Never thought I would say these words, but I agree with Cranky Old Mission Guy.

    And apparently, if you’re not first you’re the worst!!

  10. scum says:

    If I put Rooster sauce in my Ramen am I ripping someone off?

    This all makes me hangry.

  12. carlos. says:

    so, on a lighter note…

  13. There’s a food truck down in L.A. “Grill Em All” that has one of these…
    It’s simply called: BEHEMOTH
