A little more than a week ago, A Hamburger Today introduced the world to the Hamburger Fatty Melt, a burger with grilled cheese sandwiches as its bun.

And what did the world do?

It spit in our face. Here on this site, and on other sites where it was blogged about, all we heard was, "Where's the bacon?"

Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. I went through several iterations of the sandwich, trying different breads and different patty sizes, to find the proper beef-to-bun ratio—to create a burger you could actually fit in your mouth and one that a glutton of normal proportions might actually make.

But I guess with something like this, more is more, and so I heeded the call of the internets, and decided to make a second version of this burger with what you all said was the missing ingredient. What you are looking at above, ladies and gents, is the new, improved Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt. Here's the smack on this meat stack. From top to bottom:

* Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun top
* Bacon
* Cheese
* Four-ounce beef patty
* Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun bottom

Happy now? No? Then get a load of what follows , after the jump.

The Double(!) Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt


The stack-up on this one:

* Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun top
* Cheese
* Bacon
* Four-ounce beef patty
* Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as interstitial bun (a nod to the Big Mac)
* Bacon
* Cheeese
* Four-ounce beef patty
* Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun bottom

And here's the autopsy shot:



Wanna make one? Follow the recipe for The Hamburger Fatty Melt but stuff sandwiches with bacon and add bacon as a topping to your clogged little heart's content.

We also did a Single Bacon Fatty Melt with grilled onions (another frequently requested topping), for a heavier patty-melt vibe:



Now ... STFU.

[LSK]

1. just looking at that makes my mouth water and my stomach hurt

[Initech]

2. Wow, my heart hurts just looking at that thing.

:puke:

Of course the sad thing is... I could probably eat one.

[Symarip]

3. Holy Jesus I want to eat one of those!

I think they should add an egg on it somewhere it can be added to a breakfast menu, as well.

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. Jaysus...

just looking at that can give you a heart attack.

[meow2u3]

5. I gained 10 pounds just looking at that pic!

That's a sandwich only the underweight ought to eat. Remind me to steer clear of that delicious but fattening grub.

[Tektonik]

6. Those aren't grilled onions, ugh limp but crunchy onions

:puke:

[City of Mills]

7. Is that legal?

I think you have to draw the line somewhere...maybe serve it with a liability waiver you have to sign? :wow: :rofl:


Now... can you deep-fry it?

[Schema Thing]

8. Now THAT would be a great way to kick off my cleansing fast

[MsKandice01]

9. That looks gooooooooddddd.....

Yummy.

[Mutley]

10. Yes, that looks even more amazing than the first one.

But, I wouldn't be able to eat for a week after that. :P

[ElboRuum]

11. I know I really shouldn't

...but man do I want one.

[Bunny]

12. I think my artery just exploded.

Wow. That's some sandwich.

[harmonicon]

13. now there's a sandwich I could eat

I saw the fatty melt here last week and didn't even bother to comment. It was a pitiful attempt - not even a contender. This, on the other hand, is a sandwich worth some consideration.... no... admiration (only counting the double here, the single is a decent first attempt).

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. When I posted the original last week...

...there were a LOT of "where's the bacon" replies.

:rofl:

[TommyO]

17. The original single patty with bacon would be my perfect burger

It's still overkill, but it's not as, um, er, ah, deadly as this one.

I do want to thank you for introducing me to A Hamburger Today, there's a couple of NYC burger places including The Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien.

[Arugula Latte]

15. EW!

That just makes me sick. x(

[sakabatou]

16. ...

:puke:

[whistler162]

18. You had me up until the onions.......

still I bow before the epiteme of bacon cheeseburgerness!

19. Add mayo
