Denny's Fried Cheese Melt Review

Denny's Fried Cheese Melt is comprised of four breaded mozzarella cheese sticks, sandwiched between a grilled cheese sandwich made out of two slices of American cheese and two buttered slices of sourdough bread.

This new $4 sandwich is part of Denny's response to tight consumer budgets and the economy of the times.

If the pic isn't enough here's a video. A 3-D version of that video is coming soon for you 2-D snobs.

BTW: Why is that bitch so skinny.

That sandwich obviously comes from the combination of an overstock of cheese at Denny's restaurants and a public that's ready and willing to eat any product that they see on the Ol' TeeVee. We worry about advertisements that make us unsatisfied with our bodies, or advertisements that make us feel materially inadequate, but never about our expectations of our food.

Just watch any restaurant commercial on TV and what do they tell you? They tell you that you're supposed to get the most flavorful food, with the largest portion, at the cheapest price. And do you know what you get when you combine those three things?

Flavor equals fat and salt because it's cheap,

horrible ingredients

because you want a large portion while maximizing your dollar.

A restaurant advertisement that sells food that you eat just to survive is not attractive. Your meal is supposed light up every taste bud, fill your stomach, all while making you feel like a smart consumer becuz it's cheap.

The sandwich is absolutely disgusting. I couldn't be friends with anyone who ate this sandwich. I would seriously lose all respect for them as a human being, my view of them as would shatter, and I would look at them as if they told me that they were going to University of Phoenix*. I would respect them more if they had a heroine habit or if they told me that the iphone they carried around was broken, and that they carried it around as a social status symbol.

At this point in my life I'm such a health nut, that if I ate that sandwich I would feel like I've just been gang raped.

Below are Slashfood.com's comments on the sandwich. This is, for better or worse, America. I feel like we live in a nation of the Hills Have Eyes people.

Remember they are removing salt from our diet even if we don't want them to however I doubt they will quit stopping at the ice cream store for those tripple dips!

I think a 'minor rebellion"-eating a big, cheesy, calorie-laden meal, (w/marinara sauce..YUMMY!)- once in a while-is OK. That also depends on your metabolism, weight, and current health status. If you are 150 lbs overweight-forget it! If you have diabetes, other issues-forget it! Bottom line here is: Use digression, and good judgment. An occasional fling of food "porn" or junk food won't give most of us a cardiac arrest. And...give Denny's a break, OK? I like their coffee! LOL!

"Addicted to food", etc. My goodness, for crying out loud, I've been addicted to food for all 54 years of my born days, and that is one of the things which God has used to get me this far through life.

But not really surprising at all, as the Bible clearly tells us that one of the signs that we are living in the last days, is that people will be ungrateful.

*University of Phoenix is a fictional for profit online college, that uses snazzy advertisements to prey on those who think that a college degree is part of the American Dream, like homeownership. The University convinces students that a college degree will open doors, but what they don't tell them is that the degree has to be from a non-fiction university, from one that will not have your resume cc'ed throughout offices as joke, as potential employers laugh at your resume.

A great Frontline piece on for-profit universities.
