Your "grilled cheese for grownups" is a hamburger!

I guess calling it a “Thickburger” is strictly a Hardee’s thing.

Oh, yeah. Hot cheese all over the place. The tomatoes are perky, and the mutton is nice and lean. Fuck, yeah…aaah, I don’t care what it’s called; I’m all over that.

Damn it, now I want a grilled cheese =_=

It’s possible to put a ground beef patty in a pan and put it in the oven, and cook it that way. I’m not sure that this is, strictly speaking, roasting the thing. If it’s got gravy on it while it’s cooking, that’s a Salisbury steak. Usually I just put the patty down on one of those “fat drainer” pans, the kind with two pans, one inside the other, and the inner pan has holes for the fat to drain through. These pans are marketed as being meatloaf pans, but they’ll work well for patties too.

Oh heavens! :eek: RECIPE!!! NOW! please??? :smiley:

It even has whole grain bread (whole oat if I am recognizing it clearly).

I prefer this kind of grilled cheese sandwich.

Yes, I have, and yes, it is good.

I used it on some sirloins that I purchased as manager specials. They were a bit thinner than I normally want for the grill. I don’t usually like putting anything other than olive oil and fresh garlic on my grillin meats, but this worked out rather well, making the sirloins cook up with a great flavour.

Except for smoking briskets, sirloin is the cheapest cow cut I will grill, and the only cut I’ll experiment with. I don’t want to chance ruining a good ultra thick rib eye or porterhouse with something that I may or may not like. However, if I find a good marinade or dry rub that works on the sirloins, I will be tempted to (and sometimes have) use it on the higher end meats. Cheaper cuts than sirloin simply don’t appeal to me at all, regardless of how superior the touted dry rub or marinade is supposed to be.

I’ve used Hot Rocks on frozen bagged chicken breasts, too, and it was great. A little lime juice goes on as well. Then, melt some Monterrey jack on top right before pulling them off. Yum. … Cheap - tasty - good.

I also like thick cut grilled pork chops.

I don’t have to be a gourmet each and every cooking session.

For your reading pleasure, I give you these two sandwich related comics:

Look, you people have only yourselves to blame for this.

You let them get away with calling just anything a pizza. They called anything spread on flatbread a pizza. You let them get away with it. Then they called anything with tomato sauce and cheese a pizza, no matter what kind of bread it came on – bagels, Italian bread, rolls. And you let them get away with it. So they made “desert pizzas.” Did you let them get away with it? Yes. Yes, you did. Don’t come crying to me when they start selling spaghetti as Pizza Pasta and lasagna as Pizza Casserole.

Tell me, consumer, what exactly makes something a chicken wing? Because that’s the part of the chicken it comes from, right? Wings have bones. So, what did you do when they started selling “boneless chicken wings”? You let them get away with it. These aren’t wings, they’re chicken breast tenders pre-dipped in sauce. And while we’re at it, which part of the chicken is the “tenders”? Yes, we know it’s breast meat, so why did they name it after genitals? For the Love of God, where’s the outrage?

Well, you let them get away with it. And now they’re pawning off cheeseburgers as “grilled cheese”. That warm treat that your deep lizard brain equates with mothers’ love has been whored out to sell Hardee’s suspiciously dense “burger” patties. You’re welcome.

Down at the cafeteria, the grillmaster will make you a cheesesteak sandwich or a chickensteak sandwich. Buh? Chickensteak? That’s annoying.

Can I note that they don’t actually use the name “grilled cheese sandwich” for “cheeseburger”? “Grilled cheese whatever thickburger” doesn’t imply that it’s a grilled cheese sandwich.

I don’t know whether to love you or hate you for that link :slight_smile: I’m so hungry!

(My most hated commercial slogan right now is Wendy’s, and Stouffer’s Lasagne commercials that tout their “real ingredients”)

I’m bumping this thread only to report to cards that I went there for lunch today and was quite happy. Good food.

Great Frank, thought you might like it.

AWESOME strip! Made it into my bookmarks by the 2nd panel of the first strip I read! Thanks!

^^

And now, if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna get me a new Pizza Crepe Taco Pancake Chili Bag at Taco Town.

I agree with this and the OP. Dishonest advertising* is *a good reason not to spend your money with a company. What I don’t get is, if they saw a market (grilled cheese eaters) why not just make a product that fills that market rather than calling your potential customers pussies for not wanting a burger.

Thank you for this, I laughed out loud… really.

It’s always noon somewhere. :wink:

And kidneyfailure, you’re a pobe.

No, no - you get that tasty squeaky Halloumi cheese, which even says on the package that it’s “The Cheese That Grills!” God, that stuff is good.

I just made three grilled cheese sammiches for my children!

I am so going to get flamed…

Torching the bread? Sounds like an interesting idea …

Uggg…Hardee’s once was a small Southern franchise burger chain, focusing especially on breakfast biscuits, and decent burgers. Then they were bought out by California burger magnates Carl’s Jr, and, in the past five years, have focused on their audience with their Thickburger ads. Featuring slobs heaving down a big sloppy burger and grunting in response. They really overdid it with the sound effects; I couldn’t figure out who would find it appealing. “Yeah, I want to be a slob!”

The current grilled cheese ad is just an extension of that, to show that only real men grunt down their real meat food like a hog, and a grilled cheese is for baby pansy boys.

This ad campaign has been stupid for years.

Seconded. Heaven.
