Since all fried foods have a degree of acrylamides ( cancerginic
compound) I avoid most of them.. CHeese is oneof my joys which Ieat
sparingly. Cheese can easily be melted with deepfat frying.

Seriously, who cares? Just don't go to Denny's if you don't want to. If you do, order something else. Nobody is forcing anyone to eat this sandwich and we are still a free nation to do as we wish. It might be a guilty pleasure that one might indulge in once in a while as I might indulge in a Big Mac about twice a year. I don't even understand why this is a story. Psst...maybe you should look into the large bags of chips and such sold at grocery stores and mini marts, as they are laden with fats and calories and have been for years. I know for a fact that some indulge in the 2 or more serving bags of chips and eat nearly the entire things in one sitting. Now there's a story!

My financial situation is bad....Bush's fault. Business are closing all around us and it's frightening..Bush's fault. A lot of my friends are out of work....again, nobody's fault but Bush's.....Everything is Bush's fault, get it? What would we do without Bush to blame everything on?!?

OK everyone, relax. Don't go to Denny's. Don't buy the grilled-cheese thing. <i>you won't notice</i>, trust me. If you're smart enough to notice it's potentially that bad, why worry if you aren't going to eat it? If you're worried other people might eat it, get a life and stop being nosy, please. We'll all thank you for it.

I'm really puzzled by articles like this. Is the point to protect consumers? Is the point to harm Denny's? Is the point to criticize businesses for trying to come up with successful products, if those products don't meet certain criteria of acceptability? Is the point to accuse the typical consumer of being too dumb to understand what they're eating? This article is so paternalistic and patronizing that it makes me sicker than anything Denny's might serve.

Guarenteed coronary in every sandwich.

Seriously, I've tried the KFC Double Down and it's disgusting. The only KFC chicken worth eating anyway is the extra-krispie because they leave the skin on so you can pull the skin and breading off the meat when you eat it, eat the meat and toss the rest in the garbage. The breading tastes terrible.

My guess is this "sandwich" is similar. They created it just to make headlines not because it tastes good.

Watch for the next concoction out of fast food places - 2 slabs of deep-fried Crisco slathered with mayonnaise and canned cake batter.

Mmmm - I LOVE the breading - that's my favorite part!!!

Sigh, so much temptation out there at restaurants. It's not so bad when you can cook substitutes at home like oven-fried chicken, but I went to Las Vegas a while ago, and it was virtually impossible to find healthy food that was tasty. Either you have to buy fried chicken and take off the good part, or have to eat some salad with a grilled chicken breast on top that comes with a fat-laden dressing which you can't really add.

I can understand how somebody could easily go to someplace like Denny's and look through the selection and start feeling like if they were going to eat a burger and fries, how is a fried-cheese stuffed grilled cheese sandwich all that much worse in comparison?

I wish restaurants would be taking their menu in the opposite direction - so frustrating!

Bacon makes everything better. But to really top this meal off, it should be chased down with a large strawberry shake.

=====================================
Theres a fast food chain called Portillos around where Im at that serves a Chocolate Cake shake. You can actually watch them put in slices of cake and stir it up. :)

MMMMMM that looks nummy!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese!! But I would make this with lowfat cheese.

LOL I was wondering the same thing - that if you made it with low-fat cheese, would it really be all that bad because cheese has lots of calcium :D

That's just instincts though - in real life, it'd be so easy to just make a grilled cheese on whole wheat with just a slice of reduced fat cheese and a little bit of reduced fat margarine. With a big salad on the side.

Everything in moderation :)

Cheese is heavy in saturated fats, and should be eaten only in moderation, and mostly by active people, like kids. No one should eat this monstrosity.

And what's wrong with saturated fats? It's not the saturated fats that will get you in food products like these, it's the chemical junk and trans fats.

And "American Cheese" isn't real. It's "Processed American Cheese Food", or worse, and it's full of chemicals and tastes bad.
