Isn't this just a burger

>>17324373
is a patty melt just a cheeseburger?
caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms would be good on that cheeseburger.

>>17324373
on my top 5 for sure
patty melts are relatively easy to make as well

>>17324519
>>17324645
No

>>17324645
>mushrooms
ew

>>17324659
Why is not a burger?

>>17324373
>patty melt
>best grilled cheese sandwich
Pick one, and then go sit in timeout.
Patty melt is good, sure.
But tuna melt fucks patty melt ass-to-mouth with no lube.

For me, It's not a patty melt unless it's on rye bread (It's the McChicken(R))

>>17326122
it doesn’t use burger buns, therefore, it is not a burger.

>>17326194
Right, look at the recipe, it is made like a cheese toastie

>>17326194
What makes burger buns more special then toast?

Do you need to precook the beef or is it ok to sandwich it and then cook?

>>17326243
the heat of the sandwich will cook the beef

>>17326243
Cook the beef first or the bread will burn before the beef fully cooks. It also wouldn't cook the same. You can maybe do it half way.

>>17324373
for me its poor knights

>>17326235

The buns.

>>17326458
But it's still just flour, sugar, eggs, yeast and butter.

>>17326473

But it's a bun.

>>17324519
>>17326122
>>17326136
>>17326194
if the cheese is melted on the burger and put in between two slices of toast, then it's a hamburger sandwich with cheese, aka a cheeseburger. if the burger is placed between the bread and topped with cheese while the bread and cheese are still cold, and then cooked on a griddle or in a pan, then it's a grilled cheese.

>>17326542
But the ingredients are still the same

>>17326566
so is omelette and hardboiled egg my friend

>>17326570
But omlettes have fillings

For me it's croque-monsieurs

>>17326136
Tuna melts are disgusting. Cheese and fish do not belong together

>>17326566

The composition is different. It's a bun.

>>17326570
except the difference between a burger bun and white bread is more like the difference between an egg fried in a round mold and an egg fried without one.

>>17326589
Seethe more italiancel

>>17324373
I get one at a greasy diner once a month. Hard to beat for the money. Reuben would be a close second.

>>17326589
Wrong. Almost as retarded as the “no carbs on carbs” rule for faggot parrots.

>>17326573
didnt find a better analogy :C

>>17326611
>no carbs on carbs
thats objectively true though, only savages do it

>>17326602
I'm irish, dickhead. It's just that the smell of fish belongs with citrus and light elements. Cheese and cream are too heavy for fish, except maybe a beurre blanc sauce or something. Only a literal savage tastelet retard would melt cheese on sea-smelling fish.

>>17326622
canned tuna doesn't smell like the sea it smells like canned tuna. all the sea smell has been cooked out of it in the canning process. it's already boiled to hell so who cares if there's some cheese on it

>>17326617
potato chips in a sandwich offers a nice crush and texture. I dunno about fries though.

>>17324373
>grilled cheese
>posts a burger

what did OP mean by this

>>17327898
obviously that is a grilled cheese with a hamburger patty

>>17326611
t.brit

>>17326622
Sneed. Don't play sophisticated if you don't even know how tuna tastes like

Stop posting this thread dude

>>17329172
He keeps running out of buns man, be considerate.

I punched a patty melt in the stomach for saying my dad walks around on stilts

>>17327273
it works like this, so make the sandwich (protein of choice) then you fill the rest of the sandwich up with fries while theyre still hot
then you slather a lot of mayonaise with a dull knife on the hot fries.
sodium overkill

The heat of the cheese cooks the burger

>>17326622
>one of the best pizza toppings totally doesn’t go with cheese
Okay, back into the potato-mines with you, O’Brien.

>>17326243
Yes you need to pre cook the beef

>>17326560
A grilled cheese is only cheese, butter and bread. If you put any other ingredient in it out becomes a melt.

>>17324659
Cope

>>17329381
I'm cooming my brains out. That sandwich looks like sex.

>>17329381

>duh isn't it just a burger duh?????
No, morons. It's a melt. It's not a burger. It's not a grilled cheese sandwich. It's a melt. You sit here, pretending to be culinary experts day in and day out, and you don't even know the difference between a grilled cheese, a burger and a melt. Do a single one of you know what a sub is? Huh? Nimrods.

>>17324373
A cheeseburger with toast in place of buns. Epic. Great eating right there

>>17324373
Absolutely based

>>17330973
Bread too thick. Would not eat

>>17330973
I would like to try a patty melt with texas toast.

>>17330975
The toast is nowhere near that thick outside of the bullshots

>>17330983
>misleading marketing
Would not go to Whataburger

>>17329993
That’s retarded, anon.
Let’s try our best not to be retarded, okay?

Is the sonic patty melt good?

I've had some good burgers in my time. I love a good swiss-melted swiss cheese and mushroo-roasted mushrooms and caramelized onions on a burger. Uh, that is hot stuff. You can get that at a number of different places.

>>17330983
>>17330989
Can’t blame Whataburger for >>17330973
That image is from some shitty little food-delivery company in Alabama.
They took an actual Whataburger image of their pattymelt and did a fucking retard-tier job photoshopping it in front of fries/drink.
Pic related - the original image. You can look at the cheese and onions and see it’s the same “model” sandwich.

>>17331007
>sonic
take a wild guess

>>17331068
Bruh what?
Unless your local sonic in particular is unusually shitty, the sandwiches they make with Texas toast are one of the not-many menu items which redeems Sonic enough to continue existing.

>>17324519
basically

>>17326116
wtf bro
how can you not like mushoorms

>>17326243
stop being so stupid

this thread again?

How big of a faggot do you have to be to care whether it is called a grilled cheese or a melt? Everyone doing that just euthanize yourselves.

I’m more of a tuna melt chad myself

>>17324373
So a hamburguer on a wonderbread slice?

>How big of a faggot do you have to be to care whether it is called a grilled cheese or a melt? Everyone doing that just euthanize yourselves.

>>17324373
Can't disagree friend. This, the cuban, and the Monte cristo are alltime greats

>>17332749
Based take, I bet you're fun at parties and can re-rail de-railed conversations
>>17332763
This is why you don't have any IRL friends

>>17332989
>I have a few

>>17324373
Gotta be a Monte Cristo for me

>>17333048
also baste, but is a monte cristo a grilled cheese sandwich?

>>17326136
This pedantic joke stopped being funny 8 years ago redditor

This one time I went to checkers and a couple cockroaches climbed out of the bag. Never again.

>>17329993
...Yes, OP called it a melt. What was your point here?

>>17324373
carmalized + grilled onions on this past weekend's Patty melts. satisfying

>>17324373
nice cheeseburger bro

>>17335566
What the fuck are you even talking about you retarded ass piece of shit?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger

I'm just going to put this here...

>>17330939
you are a burger and your face is a melt

>>17327978
Food to make non-bongs seethe.

>>17330975
This. Remember the three finger rule. If it's thicker than your index, middle and ring fingers put together, then it's not going to fit in your mouth. You could cut it, but that defeats the point of a sandwich.

>>17324373
patty melts are kind of a let down, its a lot better when the beef is crumbled and all of it gets browned
chopped cheese is where its at but i'll just make it like a patty melt if i don't have the bread/vegetables

>>17337689
proppa bargain

>>17337689
that looks better than most examples I've seen

>>17326136
Fuck no, who tf wants shitty fish when you can have glorious beef, you commie

>but an Asian made it! Bro, that's like the anime bro!

>>17338482
That looks a lot better than OP's pic, but also messy and time consuming. I think the whole point of burgers and patty melts is convenience.

>>17338647
its honestly a very comparable amount of effort, the only time addition is having to chop a tomato and some lettuce. the choice of bread really doesn't matter, new york puritans be damned. anyway though the main point i wanted to make is that crumbling up the beef in the pan so you get more browning and crispy bits makes for a much better sandwich than actually making a patty
