Denny’s -- the US-based all-night casual dining chain that makes a sport of topping itself in extreme foods -- is at it again with the launch of a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with macaroni and cheese and a beef patty blanketed in Frisco sauce.
Mac 'N Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt (Denny's)
Their Mac ‘n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt is part of the diner’s ‘Let’s Get Cheesy’ menu which launched this week across the chain‘s US locations and includes a hand-pressed beef patty topped with their new creamy white macaroni and cheese, melted cheddar cheese and a zesty Frisco sauce stuffed between two slices of grilled potato bread.
Frisco sauce is a mix of salad dressings. The meal is served with wavy-cut fries.
The new menu also includes five other cheese lovers’ dishes like a three-cheese omelette; fried beef steaks covered in a pepper jack cheese sauce; and a breakfast sampler with cheddar smoked sausages and scrambled eggs with cheese and hash browns.
Dessert offerings include Strawberry Pancake Puppies with a cream cheese icing and a Strawberry Cheesecake milk shake.
To promote the limited-time menu, Denny‘s has also launched a “Cheesiest Joke” competition on Twitter, inviting its 10,250 followers to submit their ‘cheesiest’ chat-up lines and jokes.
Earlier this year, the all-American diner served a Baconalia menu that included a maple bacon sundae: vanilla ice cream topped with maple flavored syrup and hickory-smoked bacon.
In July, Denny‘s was singled out along with casual restaurant chains like The Cheesecake Factory and Applebee’s for serving some of the most calorific meals in the US. In spite of items like deep-fried mozzarella sticks stuffed in a grilled cheese sandwich, Denny‘s also offers a lighter menu of salads, while The Cheesecake Factory launched a new low-calorie menu weeks following the damning report. Applebee’s also offers a menu with items under 550 calories.
Denny’s has 1,500 locations in the US, Canada, Costa Rica, Guam, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Japan.(AFP)

1700kcal짜리 ‘폭탄샌드위치’ 인기몰이
비만과의 전쟁중인 미국에서 외식체인업체인 데니스가 1700kcal짜리 ‘폭탄 샌드위치’를 선보여 화제가 되고 있다.
이 외식업체가 선보인 ‘맥앤치즈 빅대디 패티 멜트 (Mac ‘n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt)’ 라는 메뉴는 버터에 구워진 감자 빵 속에 소고기 패티, 치즈 녹인 마카로니, 체다치즈, 각종 샐러드 드레싱을 혼합한 소스 등으로 만들어졌으며 함유 칼로리가 총 1,700kcal정도라고.
게다가 이 메뉴는 감자튀김과 같이 서빙되어 한 접시당 칼로리, 지방 함량은 성인 권장량을 몇 배는 훌쩍 초과한다.
데니스는 치즈를 좋아하는 고객을 위해 다른 메뉴들도 선보였다. 치즈 범벅인 튀긴 소고기 스테이크와 스트로베리 치즈케이크으로 만든 밀크셰이크도 이 메뉴들중 하나.
이 외식업체는 이미 미국에서 가장 칼로리가 높은 음식을 선보이는 업체로 선발되었으며 올해 초에는 바닐라 아이스크림 위에 메이플 시럽 범벅인 베이컨을 올린 디저트 메뉴를 선보여 인기를 끌었다.(Herald online)
