In reply to the discussion: Any other Patty Melt fans here? I actually got a great one today from a fast food joint [View all]Hugh_Lebowski
(33,643 posts)38. I'm flexible on the cheese, it just has to be really MELTED and I've had some attempts
with real swiss where it just wasn't all the way gooey, and that's a critical part of the experience for me
That's why I kinda like the processed cheese cause that's easy for the cook to get melty.
Aside from the cheese being in a near-liquid state also key is the grilled bread with a strong rye flavor & caraway seed crunch, and the way the onions are cut, and how they're cooked.

On your sage advice, I'll make a pilgrimage to Whataburger ... which is like 6 miles away
