    I don't live that far from there, but have never been in. I'll have to pile in there this week and try one of their burgers.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Is there really a cheeseburger that uses two grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun?

    Sounds like the best thing ever.

    I'd love to see a google street view from back in the day! You can do google "satellite" view going through-out the past though.

    The Cheesus Burger

    The Soon-to-be-Famous Burger Behemoth. We’ve done away with the bun and
    replaced it with two grilled cheese sandwiches. That’s right, two of them.
    One on top, one on the bottom. Pickles and American cheese inside one, Grilled
    Onion and Colby Jack in the other. Lettuce, Tomato, Ketchup, Mustard, and
    1/3lb Burger in between. You won’t need to eat again for 2 days.
    Comes with a bag of chips and a case of napkins. $8.00

    I do. For a trip down memory lane, did you ever go to Shakey's on Boone's Ferry?

    It's now a Round Table. I think Shakey's closed sometime in the late 80s.
