About a week or so ago, the Chicago-based Improv group, Hugs and Pullups, decided to issue a challenge to Octavarus to find and consume the Friendly’s Restaurant Grilled Cheese Burgermelt.  This is a burger with a grilled cheese sandwich in place of each bun.  You can see their full  challenge here.

The first part of their challenge was to locate a Friendly’s Restaurant.

Check.

Their second challenge was to order and consume said monstrosity.

here it comes.

I got it to-go, so that's why its on some sort of black mystery surface.

I ate it.  It wasn’t terrible, but it was by no means good.  I don’t know why they think that lettuce should go anywhere near scalding hot buttered bread, but whatever.  Honestly, every ingredient in there wasn’t of “optimal quality.”  The burger was bland, the tomatoes were meh, the grilled cheeses themselves were smashed to appear as only one piece of bread.  The cheese was everywhere.  It was a gooey mess.  You know, like a burger?  Yeah.

The last challenge was to complete challenges one and two and live to tell the tale.  I know I will live.  Know why?

I’ve already done this.

AHHH HAHAHA! You Fools!

I had already made this monstrosity in college my senior year.  Only back then, I added pulled pork just under the burger.

Proof? You got it.

Mine was far superior.

We called it the MonsterSandwich.  Klahsio, Chris and I made it and ate it.  It was delicious. Boom Boom.

But as far as the Friendly’s Burger goes?
