Heart Attack Cheese Treats

Denny's 'Fried Cheese Melt' Mixes Fried Mozzarella & Grilled Cheese

Denny's is adding the 'Fried Cheese Melt' sandwich to the mix of heart attack-inducing foods. The intensely cheesy sandwich is essentially your regular ol' grilled cheese with some deep fried mozzarella sticks added to the mix for good measure.

The sandwich is bound to be absolutely delicious if you're into a lot of cheese and some deep fried goodness, but you might need to spend the rest of the day on a treadmill or swimming your way across a great lake.
