[MOOYAH Burgers, Fries and Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-hawaiian-pretzel-pub-burger) (MOOYAH) is changing the burger game with an exciting new innovation: the [Patty Melt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serious-eats).

Officially available as of February 19th, the Patty Melt is a burger made for cheese lovers. The new dish starts with a seasoned, certified Angus beef patty that's grilled to perfection and then topped with a rich blend of melted Swiss and American cheeses. The whole thing is then topped with [caramelized onions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-french-onion) and the brand's signature house-made sauce for that zesty kick. All this is served between two highly toasted, freshly baked buns. As Sarah Morris, VP of Marketing for MOOYAH, puts it, "Our team is inspired by the traditional elements of the burger experience while providing our unique spin. We look forward to serving our fans unforgettable masterpieces that combine tradition and comfort, all in one burger.”

The Patty Melt is officially available until May 12, 2024.
