Denny's New Fried Cheese Melt: Just a NJ Transit Trip Away

Denny's has decided to update its $2 $4 $6 $8 menu (which includes $2 biscuits and gravy) with this "fried cheese melt"—four mozzarella sticks intimately caressed inside an oozing grilled cheese sandwich. We haven't seen anything this transcendent since we caught that double rainbow over a Luther Burger. We immediately decided we needed to get our hands on one, and luckily the closest Denny's is just 30 miles away in Avenel, NJ, and a leisurely one mile walk from the closest New Jersey Transit station!

For those willing to make the pilgrimage, $4 will buy you nearly half of your daily caloric needs. According to their nutrition facts, a Denny's grilled cheese and four of their mozzarella sticks comes out to 895 calories, 34 grams of fat and 2,565 milligrams of sodium. Which is actually way less than we expected. Double Down, you have been challenged.
