A dive into the past…read bellow.

Greetings burger lovers!

Today we are going back to 1988/1989 when McDonald's released a product called "Cheddar melt". It was only available then and for a short period of time in 2004. Then it was discontinued again.

What was it?

It was a beef quarterpounder with melted cheddar cheese sauce, topped with chunky onions that were grilled and doused in teriyaki sauce. All served in a round wheat/rye bun.

I gave it a twist by leaving out the bun and replacing it with two pan roasted slices of homemade bread (wheat/whole wheat/corn polenta and sprinkled with sesame and poppy seeds, last picture). Also, it became a double quarterpounder experience with me. Seasoned with salt and cracked black pepper.

It is a really delicious combination. Soft, gooey, salty. I can definitely see it enjoying somewhat of a cult following today. A true guilty pleasure.

A link in the comment's section shows one of the commercials for this product from back in the day.

Also a few pictures to illustrate things.

Have a good day, burger loving friends! 😉🍔
