"The O-M-Cheese Burger is, as Applebee's describes it, an all-beef burger topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon and spicy honey mustard served in a sizzling skillet of molten queso and a blend of Cheddar cheeses. The commercials show a burger cut in half and soaking in a pool of cheese sauce. Brad Jones, the Cinema Snob on Facebook, described it as a cheese Jacuzzi. Jones declared it a pretty good bacon cheeseburger."
"It packs 1,680 calories, including the fries; 109 grams of fat; and 40 grams of saturated fat, according to the nutrition calculator on Applebee's website. That's 140% of the daily recommendation for fat and 200% for saturated fat. Also, don't look for lettuce, tomato or any other nonstarchy vegetable on this plate. What you get is a good photo op and a tasty meal."
"It was delivered with a pile of extra napkins and the warning of a hot plate. The queso was bubbling when it arrived but hardened as it cooled, making it more like grilled cheese than a sauce. The O-M-Cheese Burger costs $11.99, but it can be ordered in a 2 for $25 combo, which includes one appetizer and two full-sized entrees. Other choices include an Oriental Chicken Salad, Fiesta Lime Chicken and an 8-ounce sirloin."
