Lisa Johnson Fitness » This is Why You’re Fat: Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt

The lovely meal consists of fried cheese sticks set within a grilled cheese sandwich.  Layers of cheese and oils.  One upon the other.  It comes with marinara sauce on the side (willing to bet that’s loaded with sugar) and, of course, fries.   The plate tops out at 1,260 calories!  It debuts Tuesday at Denny’s everywhere.
