The Double Bypass Burger

Our pal Jason Bryan submitted this tasty item to us:

I don't know if anyone else out there is watching Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel, but it has become my new favorite show. Thirty minutes of pure visual television gluttony about my favorite deadly sin...gluttony. Last night I watched the Atlanta episode. They went to a place called the Vortex where they have hands-down the best burger I've ever seen. Unfortunately, until I get myself to Atlanta and to this restaurant, seeing and dreaming about it is as good as it's going to get. I thought they had me at the fried egg, four slices of cheese, and the 5 slices of bacon, but when they topped it off with two grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns – it was like the ultimate icing on the ultimate cake. I started foaming at the mouth, my stomach started rumbling, I woke up three times in the middle of the night with this on my mind. No doubt I'm going to make my own version of this before the week is up. Two grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns! Anyone know a good surgeon?
