Cheddar Bomb, a Burger in a Pool of Cheese

Posted by Robyn Lee, September 25, 2008 at 10:15 AM

What's a cheddar bomb? According to Sal Darji, who ate one at J. Bo's Cafe in Bentonville, Arkansas, it's a 1/3 pound hamburger covered with a quarter to a half pound of cheese. "I’m not sure about the total amount of cheese, but it overflows the burger and covers an entire plate," says Darji. A burger in a pool of melted cheese? Oh, how my belly rumbles with lactose-loving glee.

With a bit of googling, I found a cheddar bomb at Buns N Beds in Cooke City, Montana, who serve it with 1/3 pound cheddar.

Where else can you get a cheddar bomb? Are they awesome?

The Squeeze Inn in Sacramento has something similar. It comes with a cheese "skirt" that surrounds the burger.

@wehotom: Oo, I read about that on Serious Eats before. I'd love to try it someday! The cheddar bomb, less so...

Cooke City = The Best After-Camping Breakfast Spot Known To Man.

Now I have a lunch to try (with a little help from my friends, no doubt) next time I am up there.
