I like all Cheddars. And the taste/texture that add to burgers. I'm not
sure I've ever met anyone who prefers a plain burger over a chssesy one.

Didja get the flounder sandwich or the shrimp basket? I'm not a fan of
the flounder. Much prefer the chicken sandwich - which is the hands-
down winner in all comparo deals I have seen. Either the crispy or the
(newish) blackened.

My main problem with the C-PAP is getting untangled when it's time for

Hand form two burger patties from the chuck. Place the
cheese on top of a patty and cover with second patty.
Crimp edges together to form one nice sized hamburger
patty.
Cook on/in very hot griddle/skillet for 90 seconds on
first side, flip and cook on other side until melted
cheese begins to ooze from the meat. Season with salt
and pepper.
Place on toasted bun and top with whatever condiments
you desire.
