Burger?[edit]

I don't understand what sets the patty melt apart from a hamburger or a cheese burger. Tanks, Maikel (talk) 10:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

it isn't that it is different from burgers, it is that it is a specific type of cheeseburger. Instead of a roll and processed cheese, it is usually served on rye toast with Swiss cheese. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 18:50, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and sauteed onions. 167.206.122.66 (talk) 23:11, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Important sandwich[edit]

The article, as it is now, says "It's usually.. bla bla bla while other places, especially the United States, it's this kind of cheese." Readers have a right to know when and where it originated.

It's a simple sandwich. One ground beef patty or two, with American or cheddar cheese and crispy butter-fried onions, all grilled on deli rye bread with caraway seeds in it.

According to Chowhound:

William "Tiny" Naylor is said to have originated the sandwich in his coffee shop in southern California after World War II. He opened the original Sunset and La Brea location, once a Los Angeles landmark, in 1949.

The inception of the cheese singles on the sandwich can be pinpointed to 1949, when Kraft made the wartime military food from a Swiss scientist commercially available. It was truly a novel product, and instantly made a classic American sandwich.

The Patty Melt came into being at Tiny Naylors the same year the landmark Toluca Lake location of Bob's Big Boy came into being, introducing the double decker with American cheese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.39.128 (talk) 19:28, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

creation[edit]

The Patty Melt was invented the first and only original was invented by my mother. We owned the "Red Rooster" in Mexia Texas. It was made with ONLY HAMBURGER MEAT"beef" Grilled Onions,cheese and only TEXAS TOAST. Any other variation isn't the original Patty Melt. 95% had the only condiment was miracle whip, not mayonnaise. Country folds in Texas did not eat mayonnaise they ate miracle whip only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.197.70.9 (talk • contribs)

This article is a mess[edit]

"The patty melt is a variant of the traditional American cheeseburger, taking the burger back to its sandwich inspired roots by serving it on sliced bread versus a bun.[1]" A hamburger is a sandwich. Louis' Lunch, one of the first burger restaurants serves hamburgers on sliced bread. All reports of the first hamburgers mention the ise of bread. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers are served quite commonly across the northeast on sliced bread. Therefore the patty melt cannot be taking the hhamburgerb ack to its sandwich inspired roots. It's just a cheeseburger with sliced bread instead of a bun. This article should be corrected and removed to the article for hamburgers, it is both incoherent and superfluous. 50.200.223.190 (talk) 20:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
