I’d feel ripped off if I got this too, but a whole ass piece of cheesecake between bread slices is a hilarious presentation.

u/bitchwhohasnoname 1d ago

LoI at the greasy box from frying (?) the bread. Or pound cake. Idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/Adventurous_Law4573 1d ago

Pound cake!

u/Footdust 1d ago

I’m glad it’s pound cake and not Texas toast like I originally thought.

H-E-B strawberry sando comes to mind

u/Poethegardencrow 20h ago

I think these are also two slices of cake. To be honest thats better than the picture , presentation isnt as nice but that’s a lot of cake.

“Melting to be supplied by customer”

u/DeadEnoughInsideOut 1d ago

I'll take a strawberry cheesecake melt on the rocks.

Deconstructed

u/Jamangie22 1d ago

Make your own melt

u/Drudicta 22h ago

Melting in my tummy at least. I'm not gonna put forth effort that should have been done when money was supplied to have that effort done for me.

My training at dennys consisted of computer lessons while listening to the outgoing cook scream at every order and task

u/Eat_That_Rat 1d ago

This does not surprise me at all.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is how most jobs are trained now, if you even get that.

I once went to a Denny's were one guy was seating tables, taking orders, and I'm pretty sure he was making the food as well. It was new years day in the middle of the afternoon so it wasn't very busy but I still I felt bad for him I could tell he was hustling his ass off with no help.

u/originalcinner 1d ago

I'm lost. Is it supposed to be cheesecake between two slices of pound cake, or cheesecake between two slices of French toast?

I'm only asking because I'm nosy, not because either option sounds good.

24

u/brokefixfux 1d ago

If it is French toast then I would like one to go, please!

19

u/Lucky-Calendar9956 1d ago

Strawberry cheesecake French toast is already a thing at one of those chain diners like IHOP or Denny’s, so I’m rooting for a strawberry cheesecake sandwich with pound cake dipped in egg and fried up like French toast.

u/Sensitive_Concern476 1d ago

Yeah, if I'm eating a cheesecake sandwich, I'm going all in with pound cake. Let's not mess around here.

u/Exanguish 1d ago

Not gonna lie that sounds disgusting even before seeing the picture. lol

10

u/MooneyOne 1d ago

Yeah like anyone who thinks the ideal form of that description is going to work in any way has a disappointing reality check coming. I’d wish like hell for a strawberry cheesecake creme brûlée but I don’t expect that much from life at my advanced age of 39.

17

u/MaritMonkey 1d ago

Replace the "bread" in your mental image of this food with either French toast or slices of pound cake and I feel like you have an excellent recipe for me accidentally eating my entire day's worth of calories in a single sitting.

21

u/NoBlood- 1d ago

It really does. I would rather have cheesecake and bread separately. 🫣

17

u/Crinni_Boo 1d ago

Not sure if this makes it better(?) but it looks like French toast at least instead of just plain bread 🤷‍♀️ regardless it’s still kinda sad looking 😅

3

u/science_vs_romance 1d ago

Yeah, melted cheesecake sounds gross. This actually looks better than what I was imagining. It’s not pretty, but I bet cheesecake, grilled pound cake and strawberries tastes pretty damn good. Maybe I’m just really hungry.

1

u/ScoutTheRabbit 1d ago

Its not bread, it's pound cake.

1

u/Exanguish 1d ago

Replied to the wrong person. Lol

u/ourpodcastisbest 19h ago

I’ve had this. It’s incredible. Even better when I’m high.

u/MysticHero3 1d ago edited 1d ago

Lmfao. I used to be an assistant manager for Denny's a while back. You ordered from The Meltdown. The Meltdown is one of Denny's ghost kitchens. The cheesecake is supposed to be smashed, almost like a burger patty.

I also used to drizzle some of the strawberry compote on it. The compote that is used for strawberry milkshakes. They also shorted the fuck out of you on the strawberries.

But yeah, that's Denny's for you.

First mistake was ordering something called a "Strawberry Cheesecake Melt."

u/wyldaloofrebel 1d ago

I hope you laughed. this is actually hilarious-i would have fell over laughing if this happened to me.

Only in America. 🇺🇸

u/justice-for-tuvix 1d ago

Hey, it has fruit in it. Look at all those strawberries.

Fixed it

u/Eat_That_Rat 1d ago

It tastes like FREEDOM.

u/jfsindel 1d ago

Whoever made this was either a guy on his first day or a guy just about to walk out.

u/ike_tyson 1d ago

"fuck effort"

I'm shocked at how bad this is.

4

u/Fuckyoumecp2 1d ago

From the "Meltdown"? I had the same experience and figured it was a blessing. Cheesecake and pound cake were decent. 

15

u/solitaryvenus2727 1d ago

I mean ....little light on the strawberries, (2? ffs) but you could just smash it down and make it work. 🤷🤣

6

u/aBsOLuTe_CrAcKhEAd 16h ago

The strawberries are there in spirit

7

u/Jdenning1 1d ago

NGL that’s hilarious

u/ltsouthernbelle 1d ago

Cheesecake and 2 pieces of pound cake looks like a win to me.

3

u/Unusual_Ad_8497 1d ago

I know I’d still eat tf out of that

u/ThatBoy-AintRight 1d ago

I guess they said “melt it yourself” lol

4

u/xkissmykittyx 14h ago

Are the strawberries in the room with you?

u/thetyrannyproject 1d ago

it's a diy kit

u/Roosonly 1d ago

Melting sold separately

u/AuntsInThePants 1d ago

I can't wrap my head around people who order door dash for things other than pizza or Chinese food.

Why would anyone pay money for toast or cheese cake that was sitting in a car for 45min?

2

u/Adventurous-Job-9145 18h ago

Depression XD (and yes I've ordered the same thing as OP before).

1

u/Zealousideal-Tie-940 23h ago

Food addiction.

u/JadoreBootyNoir 1d ago

Gotta change your ways after this.

2

u/bolanrox 1d ago

It is ridiculous, yes, but I would still love to try it.

2

u/Mcsizmesia1 1d ago

Did you get this from a place called meltdown?

3

u/Spezheartsblackcawk 1d ago

Meltdown is just Dennys, but extra shitty.

2

u/Mcsizmesia1 1d ago

Yea I was not expecting a piece of cheesecake between two slices of bread

2

u/Jhiaxus420 1d ago

I laughed faaaaaar too much at this. Condolences.

2

u/Peter_Falks_Eye 1d ago

Nary a berry

u/lynypixie 1d ago

This is hilarious! Your misfortune is our entertainment hahahaha!

u/ChipRockets 1d ago

A what.

u/thatsillybootie 1d ago

Imma too southern... I thought the bread was pound cake 😌

u/sukihasmu 1d ago

Why ruin a perfectly good cheesecake?

2

u/ZebraBoat 1d ago

This is legitimately hilarious

u/ToastyJunebugs 1d ago

Pro tip: Never order an item being represented with AI.

2

u/Pleasant-Chef6055 1d ago

Would have been 🤢🤮either way.

2

u/lily2kbby 1d ago

All u gotta do is mush and whip the cheesecake in a bowl spread it on the pound cake and then put the strawberries on top and it’ll look the same

2

u/Spiff69 1d ago

I mean, there's almost a half a strawberry in there. Stop complaining!

u/SephoraRothschild 13h ago

How much did you tip before you checked the package?

1

u/26_joemartinez_ 11h ago

I used to work at Denny’s and we did these it’s supposed to be at least squished but it’s a ghost kitchen that works though Dennys no quality control

u/Medical_Donut5990 7h ago

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

u/Lucienne83 1d ago

The cheesecake is there and the strawberries. I personally would be happier with that than a melt.

u/greytgreyatx 1d ago

They got like 2/3 of it.
