Truly! According to Wiki *this* is a Patty Melt (and it's what I
remember from diners):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_melt

"A patty melt is a type of hamburger consisting of a hamburger patty and
Cheddar or Swiss cheese between two slices of bread (traditionally rye,
though sourdough is sometimes substituted). In some places, especially
in the U.S., a patty melt can consist of only the patty of a hamburger,
with cheese, on a single piece of toast/bun."

So, it's basically a thick grilled cheeseburger on rye.
