Deep-fried cheeseburgers

It has come to my attention that there is a restaurant in Memphis that serves deep-fried cheeseburgers, fried in the same grease they claim to have had since 1907. They "strain it on a daily basis" so technically it isn't the same grease since 1907. But hey, let them have their fun.

The hamburgers are dropped into the bubbly-hot grease for a bit, then they add cheese and dunk the burgers back in. Then they put the buns on the top with the grease dripping down the sides and all over the buns. I have to tell you, as gross as it sounds, I am very tempted to drive down to Memphis to try it out!
This got me wondering, what kind of food would you like to try deep fried?

Having tried deep-fried candy bars, Twinkies and the like, I can say for me, it's too much. I like a good cheeseburger as much as anyone who isn't a sixth-level vegan, but deep-fried? Why?
