The 1,420 calorie burger - Mm mm good

They had some Brit roving reporter on CNN trying to choke one down. The tw!t only got 2/3 of the way through. 1,400 calories is a feast, but i'm up to the challenge. Now how come there are no Hardee's in NJ? In the land of taylor ham & egg sandwiches for breakfast, fries with cheese & gravy, Texas weiners and diners on every other corner, these things would sell like hot cakes.

 

When Michael Moore sits down for lunch does he order 2 or 3 of these things?

 

id go get one but with all the erototoxins in my body i cant be bothered to get out of the house.

 

That's pretty good looking burger, almost as good as the "Hungry mutha special" we used to get at the Oar House in Santa Monica, on a 10 inch bun!

But WTF does this mean....

They made it out of bark chips....???

 

Well, that burger has rocketed by the "Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger" at Jack in the Box which checks in at a mere 1045 calories....


(EDIT: after looking at it on MSNBC, that actually looks just like a "Bacon Ultimate". Are JitB and Hardees owned by the same company?)

 

Eating a Hardee's meal is like competing for the Darwin Awards, only more drawn out.

 

I can tell you one thing: the words "crazy jarhead" will never come out of my mouth.

 

It looks revolting and you'd have to pay me to even try to eat one, but one has to give full kudos to a company that sticks to its gameplan in this manner. I loathe the empty pretence behind the "healthy options" guff that McDonalds and the other swill merchants try to sell you. They and all their type are purveyors of nutrition-voids, of chaotically flavoured, greasy, horrible pap and that is not going to change just because the pap in question is now green and comes with a sliver of the cheapest Parmesan-like "cheese" substance known to mankind and one tired, overly salty olive.

I realise it's just a clever bit of marketing positioning (including the carefully crafted treehugger quote), but nonetheless - thumbs up to the last honest shit-in-a-box merchant in town.

 

A brit telling us our food looks revolting

 

I found a Hardees within an hour drive of me.. there used to a bunch by me but they closed in the early nineties.Looks like I gotta take a drive to try this sucker just once (ill probably have a heart attack after it)

 

We don't have Hardee's in Colorado. We have Carl's Junior.

 

Carl's jr. is amazingly classy compared to HArdees.

 

Har dee har har. Easy with that knee - you might hurt yourself, Tank.

Would it help if I got an American to tell you that a greasy slab of mechanically-recovered abattoir waste* in an arrowroot bun is "revolting"? I mean, I wouldn't want to raise your nationalist ire or anything.

Here - have one of these to make the (American-style burger induced?) bile settle --> . Take one every four hours until the gaseous nausea settles.

*Oh - but thank you for that culinary piece of genius. Please do continue to use that as your sole basis for pretending the rest of the gastronomic world owes you a living. No - honestly, we're not crying with laughter, we've just got a spittle of fat in our eyes.

 

I still prefer to kill myself with huge amounts of homemade lasagne.
Even better if they've been made by my aunt from romagna.

 

Pictures, rhymes ... that post had everything!

 

Hardees is a red-state operation then?

(Not like I would ever have McDs or BK or any of their ilk unless I'm really really hammered.)

 

Well something on both of the sister chains' Web sites that supposedly absolves them of guilt at offering such unhealthy fare are the handy "nutrition calculators."

If you eat at Hardees click here, and if you're further out West like me and eat at Carl's Jr., click here.

I appreciate the fact that I'm choking down more than 1300 calories when I nosh on a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger combo at Carl's.

 

Of course, that picture bears absolutely zero resemblance to the piece of crap you'll actually get served if you ever do order one. It'll be some squashed soggy bread, flat rounded bacon molds, tasteless processed cheese, and gobs of warm mayonaise. Still, it WILL have 2/3 lb of meat, I suppose...


Anyway, if I'm going to kill myself with food, I'm with sardu. It ain't going to be from eating this crap.

What's the calorie comparison to a nice Southern Fried Steak? A huge plate of Chicken Alfredo? A Grand Slam breakfast at Dennys?

 

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. Which of their competitors is promoting a "healthy" product? A McDonald's salad w/ dressing that has just as many calories as a burger doesn't count.

Tell you what: you guys enjoy these burgers, and I'll enjoy being thin, fit, good-looking, and able to walk up a flight of stairs without wheezing.
