The sandwich pictured above is the “Monster Thickburger” being introduced by the hamburger chain Hardee’s. Its ingredients are:
All this makes for a sandwich that has 1420 calories and 107 grams
of fat. For the typically recommended 2000-calorie diet, the maximum
recommended total fat is 65 grams, and only 20 of those can be
saturated fat.
On the other end of the scale, a Hardees spokesperson says that they
will soon introduce a barbecue chicken sandwich that has only 300
calories and 4 grams of fat.

I feel the nausea rising just looking at that photo. Do people really eat those things?
Thickburgers are by far the best hamburgers available.
The "Monster Thickburger" is a tad bit much, though.

Reminds me of my friend who used to order the "Heart-Attack Special" at Wendy's. It was a triple burger, triple cheese, triple bacon, hold the veggies. Tasty, but you could feel your arteries slamming shut as you ate it.
He's since gotten a bit healthier. He only eats doubles, and gets the veggies now.
what's a hanburger? is that a korean version of a hamburger? :p
"buttered"? Buttered?!!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!
oh
god
Hah! The typo has been fixed.
(COme to think of it, a bulgogi burger would be pretty cool...)
There are days when I could really use one of those. [When I'm eating a dinner that's going to be the majority of my calories for the day, after some hard exercise, for instance.]
Oh pshaw! That's nothing. What you need is the Skookum Chief Hamburger at the Tomahawk Restaurant in North Van.
Now THAT'S a hamburger. For those of you who can't make it out from the photo, This hamburgers has, as condiments, the usual lettuce, cheese, bacon, pickles, blah, blah, blah PLUS a fried egg AND two weiners.
Hot dogs as dressing on a hamburger! That, my friends, is genius.
Tomahawk Restaurant
I thought that the original burger was gross but then someone went ahead and mentioned the Tomahawk "Restaurant." Now I really am going to be sick. That's the nastiest, nasty ass place in Vancouver.
The thing that's somewhat intriguing here is the mention of the relatively low-cal chicken sandwich while rolling out this monster. Now, Hardee's could do a really neat ad campaign using both of these sandwiches, sort of a nod to the fact that a lot of the fast food is unhealthy. If they were to be really up front with how bad this Giganto-Burger could be, then hey, Caveat Emptor - We also have this chicken sandwich too. We recommend the chicken, but what the hell, every once in a while have some fun and pretend you're Caligula...
"Bring me the giant cheeseburger, it amuses me..."
All that being said, a single layer version of that thing might be awesome drunk-food, rolling in at the end of a night that you're gonna feel guilty about anyway...
