MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 I had the 1/2 pound western bacon thickburger that they had a month or so back and it had a ton of bacon on it. It wasnt that bad. I dont like their fries though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 17, 2004 Down South on the way to Florida, I got a fried pork chop breakfast biscuit sandwich at Hardees and it was pretty good. Fried pork chop for breakfast??? Mother of God.... It was in Tennessee or Georgia, so that explains it. Of course, you're an Aussie, so that doesn't explain anything to you.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 17, 2004 The only thing that makes it look so much harder to eat than your average burger is the extra meat patty. Take that out, eat what's left and if you're hungry enough, I guarantee you that you could eat that patty. Doesn't insult its size to put it next to that banner either, or use that cunning camera angle. If I hadn't eaten that day and had lunch at around 2, I could probably down that, a side of fries and a cool beverage with room left for dinner later.

I'm a firm believer in a hearty breakfast. I don't see what's wrong with a pork chop to start your day. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than ending your day with it.

Guest Brian Report post Posted November 17, 2004 This made me almost go and get a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger today because the only Hardees that is near is in Bellingham. Is that the nearest? I could have sword there was one in SeaTac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 17, 2004 Hardees is the only fast food I'll eat, and then it's MAYBE once every two weeks. Shit's lethal, but goddamn is it greasy and good. Their breakfast menu, especially, which to complement the fried pork chop biscuit, has the "loaded omelette bowl" which is this friggin' plastic BOWL of greasy bacon, ham, scrambled eggs, cheese..all kinds of breakfast death. I make a similar thing myself at home sometimes. Their fries are better than McDonalds, sandwiches are better than anybody, fast food-wise, and they serve buckets of pop, more or less. I can get a large Hardees meal and eat it for two meals and a snack, it's beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 That doesn't look too good to me, but having just checked out the Carl Jr's site, the $6 burger looks awesome. (Though I like meat, I need my veggies on a burger, too.) I gotta say Rally's, for artery clogging goodness, was really good. Had one near me when I lived in New Orleans. Two Bacon Big Bufords for $2. Ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 Don't be a burger tease Rob, how was the monster? I should mention the scarlet tree burger at the scarlet tree cafe here in Seattle. At least 1/2 a pound patty, I am pretty sure more. It's a *big* patty more than a *thick* one. That's because it has a crapload of bacon, all the veggie fixins, to cheeses, and to top it off, 1.5 hotlinks (big ones) halved on top. I believe you can get it with their chili (which is excellent) on top as well. Best part? On like Tuesdays you could get two for $6. It was a monster.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 Wimpy's burgers are about the same as that, but twice as long. ALthough there is only one patty, I think you can get it to be two if you were really desperate to kill yourself early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As advertised on the pub's web site, a 96er sells for $23.95 and includes the following fixings and condiments: * Two whole tomatoes * A half-head of lettuce * 12 slices of American cheese * A full cup of peppers * Two entire onions * A river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard Denny's (not to be confused with the national chain restaurants of the same name) offers prizes for customers who can completely consume one of their big burgers within a designated time period: a T-shirt, certificate, and 50% discount for anyone who finishes a Challenger (2 lb. burger) within an hour; a T-shirt, certificate, and 100% discount for anyone who can polish off a Baby Boy (3 lb. burger) in 90 minutes or less; and something special for anyone who manages the unthinkable and puts away a whole 96er (6 lb. burger) in under three hours. (That "something special" has yet to be awarded, as no one has so far successfully accomplished the feat.) A 6 lb burger in 3 hours?

Special K 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 I could take the challenger, and could have taken the 3-pounder back in my sports-playing days, but fuck, that things the size of those guys' torsos! Is the beef even close to cooked through? It's probably much higher quality beef than the fast-food chains, too. 1/2 lb pre-cooked of McDonald's beef ain't shit. (It'll make you sick though.) 1/2 lb pre-cooked of lean ground beef is, I estimate, 50% more food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted December 1, 2004 I can't believe the amount of attention this fuckin' burger is receiving over there. People coming out and saying Hardee's shouldn't offer it or whatever. If you're fat and don't want to become fatter, then don't fucking walk into the store and order the burger. As for the people who "just can't resist", well they deserve to be fat and the rest of us who want to enjoy eating burgers the size of our own heads shouldn't have to work around their absurd lack of willpower and self control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would think those competitive eater contest people would be all over that. I got fucked over on a deal like this--Mexican place where if you finish their HUGE burrito, you get a free shirt and free desert and stuff. My friend and I skipped 5th and 6th period (back in high school obviously) on a Friday and attempted to eat it... I was halfway done, he was 1/3 of the way done when I realize I need to take a crap. When I return, he has a little bit left and mine is almost as big as when I started. He calls over the waitress, finishes and gets the shirt... then she asks me why I hardly touched mine. Whenever I see one of these challenges, it looks so easy but ends up being hard. Though the 2 pounder doesn't look too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
