All Hail The Beef

I couldn't believe it when I saw this on the news. Hardees is rolling out a glutton's dream. Their new "Monster Burger" is 2/3 lb. of angus beef ( two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of American cheese and some mayonnaise -- all on a buttered, toasted, sesame seed bun.) Here's all the stats on this burger:

Calories: 1301.49

Remember the "Where's the Beef?" Wendy's commercials? You certainly don't have to worry about where the beef is on this burger. It's about 4 burgers in one!
That's just absolutely amazing. It makes me think of that Monty Python movie (can't think of which one it is) where the totally obese guy eats and eats and eats and then eventually explodes. It's practically a whole day's worth of calories. I don't know why but for some reason I'm intrigued by this jumbo burger and feel like I need to see if I can eat it. Maybe I'll give it a whirl. I think I'll wait until after Thanksgiving. I'm trying to shed some lbs.
