This is sick......

Who the fuck eats those?

If my bellay was big enough, I probably would. I don't make it a point to eat greasy foods every day, but I could give two shits about dieting.

Over here we have a restaurant called the Dixie Grill, and they have a "Bust Yo Belly" Burger challenge. Basically the slab of beef is ONE POUND, with the buns and burger fixins'. If you finish the whole thing within a set period of time, you not only get your entire meal on the house, but you get prizes too.

There's a steakhouse in Amarillo called the Big Texan that serves up a 72-ounce top sirloin steak. If you can eat it all in one hour, it's free.

I'm not into dieting either....but damn.......that is a lot of cow......

True. I was at a steakhouse and I once ate an 18 oz. ribeye (plus the veggies!) by myself. :eek: I'm not the tiniest person out there, but I was surprised I could fit that much cow into my system!

Haha, well I've been known to put away massive amounts of food during a certian time of the month;)

You could always have a 20x20 instead.

The 20x20 thing may have just made me never want a cheeseburger again.. and I LOVE my cheeseburgers.

There was a time I would've eaten the Hardees one (without mayo though).. maybe when I was pregnant! There three restaurants, two called Wheat & Rye and the Allen Park Bar (all the same owners) who make 1 lb. hamburgers, BLTs with 1 lb. bacon, etc. and it's always packed! There are people who eat that much, although most take half of it home.

Then there is the infamous Tony's near Birch Run/Frankenmuth in Michigan. Breakfast is a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon, etc. HUGE quantities there. I ordered their nachos once and I swear they put a whole bag of chips on the plate. There was enough food on my plate to last a week! Insanity.. but always so popular you have to wait for a seat, especially during hunting season when the big burly men are heading up north for their male bonding time.

that's nothing - a slice of carrot cake from the cheesecake factory has over 6000 calories . . . which is freaking retarded

That's like gaining 2lbs.

we should call this "the how to have a heart attack by 25" thread.
GROSS!!!!!!!!!

Thats an understatement. ;)

I've seen how much this girl can eat and she's not kidding! ;)

Embarrassing admission: one of my family's nicknames for me is "The Camel" because I eat so much food that they are convinced I must have a hump somewhere on my body to store it all. :o I keep telling them I just like to eat!

:eek: :eek: :eek:

20.20 is D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G.

Hardees is ewwwwww!

I'm absolutely appalled.

Mmmm . . . hamburger.


But yeah, to be honest, 1420 isn't all that much for eating out. You can get 3000 easily in one meal at an Italian restaurant and not know it. If you're not calorie-concerned, you're probably underestimating the numbers you take in when you eat out.


I think Hardee's is on the money here with the whole "We'll offer greasier stuff while everybody else offers healthier stuff" trend. The majority of Americans don't want HEALTHY food, at least not all of the time, and if they do, they don't go to fast food places to get it.

plus it's carrot cake, which is disgusting anyway

Mr ISUKappa ate the 40oz (that's 2.5 lbs!) Steak Lover's Challenge steak at a grill-your-own steak place this summer. And he ate it (and salad and potato and garlic toast and beers) in under an hour and got a free t-shirt. Granted, he also felt like ass and couldn't eat for two days, but he did it.

At Rube's steakhouse they have a 54oz steak challenge.

I'd probably eat that hamburger.

The commercials for Hardee's are stupid too.

Like that girl riding the bull eating that giant hamburger.

1. That girl does not eat hamburgers like that.
2. She is demostrating that you have to workout while eating it so you don't die.

Or the one with the pregnant woman eating one. That's enough to give you and your kid heart disease.

I hate Hardee's they used to be good but now they suck. I can't believe they even thought about taking away the cinnamon rasin biscuits.

Let's change this to a I hate Hardee's thread.

That filet I had at Tavern on Rush was only a 12 oz.er dammit! But boy was it gooooood!

that made me think of the old 96er from The Great Outdoors.

Which Rube's? The original in Montour? Or down in Waukee?

Montour

When my parents lived in Grinnell I ate there a few times.

I don't see what the uproar is - if Hardees wants to market this burger, that's their right. It's ultimately up to each person whether or not they want to indulge or not.

I will say that's a solid amount of beef, and it's a solid strategy on Hardees part. That burger will be a big seller, at least at first.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

that's disgusting.

if you think about it though, that's only 2/3 lb. of meat (not including the extras).

Fuddrucker's has a 1 lb. burger (not including toppings like bacon... but I'm sure they can add that).

Of course Fuddrucker's doesn't have commercials promoting it either :p

Not only that, but most "healthy" food options from fast food restaurants aren't as healthy as they want us to think they are.

Although it is pretty funny to see someone walking out of the McDonald's line with a salad in one hand and a bunch of packets of ranch or bleu cheese dressing in the other.

"I'll have the 2lb burger, supersized fries, oh...and a Diet Coke."

I can eat a whole medium pizza (depending on the pizza place) and I'm not big at all. Not embarrassed, lol.

I actually get this. If you're going to pack all that beef and grease into you, why top it off with a ton of sugar too? At least you'll be sparing yourself those calories. LOL! It makes sense, in a weird way.

ETA: Any burger that has two patties (double meat) freaks me out. It sounds crazy, but I'd rather see the two patties as one. Then it might not look so horrible.

Agreed. Fast food places don't have a duty to offer healthy food. If you think it's gross or unhealthy, don't eat it. I haven't had a fast food burger in over 10 years. ;)

I don't care what fast food places have and I still eat there, but damn that is like NASTY. I'd rather eat a 72oz steak that might have a bazillion calories than a nasty burger from Hardee's.

When I was in NYC last year we ate at Roxy's in Times Square. The only person in our group who finished his food was the skinnest kid. Then he started eating mine. I hated that place. I paid $22 for a sandwich that I didn't even eat 1/4 of. If I wanted a pound of lunch meat I would have went to the grocery store. I did not want to eat there at all.

You're cute.

Don't eat in Times Square. The next time that you visit NYC, post a thread in Chit Chat, and all of the GC New Yorkers will tell where to eat.

My thing is I think diet tastes better than regular. I just don't like the sweeter taste of real coke so I would order this if I was wanting to splurge on a big huge burger. :)

Oh, no! I'm not embarassed because of my size--I think all of the GCers who have met me will testify to the fact that I'm small--I just don't think that being called a camel is particularly flattering! ;)

I love how everyone just assumes that those people who drink diet coke or diet pepsi or diet anything are actually on a diet.

I drink diet coke because I like the way it tastes-not because I'm trying to save on calories. I drink regular pepsi because I prefer it to diet pepsi. I drink diet mountain dew but regular dr. pepper. Its all about taste-not dieting.

I'm actually the same way...the only time I like regular coke better is when it's mixed with Jack.

I can only drink full flavored sodas with alcohol too. I do enjoy dr. pepper full flavored though and root beer.
