Hardee's 1,420-calorie burger

ST. LOUIS - As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee’s is serving up a hamburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.

St. Louis-based Hardee’s Food Systems Inc. on Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun.

That's awesome...glad one chain is keeping the artery-cloggers on the market.

For liberals...this would something good to advocate for on the "population control" side of things. :o)

In all seriousness though, has anyone ever had a thickburger? I have quite an appetite, and I can't finish one!

I don't think we have Hardee's out here, at least I can't think of where one is.

If I ever happen to find one though, I'm ordering this thing. I don't think I could finish it though.

I wonder how it compares to the Wendy's Triple..

The sandwich alone sells for $5.49 or $7.09 with a medium fries (520 calories) and soda (about 400 calories).

In some parts of the country, Hardee's is called "Carl's Jr." They have generally the same menu.
