How about a burger that replaces the bun with two grilled cheese sandwiches?
Isn't this the kind of stuff we'd make the weird kids eat in the cafeteria on dares?

Posted: 6/24/10 at 1:53pmI heard about this, but I can't remember where. Maybe Leno was talking about it last night? So gross.

See, my first reaction is that it's really not that much worse than a cheeseburger.
ETA - Okay, I looked at the fat and calorie count and yeah, this is out of control!

It's worse in that it's four pieces of bread instead of two (or three in a Big Mac, I think). But more important it's grilled: which probably means slathered in fat.
And that's before you get to the meat and cheese.
#5You thought KFC's double down was bad?
Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:02pmThe thing is, it probably doesn't TASTE that different from a cheeseburger. They just made something that already should be a rare indulgence many, many times worse.

Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:06pm1500 calories and 79 grams of fat? I think I'll pass.

Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:06pmYeah, the 4 pieces of bread and the fact that grilled cheese sandwiches are slathered in butter before they are grilled. Now I want a grilled cheese.
#8You thought KFC's double down was bad?
Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:09pmThe fat and calories are definitely nuts but my first thought was, 'Meh, I have seen meals on Man vs. Food that look more threatening.' Which is a sobering thought now.
#10You thought KFC's double down was bad?
Posted: 6/24/10 at 2:20pmI'd eat it if they battered and deep fat fried it.

Damn you people! Friendly's is next door to my dry cleaners, where I have to stop on my way home from work.

Posted: 6/24/10 at 5:34pmUnc, do you eat it with your hands, or a fork and knife? Since there's no bread, I mean.

Honestly Piper, that sounds delicious. If I had a friend or two, I would so take that opportunity, teaming up with them of course.
Cuz I would have to have gone on a hunger strike prior for me to stomach this:

Posted: 6/25/10 at 1:58pmNot only is that weird, it looks like its a lot to eat. I usually order grilled cheeses, I could never eat two AND a burger in it!

Stockard, it actually comes in a pouch-like bag so you can eat it while it sits in that. Although you have to use your hands near the end. I have only had 2 of them. They won't be something I will eat a lot of but I can see it being like a guilty pleasure/treat every once in a while.

Posted: 6/25/10 at 7:25pmOK, Gotcha! You know what this thread is making me remember? Scotch Eggs!
#22You thought KFC's double down was bad?

What are scotch eggs?
Edit: I did search. I can't do hard boiled eggs but, wow!

I saw the poster for this last week. It looks (to me) pretty heart attack inducing.
1500 calories? Yowza....and they probably serve it with fries and a happy ending dessert. All your calories for the day in one meal. And America wonders WHY we are so overweight.
