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?

I 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.

The 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.

1500 calories and 79 grams of fat? I think I'll pass.

Yeah, 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.

The 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.

I'd eat it if they battered and deep fat fried it.

Unc, 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:

Not 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.

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.
