How much Chipotle is too much?
« Reply #15 on: December 07, 2004, 09:08:13 pm »
Here's something tasty for you:

In 10 NFL cities, players will work the fast-food chain's drive-through windows. The Hardee's/NFL featured item is the "Monster Thickburger." It's a 1,420-calorie Tidal Wave of Oozing Gooey Fat That Will Gum Up Your Heart But Good. It's two one-third pound slabs of fatty meat between three pieces of cheese and four strips of slithery bacon slathered over with a slimy glob of mayonnaise under buttered sesame seed buns the size of cow patties. Add fries and a soft drink, it's 2,340 calories for $7.09.

Come on, if you're talking about that Thing, you need to provide a link with a photo.  It's completely grotesque.

Why not?  Are you having trouble believing that many people can finish it or that many people can't finish it?

It's nothing but their Double Thickburger with some bacon slapped on it.  I've eaten several Double Thickburgers sans bacon, I can't imagine the bacon would change the experience much.

I'm surprised that, on an ostensibly neutral site, all but a statistically insignificant portion of the 77,000 respondants had tried it. I voted 'No way' along with 0% of the other voters.

I guess it's possible that all the people who would not have tried it just decided the hell with it.

But were the buns buttered? WERE THEY?

I haven't even seen a Hardee's in over a decade, let alone eaten at one. Didn't they all turn into Roy Roger's?

Around here it was the other way around - Roy Rogers became Hardees and then they promptly went out of business.

There are a lot of Hardees in the Baltimore area.  I have no idea why.

And those poll results aren't exactly accurate - or if they are then the "No fuck*ng way" votes don't add up to a full percentage point, which is really kinda scary.

I must say, though, it does look delicious.  The only thing keeping me from ordering one is a lack of availability.

"Probably no nutritionist ever imagined that a product like this would be marketed."

It's not like I've never made myself a sandwich that evil. Jeez.

I'd have to say that the meatlovers pizzas with the extra cheese and pepperoni in the crust that Pizza Hut used to sell was worse.

Wow.
Okay, first off, I love Chipotle; not as much as my beloved Qdoba, but enough to where I got really, really excited to see one opening up across the street from my dorm. In fact, I'm probably going to apply for a job there; if you go to their website, they actually have a kickass packet of benefits. Probably the best of the breed are unlimited burritos during working hours, flex-time, and 2 weeks paid vacation (based on weekly salary average) after THREE MONTHS. Shit yeah, friend.
