Fast-food chain Burger King has added a new treat to its arsenal.

Behold: the Extra Long Buttery Cheeseburger. It features two patties covered in a buttery garlic sauce and is served on a toasted hoagie bun. There are veggies on it too, for you health nuts who may be worried the extra long buttery cheeseburger isn’t for you.

Mashable reported that Burger King began rolling out the new burger on Monday. The item will reportedly be featured on the restaurant’s 2 for $5 menu.

According to Burger King’s website, the sandwich contains 710 calories.

So to all those Burger King customers who longed for an elongated, extra-buttery burger, at least, you can “Have it Your Way.”

"...colored peppers..."

I think the proper term is "black", not colored.

yup, that be it!!

The first time (and it was relatively recently - last 6 months or so) I did this when the daughter came over for dinner, she and my wife took 1 bite, stopped and asked what I had done to make it taste so incredible.

LOL. I didnt want to tell them that I learned it from watching a 9 year old home cook on an episode of Master Chef Junior.

I admit, I have not had steak in over a year. It’s not in my budget.

"OK, I just got it"

I'm sorry - for some reason I had just thought of that line from Caddyshack when I read your post.

A daily customer and unofficial mascot for the Heart Attack Grill, a Las Vegas diner infamous for its calorie-laden menu and waitresses in nurse garb, has died of an apparent heart attack, the latest in a string of incidents that evoke the restaurant’s ominous name.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, 52-year-old John Alleman died Monday after collapsing last week as he waited at a bus stop in front of the Fremont Street restaurant.

Although he was never on the payroll, Alleman had been a faithful patron since the restaurant opened in October 2011, owner Jon Basso told the paper. He inspired a “Patient John” caricature on the Heart Attack Grill’s menu, clothing line and merchandise.

Alleman is the Heart Attack Grill’s second unofficial spokesman to die. In March 2011, 575-pound Blair River — known as the Grill’s “Gentle Giant” — died of flu-related pneumonia.

In February 2012, a man was hospitalized with an apparent heart problem after chowing down a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass Burger. Two months later, a woman suffered from a similar medical problem while reportedly eating a Double Bypass Burger.

The eatery’s slogan is “a burger to die for.” It gives free meals to people who weigh more than 350 pounds, and a sign reads “Caution: This establishment is bad for your health,” notes the Associated Press.

The 8,000-calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger, with four half-pound beef patties, eight slices of American cheese, a whole tomato and half an onion served in a lard-coated bun, has been called one of the “world’s worst junk foods.” Other menu items include butterfat milkshakes and “flatliner fries” cooked in lard.

After the first incident, the AP reports, the Washington, D.C.-based Officials for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine said they sent a letter to the Heart Attack Grill’s owner, asking him to “declare moral bankruptcy” and close the restaurant.

Although Basso told the Sun that Alleman’s death was a “wake-up call,” he said it won’t stop him from touting such calorific foods.

“The grill is where you can be yourself. We accept people as they are,” Basso told the paper. “(Alleman’s death) isn’t going to stop us from what we’re doing. People have got to live their lives.”

Yeah, interesting dead space there between the patties, why not just use two round buns.

From your post 68

The Heart Attack Grill opened in October 2011.

Their first unofficial spokesman died in March 2011

Are UFOs and Area 51 involved?
