Why? It's just another form of advertising.

I hope it backfires and the company goes out of business for being so stupid.

Bacon-to-cheese ratio way too low - the weight of bacon should be at least twice that of the cheese (Swiss is good, Jarlsberg even better). And take off all the stupid salad crap...if you want a salad with your burger, it goes on the side, not between the buns! Only one vegetable is worthy to be on a great burger: broiled Portobello mushrooms. Yum!

"...that amount of beef and vegetables could probably feed a village somewhere in this world."

And how is it going to get there?

When I was young, the saying was, "Eat your broccoli, eat your beets; don't you know that there are starving kids in India?"

My response to that was, "Well, if you get me a box, I'll ship it to them."

Now, if the restaurant had gone to some little village and taken all of their beef and vegetables to make this, then you'd have a point. But, since it wasn't theirs in the first place and the ingredients belonged to the restaurant, what right did the people of your hypothetical little village have to it?

Look closely at at all the vegetables on top. It looks they used teriyaki sticks to hold them. See where the sticks go into the top of the patty?

Take your crap over to DU. You’ll be right at home.

You lose! LOL!

I'm sure you're a real treat at your church when it comes to asking for volunteers to help with the soup kitchens or to assist in providing shelter at your church and transportation for those homeless looking for jobs.........I can just imagine your response to that.

Yea, I love your humanitarian attitude...........You're the classic conservative posterboy that Democrats love to flaunt when they lay claim that only they have empathy and compassion for the downtrodden.

I tried that once, when I was a kid....I don't remember anything right after that.

You're not much of a conservative at all, are you? You want to be one of those "compassionate conservatives" like Bush? Good luck, it only makes you look like a tool for the left.

Useful idiot is too kind a term for the likes of you.

I agree, this is their money and their property. The way I look at this is that I am very happy we live in a country that has people that can do something to excess if they want to.

I like fast cars and own several. I like big houses and own several. I like fast boats. I like hot women. I like a good drink sometimes. I like to laugh and have fun. I work hard and pLay hard. Others prefer to sit on their asses. Not me, I’m a capitalist. The riches this country offers are boundless and limitless. That has allowed me to enrich the people around me too.

I applaud the big burger maker. We need them in the White House. What has happened in the republic the last few years has been sickening. Some Americans have forgotten that we can do what we can dream. Anything is possible. We just need to start thinking big again like the people that made this burger.

Looks overdone

I've heard you say that about meat that wasn't even done dying yet.
