Hardee's Monster Burger Creates Uproar (pics)

A Monster Thickburger bought by a reporter Monday at a St. Louis Hardee's was presented appealingly enough, wrapped neatly in light paper and standing a whopping 2 1/2 inches tall inside a box. But the double-pattied behemoth, bought as part of combo with French fries and a drink, stretched the mouth and stomach, too much for the reporter to absorb in one sitting.

Impressive that you remembered Buttermilk. : ) But just remember it was the '50's and 60's . . . the FCC may not have let us see just how much Dale enjoyed "the ride". LOL

I love Whataburger!. We had a couple where I grew up in Mobile, AL.

BLECH!! I've eaten cardboard that had more flavor and juice to it than those bloody things.

Bwahahahahaha!!!! They do seem to have that effect on people. But my Daddy took me there when I was just a wee lad and I've loved them ever since. They were a quarter then. He told us how when he was a boy in the depression they opened and sold for a nickel so everyone could afford to eat there. I love'em.

not really, it was a semi-run down diner.
They had these great burgers that were hand pattied and grilled fresh. It was really a hole in the wall but you'd be surprised at the "famous" people you might run into there.

"They're really good. Eat one, and you don't have to worry about another."

Because you shortly thereafter die of a massive coronary.

You used the past tense. Is it gone? If not, where is it?

We have Krystals here in GA. We call em "gut bombs". But them gut bombs sure are good. Like the ad says: "When you gotta have a Krystal...you gotta have a Krystal."

I'd rather eat 40 White Castle burgers. That's what I wish we had here in Texas.

Just head to the nearest Krystal. They have them in Beaumont and in Carrollton, so there should be one within 800 miles of you wherever you are in Texas.

I loved the Huskee Burgers. Too bad they went to these thick burgers. I prefer my burgers thin and greasy.

We have T.D. Ritzy's here in Indiana that makes burgers like they use too. Best flavor in the world, that you can't get from a thick burger.

they have a place called "fat boy" in a city near here. they make a burger that is 2 lbs, and greasy with a hot chili sauce dripping off it as well. smothered with greasy fried onions greasy melted cheeze and bacon in a big bun that helps soak up some of the grease from dripping down your arm. Excellent. Great after a beer binge and sustains you for the next 24 hours while you sleep. Make sure you have toilet paper for when you wake up.

You can't leave out the burger scene from "Better Off Dead".

everybody wants some!

The regular Six Dollar Burger is 1/2 pound. But there's a double. :-/

[rwfromkansas]

What is offensive about that...

[birbear]

It's been years since I've been to CJs. my typical burger was a double western.

I've wondered if Carl's Jr was related to Hardees. I just checked their web site and they don't seem to have the Monster burger (yet).

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Would you like fries with that? Hungry!? A 6 lb. Burger. Where's the beef? It's at a Pennsylvania pub that serves the world's biggest burger — weighing in at NINE lip-smacking pounds! That's no whopper — you can actually get this meat monster for $23.95, loaded with all the fixings: Two whole tomatoes, a half-head of lettuce, 12 slices of American cheese, a full cup of peppers, two entire onions, plus, a river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.

As advertised on the pub's web site, a 96er sells for $23.95 and includes the following fixings and condiments:
Two whole tomatoes
A half-head of lettuce
12 slices of American cheese
A full cup of peppers
Two entire onions
A river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.

Denny's (not to be confused with the national chain restaurants of the same name) offers prizes for customers who can completely consume one of their big burgers within a designated time period: a T-shirt, certificate, and 50% discount for anyone who finishes a Challenger (2 lb. burger) within an hour; a T-shirt, certificate, and 100% discount for anyone who can polish off a Baby Boy (3 lb. burger) in 90 minutes or less; and something special for anyone who manages the unthinkable and puts away a whole 96er (6 lb. burger) in under three hours. (That "something special" has yet to be awarded, as no one has so far successfully accomplished the feat.)
