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.

well, if my memory serves me correctly, there was one in Clarksville and one in Hendersonville TN.
It's been at least 5 years since i've been down that way, so I don't even know if they're still around.
I continue to be amazed that people in the media listen to those moonbats in scientists' clothing just because their name makes them sound all serious and scientific. They are nothing more than a bunch of shills for PETA who really think we all should be vegans. Of course, their name and front page of their web site doesn't give any clues to their real agenda so people continue to fall for their act.
About the only person I can think of that can eat that cow is Mike Moore.
Applebees has a 1 lb burger called the New Yorker and it's pretty good.
You beat me to it. I was just going to mention the same thing. One day I will try it. I do enjoy the 20oz. one from chee-burger chee-burger.

I just saw two new commercials for this burger.
Being an afficianado of bad taste, I thought that the commercials (especially the first one) were both complete hoots, but I think that they might have gone overboard for prime time TV.
Both of these commercials ask something along the lines of "what does it take to eat a new Hardees Monster Burger?"
The first one has a woman (a rather cute one, but not on par with the "Hardee's Cowgirl") stuffing her entire fist in her mouth! The second has a good looking woman pulling brightly colored straws out of a box, and putting them in her mouth.
There were two other commercials (one on radio) for Hardees that I came upon, that were really terrific, and both in good taste.
The first has a beautiful woman walking into an office, carrying a Hardees bag and drink. As the camera pulls back, you can see that she's really pregnant, and they're in a Dr's office. There are other women in the room, and loads of kids. As the first woman is lustily biting into her "thickburger," the other women are watching her longingly. The announcer says something along the lines of "Hardees thickburgers. They're for adults. Enjoy it while you can. You'll be eating at McDonalds for the next 12 years or so!"
Then there was a radio ad, with a new Dad talking about his baby and the first words she spoke. He said the baby said "mama" first, which makes sense, since her mother spends more time with her, and feeds her. Then her second word was "no," which also makes sense, since she's a girl. Her third word was "mmdonnalls," which translates to McDonalds. Well, I was driving with her in the car, and she used that third word... I replied with the word she knows: "No"
Well, it was something like that.

My Brother in law lives in Penn and takes the whole family there and they all share the burger. someday when I vacation there I'll have to check it out myself.
Homer Simpson said it all for me:
"If God didn't want us to eat animals, he shouldn't have made them out of meat."
It is amazing how those little hole-in-the-wall joints in the satellite communities around Nashville get the celebrities. My family and I used to go down and eat at a little seafood place in Hendersonville. Looked like hell on the outside, but very nice inside. Had THE best cajun-blackened catfish I've ever had in my life. You'd be surprised the number of country music folks that ate there. I was at a table two over from Hank Jr. one Sunday afternoon. I think they appreciated going somewhere where they wouldn't be flocked and could be "regular people".
As much as it pains this New Yorker to say it -- the best fast food burgers are In Out Burger in California.
I miss In-N-Out. I used to live in San Diego and I ate there all the time.
I saw one with a woman filling her mouth with straws.

I will be having In-N-Out for lunch today. I usually get a 4x4 with onion, no tomato, fries and a chocolate shake :-)
I think Carl's, Jr. and Hardee's are one and the same. The Hardess on the East has that little star symbol for its logo, like CJ's.
I think everybody should keep their filthy mits out of my sandwich bag.
As a way of comparison, a 14-oz. ribeye (say, at Outback) would have 894 calories and 46 grams of fat, plus add on a salad (with dressing) or soup and a loaded baked potato, and you're probably up to the same level as this burger. (Heaven help you if you split a "blooming onion" with the rest of you party as an appetizer!)
Yes, that's why I said "this same company." Carl's Jr. bought Hardee's a few years ago.
I personally prefer a nice 2/3 pound hamburger from Backyard Burger......talk about a taste of heaven.
