Monster Thickburger - Hardee's 1400 calorie creation

[smearbrick1]

This new line of burgers from Hardee's is by far the best in the business... I don't really think the name choice was the best... I mean... "thickburger"? Doesn't evoke some sort of phallic mental image. I try not think about it while I'm eating.

I've never actually eaten this one, but had the 1/2 on Sourdough. Awesome!!!

I think maybe I'll have this for lunch and then hit the gym!!

Or throw one at the gym and knock it over

They sure look good ...I'll have to try one. But there are only a few Hardee's here in town, and all are out of the way for me.

Have you ever had an Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack In The Box? I used to love those, and I'd usually eat two of them (but no fries ...that'd be too much ).

Another good one is Wendy's Triple Cheeseburger. I can only eat one of those though ...with fries. Those are better tasting than the ones from McD's or Burger King, IMO.

OK, now that's a hamburger that makes me hungry. Not that I could eat all of it in one sitting but I could give it a shot.

[Guest]

Nice. What are the paper towels for?

[smearbrick1]

There are no (how do you make this plural?) Jack In The Boxes(?) around here. I've had the Wendy's burger... good stuff. I can't understand why McD's is still peddling that same crap burger when you have all of these great alternatives. I guess because that crap burger sells well, but to me there is just no competition when you compare quality and taste.

wendys is really pissed me off lately -- their nice junior bacon cheese burgers that were cheap have now got so small as to be ridiculous .. about 1.75" square meat patty , 1/8" thick (I'm not kidding - i measured it) .. just a year ago they were about the same size as their normal one patty thing ...

[BJ_M]

from UBER site (funny as hell):

Well Uber, it's been 5 months since I wrote my original post on working at Wendy's but as my year anniversary of working there draws near (I think it's sometime in October) I feel compelled to offer a second installment in the Wendy's chronicles.

A little update:

1. I graduated from grill to cashier.
2. They made that bitch Chrissy a manager.
3. I still haven't received a raise and probably won't because of Chrissy (more on that later).
4. I started a small business selling stolen Wendy's uniforms (believe it or not, there seems to be a market for navy blue t-shirts that say "BIGGIE" on the front and "SEE YOU LATER!!" on the back).

About being a cashier: All I can say is HOLY SHIT. Operating the pick-up-window (PUW) cash register has reinforced my hatred for the elderly. Old people are indeed among the top ranks of the ignorant. Ever notice how slowly they drive their cars? Well apparently they do everything at that same pace, including (but not limited to) ordering food, driving up to the window, and counting out the exact change that old people always pay with. The elderly are also among the ranks of the rudest people in the world.

A sample conversation:

ME: Your total is $2.12, please drive up.
(5 minutes later)
ME: Hi, $2.12 please. (I have to say this in case he forgot).
OLDGUY: Did you give me the senior discount? (As if I knew you were 80 when you were placing your order. I can't see you, dipshit).
(NOTE: The senior discount is %10 off.)
ME: Sir, in order to get the senior discount you have to specify that you are a senior upon placing your order. If I were to give you the discount now I would have to call over a manager to void out your order. Since the manager today happens to be Chrissy, she'll probably mess up and make it look like I stole money out of my register and hence get me fired. It's only twenty two cents, sir. (The register can't do math. That wasn't my reasoning.)
OLDGUY: I don't care about your ******* job! I want my ******* quarter, you sonuvabitch!

See what I mean?

Now for a word on Chrissy. She cost me my raise yesterday. She "wrote me up" (I don't really know what this entails other than you can't get a raise if you've been "written up") for employee theft. The funny thing about that is I wasn't working at the time of said theft and therefor her accusation is invalid, right? RIGHT!? WRONG, BITCH!!! Apparently logic and reason are foreign concepts to all Wendy's managers because those are the concepts that aren't taught in the training videos. Concepts they do teach, however, inlcude both the Dangers of High Food Costs and, my personal favorite, Scapegoating. If she checked my ******* timecard she would have realized that I wasn't even there at the time of the theft. But enough of that.

More pick-up-window pet peaves!!

-When people let me know ahead of time when they are going to use the money from their welfare checks to order exclusively off the dollar menu.
-When people order things that aren't on the menu including: milkshakes, happy meals, whoppers, whopper jr's, big macs, all pepsi products, apple pies, ice cream sunday's, thousand island salad dressing, peppercorn salad dressing, double bacon cheeseburgers and junior bacon cheeseburger deluxes. (We have Junior Bacons and Junior Cheese Deluxes, but they are seperate)
-When people ask for their "military discount" (I have no ******* clue what this is.)
-When people present me with coupons that aren't for our restraunt.
-When people present me with food stamps.
-When people yell at me for asking if they want to pay with cash or with credit (its not my ******* fault you fucked up your credit dialing 1-900 phone sex numbers so don't yell at me if you don't have a credit card. I don't have esp. I don't know what you have in your pocket).

Doing any of these things will probably get you food that isn't spit free. You've been warned.

A friend and co-worker of mine, lets call him Joe (as that is his name), will spit in all food. I like Joe because of his creative way of dealing with irritating customers.

JOE: Welcome to Wendy's, how may I help you?
LADY: I want, um...
JOE: Lady, if you say "junior bacons", I'm going to slit your ******* throat.

Uber, its time to find a new job. Until then, I need to plot revenge against Chrissy. I think I'll start with stealing the Autographed picture of Dave Thomas out of the Manager's office.

Muahahahaha!

for canada = 2 oz

they show this pic as acual sample (in the real thing you can not even see the meat) - this is clearly no 2oz hamburger , i smell lawsuit!


so i go to the USA listing for the same product ..
http://www.wendys.com/food/Product.jsp?family=5&product=5

and look here ! same size patty - but usa gets reg. mayo .. but canada gets 'lite" mayo (a good thing as mayo on a hamburger anyway doesnt make sense to me ... kinda like putting gravy on fries -- its like putting grease on your fat .


a 2oz patty ? fat chance it is even that big .. i'm going to do some letter writing.. maybe get a free coupon even ..

I love to order other resturant's food at different resturants. I absolutely love ordering a Big Mac at Taco Bell, ordering a Large Pepperoni and Mushroom deep dish at Wendy's, and...well you get the idea.

I also did not know that they get pissed off if you walk through the drive through (they have sensors now, so not as much fun, neither is riding a bicycle, or lawnmower through )

Guess I better rethink my sideline entertainment.

I also love orderin a Pepsi when they serve Coke or vice versa they always say "all we serve is Coke sir. Is that alright?" I laugh everytime.

Is it just me or does Monster Thickburger sound like a bad German Porno star name?..

We used to have Jack In The Boxes (?) too around here, but about 10 or 12 years ago they pulled out of the state. The last Ultimate Cheeseburger I had was at the one in Flagstaff when we went to the Grand Canyon.

Classic Triple® with cheese = 940 cal. btw


also -- the "lite" mayo canada gets has 5 more cal. than the 'reg' mayo usa gets ... go figure ... makes no sense

[yoda313]

yea -- i think your right



2200mg of salt sounds pretty high -- that is how much in a triple .. thats like a 1/4 cup of salt isnt it ?

[sacajaweeda]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Junior Bacon Cheeseburger.

One of the best things in life 99 cents can buy.

[Roundabout]

We used to have Jack In The Boxes (?) too around here, but about 10 or 12 years ago they pulled out of the state. The last Ultimate Cheeseburger I had was at the one in Flagstaff when we went to the Grand Canyon.

I think they moved all of them here

There's two within 1 1/2 miles of my house, and many more in the general area.

I think the Ultimate Cheeseburger is still on the menu, but it's no longer $.99 like it was when introduced. They used to have signs in the windows advertising it for that price.

Now the big push is the Pannido Sandwich, a foot-long (approx) deli sandwich with your choice of Turkey, "Zesty Turkey", Ham, Swiss cheese.



I've had it a couple of times, it's not bad at all. They have 2 - for - 1 coupons all the time, so the price works out to about $3.00 each with tax.

However, I wouldn't pay $6.00 for one of these. It's good, but not that good. :P

You're so lucky Roundabout. Wanna Fedex me a few?

J/K. I can get the Wendy's Triple if I feel my arteries are a bit too free-flowing

Sure, but I don't think they'd be too edible by the time they got there - they're barely edible now

My wife loved that Ult. Cheeseburger too, it's too bad they raised the prices. It was a good deal when first introduced. They hope they'll get you hooked, then jack up the price after you're addicted.

The Pannido, OTOH, isn't nearly as remarkable. I've had one maybe three or four times, and almost always only eat half and save half for later. In the picture, it looks like a ton of meat (don't all the pictures of Fast Food look like that? They never quite give you what the picture promises) but since they roll the meat, it makes it look like more. At least the sandwich is made fresh when you order it.

Really, I think you could make one just as well at home, probably better.

I was just looking at the calories in the Bacon Ult. Cheeseburger (Googled) and it's 1120 calories. Almost a whole day's supply, and that's before fries. Wow.
