You know, up until today I'd all but forgotten Hardee's ever existed. The last
thing I've ever ordered from a Hardee's was a Days of Thunder meal, so yeah.
It's been a while. It looks like they're trying to force themselves back onto
the fast food map in a big and scary way though, as evidenced by this little tidbit I
discovered today.
As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid
fears of being sued, Hardee's is bucking the trend, serving up a megaburger with
1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat. [The burger consists of] two
one-third-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of
cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun.
I almost want to eat one of these things just so I can say that I have. On the
other hand, I'm not terribly interested in, you know, dying. As my
friend James mentioned, though, it needs mushrooms. I responded by saying that
it needs both mushrooms and onions, both sauteéd. I'd have to skip the
mayo, though. Mayonnaise is good, but it does not belong on a hamburger.
In any case, I definitely admire them for standing up to the public and saying,
"Fuck you, assholes. Your food choices are yours and yours alone, and if you
want to eat insanely unhealthy shit, we're ready to serve it right up." Go
Hardee's.

I have had this burger -- I didn't know that it was a big deal. They've had it for a while. It's fucking huge. And it's glorious.

hahaha - I too just had it - yesterday for the first time.
I can't BELIEVE it is 107 grams of fat... It was NOT worth all of that. It was good though - very tasty. Heard it on MJ Morning show yesterday on the way to work, so me and my buddy stopped by on the way home to grab it... :)

You both need to have your heads examined. Once the half-pound of grease is flushed from your bloodstream, that is.
Speaking of MJ, he's no longer in Atlanta. I predicted the demise of 105.3 the second it switched to an all-talk format, because it was insanely popular when it was all 80s music. People bitched and complained when it moved to talk radio, but the station did nothing. Except fail.
105.3 is now ALL LATINO, ALL THE TIME!
