Hardees restaurant has tortured us for a few years with menu items like the Monster Thickburger, which weighs in at 1,420-calories and is made up of two 1/3-pound slabs of beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered bun. Because a buttered bun is essential on a sandwich like that, but that is another topic for another day. In an attempt to top themselves and bring their big guns (or bellies) Hardees just released their new breakfast item today. Man it sounds good. Check out the new Country Breakfast Burrito -- two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat. And don't worry you can make it a combo with tots and coffee. I love the line in this article that says: "That's all before 10 o'clock in the morning,"......yeah that's because at 11 in the morning the heart attack begins.
Shouldn't there be some form of corporate responsibility in selling foods like this? I thought McDonalds was bad by polluting their salads with bacon and cheese and super fatty salad dressing. I think that these companies should be able to come to a compromise between a food item that will sell to the masses and still be in the ballpark of healthy.
