328863 Mon Sep 25 20:38:27 -0700 2006 27 32 Chains 0 1901315 NO. 1: The Carl's Jr. DOUBLE SIX DOLLAR BURGER. 2 paties, 3 slices of cheese and all the fixins and coming in at a whopping 1500+ calories (with over 100 grams of fat)! Plus, it's really tasty; the Angus beef paties are really well prepared. Calories well-spent. RUNNER-UP: The Burger King Quad Stacker I think a close runner-up has to be the Burger King Quad Stacker with 4 patties, 4 slices of cheese and 8 strips of bacon and it doesn't even pretend to be anything but an orgy of fat and cholesterol as it comes with not a shred of lettuce, tomato or any other veggies to speak of. Problem is, this burger is a bit too tall and not wide enough. Hard to eat, almost need a fork and knife, and for fast food, that's not ideal. Mon Sep 25 20:38:27 -0700 2006 11583 ipsedixit 1 1901439 Never had it, but it's gotta be Hardees' monster thickburger. Mon Sep 25 21:19:32 -0700 2006 1901315 14271 tamerlanenj 2 2098160 the hardees monster thickburger is as big as the Carl's Jr Double Six Dollar Burger, basically two patties of 1/3 lb. CarlsJr and Hardees are one in the same, out west they are CJ, most of the country calls them hardees... check here http://www.carlsjr.com/menu/ Thu Dec 14 01:41:16 -0800 2006 1901439 45997 floyd 1 1901699 Fatburger's Double King (1 pound) Mon Sep 25 22:50:39 -0700 2006 1901315 10786 calabasas_trafalgar 2 2357741 another vote for the double king. this thing is the size of a baby's head. Tue Mar 06 09:38:01 -0800 2007 1901699 10246 choctastic 1 1901737 for chains I'd say the Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box. It's got like more then a days worth of fat and calories! Mon Sep 25 23:05:35 -0700 2006 1901315 43007 omgirlie 2 1902264 Every year they do that special Bacon Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger too... Tue Sep 26 03:10:51 -0700 2006 1901737 15572 Emme 1 1901816 THe Royal at Red Robin. Cheese, Fried Egg, Mayo and Bacon. (PLus it comes with bottomless fries) Mon Sep 25 23:32:27 -0700 2006 1901315 11719 jes 2 1903658 This is my favorite chain burger (living on the East Coast I've never had the privilege of dining at Fatburger or In & Out) and every time I order it I feel my arteries clogging. But it's just too darn tasty! Tue Sep 26 19:16:11 -0700 2006 1901816 22167 SarahEats 2 2359178 I totally agree. I remember seeing that on the menu and almost wanting to puke from an overdose of grease (I do that from time to time). I really enjoyed the other burger I had from there, but I had to put the idea of a burger with all those fatty toppings out of my mind first. Tue Mar 06 14:45:26 -0800 2007 1901816 36261 sunshinedrop 1 1905942 No Carls Jrs here on the East Coast, so I'd have to go with the Hardees Monster Thickburger. Actually, quite tasty for a chain burger. Decent texture, good flavor, and a mere 1,420 calories. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6498304/ And the BK Triple Whopper trounces the Quad Stacker with 1,230 calories to 1,000, respectively. And the Triple boasts a 160% of your daily saturated fat. Easier to eat too (flatter than the Stacker). Wed Sep 27 17:51:59 -0700 2006 1901315 12359 monkeyrotica 2 1908302 I can see eating this if you had been a prisoner on Devil's Island for six months, but anyone eating a triple whopper for lunch, on a regular basis, ought to have their head examined. Thu Sep 28 15:41:30 -0700 2006 1905942 14412 wontonton 3 1908479 It is pretty lethal. Makes you feel really sluggish and tired, like you're body's working overtime to process this stuff out. If it's possible to get drunk off meat, this should be a controlled substance. I usually have it once or twice a year, like fois gras or a napoleon.

Check it out: http://www.danielnyc.com/recipes/dbburger.html Thu Sep 28 15:45:09 -0700 2006 1901315 16490 Bostonbob3 1 1908317 BTW, I know that's not technically a chain, but word is that DB Mistro Moderne is expanding to several other cities. So actually, I'm just being proactive, right? Thu Sep 28 15:46:59 -0700 2006 1901315 16490 Bostonbob3 2 2368207 We have a Bistro Moderne in Houston, but I don't think DB has anything to do with it. Could be wrong. But they do have a killer burger. Thu Mar 08 21:03:43 -0800 2007 1908317 16852 jim1126 1 1909640 McClintock's Baron of Higuera $12.69 One pound of seasoned, charbroiled ground beef topped with melted cheddar and served on a French loaf. Finish this by yourself and we’ll add your picture to our “Wall of Fame.” They also had The Trough which was a 1-lber w/ any cheese served on a french roll, side of fries, a dinner salad, and a drink. I managed all this and added a dessert and coffee. Ah, the ability to eat, enjoy, and still be merry afterwards.

I thought they'd be the same, but when I moved to Florida from California I found Hardee's to be vastly inferior. Sat Mar 03 21:17:34 -0800 2007 1901315 19148 aynrandgirl 1 2355119 Why over-do it? The double meat and cheese at What-a-burger is as good as it gets. Chili's Bar and Grill old timer ain't bad, either.

Tue Mar 06 10:14:08 -0800 2007 1901315 13964 J T 2 2368098 The March 2007 issue of Nutrition Action Health Letter mentions the Ruby Tuesday Colossal Burger, calling it "A Colossal Mistake." They go on to say, "Two huge hamburger patties, a three-section bun, and melted American and Monterey Jack cheese, all piled so high that it comes to the table with a steak knife plunged through the middle. Meet the Ruby Tuesday Colossal Burger. It's 1,949 calories vacuum up your 2,000-calorie daily target. And that doesn't include the sauce or the fries that come on the side." Whoa! LOL.. that's pretty colossal! Thu Mar 08 20:20:12 -0800 2007 2357953 10764 monkuboy 3 2370587 Who can eat stuff like that....consume 1949 calories at one sitting? I had a cousin who would come up to Cincinnati and want White Castles and would order a bag of 20 and eat them in one sitting. 135 calories per burger X 20 burgers = 2700 calories, but that was disgusting to watch him eat. I can't believe enough people eat something like that to warrant it being put on a menu! Fri Mar 09 13:37:35 -0800 2007 2368098 36261 sunshinedrop 4 2371081 Haha, that's funny (and gross). In junior high one time I was standing in back of this big guy in the "hash lines." He ordered two hot dogs and wolfed them down before he even moved out of the way - I think he literally swallowed them whole. I was horrified. Fri Mar 09 15:40:55 -0800 2007 2370587 10764 monkuboy 1 2359842 How about the Tons of fun Burger or Double BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger at Cheesecake Factory. Or Claim Jumper Widowmaker.
