A "Thickburger"??? Why not just call it "HeartAttackOnABun"?
Maybe they should attach a warning label:
Do not eat this product if you have any sign of heart disease, are more than 10 pounds overweight, suffer from diabetes, hypertension or have a family history of heart disease. Also, should not be eaten by women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Warning: May cause severe gastrointestinal distress!
I used to go to a place in SoCal called The Shack. A Shackburger was about a half-pound hamburger with a four-inch piece of kielbasa, split in half and grilled, on top. In between the meats were two slices of cheese. They were great, but I had to go with a friend, because half was way more than enough!
A tavern nearby has a half-pound ground sirloin burger, served w/3 types of cheese (Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, Brick, American, Muenster, and Bleu are the choices), 2 thick bacon strips, grilled onions, sauteed mushrooms, a big tomato slice, a few strips of avacado, a big leaf of romaine lettuce, and your choice of home-made barbecue sauce (medium or hotter'n'hell), home-made horseradish sauce (same breakdown and the "hotter'n'hell will clear an allergy-stricken elephant's sinuses), home-made steak sauce (secret recipe - sorta tangy-sweet with a hint of pepper), or home-made ketchup (another secret recipe, involving, of course, fresh tomato). The bun is your choice of home-made sourdough (my fave), whole wheat, rye, onion, poppyseed, garlic-onion, or plain, grill-toasted or not as you prefer - all baked in-house and real big, real tasty. It goes for $8.95 w/out fries (buncha choices there too, an additional $1.95 for a huge basket, a buck more for cheddar cheese sauce topping drizzled all over 'em). I have no idea how many calories it has, but its a helluva feed. One of them, a few beers and mebbe a shooter or two will put you right into the sorta mood where a nice nap has real appeal.

My grandma always believed in fatty and sugary foods. And she's always smoked about 2 packs a day. But she's had to cut down now that she's 101 and living in a nursing home.
My grandma lived on fried potatoes fot the last 20 years of her life, and she made it to 93. Disapproved of smoking though ...

Speaking of Hardee's and fast food ... Can anyone tell me what the Wiener Dog in my avatar is ??
Anon
thought it was a giant rat...
That's not the sign in San Francisco that people were trying to preserve, is it?
The misters grandmother was the kind of cook who used lard, crisco, butter, and bacon fat to cook everything in.
she lived to be 89.
Spry , happy, thin, no heart problems..
Julia Child lived into her 90's and never spared the butter.
It's the Der Weinersnitchel Dog! It's famous and this is one of the last ones left I think.
