Evidently there's just not enough diabetes and heart disease for some people....

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again -- this time for breakfast.

Hardee's on Monday rolled out its 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.

Brad Haley, marketing chief for the St. Louis-based fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.

"It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.

 

[Gutter]

My heart stopped just from looking at that.

 

[SixToe]

It's a walk-by at the breakfast buffet in a burrito, minus the fruit.

They should call it the Hardee's Tube o' Death.

They should call it the Hardee's Tube o' Death.

That name already has been claimed for personal use by the Hardee's CEO.

Just made special for Freelance Hack...

 

[Mystery_Meat]

Just wait for the low-carb version where the tortilla is replaced with bacon.

MMMMMMMM, three kinds of pig.

Or the low-fat version, where they use turkey bacon and turkey sausage.

Only in America.

Hardees is a bigger threat to our national security than radical Muslims.

Is that appetizing to any of you? Looks disgusting to me, and I'm not exactly a health nut.

And the wallets of American cardiologists continue to grow fatter as well.

It's not quite as bad as the KFC bowl* (which, btw, if they'd drop the cheese, I'd be OK with. I mean, when Granny made fried chicken for Sunday dinner, I'd put all that stuff together anyways. But cheese, come on now!), but I'm not sprinting driving speeding to the nearest Hardee's to try it.

Totally agreed about the KFC bowl. When you eat all those things seperately, that's how it ends up in your stomach anyhow. Not that I necessarily want to be reminded of that.

Uh, I'm not sure you understand.

If I'm having mashed taters, gravy, corn and fried chicken or chicken strips, I'll put corn on top of the mashed taters and gravy ... and sometimes, I'll dip the chicken strips into the mashed taters and gravy. It's the cheese that throws me off.

Where is Freelance anyway? Getting his arteries routed?

They had me with the big breakfast burrito til the sausage gravy.

Bull. If they sold it at Publix, you'd buy em to freeze

Let me get this straight... You look at that monstrosity and the thing that throws you off are the few strands of cheese sitting on the top?

It's the cheese that broke the artery's back.
