I imagine Pink’s Three-peat LA Laker Dog (three hot dogs wrapped in a giant tortilla, three slices of bacon, three slices of cheese, chili, and onions) is pretty bad for you.
It doesn’t sound as bad described, but the chili is the oiliest chili on the planet. It stains the tortilla shell bright neon orange instantly, and as you eat it the grease practically gushes out like water from a faucet.
The hot dog I had was smaller and less harmful. I didn’t dare try that thing.
There was a local burger place that was semi-known for its chili. They had a sandwich that the employees made for themselves - it wasn’t on the menu. It was a burger patty, then a chicken breast, with a few slices of cheese thrown in there, then some chili, lettuce, tomato, and extra mayo.
One of the peons I had under me at work brought me one. It was mighty tasty, though you wouldn’t think that beef and chicken would go well together.
I can’t give you calorie values but over here there are certain Fish 'n Chip places that will do a battered, deep fried mars bar for you if you ask them.
Here’s a recipe. I cn feel my arteries hardening just thinking about it.
[Homer]Mmmmm, arteriosclerosis…[/homer]
This is a UK Mars bar which I think is something like a Milky Way in the US. Comparison here at the great totl.net
Nah. Just take that Wendy’s Classic Triple and get an extra patty, 4 strips of bacon between each patty, and 8 slices of cheese.
Now THAT’S grub.
Bobbing for french fries in the deep fryer.
It’s really better to let the employees pull the fries out with the basket. Trust me.
I am suddenly reminded of a joke ad I once heard on the radio for “Bill ‘n’ Edna’s Choke Your Heart Breakfast Pit.”
Why aren’t people measuring these culinary delights in units of Big Macs, the metric unit of food unhealthiness?
Actually, i got a book that tells how mnay calories are in most items at most fast food places.
I got it so I could buy these items and eat them so as to gain weight!
I actually want to.
So, would all the fat be bad for me, evne though i am thin?
What is the single most unhealthy thing available at a fastfood place?
The E. coli.
Duh.
What about the really nominal fee to supersize it. It makes eating yourself to death a real bargain.

Waaaaiit a minute… Are there any Sonics in Connecticut? I didn’t think there were any in New England. And I know it sounds unhealthy, but I’ve kind of missed them since we moved to New England.

The bloomin’ onion at Outback Steakhouse has 2,130 calories and 163 grams of fat (including dipping sauce.)
I believe I’ve had 3 heart attacks just reading this thread. Makes me tempted to get fast food for supper instead of that chili I’ve been brewing…
White Castles have to be loaded with fat.
I’ve also heard of a British thing called Scotch eggs, where they take hard boiled eggs, wrap them in sausage, bread them and then deep fry. They are served with some sort of mayo dipping sauce. Eeew.
And, deep fried Snickers, which they had at this year’s State Fair.
(Shameless self-plugging) I just did a search. Here are my two deep-fried food threads.

I’m going to deep fry some more stuff this weekend, I think. 
Meat Lovers’ Skillet? Classic Triple? Chocolate peanut butter milkshake?
Wimps.
Thanksgiving Day, the Food Network ran a show called “Extreme Foods.” They may even have a link on their website. The show featured a hamburger shack in Clearfield, PA that offers 2, 3, and 6 pound burgers. Words fail me trying to describe the size of these things, but “never eat something bigger than your own head” comes close. The bun looks like one of those puffy chef’s hats. Successfully eating a 6-pound burger earns the gorger a plaque on the wall of fame.
As of the show’s production, the plaque remains empty. The burger has beaten all challengers.
Fried cheese sticks are horrendous in terms of fat and calories. And I gained ~10 pounds after hubby and I started going to the wings 'n rings place regularly. (“But, your honor, I thought chicken wings were nutritious. I think they should pay for my personal trainer now that I’m fat.”) When I looked up chicken wings in my Weight Watchers guide, they were 5 points. Apiece.
Egads.
The Fatburger double king burger with cheese, bacon, chili, ranch dressing, topped with a fried egg.
[mmmmmmmm]
Mmm, I’d say the food.
:eek:
That’s a big burger!
I did some searching, and here’s what I came uo with. The name of the restaurant is Denny’s Beer Barrel and Pub, and apparently, they offer burgers that are two, four, six, and eight pounds!
:eek:
Of course, that’s just the pre-cooked patty weight.
Here’s a picture of one of the two-pounders. That’s a lot of food!
