Here's a few everyday restaurant menu items way worse than KFC's Double Down

[Initech]

Not that I'm saying the Double Down is a healthy menu choice (it isn't - not by a long shot) but I'm just trying to put things in perspective:


Carl's Jr Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger
Calories: 1040
Calories from fat: 630
Fat: 70
Saturated fat: 25
Sodium: 2240


Wendy's Baconator Triple
Calories: 1350
Calories from fat: 810
Fat: 90.0
Saturated fat: 40.0
Sodium: 2780


Chilis Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger
Calories: 2130 (!!!!!!!!!! :puke: )
Fat: 139
Saturated fat: 43
Sodium: 6460


Carls Jr Big Country Breakfast Burrito
Calories: 750
Calories from fat: 410
Fat: 46
Saturated fat: 13
Sodium: 1510


I'm sure there's way more that I'm not thinking of but it's pretty disgusting. I saw a pasta dish at Claim Jumper that has 3200 calories. Wow.

[flvegan]

1. That abomination from Wendy's looks disgusting

[Initech]

3. Yeah its like six burger patties and 15 slices of bacon.

I love a good bacon burger but that's just overkill.

[Frank Cannon]

50. It looks like something the Devil himself barfed onto a sheet of foil

:puke:

[nadinbrzezinski]

57. But the memories

add a little chili to that, and that was the football team favorite when I worked food service

[UnseenUndergrad]

89. Yep

It's also a waste of 3 perfectly good burgers.

[doc03]

2. Damn that first one Carl's Jr Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar

Burger does look good.

[d_r]

18. that's what I was thinking

[Blue_In_AK]

37. I thought so, too.

It might be worth a splurge now and then. Yum.

[MattBaggins]

55. 139 grams of fat.... Oh the fibrilations from that little baby

[obxhead]

90. problem is, they never look like that when you get them :(

[Xithras]

116. I've had it more than once.

And it is good. Even with fake fast food guacamole.

That Wendy's thing just looks vile.

[ThomThom]

126. What is fake fast food guacamole?

Is it avocado? Avocados are on my shopping list this time of year. I really like them.
I don't ever eat fast food because of dairy issues.

[Regret My New Name]

142. heh... I'm sure it's okay if you have one or two a year.

If I didn't overdo my eating out quota this year, I'd totally go get one.

[Bluebear]

4. That Wendy's baconator looks absolutely revolting.

[dionysus]

118. i tried one out of morbid curiosity (it was only a double) tasted great but it made me puke an hour

later.

[MUAD_DIB]

5. I have given up on cheese, meat, fat, whitish breads, beer, wine, alcohol

and I would never eat anything remotely looking like the crap above.

I want to live past 46 and not do it hooked up to a machine.

[Initech]

9. I'm going on a fast food free diet starting tomorrow.

[cali]

19. red wine in moderation is good for youand cheese, well, cheese

fruit and good bread or crackers is not at all an unhealthy repast.

[rhett o rick]

75. They say a glass of red wine a day will keep the doctor away. Well, last nite I kept 6 doctors away

but today I have a hell of a headache.

[shedevil69taz]

65. Sounds to me like you're dead already.

I mean sure none of those things should be eaten in excess like most of the US seems to think they should, but to cut them out altogether is just going to the opposite extreme.

[MUAD_DIB]

82. Not really. I have a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, grains, fish, nuts and

other items. I occasionally go off my regimen, like on a holiday, but as a rule I stay away from excess and falling back into a snackish routine.

Frankly I feel much better with my habits than I did when I was a culinary omnivore.

Now I know true vegans who looked truly unhealthy. The looked like they could be knocked over by a small breeze and were thin as a rail.

I wouldn't go that far.

[dionysus]

117. fish is teh awesome

[K8-EEE]

135. Oh man I know some gorgeous, healthy vegans!

The ones I know don't look unhealthy at all -- in fact my dad has reversed his typical american aging crap after going vegan (no more diabetes or high blood pressure meds.) My only problem is discipline. I simply like to eat a lot of stuff that isn't on their radar, however, the stuff on this post: BLECH!!

[iris27]

6. McDonald's Deluxe Angus Burger

12 oz.; 760 cal., 370 from fat; 41g total fat; 17g saturated fat; 2g transfat; 140mg cholesterol.


I will admit to being grossed out by the idea of a "sandwich" with meat slabs replacing the bun, though. :puke:

[Initech]

11. Go to the fair - everything there is deep fried and served on a stick.

[MilesColtrane]

64. You misspelled "Anus".

[iris27]

70. LOL

:rofl:

[rhett o rick]

76. 2nd. nm

[Enthusiast]

107. I've had one. My mother in law was buying, lol.

They are completely tasteless and not close to being worth the calories. Hell, a regular Whopper has better flavor.

[dsc]

7. the picture doesn't do the baconator justice

the double is a fine tasting sandwich but is admittedly quite bad for you. I would bet the McD Angus burger is pretty bad for you too.

[doc03]

8. An old buddy of mine used to just love 2 Wendy's Triple

Burgers with Biggie Fries, and a Frosty. He died 15 years ago from a massive heart attack at the ripe old age of 44, I am not kidding.

[Initech]

10. Yeah that's why I'm gonna stop eating that shit.

[Selatius]

15. Didn't he know it was pretty unhealthy to eat like that? Or did he not care? Just curious. nt

[doc03]

31. He got away with it until his early forties when he developed

diabetes, he tried watching his diet but it was too late then I guess. His son is now 17 and has the same weight problem and already has diabetes, the kid is strong as a horse just like his dad he can bench over 400#s.

[MattBaggins]

58. I try not to be a food Nazi but I used to eat that crap...

Had my wake up call last year when I had a heart attack at 39.

[iris27]

71. Two TRIPLE burgers?

Damn, I can put away a decent bit of food, but I can't even imagine being able to finish that much in a sitting.

[DainBramaged]

12. Shit here is the deal with the Double Down. As with TV if you don't like it

turn it off OR DON'T BUY THE DAMN THING, Jesus we are mad here.

[Initech]

16. We have 100,000 members here.

The population of the US is over 320,000,000. We're like 1% of 1%. We can choose not to buy this shit but that doesn't mean that the majority of the population doesn't know any better. Big fast food joints like KFC see us as nothing but walking dollar signs, they'll continue to make and market this shit as long as there's idiots willing to eat it. Of course they do customer surveys (I refuse to use the label "consumer") to prove that customers want healthy menu options - and they occassionally come through every once in a while - but time and time again they keep going back to the Baconator.

[DainBramaged]

28. We cannot be the nannies for the rest of the population

we need to make decisions based on OUR best interests and move along. period. We cannot continue to wring our hands over every piece of unhealthy food released by the mega-corporations.

[Initech]

32. Yeah exactly.

I'm not telling people how to eat (in fact, I probably SHOULDN'T be telling people how to eat) - I'm just putting things into perspective. People made a huge deal about the KFC double down but there's so much shit in the fast food world that it seems almost kind of irrelevant.

[DainBramaged]

36. DU as a community tries to be the nanny of the world, but it just doesn't work

Virtually all of these stupid food threads get blocked now, and it's ALWAYS the same people deriding the same companies for the same bad foods or choices they give people. Fuck it,. why can't we just stop hassling people about how they live their lives,. we're supposed to be LIBERALS not damn Pukes and we shouldn't be interfering with everyone's lives.

Rant over.

[MUAD_DIB]

88. You could argue the same thing about Phillip Morris cancer sticks.

Many states won't let you near a bar or restaurant if you want to light up now. I know that it is a slightly different concept from killer sandwiches, but the concept of a corporation killing you with a carcinogen in the form of a tobacco product or a mega burger is basically the same.

At some point somebody has to be the nanny and control corrupt corporations. They can say "sure you don't have to eat it", but for some eating a cheap burger is their only option.

[MattBaggins]

61. Umm did opur free speech rights get taken away recently?

Do we not have the right to discuss how stupid some food items are. We have the right to criticism as well. We also have the right to discuss the implications of these food choices on health care costs.

Do you feel that people at least have a legitimate basis to say "hey if bozo over there wants to shovel down 50 grams of fat burgers who is going to pay for his pacemaker?" Diabetes and heart disease (I have both due to my own stupidity) are running ramp-it in our country and standing up and pointing out what toxic piles of swill these sandwiches are, is not wrong.

Extremism in the defense of good health is no vice.

[aikoaiko]

13. But Guacamole has the good fat.

;)

[Initech]

17. Fast food guacamole is avocado mixed with mayo.

I shit you not - I caught a label on a Jack In The Box guacamole package. :puke:

[aikoaiko]

26. You say that like its a bad thing.

;)

I keed.

[Initech]

34. I was gonna say - you don't put mayo in guacamole.

That's blasphemy. You put tomatoes, onions and jalapenos in it. That is fucking guacamole.

[Webster Green]

39. I've used a little sour cream in it.

I like it that way.

[kurtzapril4]

47. I dunno....

I was taught to make guacamole by a real life Mexican lady...and she would put a tsp. or two of mayo in the guacamole. I'll take her word for it.

[AwakeAtLast]

69. That is exactly what I do!

Now I know I'm not crazy....thanks!

[Hekate]

84. Ripe avos, garlic powder, salt, fresh lemon juice. Mash. Spread on sourdough toast ...

... or scoop with tortilla chips.

Your recipe is okay, but I really, really like the taste of ripe avocados. With garlic. The lemon juice gives it bite.

I planted a baby avo tree last fall, but it has a long way to go before fruiting.

Hekate

[MUAD_DIB]

87. Why would anybody do that to guacamole?

If anything I wold imagine that it would be loaded up with cheap high-fructose corn syrup before any mayo would need to be added.

[Turborama]

102. Technically it isn't guacamole, then

They should call it avocado mayonnaise or the suchlike. Isn't there a law against this kind of false advertising?

[npk]

14. I couldn't eat a burger with guacamole on it

I think that would just be nasty. Of course that disgusting thing from Wendy's just make me want to hurl. :puke:

[Turborama]

49. In Australia they have burgers with fried egg and boiled beets in them

They call it the "Aussie burger". I tried one out of curiosity when I was there and they taste as disgusting as they look...



This NYT article about them tries to make them sound them delicious but nothing could be farther from the truth: http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/08/burgers-the-australian-way/

[npk]

59. OMG that is nasty. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

67. AMMFUELLLL!!

:puke:

That reminds me of my brief stint as a fast food drone at McDonald's when I was in high school.

Occasionally when we were making breakfast a fertilized egg would hit the grill.

To my credit, I never actually knowingly served anyone a "Chick McMuffin".

[Initech]

72. That does look pretty nasty.

I love eggs and I love burgers but the two together are just not a good combination.

[Thothmes]

105. Remember getting the egg/burger

combination in Paris France.

[obxhead]

92. I think IHOP has that burger now,

minus the beets. but otherwise, burger, bacon, and egg in a bun. ugh

[ThomThom]

128. also in America that pink meat would not be allowed

well done or nothing

[laughingliberal]

137. The fried egg on it, I can handle. Hold the beets. nt

[virgogal]

20. I pig out on fast food/.junk food about once a month. A nice

little treat for me.

Been doing it for years.

[PSzymeczek]

29. Once every month or two

is not going to kill you. I enjoy a BK double stacker (bacon double cheese burger) about 3-4 times a year. Life should not be totally joyless.

[alphafemale]

63. I allow myself a Big Mac 2 or at most 3 times a year.

Yes, I know they are crap. But I love them.

[Turborama]

66. Can ribs be classified as junk food?

If so, they are a guilty pleasure I indulge in once or twice a month. I have a burger binge every couple of months, too.

[virgogal]

124. Ribs? Junk food? Not in a million years.

[hlthe2b]

21. I still can't get past the fact that they are injected an ammonia-

gelatinous filler in hamburger and it is legal. I haven't had a commercial hamburger since. UGGH.

But, just seeing those photos make my coronary vessels start to contract, I'm convinced.

[CreekDog]

22. Okay, I don't see the harm in eating something crazy like this once in a while

In fact yesterday I tried the double-down because I was curious about it.

It says it's 540 calories, which I ate on a day I consumed less than 2000 and I offset the salt by consuming much less salt apart from this.

Yes, it's crazy for people to eat this stuff regularly, but to have as a treat once in a while?

No big deal in that case.

[Initech]

23. Yeah I can see that.

I love going to short order restaurants - and actually prefer that to the big drive-thru chains - but after having a huge health scare last week I'm ready to just stop eating it entirely.

[pengillian101]

24. Did you enjoy it?

Was it tasty or not?

Calories notwithstanding, what about the sodium...that's the bad thing for me. But if was tasty enough, I might eating a partial sandwich, if I ever came across one.

Was it delightful?

[CreekDog]

139. It was okay

The chicken itself was better than adding the bacon and cheese.

On the plus side, there's almost no carbs in the thing since it has no bun.

[laughingliberal]

138. I tried the double-down last week.

Not bad but for my days I'm going to blow most of my calories in one place, there are things I like better.

[jmowreader]

25. Where did you get that photo of the Baconator Triple?

It's reprehensible, but it's only THREE patties, rather than six. And you missed the 3.5g trans fat, the 40g carbs, the 10g sugars, the lowly 2g fiber...about the only positive thing about this sandwich is it's got 60 percent of your RDA of iron and if you ate this thing, a Sour Cream and Chives potato and a medium Coke you'd be good to go if you fucked up and forgot to eat breakfast and lunch like I've been known to do.

[JVS]

27. Why does the baconator triple have 5 patties?

[dionysus]

120. the normal one has 2, that must be a "triple"

[Odin2005]

30. That 6-Dollar burger looks good.

[ima_sinnic]

33. 6460 mg of salt in the Chilis Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger

that is like 5-6 DAYS' worth of salt in a healthy diet, or even more for someone trying to lower blood pressure (a friend told me she got her salt intake down to 700-1000 mg per day for a while to lower hers). I believe 2000 is advised as max, but something more like 1200-1600 mg should be the goal. Sodium is now considered as dangerous as cigarettes for people's health.

[dana_b]

68. I noticed that too

I have high blood pressure (controlled) and wouldn't touch that crap. Good for your friend. She'll feel better too.

[ima_sinnic]

110. I have also been watching salt just b/c it sensible to do so

I never add salt to anything anymore, and always check labels for sodium content. Amazing the number of otherwise "healthy" frozen entrees that have ca. 600 mg of salt. Tracking my intake of calories, fat, salt, sugar, fiber and so on at http://www.NutriMirror.com was quite interesting and showed me I was getting more sugar and salt than I thought I was. I didn't have the discipline to keep up the logging but used it to get a good idea of where I was at and what I should change. The idea now of eating anything laden with fat, sugar, and salt is just a turn-off to me.

[rocktivity]

35. If I hadn't read about the Double Down on DU earlier, I would have sworn the commercial was a joke

I made the same mistake with the "coffee achievers" commercial--I first saw it during Saturday Night Live, thought it was one of their parodies, and didn't realize it WASN'T meant to be a joke until I saw it again during Monday Night Football!

:crazy:
rocktivity

[demosincebirth]

38. Ridiculous.

[varelse]

40. I had to recommend this thread

just to irritate the people posting on it to complain about the topic. }(

[Turborama]

74. I've rec'd it because some of the replies have made me laugh out loud

It's good to have fun threads like this around when there's so much negative news cropping up.

[varelse]

136. well, yes, there is that as well

:)

[JI7]

41. the Double Down with a salad can be a somewhat healthy meal

[flvegan]

42. On what planet?

[JI7]

44. compared to large size fries, huge soda, and some greasy burger

a double down with a salad and water for drink is better.

[flvegan]

45. Oh, compared to other fast food.

I gotcha now. I thought you just meant across the board. Yes, that's true, it is better than other choices.

[MattBaggins]

62. You must have one interesting definition of "somewhat"

[rocktivity]

127. Sure--for a pro football team!

:crazy:
rocktivity

[JI7]

43. most of that doesn't even look good, but this in and out pic

always makes me hungry.

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. MMMMM I loves me a Double-Double, Fries, and a Vanilla Shake.

Yup.

[Initech]

51. I just ate one of those for dinner, it was quite tasty.

[bullwinkle428]

78. If only all fast food could be as tasty as In-N-Out...

then I would weigh a good 500 lbs.!!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

104. In-n-out's stuff is really quite good.

I don't know what it is - maybe the quality of the meat or the lack of excessive additives in the fries, but I never feel like crap after eating there. And I'm the sort of person who simply cannot resist ordering a double double, animal style, so it's not like I'm that health conscious.

[Union Yes]

48. K&R my cholesterol went up just looking at this OP! nt

[MadBadger]

52. The Baconator Triple (which looks totally yummy) has like 5-6 patties

Triple what exactlY?

[MadBadger]

53. A Regular Order of Five Guys Fries is 630 Calories and 30 grams of fat

[Initech]

73. Just the fries? OMG!!!

[MadBadger]

77. The Burger is apparently 800+ Calories and 50+ grams of fat

[Initech]

80. Damn... one combo would be like an entire day's worth of calories and fat.

:yoiks:

[MadBadger]

85. But its soooooo goood.

[Dorian Gray]

108. Yeah, but they're huge

I've been to five guys twice. I've shared the regular fries with two other people and gotten a burger. Still high in calories, but those fries are huge and should be shared.

[MadBadger]

129. Well the burger is 850 calories and 55 grams of fat

[Dorian Gray]

141. That's if you get the regular

which is a double. I always get the single. (Which is still 500 something, but not quite as bad.)

It's not something for the faint of heart. (I've only been twice since the 5 Guys opened in our hood about a year and a half ago.)

NOT health food by any means!

[obxhead]

94. Yeah, but a regular order of 5guys fries feeds 4.

Every time I go there I split a regular order with 2 others and we still throw fries away.

[MadBadger]

97. Yea, 4 people with tiny appetites.

[obxhead]

122. Not in my experience.

We all have large appetites, it's just that a regular fry at 5 guys puts a super size fry anywhere else to shame. ;)

[TommyO]

111. and serves three people

On those occasions where we head over to the Five Guys by the theater, we split the regular fries two or three ways, typically with Little Burgers and fixin's.

Even the Five Guys nutritional information says that one serving is half a regular order.

http://www.fiveguys.net/files/files/NutritionalInfo_2009.pdf

[DBoon]

54. Nothing tops an Oki Dog!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

103. What... what IS that? n/t

[DBoon]

115. "2 hot dogs, pastrami, chili and cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXA0_lqx6hU

[dionysus]

119. damn that looks good.

[RedCappedBandit]

56. I'd be willing to bet...

that a large portion of the people appalled by the concept of the 'Double Down' eat less healthy garbage every day.

[apocalypsehow]

60. The Baconator is the ideal eating experience - a slice of heaven on earth. Pork + Cow = mmm,mmmm!!!

:9

[wtmusic]

91. Next to a Bacon Explosion, of course.

5,000 calories of bliss.

http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

[apocalypsehow]

95. This is in KC? I grew up in OP, and still visit regularly - how'd I miss this? Looks great, BTW.

:thumbsup:

[wtmusic]

96. Quite a net phenomenon, about a year ago

Reviewed in the NYT Food section:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html

I have cholesterol issues, but one day I'm gonna make me one. :D

[Onceuponalife]

100. That looks like a giant turd

:puke:

[theHandpuppet]

140. I think it looks like the planet eater from Star Trek

I'd set my phaser to kill it.

[TommyO]

112. Oh crap, I have a smoker now, I can make one of these....

[SmileyRose]

79. Fast food doesn't even make the worst list.

http://www.manolith.com/2009/04/19/17-foods-with-the-most-caloric-bang-for-your-buck/

Chili's seems to have quite a few on the list.

[Regret My New Name]

143. I was out on the road for about 3 1/2 months and had to eat out every night...

I tried sticking with light salads and stuff for awhile, but it's oh sooo hard to do that when your company is paying for your meals. :/

In the process, I managed to gain almost 10 lbs... I rarely went to fast food places either, it was mostly places like Chili's and Texas Roadhouse... Their food isn't even that awesome tasting for it to be that bad for us.

[MisterP]

81. here's more

http://www.cracked.com/video_18133_8-great-foods-explaining-why-terrorists-hate-us.html

and don't forget the Taco Bell 5-layer burrito? it appears to have its own internal organs. If I threw it on the ground, would it start humping its way forward like a caterpillar? Whould it show phototaxis by moving toward or away from light? Chemotaxis like some sock-sized paramecium?

[OnyxCollie]

83. But does that stuff actually taste good?

On the rare occasion that I indulge in some fast food atrocity, I usually say, "That was awful, and I wish I never thought about eating that."

[MadBadger]

86. What I find the Most disturbing is that its 540 Calories, and the Grilled variety is 460

Makes you wonder about that grilled chicken they serve at KFC if its only 80 less calories than the fried variety of the double down.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

123. My guess is most of the calories are in the bacon and colonel sauce.

bacon is ridiculously high in sodium and fat... as is the colonel sauce.
Really, the breading is just carbs and whatever grease it can absorb.

[BlooInBloo]

93. Fuck. Now I'm hungry.

[alfredo]

98. The Kentucky Hot Brown.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown

Ingredients

The Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich of turkey and bacon, covered in Mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown. Many Hot Browns also include ham with the turkey, and either pimentos or tomatoes over the sauce, and imitation Hot Browns sometimes substitute a commercial cheese sauce instead of the Mornay sauce, but fans of the dish usually decry this substitution. Some restaurants even offer a 'veggie brown' nowadays to attract vegetarians, as the recipe is easy to modify with avocado, or, less commonly, soy burger.


(the veggie hot brown using eggplant can be found at Ramsey's in Lexington Ky)

This one is from Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, Ky Highly recommended by "Road Food" and me. Lynn is an old friend.

[paulsby]

99. there are also plenty of menu items from haute cuisine and gourmet

restaurants that are equally as bad or worse.

however, they are not required to provide nutrition information

just because a dish costs $45 doesn't make it nutritious

nor should it be, necessarily

there is a time and a place for saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, etc.

[CTyankee]

113. The French eat really fat laden Brie and they are not fat themselves.

isn't the reason that they eat a lot LESS of it. They control portion size. You can eat well and eat less...the French are living examples of it. What I don't understand is why Americans can't do that?

[dionysus]

121. and they walk everywhere. americans are mostly loathe to walk.

[paulsby]

130. which kind of proves my point

no single meal makes you fat

no single food item

it is about, to borrow a term, the TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES

i have a friend, a pro bodybuilder, who would eat mcdonald's once a week WHILE he was dieting and getting down under 8% bodyfat

mcd's isn't to blame. PEOPLE are to blame.

[dionysus]

132. i totally agree.

[Mind_your_head]

101. *belch*

(excuse me)

ehm, americans have gone waaaaaaaay over the top with their food "choices" (aka, GLUTTONY).

[Enthusiast]

106. It's outrageous but

I don't want restaurants regulated and restricted in what they chose to offer the consumer. No one is forced to eat these things.

[Ikonoklast]

109. Yes they are, according to some here.

"But some people have no choice other than eating fast food."

This is the single most ridiculous statement I ever read here, and people post it all the time, even though it's nonsense.

You mean to tell me that no matter how desperate your situation, you can find a greasy burger joint but can't find someone to sell you Quaker Oats?

Hell, even the corner gas station here sells that.

[Enthusiast]

114. And most of the fast food restaurants

do at least now offer some healthy alternatives. I have had the salads from my local McDonald's, they were not bad at all.

[MUAD_DIB]

125. I can see that you don't live in a poor neighborhood.

Here's just a few bits of information to make you think next time.

"When I began working at McDonald's, many people asked me why they, and other fast food restaurants, tend to cater to poor minorities. The answer is simple: Educated people, of any color or nationality, know better than to consume harmful products. Educated people are willing to spend a little bit more money to eat healthier foods. But poor minorities often don't have that choice."



It is not all a lie and an illusion that the working poor have a poorer diet.

134. Look at the population of some of the inner city McD's the next time you happen

to be in one or walk by.

I'll bet you'll see working poor.
