If so, I know you're going to want to rush out and wrap your lips around one of these:
Carl's Jr. Stuffs Hot Dogs and Potato Chips Into a Burger for America
The latest sandwich from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's stuffs an entire Fourth of July barbecue into one burger — all in the name of patriotism, of course. According to USA Today, the chain — which loves its slutburger commercials — will launch The Most American Thickburger on May 20.
The sandwich practically bleeds stereotypical American foods: The trend-satisfying burger consists of one-third of a pound of beef, a grilled hot dog split into two, a layer of that magically processed dairy product known as American cheese, and some Lay's Kettle Cooked Potato Chips for good measure. Add in a giant soda and a slice of apple pie, and it's the perfect all-American meal.
I'll bet your mouth's watering just reading that...
And of course to go along with this gastronomic delight, you'll want to get an order of Carl's Pepperoni Fries:
Carl's Jr. is testing a new product that merges — Cronut-like — two of America's favorite fast foods: French fries and pepperoni pizza. The meat-cheese-fried-potato jumble is called Pepperoni Fries, and USA Today confirms that the snack — which turned up as an internet rumor last week — is in stores now and priced at $2.39.
Loosely based upon already-popular fried creations like chili cheese fries and poutine, the fries are not meat-based, but are instead French fries topped with fried meat. Will pepperoni fries unseat disco fries as a millennial's go-to late night snack? Carl's Jr. hopes so. Brad Haley, chief marketing officer for the chain told USA Today, "It may look like a mess — but it's messy good."
Pepperoni Fries are the latest in a long line of French fry-based creations Carl's Jr. has rolled out over the years. Last year, the chain tested Bacon Ranch Fries, and in 2008 chili cheese fries hit Carl's Jr.'s menu.
What Rube said. That's not *my* all-American meal, it's just gross.

A days worth of calories and four days worth of fat and sodium. You should have a cardiologist on call if you decide to eat it.

Would one person eat one of those, or would you buy one and split it four ways?

This monstrosity aside, as fast food burgers go, Carl's Jr is actually better quality then most...
Looking on the Carl's Jr. website I note that their stores nearest to Chicago are in Ontario (Toronto/Waterloo/Guelph) and Oklahoma (Tulsa/OKC). (I guess I could go to one of those locations, eat one of those sandwiches, and then burn off the calories by walking back to Chicago... )
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I'm all for them coming to Australia, they look very healthy.*

That burger/hotdog/chips looks delicious, they just have to gert rid of the lettuce and tomato and lather on some mayo and ketchup and mustard.
No Carls/hardees around here though.
Feel free to have mine as well oldr; there was a time in my life when I might have eaten one (maybe even two), but no longer. And take all the mayo you want too.
My cholesterol is good. Good stuff is high, bad stuff is low. BP is 120/70 usually. Hit 130/80 once in a while. Only thing the doc told me to cut back on is sugary stuff. I was eating a lot of candy after I quite drinking. All is good now.
Biggest thing I need to do now is stop smoking.
Mine is OK too (both cholesterol and BP), and I want to keep it that way. But as I have gotten older those fatty and sugary food bacchanalia have begun to be less and less attractive to me. And I can no longer eat as much; I'll routinely bring half my dinner home from a restaurant and eat it the next day. Maybe it's a survival instinct, but I think it's in my interest.
I love a good meal, but I can't eat as much as I used to either. Small plates and half orders are a lovely thing!
(except pizza, which I can still almost eat all day. And steak. A really good grilled steak is just impossible to put down).
