My wife was appalled at the new Hardee’s commercials that feature the 4-pound Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub Burger. She couldn’t believe that such a thing existed. Well, feast your eyes on the all-new Beer Barrel Belly Buster. The news story describes it this way:
The burger comes with 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers – and a bun.
It costs $30.
“It can feed a family of 10,” said Denny Liegey Sr., the restaurant’s owner.
This is just sad. In fact, it makes me very, very angry at just how extravagant and wasteful the west can be.
