Add this to the list :shock:

Ball park to sell monster 4,800-calorie burger

Posted Fri Mar 27, 2009 1:10am AEDT

A baseball park in Michigan has created an artery-busting hamburger containing 4,800 calories and is daring fans to eat the "snack", promising a free T-shirt to anyone who succeeds.

In an apparent bid to cook up some comfort food during hard economic times, the West Michigan Whitecaps are offering fans a behemoth dubbed the Fifth Third Burger, named after the team's ball park and the meal's five beef patties, which each weigh 136 grams.

The burger is smothered with chilli, salsa, sour cream and a dollop of melted nacho-style cheese - topped off with Frito chips, lettuce, tomato and five slices of American cheese and laid out in a bun made with 454 grams of dough.

"Besides being unique and large and bizarre, it tastes good," Whitecaps president Scott Lane told the Grand Rapids News.

"I'm sure there are going to be crazies that come down and try to eat the entire thing."

In addition to weighing in at more than double the US daily recommended caloric intake, the Fifth Third Burger contains nearly 300 grams of fat, 744 milligrams of cholesterol and more than 10,000 milligrams of sodium, the paper said.

Mr Lane shrugged off the health implications inherent in taking on the Fifth Third.

"At home, people eat healthy. When they come to a game, they might eat a hot dog."

Yes Jingjai, some mouth-watering stuff there. It all looks good to me, and I believe that I have eaten (at least a few times) just about everything listed. However, now that I'm a little older and a bit more health conscious, I do not indulge as I once did.

One interesting aspect of the list was the number of dishes that had a foreign influence "of sorts". If you count the two Chili's dishes as mexican (?) eleven, or more than 50%, of the twenty dishes were either Italian (3), Chinese(1), Mexican(6), or Australian(1). Seems like American food is having a hard time staying strictly American. Our melting pot has become a fondue. So much for the better, I say. Even if it's not pure ethnic food, it helps to make our American food all the more interesting.

Now if we could just figure out a way export our true American food (you know; fried chicken, hamburgers, pizza, tex-mex and 69 flavors of ice cream to the rest of the world, wouldn't that be great! It's a shame to deprive so many people of such wonderful stuff. Who knows, it could happen. :roll:

Let me assure you there is no Australian dish on that list.

What is described as "Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing" at position #1 has no relationship with Oz, other than the name.

For that matter, the Outback Steakhouse restaurant also shares little relationship with Oz, being the creature of a Florida based company.

Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing.

You would know better than me jackspratt. Key to the reference in the first sentence; "foreign influence "of sorts". I've eaten the cheese frieds at Outback and never considered them to be Australian food.

Outback steak restaurent in Siam Discovery - BKK is crap.

A franchised food rip off would be my comment. Very expensive and poorly cooked steaks.

Looks pretty tasty in my book too.
Perhaps, my original title to this thread ought to have read: "20 Worst Foods [from a health standpoint] in America"?
As I read through the description of each of these "worst foods", the hungrier I got.

I think the key here (for me anyway) is: everything in moderation.
