    What kind of breakfast sandwich could they make that would outdo the calories on this one? Aside from homemade 5000-calorie whatsis somebody else did.

    Looking at two other high-calorie breakfast sandwiches:

    Carl's Jr Breakfast Burger: 830 calories--hamburger patty, fried egg, bacon, hash browns, cheese, and ketchup!

    [​IMG]

    Burger King Enormous Omelet Sandwich: 730 calories--one sausage patty, two eggs, two American cheese slices, and three strips of bacon!

    [​IMG]

    I think the next breakfast sandwich someone will make at a fast-food or whatever restaurant will consist of:

    -Glazed coffee-flavored doughnut (do they make these? I know they've got chocolate and all, but I'm wondering if there's coffee-flavored ones) halves with syrup dots baked inside for the "bread"
    -1 sausage patty
    -1 hamburger patty
    -5 or so strips of bacon
    -some number of American cheese
    -2 fried eggs
    -hash brown patty
    -ketchup

    And if possible, they refry all of that, together. Let's see how many would be crazy enough to eat that sandwich.

    As an aspiring medical doctor, I shake my head in sadness at such "awesome" news.:( 

    And no, Aksmith, you're not alone with that feeling. My stomach also turned in a bad way seeing the pic.

    I'm a manager at a local Hardee's (Carl's Jr.), and I know a large sandwich when I see one. That donut burger leaves much to be desired. I however, have customised many sandwiches on my own at Hardee's. The largest so far is the 2 lb. Thickburger. The items on this sandwich included the following:
    1 Large Sesame Seeded Bun, lightly buttered and toasted
    0.8 oz of mayonnaise
    " " of ketchup
    " " of mustard (" " = ditto)
    4 slices of american cheese
    4 slices of swiss cheese
    4 strips of bacon
    5 dill pickle chips
    2 leaves of fresh iceburg lettuce
    3 tomato slices
    3 red onion slices
    4 - 1/2 lb 100% angus beef patties




    this monstrocity took me about 15 minutes, but I was able to eat the whole thing. My eventual goal is to eat that famous 5 lb. burger, but I can't remember who had it, or where the place was located.

    can anyone help me on this one?

    That doesn't even sound appealing and I love burgers and Krispy Kreme. A Glazed donut does not make a good bun on anything.

    Why not eat a big helping of batter dipped fried butter wrapped in bacon grease?

    I agree whole heartedly. I like burgers...I like Krispy Kreme...I would not like them wraped up into the same sandwich.

    you haven't had a donut till you've had one from our local donut chain the Donut Bank. Best donuts PERIOD! I've had Krispie Kreame and the PALE in comparison.. Sprinkles on a glazed donut? Bah. Sprinkles belong on a cake donut. Best sprinkled donut ever...

    wow, are they the ones that have the national contest that if you can eat it all +plus all the fixin's, within the time limit, that you don't have to pay for it?
    Even if it's not, that's just awesome that it's in Louisville. That's like only 1 1/2 drive time for me, just a skad south of Evansville, IN. woot.
