4,800 Calorie Burger - Only in America
March 31, 2009
West Michigan Whitecaps Baseball Park is now offering a 4,800 calorie burger. Apparently trying to cook up comfort food amidst the recession. The offer is that if anyone is daring enough to eat the monstrosity of a burger they will get a free t shirt with it.
The burger contains five beef patties, chilli, salsa, sour cream, nacho-style cheese, Frito chips, lettuce, tomato, 5 slices of American cheese and a massive bun to hold it all in.
According to Scott Lane, Whitecaps president:
“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.”
The burger weighs more than double the recommended daily calorie intake; the burger contains 300 grams of fat, 744 milligrams of cholesterol and over 10,000 milligrams of sodium.
Scott Lane added:
“At home, people eat healthy. When they come to a game, they might eat a hot dog.”
So that’s why American has such an obesity problem, because everyone eats so healthy?!
