You’ve
seen plenty of restaurants that offer a “dare you to eat it” entree
that appeals to total gastronomes, or more likely, journalists and
bloggers who are willing to give free advertising to something
outrageous. In addition to extreme meals that you can get for free if
you finish all of it, there are more and more extreme meal combos that
appear to give you a lot of bang for your buck. They might intrigue your
palate, but your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, not to mention
your metabolism.
“Think you can handle this Whole
Hog Burger?” asks the menu at Uno Pizzeria & Grill (129 locations).
“OVER A POUND OF MEAT. Hamburger, sausage, bacon, prosciutto and
pepperoni. PLUS–Four types of cheese, garlic mayo & pickles. With
fries & onion rings. Extra napkins free!”
Exta calories,
too! Enough to hit 2,850—more than a 24- hour supply. And don’t forget
the three days’ worth of sat fat (62 grams), six-day stockpile of sodium
(9,790 mg), and white-flour bun! You might as well eat four McDonald’s
Quarter Pounders with Cheese and two medium fries doused with 18 packets
of salt.
That’s just one of eight extreme meals you can pig out on. The Center for Science in the Public Interest compiled
a list of menu offerings from restaurants that tip the scales in volume, calories, salt, or just plain overindulgence.
