Top 10 Outrageous Fast Food Items

When the iconic Big Mac was introduced in the late-1960s, people were like “whoa, that’s huge.” But now, some people think it’s inadequate. Luckily, for those people who see the Big Mac as a small snack or an hors d’oeuvre, there’s the Double Big Mac – also know as the Mega Mac – available in countries like Canada, Australia and parts of Asia. This monstrosity has four patties in place of the regular two. And in addition to the extra beef, the sandwich also boasts extra fat, cholesterol and calories, all helping to cement its place in the top 10 – and in your arteries.

We’re thinking 8/10 people would say, “there’s never too much bacon.” That’s why Wendy’s created this sandwich in 2007 – well, that and they were trying to entice young people into late-night snacking. Branding it with a menacing-sounding name that automatically brings a certain Schwarzenegger movie to mind, Wendy’s built one intimidating burger. As if the two ¼-pound patties, juicy bacon and 900+ calories weren’t scary enough, the Baconator’s also the official burger of the Canadian Football League. And that’s good, since professional athletes are probably the only people to get enough exercise to burn off one of these bad-boys.

Carl’s Jr. may be best known for their series of commercial featuring hot celebs and models eating food in sexually suggestive ways. Are we really surprised they have outrageous menu items? Their behemoth Breakfast Burger is based on the belief that hamburgers are suitable breakfast fare as long as they’re topped with enough bacon, eggs and hash browns – as well as some cheese and ketchup, of course. At 800 calories, this combo of breakfast and lunch ingredients is actually calorically equivalent to eating breakfast and lunch simultaneously – but we’re thinking you might wanna skip dinner too.

This item is exactly what it sounds like: a sandwich featuring every type of meat available at Arby’s. The concoction, which was originally just a picture on a poster intended to inform customers that Arby’s offers more than their well-known roast beef, contains an eye-popping combination of meats –including but not limited to: roast turkey, ham, corned beef, and chicken tenders, with some bacon and cheese thrown in for good measure. The Meat Mountain is actually on Arby’s’ secret menu so there’s no official nutritional information available, but estimated calorie counts clock in at about 1,200; as much as some people eat in an entire day.

First, there were bacon burgers, BLTs, and club sandwiches. Next came maple bacon donuts, bacon-themed restaurants, and even an informal U.S. holiday, International Bacon Day, arrived. Now, in an effort to either prove the popular idea that bacon really does go with everything, or to show that it’s impossible to mess up ice cream, this 510-calorie concoction literally adds a little meat to your hot fudge and caramel sundae. Love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure: if you try it, you’ll never forget it.

If you’ve ever wanted tacos for breakfast or to eat waffles with your hands, your wish has been granted. To compete in the ever-growing breakfast fast food market, Taco Bell launched a breakfast menu in 2012, but the Waffle Taco takes the… well, taco. Instead of a tortilla, this item has a waffle-shaped like a taco shell. In place of beef or chicken, the waffle shell is filled with eggs and a choice of sausage or bacon. If the mysteriously curved waffle isn’t reason enough to try one, it also comes with syrup on the side so you don’t have to eat hot sauce at 7:00 in the morning.

When a server in a nurse’s uniform brings your order, you know you’re in trouble. Depending on the size of your appetite, or the intensity of your urge to taunt cardiologists everywhere, you can order the Single, Double, Triple, or Quadruple Bypass Burger at the Heart Attack Grill. The Las Vegas, Nevada medical-themed restaurant not only serves cholesterol-laden burgers ironically named after a surgical procedure used to clear clogged arteries, it also offers free single bypasses – the burger not the operation, although that’d also come in handy – to customers who weigh more than 350 pounds.

If you have a huge appetite and an inability to make decisions, or your kids are fighting because one wants to go to the burger place and the other wants pizza, don’t despair! With this item, known alternately as the Cheeseburger Pizza Crust or the Crown Crust Pizza depending on which country you’re in, you can have pizza AND burgers, as well as family harmony, at the same time. There’s just one catch: like the Cone Crust Pizza, another one-of-a-kind and similarly over-the-top Pizza Hut offering, it’s only available at restaurant locations in the Middle East – at least, for now.

This burger, which originated as a joke ad in a magazine, was never intended to be a real menu item, but for a while it actually existed at one location in Manitoba, Canada. Featuring nine ¼-pound patties, it cost $21.99 just for the sandwich, but if that wasn’t enough to quiet your growling stomach you could get the combo meal for a cool $24.99. If you’d like to try one, you’re too late; the franchise stopped offering it after receiving too much bad publicity – and a warning from Wendy’s headquarters.

Before we dig into our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:

- Premium Kuro Burger [Black-Bunned Burger]
Burger King

- Doritos Locos Tacos
Taco Bell

- McRib
McDonald’s

- Stuffed Cheeseburger
Harvey’s

Who needs a bun when you can use two slabs of chicken to hold together a sandwich made of two types of cheese, some bacon, and a spicy mayonnaise sauce? Launched in 2010 as an April Fools’ joke, KFC’s Double Down is available with original or grilled boneless chicken breasts as its bread; grilled is healthier, but original offers more texture for easier gripping. Another variation – the Zinger Double Down KING, sold in Korea –Ok takes the concept a step further: it’s basically a bacon cheeseburger with spicy, deep fried chicken patties serving as the bun. Or, you may prefer the Philippines’ Double Down Dog, which is a cheese-filled chicken hotdog wrapped in the trademark chicken bun. If you hate carbs but don’t mind greasy hands, this might just be your perfect sandwich.
