When you look at the our world of excess and surplus, it’s still striking to find something that just totally outdoes everything to date. Introducing the Philly Cheesesteak Monster Thickburger by Hardee’s; this massive feature is being promoted as the sandwich that serves ‘Meat as a condiment.” Take this measure completely literally; the sandwich is an extreme version of any meat sandwich, piled high with bacon, cheese, a 1/3 lb. beef patty, the classic Hardee’s style steak, and green peppers and onions. The veggies are more for the visual appeal; there’s not a chance they would survive the battle for nutrition with this behemoth.

Adding bacon to a burger is nothing new, but Hardee’s has taken it to paramount levels with the mound of sliced burger meat, sliced steak, and two types of cheese. If you dare find out the nutrition facts on this heart-failure-to-be, here you are: 930 calories, 63 grams of fat (24 grams of which are pure saturated), 52 grams of carbohydrates, and 41 grams of protein. Never mind that the bun and veggies literally disappear from view with the block of meat; it’s still a sandwich, and is priced at $3.99 in most markets.

If you plan to eat this and nothing else all day, you may effectively set yourself up for a day’s worth of energy. Still, with the high make up of just meat protein, this will be a surefire contributor to heart attacks and health-related problems. The Thickburger concept is a mainstay of Hardee’s fast food menu, with other introductions earlier this year. The Philly Cheesesteak is a tribute to the classic Philly-style Steak, and is likely the first fast-food sandwich to stack both ground beef and roast beef in the same offering.

Takeaways
  • The Philly Cheesesteak Monster Thickburger contains 930 calories and 63 grams of fat
  • The sandwich weighs almost 1/2 a pound all together
  • The sandwich is likely the first fast-food sandwich with both ground beef and sliced steak in one
