Toronto, June 23 (ANI): A burger joint in the US has come up with a sandwich that has 1,500 calories, which is equivalent to nearly three KFC bun-less, fried chicken Double Downs.
Massachusetts-based chain Friendly’s new Grilled Cheese Burger Melt is a hefty beef patty buttressed between two oozing, grilled cheese sandwiches.
The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt’s calorie count is about half the estimated energy requirement of an active adult male.
It also contains 97 grams of fat, more than triple the amount in a Big Mac, and 2,090 mg of sodium, far more than the recommended 1,500 mg daily intake.
Food bloggers are calling the newest creation from Friendly’s the “KFC Double Down on steroids,” “the latest food atrocity” and a “monstrosity.”
Friendly’s, meanwhile, is inviting customers to try it for themselves.
“You’ll have to taste it to believe it,” the Globe and Mail quoted the company’s website as saying. (ANI)
