Ameeeeerica, Ameeeerica, God shed his grace on theeeee

What about dessert?

Wow, if you ate that in one day, you would consume over the avg amount of calories a person SHOULD eat in a single day (2000ish).

Eat this, you don't need to eat again for the day.

Hot damn that looks tasty though....

@Ayo: Then don't eat it!

But they're soooo gooood. I want some now....

Here in Texas, we call them 'Merkun Freedom Fries. Then we wrap them in a tortilla with breakfast sausage and gravy.

@Ayo: 2300 is recomended, but that figure was made for people who move like a shelf stocker, but if you sit in an office, cubicle or desk all day, its more like 1600-1800 Cal.

in other news, Mr. Guy to eat at Outback Steakhouse tonight.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

but if you eat them every day you won't need to worry about: health insurance, your subprime mortgage resetting, or your bank VP identity thefting you cause you gonna be dead real soon now.

That might be the worst chain restaurant food item, but a local restaurant, Snuffer's, actually serves a cheddar cheese fries w/ a side of ranch dressing for 3500 calories according to the waitress.

There's this food where they stick a bunch of cheese and meat on top of a big piece of bread and it has a even more calories, its called a pizza, ever heard of it?

(calls to bf) Honey, I know where we're going to dinner tonight!

I dont order a meal at the outback, i always get these fries and a bloomin onion and im good for days.

Give me 2 orders!!!

I just posted a link to this in the burger thread. It is so vile. The pictures are especially vomitous.

I'm pretty sure those fries have Bacon in them too. Delicious....mouth watering...bacon.....

Don't blame this on America. This is all Australia's fault!!! Don't you ever see the TV commercials?

@drallison83: I would be SHOCKED if a local restaurant actually paid to have that measured.

I guess a guesstimate might be possible based on what's in em.

I have counted Calories in the past and have noticed some places who refuse to list (QUIZNOS). One reason I heard is the high cost of having the food evaluated for nutritional content. Any truth to that?

@drallison83:

"That might be the worst chain restaurant food item, but a local restaurant, the aptly named Snuffer's, actually serves a cheddar cheese fries w/ a side of ranch dressing for 3500 calories according to the waitress."

Corrected.

Oh god...bacon-cheese-ranch fries...
Just looking at the picture is artery-clogging.
That caloric count is twice of those Macaroni Grill pasta monstrosities aren't they?

These things are really f-in good. I order them pretty much every time I go to outback. Screw calories. This is taste heaven.

Yeah those fries from Outback are kick ass. lol... the pic is not of the actual fries, unless that's some weird to-go container.

I'm also familiar with the work of Snuffer's, and their food is waaaaaaaayyyy too salty. lol

One plate serves three people. It's an appetizer and a DELICIOUS Cheesy Bacon-y one at that. I will take that over a Bloomin' onion any day.

@drallison83: I've been eating at Snuffers for years; however, you can only eat those cheese fries about once every three months at the most.

Any guy caught eating this slab o' lard revokes the right forever to the term, "Hey, look at that fat chick."

Gods, I pity the women of the South. Except for the lesbian ones, of course.

I have a theory about food. You can add either bacon or chocolate to make just about any food on the planet better...

I think someone is taking a trip to BK and getting a triple whopper and cheese with an outback order out of these babies sometime soon. Maybe two orders.

@Trai_Dep: Where do I sign....

P.S. Skip the ranch and dip them in your Au Jus... or even better get Bloomin' Onion Sauce.

@darkjedi26: why is that an either or? POUR IT ON, BABY! (seriously, i put chocolate & bacon in my chili & it tastes freakin' awesome <-completely unbiased opinion).

oh, & it's not a chain, but i'm pretty sure i can beat this w/ my occasional friday treat from a local restaurant. i dubbed it the garbage burger w/ heart attack fries:

hand-formed, 1/2 lb. beef patty w/ cheddar, chili, jalapeños, onions, bacon & ditto on the fries. heaven.

I dunno. I kinda think this is the worst food in america.

I want those. Gimme gimme!

@gniterobot: getting it evaluated isnt all that difficult, but for some places portion control is. A place like quiznos should be no big deal, but when serving things like these fries, adding a few ounces too much cheese or ranch causes big shifts (hundreds of calories) so advertising them means it can be a liability.

barf

Worst Food In America: anything From Outback Steakhouse. FTFY, Meg.

@gniterobot: Actually, Quiznos now has nutritional info on their site. Think you have to go to the menu page, click which Item you want on the right side, scroll to the bottom and click "Show nutritional info". If you stay away from the sauces you can eat fairly well there (Lower cal/fat)

This is bad for you, but people eat it anyway and make jokes about it. Then they get fat and have heart problems and it jacks up my health insurance. When will there laws that allow insurance companies to base health insurance costs on how fat you are and what you eat and if you smoke?

Oh my God, I love those fries. Maybe I'm a Midwest rube but I love Outback... it's the only place where I always order an appetizer, main course, and dessert.

@XianZomby: My company's insurance makes smokers pay higher premiums. Honestly, it's the first insurance I've had as an adult. Is that not normal?

Ok, I'm officially a fat bastard. But even I had to pull my jaw off the floor when the wife and I went to Outback and saw this on the menu. I mean, what the heck?! Even at my most gluttonous I wouldn't dream of digging into this.
Still, I'd rather eat this than poutin. I still have nightmares after my time in Canada about that stuff. How come a Texan didn't invent that artery clogger?

holy crap i'm hungry now.

Im still confused as to why this kind of thing is a big deal. Nobody looks at that and says "boy am I ready to chow down on this low calorie treat!" Its bad for you, we know that. I for one am all for being able to kill myself with food.

@HeyHermano: I actually don't know the answer to this. But if they can't charge higher rates for people that willingly lead an unhealthy lifestyle, maybe they can reward people for losing weight, quitting smoking, and lowering their cholestrol. In fact, that's probably more politically correct then nailing fat people with higher premiums.

It needs some bacon!

I threw these up one time...I broke blood vessels around my eyes. Sad but true story.

@mbouchard: There's a concept. Maybe because they now list sandwiches that come in under 500 calories in the store?

@chstwnd: Holy jeebus, thats just NASTY. I thought that crap was all myth until you posted it.

@theirishscion:
Haha this totally made me crave Outback. I haven't had cheese fries in over a year!

@XianZomby:
My insurance deducts around $200 a year if you take their voluntary "healthy lifestyle" quiz and score above a certain percentage.
