    One of the many reasons I am happy to be a practicing Muslim :) My religion prevents me from eating that death sentence. But of course, there many death sentences to go around. Like the Ft. Worth Ribeye at Texas Roadhouse. That is so good!!! But if I eat those regularly, I won't live to get Social Security :)

    the sesame seed bun seemed to ruin a perfectly good sandwich, but for some reason the bigger picture really made it seem better. still not crazy about the bun (and i don't like cheese) but a big sandwich with bacon, egg, and sausage (fast food sausage, at least mcd's, is great) sounds good to me.

    i've never had a mcgriddles, but if they taste like what i think, then it would be good if they came in that size, too.

    unfortunately i'm trying to lose a little weight right now so i'm not sure when i'll try either.


    and damn on that hardees burger. i didn't know there was a single food item (unless you count a whole pizza as a single item) capable of packing in 1400 calories, much less the 107 grams of fat. that's friggin' insane. the big ass omelette is a light snack by comparison.

    I agree that the sesame seed bun is a turnoff. I prefer how McDonald's uses english muffins in its breakfast sandwiches (or biscuits). They should do something similar with this.

    But like FFB, I'd also hit it. ;)

    now if this only came out a year or 2 ago, the movie may have been "Harold and Kumar go to Burger King"

    for me nothing beats a sausage or bacon crossianwich. i'd try one of these but the sesame seed bun turns me off as well. if they somehow came up with a giant croissant and fit all that crap in there i'd probably eat it.

    If I was creating breakfast sandwhiches for BK, I'd create the Whoffle. Totally steal the McGriddle idea, but instead make a waffle sandwhich with syrup crystals baked in. Oh, and if for some reason you haven't figured out why I'd spell it "Whoffle," it's because of the "Whopper."

    Hey if they added a sugary, fatty McGriddle carbo wrapper instead of the chicken sandwich bun, I think they might even be able to challeng the Hardee burger.

    At last. A late afternoon food thread that doesn't leave me craving a late afternoon snack.

    Why are people freaking out about this sandwich???

    Ingredients:

    2 eggs
    1 sausage patty
    2 strips bacon
    2 pieces of cheese
    1 sesame seed bun.

    Seriously, I've had this exact breakfast at IHOP or Denny's or any other restaurant for years. It just wasn't in sandwich form.

    Crap. Now I'm craving a Moon over MyHammy sandwich.
