Deep-Fried Bacon Double Cheeseburger: Too Far?

posted by on May 29 at 13:31 PM

You thought deep-fried bacon cheese hot dogs were off the charts, but check it out: This guy beer-battered and deep-fried a bacon double quarter-pounder from McDonald’s. (He is, somewhat surprisingly, Australian). The end result—a puffy fried sandwich resting in a pool of grease beside a pile of double-fried French fries—actually looks sort of pretty, but I have trouble believing this guy ate the whole thing in one sitting. For a photographic play-by-play, go here.

If you're surprised he's Australian, you haven't met very many Australians.

'End result' is redundant. Although I shouldn't be surprised, considering your past history of totally destroying English grammar.

Oh come on, I'd take a bite. Maybe one per decade.

I'm glad to see that he started with two burgers and had to fry his own bacon. I was a little jealous at first cuz I thought that other countries had double bacon cheese quarter pounders. But, it looks like he had to make his own.

Double deep-frying is God's way of telling you She's calling you to Heaven a bit sooner than you think.

You have to let the bacon fat soak the bun first.

Once again Slog has triggered a massive food craving. Last week it was Cheez-its, now I want fast food.

Curses!

This heart attack in burger form was actually fried by Dana Sibera, who was also responsible for pranking a number of newspapers and magazines a while back - see http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s1406194.htm - and she's a she not a he.

ECB types "this guy" with such contempt. its as if he defiled mcdonald's somehow by creating this burger. I know girls who are way more obsessed with fried things than I am... (looking at ECB, for example)

ps when the web page is signed "-kath." i would assume that it is a lady signing. I can't think of any guys' names that begin kath-
kath-ander?

To me that's just an overstuffed glorified
Monte Cristo sandwich, with the exception that it has that nasty cardboard tasting beef that McDonald's uses.

Um ... "too far" for what, exactly? To eat anything you want?

What brand of diet soda did he swig to wash down the burger?

Don't hate on diet soda + fast food. It cuts grease in your mouth and throat better than syrupy sodas.

Nos. 10 & 11: D'oh! This is the type of thing I automatically classify as guy food. Next time I'll read more closely.
