The 7 Hamburgers of the Apocalypse

by Gerald "Gerry" Pugliese
Hamburgers, next to apple pie and statins--they're the ambassadors of American cuisine--for better or for worse--and these harbingers of heart disease might be the baddest of all.

Here are 7 over the top hamburgers that are guaranteed to clog your arteries by just looking that them:

1. The Quadruple Bypass Burger

The Quadruple Bypass Burger from the Heart Attack Grill; four burger patties with side orders of Jolt Cola, unfiltered Lucky Strike cigarettes and French fries deep-fried in pure lard. http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/QuadHeartAttack.jpg (http://flickr.com/photos/73746571@N00/328104322/)

2. Big Daddy Barrick Burger

Sonya Thomas, a 5'5 99-pound competitive eating champion (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?o=2&f=/gate/archive/2005/05/26/eat.DTL), downed an 18 pound Big Daddy Barrick Burger in Las Vegas a few years ago. http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/BigDaddyBarrickBurger.jpg (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/g/a/2005/05/26/eat.DTL&o=2)

3. The Hotdog Hamburger

This one hails from England (http://www.slashfood.com/2008/06/18/hotdog-hamburger-in-the-uk/). I'm not sure what it's called, but it's a hamburger with a chopped hotdog on top.

4. Mulligan's Monster

Mulligan's (http://www.myspace.com/mulligansatl) invented the Hamdog, one hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and cheese, then deep-fried, covered with chili and onions and served on a bun with a fried egg on top.

5. Dyer's Burgers

Dyer's Burgers (http://www.dyersonbeale.com/) are deep-fried hamburgers piled with mustard, onion and pickle and paired with a single, double or triple-order of cheese fries.

6. Whatafarm Burger

Whataburger (http://www.whataburger.com/) puts the entire farm in one sandwich; bacon, cheese, fried egg, burger patty, and chicken cutlet. They affectionately call it the "Whatafarm" burger. http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/Farmburger.jpg (http://www.aboutcolonblank.com/2008/06/06/an-entire-farm-in-a-burger/)

7. Luther Burger

Another Mulligan's creation, the Luther Burger. Named after Luther Vandross it's a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two glazed donuts.

[smuggie]

[TriciaE]

Oh how gross, but my curiosity is going for the burger and donut combination.

I'm off to do some cardio - just looking at these makes me feel like I'm gaining weight. :lol:

[Blondell]

I think my heart just began to hurt. :lol:


They DO look good though. :yum:

[LifeLova]

Hamburgers & fries is my weakness but these look SO gross! :sick:

:grin:

I'm with you girl!! They don't look gross to me at all. Just gimme a fork and knife! :laugh:

[jills]

It reminds me of McDonald's McGriddles (the breakfast sandwiches with little pancakes for "bread"!). I :love: those!!

When I'm in Texas in September, I guarantee I'll be hitting Whataburger for one of those Whatafarm burgers :hehe:

[bfire]

My stomach felt sick just looking at those pics....ughhh

[Brandy]

I'll take a #7 supersized please, with a side of ranch for my fries. :grin:
And a diet coke.

I always feel silly ordering a diet Coke when I'm out for a cheat meal and get the appetizers, the entree, and the so-big-you-need-to-share-it dessert! :lol3:
Edited to add: of course I don't eat all this by myself (I can just see Meechel calling me on it! :funny:)

[Erik]

I always order Diet Coke with my meals - no matter how 'bad' they are.

Coke tastes like syrup.

Me too. I hate drinking my calories- I love food too much! That's why I hardly ever get a latte on my cheat meals. I'd rather eat the scone or muffin!

[Cathie]

Seriously .... not one of those burgers looks even remotely appetizing :puke:

And how the heck does that 99 lb. women eat a burger almost 1/5 her weight??

If you've ever seen an eating contest it's always the little guys that win

Wow, anything that is sandwiched between a donut already sounds wrong...especially when it's a greasy burger!

This summer when I was doing AT with the Army we were in the tourist capital of the South: Gatlinburg, TN and I kid you not, there were between 3-5 places (if not more) that specialized in ALL of these, plus others that I've forgotten:
Deep Fried Oreos
Deep Fried Twinkies
Deep Fried Butterfingers

After I saw the deep fried broccoli at college, nothing surprises me anymore!

I think in Japan they serve deep-fried icecream. I heard that one's pretty yummy actually. Hmm...
