While much of the world lives with hunger, the turducken reigns over the kitchens exploiting the food gap between the haves and the have nots. A turducken stuffs a chicken into a duck that is then stuffed into a turkey and cooked.
In an effort to outdo the other hamburger joints, the race is on to make a burger that feeds 100 but can be eaten by one person. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in PA serves a hamburger weighing 123 pounds. Not to be outdone, Mallie's Sports Grill and Bar in Michigan fries up a 185-pound burger. Burger prices range in price from $400 to $500. Burger fans not wishing to travel can pull through fast food restaurants for burgers weighing in at one to four pounds.
Traditionalists may not classify a martini as a food item, but the drink certainly makes the ridiculous list for dining items. The Oyster Bar at the world famous Algonquin Hotel in New York City serves a $10,000 martini, advertised as the world's most expensive drink. The ice is actually a ring selected from the hotel's jewelry store and added to the drink before it is served.
The Mayo Clinic reports that the typical American fast food large soda is packed with 500 calories and 140 grams of sugar. That's one-quarter of a normal 2,000 calorie diet total for an entire day. In an attempt to attract diners, many fast food restaurants now offer a massive soda with more than this 40 ounce cup. The totals come in at one-half of the daily recommended calories for an adult. Outrageous.
The total calories for a single slice of cheese pizza made with original crust top the charts at more than 300 calories. Choose a piece with a stuffed cheese crust and double the calorie count. When pepperoni is added to the top, the total hovers near 700 calories for a single slice. The amount of fat registers at more than 212 grams.
We have taken this to the extreme and it is ridiculous.
What a fun list! Very informative! H5!
