Hearing Heroes -- David Bowie
Look at it: It's positively congealed with fat:
Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito - two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.
Brad Haley, marketing chief for the St. Louis-based fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.
"It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.
Oh, sure. To take with you while you're jogging.
These are the same guys who make a 1,400-calorie burger, which would be about 70% of your recommended caloric intake for the day. Add this, you're already heading for chubsville. And you would still have dinner to look forward to.
I'm not saying you shouldn't eat this; I admit it looks tasty to me, although I think it's a travesty of the "burrito" concept, as are all breakfast burritos that don't feature chorizo. Just, you know. Have a light lunch afterward, okay? Thanks.

Chorizo is good... but has Linguica made it out to the midwest? You may not have the requisite Portagee population... but it's the best thing to top a pizza with, if you ask me.

You deserve the explosive diarrhea you'd get eating that for mixing poultry and pig in the same sandwich.
