Extreme Fast Food
kfernandez on Nov 17th 2009
This past weekend while flicking through the boring weekend shows I came across a show entitled “Extreme Fast Food” on the Travel channel. This show basically featured some of the most outrageous and creative marketing fast food restaurants across the country. The goods ranged from sandwiches that were over stuffed with ingredients galore; a drive-thru coffee shop with girls that serve in costumes–Bikini Wednesdays or Cowgirl Thursday; and even featured the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream parlor in Vermont who serve a sundae called the “Vermonster” which contains 20 scoops of ice cream, 10 spoonfuls of walnuts, bananas, brownies and a whole bunch of other toppings then they topped it with a mile-high serving of fresh whipped cream–they said it had over 14,000 calories!!
The most interesting and disgusting of them all was a burger joint owned by an ex-nutritionist. It was made to look like an emergency room, the servers were nurses and the owner dressed up and called himself “Doc.” You were able to receive unlimited servings of french fries and if you took on the challenge of eating one of their biggest burgers you qualified to eat for FREE FOR LIFE! Also, if you weigh over 300 lbs you eat for FREE.
The most shocking of it all was the fact that the burgers served at this restaurant were slathered with lard!! OH EM GEE! I was definitely shocked.
To continue with their emergency room theme the customers are treated like patients and are pushed in wheel chairs to their cars if they drove.
The owner claimed that during his years as a practicing nutritionist he realized that none of his patients were ever able to keep a diet and would always end up going back to their old eating habits. He took advantage of this and is now helping people die faster but happier?
I guess. =\

Geross.. I want to watch that though…
Dig on this.. super gross but sooo entertaining : http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/
Emergency room themed? So they’ve decided to just bypass the whole lawsuit and make sure that when you have a heart attack from the lard-slathered burgers, you’re right where you need to be? That’s disgusting.
lmao ewwwwwwww! just looking at that burger is making me FAT!
My mouth literally dropped open as I read this blog. That is positively insane!! It’s ridiculous what people will do to make money, even at the expense of others, Such as their lives.
So, Kisbel, given the nation’s new obsession with obesity, what can we make of this blatant addiction to high calories. What do these bad food shows say?
I think that people will eat what they want to eat at the end of the day. i was watching a show on cnbc last night and they were saying that some european countries actually charge people for being overweight to encourage them to slim down. there are healthy food shows on “fit tv” and “the food network.”
Well, it shows that no matter how many people speak out about their concerns regarding obesity and high cholesterol, as long as we have people that are willing to pay for food that would essentially harm them, businesses will continue to open and provide the goods!
Where there’s a market, there’s a profit.
That is one artery clogging thing; I can’t begin to call it food!
Oh man … thanks for sharing the story! xD
Disgusting. I can’t believe that there are actually people like that out there.
