    My man, the hot girls in Jersey would fade into the background like shrubs down here. It's ridiculous.

    Hells Yeah. Welcome to the South -- just hang on to your Jersey accent, the gals down here tend to dig the Northern talk. Mine is definitely more of a Long Island accent, but I guess it's "exotic" enough. lol

    Some Aussie input

    bite at Hungry Jack's fat stackBy Matt Williams
    September 03, 2008 12:29am

    A FAST-food chain's sale of a 4520-kilojoule hamburger is irresponsible and a sign the industry is ignoring health warnings about obesity, experts say.

    TV commercials are promoting the Hungry Jack's Quad Stack Burger, which contains four beef patties, four slices of cheese, two rashers of bacon, barbecue sauce and two sugared buns.

    It contains 71g of fat, 34.7g of saturated fat, 1930 milligrams of sodium and 74.8g protein.

    The burger, which sells for $5.95, has no salad and the calorie content equates to more than half a woman's recommended daily energy intake and almost one-third of a man's.

    Dietitian Tanya Lewis said Hungry Jack's was being irresponsible in selling the new burger.

    "I was quite surprised that with so much media about healthy eating and the whole anti-supersize thing that they would come out and do the exact opposite," she said.

    "I wasn't too impressed when I saw it on the TV, and even the people who watched it with me, who weren't dietitians, said the same thing. It was a bit like 'what are they thinking?'.

    "It seems a bit irresponsible to me - even the way they're marketing it, you would think they might offer a free salad with it to try to even things up but they haven't even done that."

    Since 2006, the same burger has been sold by the Hungry Jack's equivalent in the US, Burger King, sparking similar outrage there and across the globe.

    In that time, companies such as McDonald's and KFC have introduced healthy alternatives on their Australian menus while providing nutrition information of their products.

    Associate Professor Jane Scott, from Flinders University's Nutrition and Dietetics department, said burgers like the Quad were often marketed as a challenge.

    "It challenges people to over-consume and this is just overkill," Prof Scott said.

    "Once you've had one of these burgers, all you can really eat for the day is fruit and vegies as you've already reached your daily intake in most of the food groups."

    All I can say is that the Buffalo Chicken Burger at Checkers blows monkey chunks. STAY AWAY!

    Is that the burger that is basically just a regular chicken sandwich blasted with hot sauce?

    SO I went out boozin' last night for no particular reason -- then, who needs a reason? I went to this relatively new bar called "Trapeze" -- kind of a Belgium Beer Garden type of place with tons of awesome beers. I had a few of these beers called "Arrogant Bastard" (which I think someone started a thread about a while back).

    Anyway, after the Boozin', you know I had to do some BURGIN'! It was after 2am, so the only place open nearby was Huddle House. I ordered one of these bad-boys . . .

    Just basically a bacon double cheeseburg'. I doused it with hot-sauce, and paid the price. I was up all night with some sick indigestion. The burg was decent. It would have scored higher if not for the unpleasantness afterward.

    This bar near my job makes a good one, its got this thick hot sauce and they loaded it up with a shit load of bleu cheese and the hot sauce mixed with bleu cheese dressing, the chicken is fried. It's amazing.
