    Hungry Jacks is the same a Burger King, so you probably do.

    Don't know why they had to re-name it in Australia?

    edit: here is why

    [edit] History of "Burger King" in Australia
    When Burger King moved to expand its operations into Australia, it found that its business name was already trademarked by takeaway food shop in Adelaide.[1] As a result, Burger King provided the Australian franchisee, Jack Cowin, with a list of possible alternative names derived from pre-existing trademarks already registered by Burger King and its then corporate parent Pillsbury that could be used to name the Australian restaurants. Cowin selected the "Hungry Jack" brand name, one of Pillsbury's US pancake mixture products, and slightly changed the name to a possessive form by adding an apostrophe 's' forming the new name Hungry Jack's.[2] The first Australian franchise of Burger King Corporation was established in Perth in 1971, under the auspices of Cowin's new company Hungry Jack's Pty, Limited.[3

    did some lower-carb burgin saturday.

    Two 99 cent 'double stacks from wendy's, combine the meat and use the 2 bottom buns. A carb-friendly quadruple cheeseburger. 2 bucks. Scrumptious.

    Creative. Nice way to throw a wrench into Wendy's "would you like beef w/ your burger" system! One point for the consumer.

    Why didn't I think of this?

    This is just an awesome idea. A burg using two grilled cheese sandwiches for buns! I'm so going to try this.

    Double meat with tons of bacon and extra cheese -- and an additional grilled cheese sandwich in the middle. Oh, yes. OH YES! My salivary glands are weeping with Burg Lust!

    I had decided to go on a cheap Burgin run and had 2 Smokehouse bufords from Checkers. I was pleased with the burger.

    How appropriate, I just got back from lunch (it's 2pm here). I walked past a Burger King and into some Japanese noodle joint and ate a completely unsatisfying bowl of noodle soup. Trying to watch my weight atm. I walked back past the Burger King, saddened by what I had become. I should've Burged dammit.

    WTF?
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/03/broadcasts/main1680067.shtml

    CBS) It could be the world's unhealthiest snack. The ultimate in fast-food indulgence is cooked up, not by a restaurant chain, but by a minor-league baseball club, reports CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers.

    Despite having a charming ballpark just outside St. Louis, the Gateway Grizzlies will likely never be renowned for their brand of baseball ? one step below Single-A ball.

    But they're already famous at the concession stand. Or should that be infamous?

    It's sweet like a doughnut, and then you've got the hamburger. You?ve read that right. It's a burger with cheese and bacon, sandwiched between a Krispy Kreme doughnut ? a heart attack waiting to happen. A burger so perfect, they say, tampering is discouraged.

    ?You're ruining it! You're not supposed to put ketchup on it!? Bowers says to a diner.

    ?Well, I don't know. It's my first time,? he replies.

    For a mere $4.50 it's breakfast, dinner, and a little dessert all in one. That it packs up to 1,000 calories ? the donut alone has 10 grams of sugar ? doesn't seem to faze diabetic diner Floyd Schuetz.

    ?Oh, I?ll have another one of these,? he says.

    Nor does it faze three fans ? two in their 80s ? who passed up the peanuts and crackerjacks for this.

    Asked if she was worried about the health ramifications, Betty Osborne says ?No, not tonight. Tonight I'm living it up.?

    After trying a bite ? Bowers says she would normally never eat a burger like this, but she would make the sacrifice in the interest of journalistic integrity ? she says it is better than she expected.

    ?I don?t know that I would do this again, but it?s pretty good,? says Bowers.

    The Grizzlies say "cheesy" gimmicks like this are crucial to the team's bottom line.

    ?With minor league baseball we have to work extremely hard to get fans to come out here,? says the Grizzlies? Jeff O?Neill.

    Which begs the question ? what's next?

    ?We were in the concession stand the other day trying to come up with 'Baseball's Best Pizza.' "

    Let?s just hope it's not going to be be on a Krispy Kreme crust.

    As if there weren't enough reasons to visit St. Louis! This seals the deal for me -- time to book a flight for next minor league season.
