Fuddruckers

Fuddruckers

Fuddruckers is another example of a company enabling people to eat too much food. But first let me preface this commentary by saying that, so far, it is the only good hamburger place that I have found where they will cook the burgers medium-rare for you. However, the problems can outweigh the benefits. First, they sell burgers up to one pound in size. Then they use a large, buttered bun. Then you may order extra toppings for the hamburger. Next, you may order some sides such as french fries or onion rings. Of course, you need a soda to go with that. Then, place free toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, mayonnaise). Don’t forget the cheese sauce for your fries!

And if that was not enough, there is a dessert area where you can order milk shakes, cookies, brownies, pies, or ice cream. Of course, they make it convenient by creating meal specials (hamburger, fries, dessert) to further incent you. If only people could show more restraint in eating.

Don’t forget that this is a costly experience. Is 10 to 15 dollars too much to pay for a 2000 calorie meal?
