I love bacon and so do both my daughters. It won't matter what time I am cooking bacon but the aroma will wake them from a dead sleep at 4:00AM. But if I try to get them up any other time its a full on fight...LOL

Actually - it is available with grilled chicken. I think it's 100 calories less than the fried one.

The website says 540 calories for the fried monster. I guess it depends on how many your plan to eat to get to 1300.

Ugh...sorry Bonk.....why bother with a grilled version that's only 100 calories less? I still say gimme the fried version!

If they made it right it would have a whopping calorie #. I'm wondering if their photography is making the thing seem bigger than it will turn out. You'll probably get 2 mini chicken strips with a couple tiny slices of bacon and cheese squeezed between em.

Thats what im thinking too. If you just add up the calories it doesnt make sense. 1 original chicken breast is 320 calories add 4 slices of cheese, bacon and im sure the sauce is right around 100 calories. Maybe each sandwich is two servings because its "Doubling Down". Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

...um, because if it's grilled, it's low carb and better for you? That's what the late Mr. Atkins would say. LOL

I thought of that double serving thing as well. Come on, who are they trying to kid? People ordering this thing aren't trying to drop 30lbs on the krispy kreme diet. I guess we'll see what happens in a few days.
As for the Wookie analogy, I guess he wanted to be with a kind similar to his. We never saw any other of his kind throughout the series of movies.

Kinda interesting how the grilled has more sodium. I guess if they can't make their chicken taste good from a dose of their grease, they'll just throw a bunch of salty goodness one it.

Tonight on the Food Network on the show "The Best thing I ever ate" is about BACON. The hosts pick obscure and best bacon dishes from around the country.

I think we just found the official food of the THP Outing, this and the McRib.
I like watching the Top Chef series to see what creative ways they can use the bacon... especially if they screw up a dish. BTW, Giada and bacon together is a match made in heaven. Hottest.chef.ever.

The Italian diet is really very healthy - it's American Italians who are fat or any American who eats Americanized Italian food.

You may be right, but I am not sure I would say that anybody that eats Italian food that is Americanized is fat. Not really fair in my opinion.

Ok - I'll put an "m" in front of any. I meant that the Italian diet is filled with lean cuts of mean, vegetables and legumes. It doesn't have the large portions of pasta that we see here. I think I read that a serving of pasta in an Italian restaurant in the US is equal to 9 slices of bread. In Italy - a serving of pasta is much smaller. Over 60% of Americans are obese or overweight - I think portion control is a big part of that.
