Help from Hedonism-minded American resident needed
I don't know who else has seen the news, but Hardees yesterday announced the highest calorie fast food product ever made, the delightfully named "Monster Thickburger". Typically, the nanny-ish media are getting all upset about it, and more interestingly, Hardees seem to be catering to Red-America impulses in their defense of their decadent delight:
"It's not a burger for tree-huggers," said a Hardee's executive, rejoicing in their defiance of the fad for salads and "Atkins-friendly" menus.
Anyhow, enough politics, heres details. 2/3 of a pound of prime beef, 4 slices of bacon, 2 slices of processed cheese, mayonaisse, on a buttered bun. I think the buttering of the bun is the real masterstroke.
So, my request is, can a US based nomadlife crew member please go and try one of these, in the best interests of the community? We want photos, a full restaurant style review of your dining experience, and any hot information you may thing is relevant. And if you go to the website - monsterthickburger.com, you can even print off a voucher for $1 off!
So, get to it! And remember, as Hedonism Bot from Futurama would tell you - "I apologise for nothing!"

Dude, nomadlife is supposed to be all lower case. Check out the discussion on wiki. We debated how to write it and the outcome was: nomadlife.

hey i was not included on this decision about the capitalization or lack thereof in the name nomadlife. i think we need to regroup a task force and make some kind of formal recommendation before this can be finalized. i think we're moving forward too fast on this. and you forgot to fill out your TPS report.
also i'll try the burger for tom if i find a hardee's in austin.

Unfortunately no Hardees in Austin. Actually, looking at their restaurant finder http://www.hardees.com/finder.cfm - they are only in a small-ish portion of the US. Hedonism seems to be destined only for those to the west of Arkansas. Hardees is big in Egypt though, second only to McDonalds.
Oh and remember with the TPS reports, we need to attach the cover to them before we send them. Didn't you get the memo?

Hey, we have a Hardy's in HK as well (hardly doubt that the monster thick burger will be a big hit here though).
Can someone please capture that, please?

Hardees are all over the place in my neck of the woods, especially my hometown (LaCrosse, WI...where I'll be this weekend). I have absolutely no desire to try this trash, but I'll see if I can't connive the husband into playing guinea pig. I'll play photographer.

Please do. This kind of cultural exceptionalism only happens once or twice each century. With burgers like this, we could indeed become the greatest generation.
