Hum Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Major fast food chains are finding new ways to shave calories off their menu items, but one burger flipping franchise is going in the other direction. Jake's Wayback has made a towering burger with nine?count em, nine?patties, a permanent menu item. The east coast chain, which is currently expanding to 14 states across the country, has decided to put the Triple Triple on their menu after receiving over 100 orders during a test-month last year. The nine-patty Triple Triple?the tallest burger you can get at a major fast food restaurant?was originally offered as a limited-edition novelty item. A challenge for competitive eaters with a craving for cow, the company got a bigger response than they expected. ?It?s crazy. We had one guy eat it in less than two minutes,? Gillian Maffeo, director of marketing for parent Jake?s Franchising LLC, told Burger Business. This week the company announced that the Triple Triple was here to stay. As of March 1, it will be the priciest burger on their menu at $12.99 a pop. So just how many calories are packed in a burger with nine patties? A cheeseburger is listed at 570 calories, on the chain's website. If you multiply that by 9, you get a whopping 5,130 calories :| with approximately 117 grams of saturated fat. Now subtract about eight sandwich buns, since this stack is mostly meat. more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A diet version of the Quadruple Bypass Burger? Sign me up, wouldn't hurt to shave off a pound or three before summer. MightyJordan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacer Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Pretty disgusting. I don't see how someone can eat that in one sitting and not be sick/dead afterwards. I've also never heard of this fast-food place before, so I guess I don't have to worry about seeing someone attempt to eat this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 They must put the burger in some sort of box -- it would surely fall over as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyarecomingforyou Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 They must put the burger in some sort of box -- it would surely fall over as is. Given the amount of meat I'm surprised they don't just cook the cow whole and stick a bun around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 They must put the burger in some sort of box -- it would surely fall over as is. They skewer it. There was a place down the street from me in college that had "challenge burgers", if you ate them you got your name on a plaque on the wall (at least, for the biggest ones): Eagle's Challenge 5lbs of burger, 20pcs of bacon, 20pcs of american cheese, 5lbs of fries, 1 deli pickle, and a fountain soda. $59.99 Paul Jones 4lbs of burger, 16pcs of american cheese, 5lbs of fries, 1 deli pickle, and a fountain soda. $49.99 Reilly Burger 3lbs of burger, 12pcs of american cheese, 2lbs of fries, 1 deli pickle, and a fountain soda. $39.99 Cowabunga 2lbs of burger, 8pcs of american cheese, 1/2lbs of fries, 1 deli pickle, and a fountain soda. $25.99 Nick Lachey 1 1/2lbs of burger, 6pcs of swiss cheese, 6pcs of bacon, 1/2lbs of fries, and a fountain soda.
