Hardee's Menu Item has 920 Calories
CARPINTERIA, Calif.(UPI) -- Carpinteria, Calif., restaurant chain Hardee's
has begun serving a gargantuan breakfast item that contains 920 calories
and 60 grams of fat.
The Country
Breakfast Burrito employs a flour tortilla to hold two-egg omelets filled
with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage
gravy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday.
"This is no
ordinary breakfast burrito," said Brad Haley, executive vice president
of Marketing for Hardee's restaurants. "It's an entire country breakfast
in the palm of your hand. It represents the first time that hungry breakfast
customers can get eggs, bacon, ham, hash browns and sausage gravy in a
portable form that can easily be eaten on the go. True breakfast fans are
really going to enjoy the Country Breakfast Burrito once they get their
hands on it."
The burrito
is only offered for a limited time and retails for $2.69 or $4.09 for a
small combo that includes coffee and hash rounds.
