>>Matt Lieberman: Good morning. I’m Matt Lieberman, and this is Forcefed. What did you hear correctly?
Damn right. Open wide and gobble up this plate o’ knowledge!
Boom!

America. Land of the free, home of the brave, and birthplace to bacon-wrapped bacon. We
have the biggest portions, the biggest appetites, and the biggest wet asses. Wait, that might
just be a porn I saw once. The Center for Science in the Public Interest
has just released their Xtreme Eating Awards winners for 2014. Now I say winners, but these
are the most unhealthy dishes at restaurant chains around the country. Now, many of you
have already divided into two camps, and I respect both of them equally: The people who
are like, “Disgusting! I can’t believe that people have been eating that!” and
the people who are like, “Great! I’m going to conquer all of these. Bring it, Lieberman,
you culinary pansy!” Okay, you don’t have to yell.
The Cheesecake Factory is the most well-represented restaurant on this list, with three, count
em, three entree entries. First, their Bruleed French Toast, dubbed “The best french toast
ever!” in the menu, is “Extra thick slices of rustic french bread baked and grilled golden
brown, topped with powdered sugar and served with maple-butter syrup and bacon or grilled
ham.” Look at this picture. It doesn’t look like a lot, but this one plate contains
2780 calories, 93 grams, or five days worth, of saturated fat, 2230 milligrams of sodium,
and and 24 teaspoons of sugar. According to the CSPI, you’d have to swim laps for seven
hours to burn off this one meal. Next up is their Farfalle with Chicken and
Roasted Garlic. Oh, that doesn’t sound so bad! Chicken is lean protein, yeah, pasta
isn’t great for you, but how bad could it be? Well when you add pancetta and their roasted
garlic-parmesan cream sauce, you wind up with a fat and salt bomb that has 2410 calories
and 63 grams of sat fat, and 1370 mg’s of sodium, which is just under a full day’s
worth. You’d have to jog for a solid 5 hours to burn this puppy off. Sorry, not puppy,
adult saint bernard. Closing out Cheesecake Factory’s offerings
is a slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. As you must imagine, any
dish that has cake TWICE in the name is bad for you, with 1500 calories and 43 grams of
saturated fat. One slice is like eating a whole Sara Lee Classic Cheesecake topped with
a cup of Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream. Another stand-out entry is Joe’s Crab Shack’s
Big Hook Up platter, which comes with Fish n chips, coconut shrimp, crab stuffed shrimp,
hushpuppies, cole slaw, and something called Great Balls of Fire, which are seafood and
crab balls full of jalepenos and cream cheese, coated in panko breadcrumbs, fried, and served
with ranch. Now, even I’ll admit that all of that sounds awesome, but this dish has
a whopping 3280 calories, 50 grams of saturated fat, and 7610 mg of sodium. That’s a five
day supply on one white plate! No! Put it down! Stop it!
NO BALLS OF FIRE! STOP! No balls of ice either. Actually ice is okay, cause it's just water.
Now what is number one? Brace yourselves. Red Robin’s slogan is Red Robin dot dot
dot Yum. This dish is more Red Robin dot dot dot Um?
Good for you Lieberman.
Ya nailed it.
First of all, Red Robin is best known for their bottomless steak fries, a never ending tater trough that accompanies all of
their burgers, which you can Monster-size for $1.99. Well the Monster-sized version
of their A.1. Peppercorn burger, which is topped with bacon, pepper jack, A.1. peppercorn
spread, tomatoes, and crispy onion straws, combined with even just one serving of the
bottomless fries and the Monster-sized Salted Caramel Milkshake, comes out at a gut-busting
3540 calories, about 2 days worth, 69 grams or 3.5 days worth of saturated fat, and four
days worth of sodium, about 6,280 milligrams. That’s like eating seven McDonald’s McDoubles
and four cups of coke. You’d have to power-walk for 12 straight hours to burn it off. HELL NO.
Now, I wanna hear from you. What is the worst, most disgusting, sloppiest, fattiest thing you've ever had at a restaurant.?
