We’ve got more of the Top 10 Most OUTRAGEOUS Fast Food Items Of All Time - you know, those
menu items that are a little over-the-top, borderline crazy.
El Diablo Thickburger - Carl’s Jr.
Here is a fast-food item that lives up to its name proudly and rightfully; the El Diablo
Thickburger from Carl's Jr. The name pretty much speaks for itself - it was a wicked burger,
with more hellfire than any other fast-food item had seen in a while. Originally released
in 2015, this devilish burger made a very anticipated comeback in 2018, and many people
are just counting the days until the chain brings it back once again. The El Diablo Thickburger
consisted of a 1/2 - or 1/3-lb. seasoned Black Angus patty, bacon, sliced jalapenos,
jalapeno poppers, habanero bacon ranch sauce, and pepper jack cheese, all on a toasted
premium bun. Would you have ever thought of putting all that spice together on one single
burger? Probably not, but surprisingly enough, it seemed to work! The super-spicy burger
was quite popular among the lovers of spicy-food community and was deemed as one of the hottest
burgers in the world. As much as it brought the heat, it also brought a lot of health
concerns, it was certainly not for people looking for a light, quick lunch. It was the
definition of the devil incarnate in every sense of the word.
Chizza - KFC
When you want some tasty fried chicken, KFC has you covered in every way possible - they've
got it all. Back in 2015, they paired that same iconic fried chicken with another just
as iconic dish, pizza. Now, you might be thinking; how could pizza and fried chicken work well
together? Or better yet - why would you even do that? Well, KFC figured out that its chicken
could make the perfect pizza crust. All it needed was some toppings, and voila! You've
got yourself a Chizza! This fried chicken-pizza hybrid was first introduced in the Philippines,
and it slowly made its way to other KFCs around the world, like in India, Singapore, and Saudi
Arabia. Sadly though, it has yet to make an appearance on our American menus, but never
give up hope. The Chizza was similar to what we know as chicken parmesan. The KFC chicken
was covered with tomato sauce, cheese and shaped like a pizza. The real takeaway, however?
The pineapple. Pineapple on pizza is already a huge debate among pizza lovers, and now,
KFC has even taken away the crust. Reviews haven't been unanimous, but whether it's good
or not, it's hard not to feel like we're missing out on something. After all, a cheesy, fried
chicken pizza sounds just crazy enough to work.

24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger - Hard Rock Cafe
Back in June of 2019, the Hard Rock Cafe wanted its customers to eat like rock stars as it
launched its new menu. Found on this menu was a very shiny, peculiar burger which attracted
a lot of attention; the 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger. Now, that's what an expensive
burger sounds like! Hard Rock Cafe described this extravagant item as a "first-of-its-kind
burger with bling," and bling, did it have. The lavish burger contained a 1/2 lb patty
covered in 24-karat edible gold leaf, which made you feel extra luxurious. Adding gold
leaf to food had just become a fad back then, but it sure wasn't anything new. Even though
this burger might sound - and look like a million bucks, the truth is, that 24-karat
gold leaf didn't do much for the actual product. What made this burger better than a regular
burger? The answer is; the sparkle. That's it. No different flavor, no added pep, nothing
- just lots of bling and sparkle. It was basically a burger just for show. But, when you think
about it, just how gilded do you need your Hard Rock Cafe burger to be?
Berry Burger - Burger King
Japan is known for its very unique and outgoing style. What seems outrageous here is probably
a normal Tuesday over there. They aren't afraid to try new things and are always looking
for new boundaries to push. This also applies to fast-food restaurants. Burger King, has
many outlets in Japan, but they don't necessarily serve up only Whoppers. Take the Berry Burger,
for example. You've heard of putting ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce on burgers - these
are common condiments - but BK Japan wanted to experiment and get creative back in 2014.
In the months leading up to Christmas, as a way to get festive, they debuted a Berry
Burger. The burger featured a Whopper patty with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes covered
in a sauce made with raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, and red wine. Basically, the
ultimate sweet and savory combo. After all, nothing screams "happy holidays" like warm,
beefy fruit, right? As unusual and unappetizing fruit on a burger might sound, the critiques
were surprisingly positive for the most part, making people jealous of what BK Japan was
offering. The Berry Burger was launched alongside a mushroom cheeseburger called the Mush’n’Cheese,
which featured a sauce made with four mushroom types and a variety of cheese, but this one
coasted by with a little less controversy.
Zinger Double Down King - KFC
Some of you might remember the infamous Double Down sandwich that provoked a lot of reaction
from the public. You know, the bacon and cheese sandwich that replaced the bun with two pieces
of fried chicken? Well, in South Korea, KFC decided to launch its own version of this
beast called the Zinger Double Down King in 2014, four years after the original came out
in the US. Created for consumers who have "a hearty appetite and a fondness for meat,"
the Zinger Double Down King was said to have possibly outdone the original. Along with
the two fried chicken buns, the bacon, and the cheese, the Zinger also had a beef patty slathered
in rich barbecue and white pepper sauces. You might be tempted to think that the lack
of bread meant you would be cutting back a little on the carbs, but don't be fooled;
this 750 calorie monster was not winning the award for "healthiest fast-food burger." The
fact that this particular burger hasn't made its way onto our shores yet is almost as appalling
as the Zinger itself. It would, without a doubt, be quite a success. Sure, it's not
exactly waistline-friendly, but since when is KFC concerned about that?
Breakfast Baconator - Wendy's
Everyone who's had a Baconator from Wendy's knows just how massive it is. Like, 950 calories-worth
of massive. It's certainly not a meal for the faint of heart - literally. It's one of
the unhealthiest burgers in the chain's repertoire - but oh so tasty. As Wendy's recently entered
the fast-food breakfast game, it was looking for tasty items to enjoy early in the morning.
Cue the Breakfast Baconator. The same goodness from the Baconator, only now formatted to
be eaten as breakfast - well, kind of. It features six strips of Applewood smoked bacon,
a freshly cracked fried egg, a sausage patty, American cheese, and swiss cheese sauce served
on a bun. As delicious and exciting as this breakfast burger sounds, the heaviness and dominating
flavor of the meat might not give you the best "morning boost." Actually, it might be
more suitable for lunch than breakfast. However, it goes without saying that the Breakfast
Baconator packs a lot of flavor punch thanks to the smoky bacon, peppery sausage, and the
two kinds of cheese. But, if you want to avoid meat sweats so early in the morning, maybe
going with a lighter option would be better. Just saying.
Unicorn Frappuccino - Starbucks
Starbucks likes to start trends - we're looking at you, Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, it also
likes to follow them. In 2017, there was this weird obsession with anything "unicorn-related"
going around. Unicorn milkshakes, bagels, noodles - really, people were going crazy.
So, obviously, it wasn't long before Starbucks jumped on the much-derided bandwagon by launching
one of its wildest offerings to date, the Unicorn Frappuccino. This Instagrammable,
overly sweet concoction supposedly tasted like crushed-up Sweet Tarts and cotton candy
- and probably like early on-set diabetes as well. It was obviously inspired by the
fun, spirited, and colorful unicorn-themed food that had been trending at the time. It
was available for a limited time while supplies lasted. The Unicorn Frappuccino was made with
a dusting of pink powder blended into a crème Frappuccino with mango syrup. It was
then layered with a sour blue drizzle and finished with vanilla whipped cream and some
more sweet pink and sour blue powder topping. The purple-y drink might have looked dreamy
and enticing, but most people who tasted it weren’t even able to finish it. Even the
late American Chef Anthony Bourdain had taken over social media to express his disapproval
calling it "the perfect nexus of awfulness." Pretty? Yes. Mythical? Sure. But, worth the
hype? Meh.
Meatatarian Burger - Burger King
If you're a meat enthusiast who constantly feels like your regular Whopper is missing
something, then this outrageous burger was made for you. If you're a vegetarian, though,
you might want to close your eyes for a sec. Back in August of 2016, Burger King New
Zealand debuted one of the most impressive - and artery-clogging - burgers yet, the Meatatarian. People
in New Zealand must really like their meat because this beast just had all kinds of crazy
on it. For a limited time, you could choose a burger from the Meatatarian menu, which
consisted of three burgers; the Full Meaty, the Half Meaty, and the Bacon Meaty. The Full
Meaty included two beef patties, a chicken patty, six bacon strips, two slices of cheese,
a tangy barbecue sauce, and onions. For the Half Meaty, it was just as impressive, only
with one less beef patty and a single slice of cheese. As for the Bacon Meaty, it didn't
have any beef, but rather two chicken patties, six strips of bacon, two cheese slices, and
the same tasty barbecue sauce. Taste-wise? These burgers sound like heaven on earth,
and one bite would probably check every box on your perfect burger list. But, nutrition-wise?
That's a different story. This could be considered the ultimate anti-diet burger. Let's just
say your cardiologist is already cringing thinking about this one.
Taco - Burger King
Burger King undoubtedly serves some of the best fast-food burgers - I mean, it's right
there in the name! They're the king! It would then make sense for the chain to focus on
its burger options, and while it does, BK also seems to have strayed off the path, by
experimenting with other types of food. Like tacos, for instance. Released in July of 2019,
the crispy tacos were meant to compete with the wildly popular Jack in the Box taco. On
paper, it made sense. People could now get their taco fix at the same time as their burger
fix! According to Burger King, the $1 dollar tacos were "crispy, crunchy tortillas filled
with seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and crisp lettuce, all topped with just the
right amount of its savory taco sauce," and they had a very promising future on BK's menu.
However, that hope was short-lived as the critiques came back, and they weren't all
positive. Sludgy, half-filled, inconsistent, and gooey were all used to describe the tacos
- not the best kind of publicity. And aside from the bad reviews, some people just couldn't
get over how weird it was seeing Burger King selling tacos and straight up just refused
to even give them a try.
Buffalo Latte - Tim Hortons
People will eat and drink just about anything these days. The weird and kooky food combinations
just keep on coming, and people keep on asking for more, so of course, fast-food chains take
that as an invitation to continue. In October 2017, Tim Horton - a Canadian coffee chain
that's now owned by Burger King's parent company - came up with a whole new level of questionable
latte. Forget the Unicorn Frappuccino; this was something else entirely. For a limited
time and in only two locations, a Buffalo latte was available. Yes, Buffalo, as in,
the chicken wings. Usually, lattes tend to go more on the sweet side, like vanilla or
caramel, but not this one. Released in none other than Buffalo, New York, to coincide
with the launch of a handful of new coffee drinks, this latte created a lot of buzz
online - and for good reason. According to Tim Hortons, the Buffalo latte was "made
from freshly brewed espresso, steamed milk, mocha, and bold Buffalo sauce flavor" and
was then topped with whipped topping and a dusting of zesty Buffalo seasoning. "Unusual"
would probably be the best way to describe this drink. There's no real telling if this
was a pass or fail because it was so "out there," we’re not sure if anyone actually
dared to try it.
