This Burrito Kills Arteries Dead.

When describing the new, 920-calorie Hardee’s breakfast burrito, there are a number of cliches we could totally go with. The whole Fast Food Nation/Super Size Me milleu. The Good Morning Burger jokes on The Simpsons. That Onion article about hamburgers. But we’re going to take the high road and just state the facts about the genius publicity stunt known as the Country Breakfast Burrito (TM).

It’s an oversized flour tortilla filled with two omelets that in turn are filled with bacon, sausage chunks, diced ham and cheddar cheese. The omelets are topped with hash browns (ok) and sausage gravy (!). According to Hardee’s spokesperson Brad Haley, “it makes this big contry breakfast portable.” It can also be purchased with extra fried potatoes:


The government’s Center for Nutritional Policy and Promotion recommends a daily caloric intake ranging from 1,600 calories for sedentary women and older adults to 2,800 calories for teenage boys and active adults. Hardee’s sees its core customers as young men ages 18 to 34, Haley said, though it expects a wider range for breakfast items.The Country Breakfast Burrito is generally available for $2.69 by itself or $4.09 for a combo that includes hash rounds and coffee.

If you want to try one of these monstrosities though… you’ve gotta travel. The nearest Hardee’s locations are in Delaware and York, PA.
