WORST NEW PIZZA

Pizza Hut Hot Dog Bites Pizza

Estimated per slice: 460 calories, 30 g fat, 9.9 g saturated fat, 32.7 g carbohydrates

That’s the Fat Equivalent of: 7.5 Taco Bell Soft Fresco Steak Tacos!

We’ve seen Pizza Hut do some kooky things in the past to try to woo new fans—remember the Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza, with 16 crust pockets of five totally different cheeses? Their latest monster mashup is Hot Dog Bites Pizza—a cheesy, pepperoni pizza surrounded by pigs in a blanket instead of the standard crust. Combining two fattening, calorie-dense, all-American foods is a lose-lose situation (though you won’t lose weight)—there’s a whopping 3,680 calories in a typical, 8-slice pie, to be exact. Oh, and it’s served with French’s mustard—for dipping all those hot dogs, of course. Yum?

1. And there's the new Carl's jr. "Thickburger"

made with beef patties, piled onto potato chips, topped with hot dogs and a layer of cheese.

2. There are people in my town who would kill for one of those.

My "go to" burger...when I can't make it to an In 'n' Out or a similar place where they make memorable burgers...is the Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Carl's Jr. But as far as anything else on their menu, I recall that Mike Myers line on SNL where he was playing "The Scottish Guy" ("If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!)...he was talking about Scottish food and said most people eat it on a dare. That's how I see the whole "thickburger" pheonomenon.

9. In 'n' Out makes a fantastic burger.

Always my first stop when I am out west.

11. My favorite. First stop when I'm in Vegas.

The Double Double HAS to be the king of burgers.

[hifiguy]

13. No question. I am in Vegas every year for CES and

a trip there is mandatory. Double-Double with cheese, fries and a chocolate shake and I am a happy camper. Yum!!!

3. Dear god. Just looking at that thing could cause a heart attack. n/t

4. I'm glad I virtually weaned myself from hamburgers

Actually, all red meat

It just sort of evolved.



I came across a recipe for some outrageous chocolate dessert the other day that had a whopping 80 grams of fat... per slice

5. Exceptions must always be made for chocolate

I'm pretty good when it comes to abstaining from high fat, high sodium, creamy, greasy, bad-for-you foods.

But chocolate? It's like the Sirens coaxing those ships onto the rocks. When it's chocolate time, I don't try to resist.

I find the best way for me to "responsibly" enjoy it is to get the best I can afford. I like those little round discs...forget the name, one of those brands like Lindt...but they are wrapped in heavy foil and then packaged in a cardboard tube. One flavor is half dark chocolate on one side, half milk on the other. Discs are about the size of a quarter. It's chocolate to be savored...I don't chew them like a Hershey bar, I let them melt in my mouth. A couple of them and the chocolate fix is good to go!

[ailsagirl]

6. Yes, chocolate is some kind of ambrosia that few can ignore

I made some brownies today-- half a recipe of ultra rich ones-- I think I've taken care of my yearning for chocolate... at least for the time being!

7. And neither one is anything I would eat.

8. Brought to you by the Pizza Hut New Product Development Team

fueled by marijuana - "Know what would be freakin' AWESOME dude?!?! Pizza and hot dogs together!!!!"

12. Remember that "munchies" box Jack In The Box tried a while back?

It was all of the cheapest crap like tacos and Jumbo Jacks that stoners would most likely order on a trip through thr drive through, thrown in one box.

[hifiguy]

10. Just looking at that thing is making me queasy

and woozy.

THIS is pizza:

14. Pizza Hut is gross.

Don't really have issue about the fat content--folks are free to choose which foods to eat for themselves--but I would rather spend my fat content and calories on something that tastes good! LOL

I've had Pizza Hut and I think it tastes gross.

15. I used to participate in a weekly pot luck...

...and one of the people used to always bring the cheapest chain pizza he could get. When I was in Colorado and broke, I've gotta tell ya...Little Caesar's is not what I would call "great" pizza, and maybe not even "good" pizza, but it was one of the best $5 meals I had at the time. Pizza Hut, on the other hand, is just nasty, nasty stuff. I tried some the first time it showed up at the pot luck. I passed after that.

[bigwillq]

16. Little Caesar's is also gross

but, yes, it is cheap.

I live in CT, and we are lucky to have some very good pizza here. I never eat pizza from chain restaurants since good pizza is only a few minutes away.
