A Mountain of Meat & Cheese

If you’re wondering why Americans are overweight, check out the press release I received this morning from the folks at Burger King. The headline reads: “Guests Invited to Pile on Meat, Cheese & Bacon—Hold the Produce.”

The release promotes the new BK Stacker Sandwich (above): two, three or four hamburger patties “stacked high between a sesame seed bun with equal slices of melted American cheese and up to eight slices of crispy bacon, smothered in original creamy, savory BK Stacker Sauce for the ultimate sandwich helping. The bigger the burger ordered, the more layers of bacon and cheese.”

Customers can order the:

  • Triple Stacker (800 calories, 54 g fat, 1,450 mg sodium)
  • Quad Stacker (1,000 calories, 68 g fat, 1,800 mg sodium)

“The BK Stacker is simple and built with the very ingredients our restaurant guests love best—meat, cheese and bacon,” notes Denny Marie Post, Burger King’s senior vice president and chief concept officer, in the release. “We’re satisfying the serious meat lovers by leaving off the produce and letting them decide exactly how much meat and cheese they can handle.”

Organic Figs, Melon, Prosciutto, and Salami View More
Written by Laura Klein   

Serves 6

Ingredients:

12 fresh organic figs, halved lengthwise
1 large ripe organic melon such as an heirloom cantaloupe, Ogen, Sharlynn, or Canary Melon, halved, and seeded
6 oz of prosciutto, sliced thin
1/2 lb of semi-aged Italian salami such as salami toscano, sliced thinly
Assorted cheeses if desired, such as organic goat or gorgonzola and crackers

Method:

Remove skin of halved melon by creating a flat surface at one end of melon, (slicing off the end of melon will give you your flat surface); stand melon up on the flat end and slice down the length of the melon removing the skin. Cut melon into 6 wedges lengthwise. Roll salami and prosciutto into cylinders. Arrange organic figs in the center of a platter. Place rolled prosciutto and salami decoratively around figs with sliced melon. Serve with assorted cheeses such as organic goat or gorgonzola cheese and crackers if desired.
