Clearly, there are some people who will deep fry anything. Mars bars, Twinkies, chocolate truffles, fruits and vegetables are all fair game for the fryer, but this deep fried bacon double quarter pounder is the first of its kind that I have seen. Bacon was fried and added to two, stacked quarter-pounders (with cheese) and coated in batter before being fried. Click here to see a step-by-step photo essay. The chef says that he ended up eating the whole thing and wasn't hungry again for more than 24 hours.
And what is that beside the burger? It looks like a pile of crispy, fried batter - the savory version of funnel cake - not french fries. This meal could only get greasier if the plate was fried, too.
For the health conscious, a regular double quarter pounder (with cheese) has 731 calories and 45 grams of fat (91% of the RDA of saturated fat). Add in the bacon (3 pieces) at 120 calories and 9 grams of fat. Add in the deep frying and the batter and, though I won't hazard an exact guess, you can bet that's a lot of extra fat.

From what I've heard, deep fried pizza is fairly common in Scotland, but this just makes me want to deep fry my f*****g face. This could only be more excessive if it had a dodo egg on top, and maybe some chili made out of babies on the side.

I have it on good authority as I know the creator of this evil mess that she did beer-batter and refry the fries, and they're what's sitting next to the burger.

Wish they started used an In-And-Out Double Double.
This is a common menu item in some London pubs.

The picture makes my arteries ache. That thing is wrong on many levels. This is coming from a guy who used to eat the fried corn on the cob at Cotton Patch restaurants. For those of you who have never been to Cotton Patch, they poke a stick into the cob of an ear of corn, dip the whole thing in a really tasty batter and toss it in the deep fryer. Tastes incredibly good. Not healthy at all!
My doctor would beat me with a whip if I got caught looking at the picture of that fried burger.
