"new sandwich" news and stories

Burger King now has its own variation on the McDonald's McGriddle. Instead of swathing a sandwich in syrup-filled pancakes, the new French Toast Sandwich uses - you guessed it: french toast. Sandwiched between two round slices of maple-flavored, deep fried french toast is an egg, sausage and cheese filling.

The official nutritional information doesn't appear to be available yet, but it should probably receive honorable mention on the list of the worst foods you can eat. To estimate the fat and calories, I added up the nutritional information for the filling of the Egg, Sausage and Cheese Croissan'wich  (310 calories and 26 grams of fat) and the 5-pc. French Toast Sticks (390 calories and 20 grams of fat) and came up with 700 calories and 46 grams of fat. If it turns out to be anywhere near those numbers, that puts it at about the same fat and calorie content of the Enormous Omelet Sandwich. Yum.
