If you woke up this morning to your bowl of Special K Red Berries thinking “man, I sure would love to eat something that would horrify my great-grandparents,” then it appears you’re not alone: it appears that, in an attempt to sooth the grumbling bellies of people like you (and other fans of Man V. Food) Dunkin Donuts is unveiling the breakfast sandwich equivalent to Frankenstein’s Monster:
- Dunkin Donuts
Interestingly enough though, those seeking to break their previous calorie-bomb consumption records will be sorely disappointed, according to the Associated Press:
Dunkin’ Donuts says the “Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich” clocks in at 360 calories, which is less than the 390 calories for the turkey sausage sandwich it recently introduced for people looking to eat better.
Of course, the calories are coming from bacon strips, an egg and a fried, glazed, then split-in-half donut, so any you might expect to receive from said sandwich could probably be considered relatively close to nil.
Besides, if you want a calorie-bomb of a sandwich, you’d probably be better off heading down Fourth Avenue to Lindy’s on 4th for their Fat Bastard, which consists of a fried egg, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo between two honey buns.
I wouldn’t recommend you do that too often though. Just saying.
(Eating that burger that is, not going to Lindy’s. Go there early and often because damn, those are some good tots.)

It’s been awhile since I’ve taken on the challenge that is the Fat Bastard, but if I remember correctly, that bad boy had a honey bun on the top and on the bottom of it…which of course gives the victim two honey buns. The way it’s described above makes it seem as if there is only one honey bun.
so any WHAT you might expect???
any calories — apparently that sentence wasn’t as clear as I intended it to be.
Wasn’t trying to be a dick, normally, I look past typos and the like and fill in with obvious context clues, this one, I really didn’t know what it was supposed to say. Thanks.
That wasn’t a typo. But good for Mr. Mendez for clarifying in a professional manner anyways.
On that note, how about “Fat Bastard, which consists of a fried egg, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo on a honey bun” being clarified, unless the burger has changed since my last attempt at artery clogging suicide, to “Fat Bastard, which consists of a fried egg, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo between two honey buns.”
Just a friendly suggestion. DC
It’s hard to believe that it’s only 360 in calories.
Old man, I have my doubts too.
Burnie, we’re good. /fist bump
DC, I meant to post this yesterday, but I did pull that from the Lindy’s site — not a bad idea to clarify that though. Fixed.
AZ/DC thus the “and the like” in my comment.
Sorry BURNIE, I overlooked the “and the like.”
Also, thank you Mr. Mendez for confirming the fact that there are two honey buns on the Fat Bastard; one of the few food products that may describe the consumer better than the product itself.
