Slim and beautiful, may be the two most sort after words these days but at the same time we now have a new burger which is loaded with 1,500 calories. This burger is equivalent to nearly three KFC bun-less and fried chicken Double Downs.

Massachusetts-based chain Friendly"s new Grilled Cheese Burger Melt is a hefty beef patty, squeezed into two grilled Cheese sandwiches, with cheese oozing from all side. Needless to say, this cheesy mushy sandwich is a real treat to taste buds and to the eyes.

The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt"s calorie count is about half the estimated energy requirement of an active adult male.

It contains 97 grams of fat and 2,090 mg of sodium, which is far more than the recommended 1,500 mg daily intake.

Food bloggers are call this new creation from Friendly"s the “the latest food atrocity" and a “monstrosity."

“You"ll have to taste it to believe it," reads the Friendly's website. This burger has all the quality to lure you away from your strict diet but is foodies delight.
