Pub chain slammed over 1966 calorie 'donut burger'
A BURGER containing 1966 calories, 98 per cent of a woman’s Guideline Daily Amount, has been launched by pub-restaurant chain Hungry Horse, prompting nutritionists to question the ethics of the family-friendly organisation.
The Double Donut Burger, launched as part of a brand-new Hungry Horse menu which has pubs in Bournemouth and Poole, comes with the tag line ‘So Wrong It’s Right’ and includes two beef burgers topped with melted cheese, 4 smoked streaky bacon rashers & BBQ sauce served in two grilled, glazed ring donuts.
Mel Wakeman, senior lecturer in applied physiology, described it as “a heart attack on a plate”.
