\"\"<\/a>Burger King has done it again. The home of the Whopper and the Steakhouse XT, Burger King has recently unveiled a new Whopper Bar in New York’s Times Square. The Whopper Bar is a place where customers can create a Whopper to their specifications, or choosing from such offerings as the Bourbon Whopper<\/em>, topped with fried onion rings and the Meat Beast<\/em>, topped with bacon and pepperoni.<\/p>\n

Now they’ve managed to even surpass those calorie bombs<\/a> with their newest offering, the NY Pizza Burger.<\/em><\/p>\n

This two-in-one dish contains four Whopper<\/a> patties, sliced pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. It’s topped with pesto and marinara sauce. Designed to be shared, it comes in six slices, just like a pizza and is four times the size of a regular Whopper.<\/p>\n

At a price of $13, the customer will be eating more than 2,500 calories, 144 grams of fat – 59 of them saturated fat. It also contains an amazing 3,780 milligrams of salt – more than double the daily amount allotted for adults.<\/p>\n

This calorie bomb is a tribute to New York City, where next month at Burger King’s Times Square Whopper Bar you will be able to eat more calories in one setting than you ever imagined.<\/p>\n

But, if early opinions from the tastemakers, if there is such a thing for fast food, are any indication, the pizza burger may be dead on arrival:<\/p>\n

“It succeeds in the semiotic suggestion of a pizza,” says Joshua David Stein of Eater.com<\/a>, “but it doesn’t really taste like a burger and certainly tastes not a lick like a Whopper, a strange failure for the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of a Whopper Bar.”<\/p>\n
