Holy Cow!

The Burger’s Priest is notorious for its devilishly decadent burgers. Now the city’s hot dogs are following suit, with totally sinful toppings. Here, we investigate the dietary impact of two of the most outrageous orders in town

The Burger's Priest

The Vatican

This burger — which is made with two ground beef patties and grilled cheese sandwiches in place of buns — is available by special order from the Priest’s “secret menu.” At 1,105 calories a pop, it’s got almost four times the calories of a McDonald’s cheeseburger.

Poutine Dog

This all-beef foot-long is dressed with cheese curds, gravy and matchstick potatoes. Served with a hefty helping of hand-cut fries, the meal packs a whopping 106.8 grams of fat — roughly nine times the amount of an Oscar Mayer wiener (no bun).
