brunch, but isn't a burger for a meal enough food on its own? Evidently, that's not the case at Applebee's, because

This burger packs 110 grams of fat primarily from the mass amount of animal product and animal bi-product that it contains. If you're wondering just how much grams of fat that is, imagine eating about
12 tablespoons, or more than 2/3 of a cup, of peanut butter in one sitting. This burger from Applebee's just falls short of 1,700 calories, making it the unhealthiest burger you can purchase from any
popular restaurant chain. You'll want to avoid ordering it, along with any of the sodas on our list of the
