Checkers corporate headquarters enjoys creating burgers, such as their new Philly Double Cheesesteak Burger, that make my taste buds salivate and my stomach cringe in fear. If the name of the new burger isn’t enough to scare you out of wearing a bathing suit till winter, maybe the fact that it contains two burgers, three slices of cheese, a pile of steak, all of which is stuffed between two pieces of buttered up, sourdough bread will. On top of those hearty ingredients, they also tempt you by making two of these delightful burgers a steal at only five dollars. So while I trying to avoid the thought of the approaching weekend of bathing suits and beaches, I decided to take one of these burgers for a test ride.

When pulling these burgers out of the bag, my stomach immediately starts to whimper at what it I have gotten it into. Looking at the match up, I fully understand why my stomach would be a little nervous because the burger probably outweighs my stomach by a few pounds and is twice its size. Meanwhile, my taste buds immediately begin support the choice as they salivate at the tasty, cheese soaked steak that is falling off the side of the burger.With complete carelessness for my stomach and my waistline, I take my first bite. First off, the meat and cheese has been packed so tight it’s hard to tell where the burger ends and where the steak begins. With each bite, my stomach fights to digest the sheer quantity of meat, cheese and sourdough bread this burger throws at it. As I work through the burger it becomes a desperate fight between my stomach, tastebuds and the burger to who will be the first to concede.In this fight, the burger ultimately loses as I finish it while my stomach is still working in overdrive to digest it. With my final bite, my tastebuds are not only worn out but I am feeling a little too full to enjoy the fries and instead go for the coke in hope that it will encourage digestion.

If you are in the mood for a hardy meal and are confident enough in your appearance for this weekend, then this Checkers burger will be perfect for you. If not, I definitely think you should give this burger a chance, but I recommend that you spend a few more hours on that treadmill before you try to squeeze into that bathing suit this Memorial Day weekend.

You can find this burger at all Checkers locations. I bought mine at the Checkers on 10th.
