It's so freaky how many calories that Quesadilla Burger has. My boyfriend used to like getting that when we had an applebee's near us, and he always felt so full after half the burger. But my question is - how do you pack THAT many calories into something unless you're trying to be unhealthy? What I mean is - are they purposely choosing, like, 70% lean beef (instead of the usual 85% lean at least) and sauces that have 20 g of saturated fat?

My question is - why? Even people don't cook that grossly in their kitchen
