Was pasta in a bread bowl ever a GOOD idea?

While I was sitting at my desk today perusing the yahoo daily "news" stories, I came across this:
7 Unhealthiest Pasta Dishes in America.

Most of the dishes looked okay, and I'm a sucker for the cream sauce,  so I would probably give up a meal, if not my coronary health to try one.
Then I came across this....   Death by bread bowl...  Disgusting


Worst  Pasta Dish
Domino’s Chicken Carbonara Breadbowl Pasta  


#3: Worst Bread Bowl Pasta
1,480 calories
56 g fat (24 g saturated, 1 g trans)
2,280 mg sodium
188 g carbohydrates

This tops our list of "Dumbest Ideas in Restaurant History." The bowl itself—before you fill in the pasta—carries 840 calories and a third of your day’s saturated fat. When eating at Domino’s, stick to what they do best—pizza. Anything else and you’re messing with a carbohydrate and caloric conundrum of epic proportions.

The pizza isn't all that great either. I've stopped ordering from them completely.
