Default loaded --- adj

loaded steakhouse burger:

loaded baked potato topping with bits of real bacon & chives

1. What does 'loaded' mean above? 2. Is it a common usage?

Thanks

A couple other interesting senses of the word:
Loaded---rich- John is loaded.
Loaded---drunk- John is loaded.
Loaded---containing live ammunition- The gun is loaded. John loaded it while loaded. He bought a lot of ammunition, because he's loaded.

In the restaurant/food industry, "loaded" means "stacked or piled high or layered."

A loaded burger would be stacked with lots of extras: cheese, lettuce, sauce, bacon,tomatoes, etc. etc.
