> [@swampbear](#): > > Last Friday I made smashed taters for a dinner. Lots of smashed taters. 70 pounds worth of smashed taters. Smashed taters loaded with butter, cream and freshly grated parmesan cheese. We’re talking smashed taters that could clog arteries up to ten miles away. Gooooooooooood smashed taters. We could serve 'em along side some chicken fried bacon and donut burgers. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! Shit. I shoulda read this before my previous post. What? No cream cheese in them taters? Slacker. ---

Lots of credible candidates, but I’ll go with [Deep-Fried Macaroni & Cheese](http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_18431,00.html). Second place would be corndogs. ---

Try the “Rothlis-Burger”, the namesake of Pittsburgh Steeler Ben Rothlisberger: > [@](#): > > The burger is topped with one and a half pounds of beef and sausage, as well as scrambled eggs, lettuce, tomato and American cheese on a Portuguese roll. -from wiki. And I considering the shit that goes on sandwhiches in Pittsburgh (steak and cheese, fries, tomatos and coleslaw, all piled in the bun), this actually sounds rather light. Southern-fried chicken fingers with a bacon grease and mayo sauce on the side for dippin’. Deep fried bacon on top of fried eggs served in a fried taco boat, topped with sausage gravy and crumbled pork rinds. ---

A [Monte Cristo sandwich](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Cristo_sandwich), with the addition of bacon, and with [lardy cake](http://www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/recipes_result.asp?name=wiltshirelardy) as bread.

Both of mine have peanut butter… Cinnamon rolls with butter and peanut butter on top (yes, you have to eat it with a fork) Peanut butter smeared on a plate with Karo syrup. Both of these are from my childhood. Yum 😃 ---

I think it only counts if you have actually eaten it. Therefore, I submit the treat of my college days-the fried honey bun. Take one large honey/cinnamon roll, dripping with sugar and fat, split like a hamburger bun, fry in grease of choice (butter is best) on a standard short-order griddle, then top with ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry. I’m still amazed that so few of my fellow students required cardiac bypass before graduation. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > Bacon-wrapped, deep-fried banana-on-a-stick. > Mmmmmm… I was watching a piece on the local PBS affiliate about diners in Pennsylvania. One place served a hot dog, wrapped in bacon which is then deep-fried. I am not making this up. ---

I have personally deep fried cheesecake. Damn, it’s good, especially with a tempura batter and whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I suggest mushing the cheesecake into doughnut-hole sized balls and freezing them prior to frying. I see your poutine, **Bosda** , and raise you four-cheese onion ring poutine with pastrami on top.
