whimpers
I think there’s a burger at Red Robin that has maranara sauce and mozarella sticks on it.
I always thought being the guy who invents new fast food sandwiches would be an excellent job and myself being a good candidate for such position, because…
1.) I like (good) fast food.
2.) I am an overweight American, the type of demographic that eats this garbage.
3.) I smoke marijuana. (I’d be perfect for Taco Bell.)
Turns out that the position of food inventor requires a Masters degree in Food Science (or something related.) Out of my educational league. Why the qualification is so high is beyond me. Probably because it is a fun job.
By the way, that’s one ugly hamburger!
To me, they should be focusing on keeping the original idea, but reducing the ingredients until it’s within normal hamburger range. The actual combination of tastes doesn’t sound that bad to me.
That Foot Long Burger actually doesn’t look too bad, if it’s a whole family eating it. Four bucks isn’t bad for a fast-food meal for four.
Four years later, I think I’m still working off the Fatmess.
I like Stephen Colbert’s take on this recent spate of fast food one-upsmanship. The Möbius Melt!
I’ve never seen one in person, but the Garbage Plate at Nick Tahou Hots in Rochester sounds like a gag to me. (Parse that however you like.)
Be sure to leave room for the bucket of shame, eh?
I am just waiting to see how Captian D’s is going to answer this challenge.
Perhaps two fried fillets of “fish” with a veal patty and a “caviar” sauce between the two?
No, it’s for real. Rochester is not known for half-measures in food.
You can have your Mobius Melt. I’m going to order a Mandel BLT Set for lunch today!
To drink, you can get your Coke served in a Klein Bottle (at least, briefly).
Carl’s Jr.'s measured response.
God bless them, they are so nasty (in a good way). Society cries out about the excess, gluttony and danger of fast food and these glorious bastards push all in.
“You think that’s excessive? Fuck you. Here’s a-foot long burger.”
You can hate the food, you can hate the chain. But damn if they aren’t magnificently and proudly awful.
To be fair, it had no description to go with it. Why do people do that?
Amateurs - check page three of this menu for The Vortex in Atlanta.
The Super Stack Heart Attack: two 1/2 pound sirloin patties stacked inside three grilled cheese sandwiches, topped with two fried eggs, eight slices of cheese, ten slices of bacon, and slathered in mayo. The burger is served sitting atop a hill of cheese-covered tater tots and fries.
I’ve had it before, and it’s very tasty - but I couldn’t finish it in two sittings. The Vortex has some of the best burgers I’ve ever tried. The Elvis, Black & Blue, and Blue 'Shroom burger are my personal favorites (in that order).
Mea culpa I guess.
I want to rant against the food industry, but ya know… this is how people want to eat. They are choosing this. I don’t get it, but obviously there would be no product to move if there weren’t people to eat it.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of the ‘‘Double Down’’ at KFC. Blargh.
I eat a home-made Double-Down all the time (skin-on chicken with extra bacon, smothered with cheese). I’ve never tried the KFC version.
I eat high fat, moderate protein, low-carb. Best thing for a human to do if you want to be healthy, strong, and lean.
Obviously I wouldn’t touch that Friendly’s bread-fest. 106g carbs is about my daily average! Looks tasty though… I used to love grilled cheese sandwiches on rye bread.
