I used to go to a restauaunt that had deep fried stromboli. Wrap a large pizza crust, around a pound of pepperoni, a pound of Mozzerella, and a pound of Italian sausage. Deep fry until crisp, and served with melted garlic butter to dip. ---

[QUOTE=RoniaBorkason] **Darryl Lict** , I haven’t been there in over a year, so they might have folded, and I don’t remember the name: something about Super Tortas, Sabor Tropical (Tropical flavor), maybe Estilo Chilango (Mexico City style), but it was on the north side of the East Lodi avenue / south garfield street intersection. I can see it on Google maps, its right across the street from a gun shop. That particular sandwich is called La Cubana (the cuban), and cost $6. I think that they also make fresh-fruit smoothies. [/QUOTE] I’m guessing it’s **Super Torta** at 505 E. Lodi Ave. I only found it because it was robbed recently. Must be in a good part of town! I’ll log it in my fast food database. Mmmm, La Cubana. Time to go and grab some lunch! ---

I was mentally thinking that the bacon-wrapped, cheese-filled hot dog was on my mental leaderboard in this thread so far, but dayum… Deep fried cheese and sausage AND pepperoni, _dipped in garlic butter_? Yeeesh! On the other hand, one hasn’t mentioned what might be used as “dressing” for the BacoCheeseDog. ---

Cheetos—what are they anyhow? Deep fried, neon orange-coated salty heaven! Sugar buns—a Pillsbury refrigerator canned biscuit dipped in melted butter , rolled in sugar and baked. A local Chinese buffet serves them and I have to have two. Yes, I’m going to die. ---

One of my ongoing favorites is the “feather and leather”, which consists of a McDonald’s double cheeseburger and McChicken sandwich, both minus one side of their buns and stuck together. I also have eaten more quadruple stackers from Burger King than any human being ever should. But hey, I’m 22. By the time I develop adult onset diabetes, I’m sure science will have cured it. ---

OK, I’ve had a bit more time to think about this thread. [Oki Dog](http://hotdogspot.com/2004/07/oki-dog-weirdest-dogs-in-town.html) was a famous punk hangout in the 80’s in Hollywood. The Oki Dog is 2 hot dogs, pastrami, bacon, and chili wrapped in a tortilla. If I recall correctly, it also has stir fried vegetables in teriyaki sauce. Delicious! ---

once, when I was suffering a prolonged zombie like stress burnout, I took a 2 kilo pack of bacon and cut all of the rinds off, put them in a bowl and watched a double episode of “Law & Order” eating a huge bowl of salty bacon rind. ---

I can’t beat some of these, but I’d have to say the mint patties Mom used to make at Christmas. They’re (literally) almost pure suger, with some mint flavouring in them. Mmmm, now I want some… ---

A type of dessert called “sex in a pan”. It has short bread cookie crust , a layer of cream cheese/powdered sugar stuff, multiple layers of different flavored pudding, then a layer of cool whip. The only place I ever see it is like church socials… ---

The “Ferdi” or the “Ralph” at Mother’s in New Orleans has to be up there somewhere. Here’s the description: " piled high with Mother’s best baked ham, roast beef, debris (flecks of meat left in the pan) and gravy, shredded cabbage, pickles, mayo and yellow & creole mustards. The Ralph is a Ferdi with cheese" Eat that with a side of fries, and it’s blissful, if ultimately life-shortening. ---
