Eat and Let Die Superbowl Special Post:

Just in time for the big game comes The Ultimate Snack Stadium -- quite possibly one of mankind's greatest accomplishments of this -- or, for that matter, any -- millenium.

The ingredients are a healthy melange of all the things a growing boy needs:

The Field:

  • 1 Pound of Guacamole
  • 15 Oz. Queso Dip For The Steelers End Zone
  • 15 Oz. Salsa For The Cardinals End Zone
  • 2 Oz. Sour Cream for the Field Lines

The Players:

  • 15 Vienna Sausages
  • Helmets - 3 Oz. Sharp Cheddar Cheese

The Goal Posts:

  • 1 Slim Jim for Each Goal Post
  • 1 Oz. Monterey Jack Cheddar To Anchor (each)

The Stands:

  • 58 Twinkies
  • 1 Pound of Bacon
  • 1 Bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • 1 Bag of Cheetos
  • 1 Bag of Corn Tortilla Chips
  • 1 Bag of Chex Mix

The Blimp:

  • 20 Oz. Football-Shaped Summer Sausage (optional) (on second thought, no, this isn't optional. Go buy one.)

 

Quadruple Bypass Burger

Quadheartattack

This bad boy 4-pattie pileup of artery-clogging wonderment comes from those genius cookers of flesh at the Heart Attack Grill. http://www.heartattackgrill.com

 Have I mentioned that this whole heavenly blaze of greased lightning glory is served by pinup girls?
 

 
OK, but you might be asking yourself if having an attractive young lady in a hottie nurse costume give you the gift of a hot meat stack is really enough? Fear not, faithful friends. Behold sides of genius. French fries cauterized in pure boiling lard, Jolt Cola and a pack of unfiltered Lucky Strikes. Content not thyself with a mere 4-layered meat & cheese pile, my friends. Verily.

The Grease Trucks

Fatdarrell_lg

The so-called "grease trucks" of New Brunswick, NJ serve up any kind of sandwich you care to ask for.  The Fat Cat, the Fat Moon, and the Fat Koko are all popular, but since its invention in the late 90's, the Fat Darrell (pictured above) has taken the fat sandwich scene by storm, even being named the nation's top sandwich by Maxim magazine. Chicken fingers, french fries, mozzerella sticks, marinara sauce, lettuce and tomato on a hoagie.

Looks like our friends at The Fat Sandwich company are not exactly original.

Pizza Hut Japan's Double-Roll Pie

Pizza-hut-double-roll-pie

Japanese Pizza Hut knows what time it is.  That's why they give their consumers what they really want -- every conceivable unhealthy dinner food in a single pie

  • Screw stuffing crust with cheese -- let's stuff our crust with hot dogs!
  • Top it with bacon, italian sausage, and ham!
  • For good measure, toss in some mini-burger patties!
  • And to finish it off, go ahead and throw some edamame on top, so you know it's Japanese!

American Pizza Hut, you should be ashamed.  You've got a long way to go.

Well, The Cabbage is Good for You

Grandslam

Close to our work is the welcome addition of Go!Go!Curry!, a small Japanese curry house in the Garment District. They have recently unveiled the “Grand Slam” option: katsu cutlet, chicken cutlet, shrimp with tartar, sausage, boiled egg, along with the obligatory mound of rice, thick curry sauce and shredded cabbage, for a mere $12.50. I have yet to try due to . . . cowardice, but informed cowardice: I did try the Homerun which is a “pared down” version of the Grand Slam (essentially without one of the cutlets), and it’s truly a gutbomb. The baseball categories stem from the owners’ borderline obsession with Hideki Matsui. Oishi!
