]]>Does it come with Fries? .... This has gotten more nation wide attention than when the Whitecaps won the league championship.
]]>Although it does have one upside: it's the perfect metaphor for what is wrong with America!
]]>And the people who believe Americans eat like this are wrong (even if they are Americans). These are extreme examples and most people would not eat this sort of thing. This is designed for publicity, and you can see it's working.
]]>I'm pretty sure this is not a significant contributor to the weight problems or potential weight problems of those who eat it, because they probably are not eating one every day, or even every week.
]]>It's the "Bukkake Burger"! This is why sour cream DOES NOT BELONG on burgers!
]]>Actually I could get a free t-shirt and not have to run as far if I enter a marathon. That's something fun that people can understand!
No wonder Michigan ranks high in the country for both obesity and depression.
Actually I saw a story recently featuring a bad one at another ballpark. It was a greasy cheeseburger served on a crispy creme doughnut sliced in two.
Either culinary wonder would mean some serious toilet time as far as i'm concerned.
]]>*lol* I know, right? All this monstrosity needs is to be wrapped in a pancake then deep-fried, and it could be featured in another SNL sketch :) I live in West Michigan and am PROUD that my home-state came up with this tongue-in-cheek indulgence in excess and gluttony. (No really!)
]]>I swear my mother told me about the 5th and 3rd streets thing ... which means it's like the time she told me the cat "ran away" to a "better home."
]]>In general, eating contests kinda sicken me as they are a collossal waste of effort and no practical application except sending a message of disregard for ressource consumption.
Obviously all the food consumed at eating contests in the entire US would hardly feed the hungry, but the message sent is kinda "We have so much food we have to have competitions to get rid of it."
@CubeRat: "Good Eats" is one of my favorites, too. Guess I'm just one of those people that likes to get some education with my recipes.
]]>West Michigan Whitecaps - the former Madison Muskies.
]]>It ended really well.
]]>I would love to have his job. Or the guy that goes around trying to win eating challenges (Man vs. Food, I think).
One of the shows I actually enjoy watching though is the "Good Eats" one.
]]>/ruining a perfectly good burger with mayo
]]>OK.
Most of you know that I am a conservative nutjob that thinks that places should be able to sell whatever they want as long as someone is willing to buy it, without regulation. That's the free market. Well, sometime, something comes along that makes you want to draw the line and actually want the government to restrict the sale of something.
This may actually be that item.
]]>Seriously, really crappy food.
]]>Yeah, I suspect you'd probably crap a good portion of that monster burger undigested. I wouldn't want to be the guy in the next stall while you did that, though. HOWEVER, if you are capable of putting away that volume of groceries at a sitting, it's a good bet that you do it fairly often, and are quite capable of digesting whatever you put down there, skinny Japanese hot dog eating champion notwithstanding.
]]>What the fuck?
]]>Food like this is why hospitals are having to start making wider beds, and undertakers are making bigger coffins. And why when I went to the grocery store last weekend I could barely navigate the aisles because of all the morbidly obese people on scooters. I must have been the only person in there walking on 2 feet.
And no, for the record I am not a lardass who eats like this regularly. Make that at all. I wouldn't touch that burger on a bet.
]]>I just love making fun of Food Network people, especially the fat ones who measure butter by the stick, or think pork fat is the best kind to cook with.
]]>Fifth Third's unusual name is the result of the June 1, 1908 merger of two banks, The Fifth National Bank and The Third National Bank, to become The Fifth Third National Bank of Cincinnati. Because the merger took place during a period when prohibitionist ideas were gaining popularity, it was believed that "Fifth Third" was better than "Third Fifth," which could be construed as a reference to three "fifths" of alcohol. The name went through several changes over the years, until on March 24, 1969, the name was changed to Fifth Third Bank.]]>
U-S-A! U-S-A!
]]>The world doesn't hate America because we're fat. They hate America because we insist on wearing tight sweatpants over our fat asses with the word "JUICY" written on them.
]]>Things like this are the reason the rest of the world hates America.
]]>Coming from a math-science background, I'm assuming there's a limit to how many calories/nutrients you can absorb per hour... multiply that by the maximum time food can spend in the tract and you get the "upper-limit" of calorie intake and anything left after would happily, um, "passed."
]]>Gury Fieri is the last person you want to see coming out of the stall when you're waiting to go....
]]>...i alwasy wonder about people who put their money in a bank that appears to lack a basic grasp of arithmetic...
]]>Why do I feel insulted by that statement?
]]>It's a gastronomical Weapon of Mass Destruction!
]]>Needs bacon
]]>Guy makes me laugh. He says almost the exact same thing with everything he tries.
"Oh... the spices are just... wow!" along with other phrases that don't really mean anything.
I am envious though that his job is to go around eating stuff.
Just another reason the rest of the world hates us!
]]>@tc4b: Garbage plates and Genessee beer-only in Rochester. :)
]]>@tc4b Garbage plates and Kodak film...ahh, Rochester.
]]>mmm looks delicious... can I get a Diet Coke with that?
]]>"Here's your redonkulous jumbo burger. Would you like a jumbo mortgage to go with that? And our dessert special today is this irresistible pineapple upside-down HELOCAKE."
]]>FIFY.
]]>I need healthier eating habits, man. I see a burger and my salivary glands go into overdrive.
]]>If you honestly think your body holds onto to each and every one of those calories, and turns this into 1.4lbs of fat instantly, then yes, eating this makes you fat. But, uh, it doesn't happen like that.
]]>And Kaellorian, AMEN to that. The most infuriating thing is at my college's dining hall, they have soy "milk," gluten-free "milk," and one other fake milk right next to the coffee, but NO FRIGGIN' HALF-AND-HALF!
Is anyone else bothered by places like Flatbread Pizza where half of the menu is devoted to what the ingredients are "free" of?
]]>Time to send an email to www.thisiswhyyourefat.com
]]>Sorry, folks, it's not soy milk - soy doesn't have boobs. I checked.
]]>"Something fun that people can understand". Do they really think we are all Homer? And THEY are calling US stupid.
]]>Why the hell does it have tortilla chips on it... wtf is thiS?! Also it looks like it has several small burger patties, not just 1 big one. Still wtf with the chips!?
]]>har har har.
You know, when I was in college, people would eat that much food at the all-you-can-eat cafeteria buffet quite often. Some kids would rim their trays in mountain dew and then take one of everything.
A 'normal' sized version of that seems like it might be tasty, though. Chili burger!
]]>None of it's true. Eating one of these (even by yourself) on rare occasion will have zero impact on your health. It's the crap people eat every day that does the damage.
So go ahead and enjoy it if you want to.
]]>"It's something fun that people can understand."What, did they have previous contests that confused people? What's with that "people can understand" bit?
Also, is that a fried chicken patty below the burger? And why is all that white stuff on the outside of the burger? And who's supposed to want to try to split a burger four ways?
]]>Does your heart get a bailout?
]]>Now I'm tempted to make one with Garden Burgers or, even moar bettar, Grillers Prime.
]]>Restaurants seemed to have figured out that to get free advertising via the "news" all they have to do is either stack a bunch of food into a big pile or include an expensive gemstone to make the price outrageous.
The Big Texan Steak Ranch is not amused.
]]>This is a major problem in our society: There's this competition amongst restaurants/food providers to produce the biggest, most fat filled, greasiest crap imaginable.
Why??? I don't get it.
]]>What, a heart attack? real fun.
]]>The marketing people pushing products that are obvious contributers to the problem need to take a step back and consider their effect.
But oh wait, they wouldn't care: they're capitalists in a capitalist society.
$ > Human well-being.
Hard to break away from those fundamentals, huh.
Is that supposed to be chili on the bottom layer? Looks more like refried beans.
]]>I would like to eat this burger, it must be lunch time
]]>
