yup. or something Will Ferrell's character would eat in Land of the Lost.

"what are you eating?"

"it's a donut--stuffed with M&M's."


that double stack looks like the leading cause of the food coma.

I recently watched my HS freshman brother eat a Double Down in 5 minutes after spring football practice.

I could feel MY arteries clogging just looking at it.

^^^^Uh oh - and up until now I completely respected you and then in one brief post you've destroyed all of that. JK. To each her own.

I agree with the "love Boston Market" posters. There was a busy time in our lives when that was as close as we came to a home cooked meal. Unfortunately, they closed all of the ones here.

I can sleep now!

I love the container store, too. I squeal over post-it's like 12 year old girls over Justin Beiber. I just like mixing my food, I guess.

The "mess" (ouch) in the picture is a Garbage plate, in fact, my favorite garbage plate. It's basically home fries and macaroni salad, with some sort of meat over it plus "hots" and other condiments (and if anyone here is from or has lived in WNY, you understand me when I say something with ground beef in it is a condiment). The one I posted is a hot dog garbage plate, my favorite (minus that crazy amount of ketchup), but the original usually has cheeseburger patties and italian rolls instead of the hot dog.

You can get them with fish, eggs, sausage, pretty much anything.

That, my friends, is what college-aged guys (and gals) will eat at 2am after drinking beer all night.

They're great but I almost never finish a whole garbage plate (that's what she said).

ETA: Honeychile, can you explain to me why I can eat that, and the KFC bowls, and mix together my entire Thanksgiving dinner (complete with shredding the roll and mixing it with my potatoes), but I can't get behind slaw and fries on a Primanti Brother's Sandwich? I think it's because I'm not huge on cabbage.

ETA2: Oh man. I just realized that you guys are going to think that you can't take me anywhere. I do NOT do this with meals at fine restaurants.

OK, so I do, but just a little bit. Mostly because I wasn't sure if it was a soup or a dip.

Wasn't there a PBS show on sandwiches from around the country? I know they mentioned the Hot Brown (eerily like our Turkey Devonshire), and some loose meat sandwich.

Okay, I checked! It's a special by local boy Rick Sebak of WQED, Sandwiches That You Will Like. A lot of them were disgusting, but I was going to Buffalo that summer, and tried the Beef on Weck. Pretty good, but not an Italian Beef from Chicago.

ETA1 - Once you've tried a Primanti's (and turned your back on the cook to eat it the way you'd like), you'll love it. Especially if you like the above!

ETA2 - Don't worry about none of us wanting to eat with you unless someone tries to put a bib on you first! As I said, food porn is different for everybody. Mine must include chocolate! How do you think the Cold Stone people came up with their concept?

ETA3 - I love the Container Store, too!

You're pulling on my heart strings here. My hometown is situated about an hour and a half southeast of Buffalo and two hours south of Rochester (which is where the Garbage Plate) comes in.

Beef on Weck is the #1 thing that I miss from home (yes, even more than Buffalo Wings, but that's probably because I guzzle Frank's Hot Sauce like it's my job). I went to this great place in Virginia of all places and it was a bar owned by a guy from Buffalo. The Beef on Weck was fantastic and that was the first time I had had a Beef on Weck in over a year. Since then, I have one every time I go home, doesn't matter the weather.

I have had an Italian Beef here. In my mind, it was pretty good, but not a Beef on Weck. I think the closest yinzers have is Ox Roast.

I heard about a craving for bacon, and better ways to achieve heart attack status. So I had to post this masterpiece, aka "Bacon Explosion." I'm not sure there are many better ways to have a heart attack induced than by eating this.


Step1: Bacon Basket Weaving.


Step 2: Add a rub to the bacon, add cooked spicey Italian Sausage.


Step 3: Add BBQ sauce (I'm partial to Sweet Baby Rays), brown sugar, and cooked crumbled bacon (not pictured).


Step 4: Mold into a meatloaf shape.


Step 5: Roll it up!


Step 6: Slather that beauty with more BBQ.


Step 7: Cook it until the bacon is cracklin!

(I should note that I think this Bacon Explosion is being smoked over hickory chips, but i've seen it done on a regular gas grill before too)

Step 8: Eat, enjoy, and don't die from a heart attack if you can help it.

LOL. There's nothing sad about that. LOL. It's all about how you put it together and all things in moderation.

Haha, that's true.

I doubt that I'll ever find myself making a bacon roll. Ever.

I was mighty happy to find a Chipotle so close to my house. I didn't know there were any in my city until I happened to drive past one.

Irish.....ew. That is all.
