The disgustingly/awesomely unhealthy food thread

[ElvenFury]

Rather than clog up the Thread of Randomness with more of this...

http://a.abcnews.com/images/Business/ap_kfc_double_down_100409_ssh.jpg

I thought I'd give it it's own thread. The local paper today ran this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MHBORYlBtw)showcasing a pizza place's sub which contains fried chicken, french fries and mozzarella sticks. It's disgusting. I tried it once and let me say that I never thought something could be so greasy and yet so dry all at once. I couldn't eat even half of it.

Ignore the crappy production quality of the video, and feel free to share your own disgustingly/awesomely unhealthy food discoveries.

[BriarFox]

Reminds me of England.

The guy's voice in that video irritates the shit out of me..for the same reason most northern accents irritate the shit out of me... for the same reason good will hunting irritated the shit out of me.

[Kuyuk]

Southern accents make me believe all southerners are dumb.

:(

[Tisket]

Taco Bell's volcano taco, the one with the shell dyed bright red, is pretty disgusting.

Also, the french toast sticks from Jack in the Box. I mean, I'll eat them of course, but even as I'm chewing I'm all like "why the fuck did I put that in my mouth!!".

Hey... we don't leave R out of the alphabet when saying words like Car..and Park... O.o

on a sad note, I saw a truck today with a 'realtree' paint job... a professional one... Part of me wanted to run into it and say Oh sorry..didn't see your truck there... on with the gross foods!

I ate a Jucy Lucy today.

[Jayvn]

that sounds like something that would give you a cold sore

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, I thought about that thing from KFC. Barring that, I would say the quadstacker or eggnormous breakfast from BK.

[Stanley Burrell]

The problem is that Canada has not invented the "super-sized" menu yet. Super-sized poutine would go motherfucking-commando on your arteries like a lumberjack from Yellow Knife, eh?

[Archigeek]

Minnesota pride!

A Jucy Lucy is a cheeseburger with the cheese inside. Lots of gooey yummy cheese. There are two restaurants that claim to be the birthplace of the Jucy Lucy, (or Juicy Lucy if you're the "other" restaurant). See wikipedia.

Heart Attack Grill (http://www.heartattackgrill.com/index.html)

This place was featured on "CBS Sunday Morning" a long while back. They cook everything in lard.. have a 4 patty Quadruple Bypass Burger that's basically 4 full 1/4-pound or 1/3-pound cheeseburgers stacked on top of each other (2 slices of cheese, 1 slice tomato and 1 slice onion, no lettuce, for each burger patty). Oh, and if you weigh more than 350 pounds, you eat for free.

Enjoy!

Minnesota pride!

QFT. Also, Juicy Lucys with bacon in the middle are even more epic.

Pfft, 5-8 Club is where it's at. Actually I've just never been to Matt's.

[AnticorRifling]

The hardees grilled cheese thick burger. Fucking amazing but I'm pretty sure you can feel your heart slowing down as you eat it.

Like the bacon idea! I've been to the 5-8, but I didn't have a Juicy Lucy. I'll have to go back and try it. Matt's is more of a hole in the wall than the 5-8. Neither one is what I'd call classy, but the 5-8 has kind of a nice feel to it, and a decent outdoor seating area.

Zen's Doghouse in the Berkshires.. all of their specialty hot dogs are fucking delicious AND heart attack inducing!

So I did it. I got the double down for lunch today. And just let me say... I'm not sure if I want a shower or a quadruple bypass more urgently.

The chicken was insanely hot and so saturated with boiling grease that it took a good five minutes before I could even hold the monstrosity. The cheese melted and mixed with the oil dripping off the chicken and with the ambiguous mystery sauce to form some kind of coagulating pool of fat at the bottom of the wholly under-prepared paper wrapper, which was almost completely transparent by the time of consumption. All in all, it was undeniably tasty, but definitely one my biggest ever meal regrets (probably second only to that deviled egg eating contest my cousin dared me into years ago).

Should I die before I get home tonight, someone please tell my son that I love him, and that I died from exhaustion after heroically rescuing a group of crippled orphans from a sinking battleship.

ETA: I took pictures with my crappy phone, but I'll have to wait until I get home before I can post them. Assuming I live that long.

I had one of these last night. The KFC I went to had no signs up about it and it was not on the drive through menu. Sure enough they had it when I asked. It was all very cloak and dagger... I was in the secret Double-Down club and knew the password from my internet connections.

I ate this motherfucker like a drunk guy eating a horny fat chick's pussy. God damn thing squirted me in the eye it was so juicy. It wasn’t bad but I would rather have had more bacon, one less chicken patty and put it on a potato roll. I won’t be going back for it. It wasn’t THAT super delicious.

And honestly it wasn’t that greasy. It seems like a Denny’s breakfast would be much worse for you than this thing.

I almost shit my pants laughing. Thanks.

[CrystalTears]

So much for trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle, huh Back?

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Barring that, I would say the quadstacker or eggnormous breakfast from BK.>>

I have never heard of an eggnormous breakfast but I have consumed no less than 50 quad stackers. My staple meal is a quad stacker and iced coffee.

<<for the same reason most northern accents irritate the shit out of me>>

Considering we were here first I am going to make the claim that we don't have accents, only you (general) do.

[Warriorbird]

Those coastal island people argue their accents are more original than y'all's, Bob.

I had one of those 1850 calorie salads from On The Border recently.

Some killer fast food.

Double Down by the Numbers: Unhealthiest Sandwich Ever? (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/04/double-down-by-numbers-unhealthiest.html)
KFC's Double Down Sandwich, an in-your-face collection of bacon, cheese and something called Colonel's Sauce betwixt two fried chicken "buns", is making waves for its unapologetic gluttony, compelling reviews out of everyone from the New York Times's Sam Sifton to the Onion's Nathan Rabin. But is it really the caloric monstrosity that it appears?

To get this out of the way: I haven't eaten a Double Down. I probably will. And I'll probably like it. But there are so many much tastier ways to clog your arteries here in New York that it's not high on the priority list.

So instead, let's start with the Double Down's calorie count: 540 calories for the crispy "Original Recipe" version and 460 for a grilled variant. Those seem like big numbers, but by fast food standards, they're pretty mild: the Burger King Chicken Tendercrisp weighs in at 800 calories, for instance, and Jack-in-the-Box's Ranch Chicken Club will set you back 700. Calorie counts for burgers are even higher: 1,320 for a Hardee's Monster Thickburger, and 1,350 for a Wendy's Triple Baconator. Even the humble Big Mac, a lightweight by modern standards, contains 540 calories, exactly the same number as the Double Down.

But calorie counts are overrated. We all need to eat, to the tune of about 2,000 calories per day for a healthy adult. It's not the calories so much as what you do with them. Are you getting a lot of fat, cholesterol, and sodium (bad)? Or lots of fiber and vitamins instead?

[Bobmuhthol]

Oh God I have eaten so many triple Baconators. I am going to die.

[Cephalopod]

I've only ever done a 'single' Baconator. I'm afraid the triple might dislocate my jaw.

We all know that's a lie.

Trust me, you're a single.

[Bobmuhthol]

It's definitely not a burger you want to fuck with. I usually opt for the double if I have any reason not to feel disgustingly full for the next few hours.

Edit: Leave me out of the fellatio innuendo.

[Back]

This affirms my suspicion that a Denny's Gland Slam is worse for you and that KFC is profiting greatly off of the internet hype.

HAHAHAHAHAAH HE SAID FELLATIO HAHAHAHAHA.

:-X

Actually no. I did not come here to sexually harass Alex. Srry(?!) I came here to say I'm going to go have Pan fried pork dumplings right now. I cant eat them without thinking about Kung Fu Panda and that I want to learn Kung Fu. And I hate the word 'dumpling'.

The End.

[ElvenFury]

Dumpling is now my pet name for Rojo.

It's a good pet name. Actual dumplings though are disgusting.

MONTREAL — Bacon, poutine and French toast — what's more Quebecois than that? Hot dogs and maple syrup?

Four Montrealers have created a gargantuan sandwich, the Angry French Canadian, which combines all of those things, plus eggs, on a wonderfully greasy baguette that weighs in at 5,343 calories.

The message is: "We're Canadian and we're crazy, too," according to sandwich co-creator Harley Morenstein.
