Lasagna Sandwich

by Jeremy on July 20, 2010 · 2 comments

No one would call any part of the U.K. a haven for great food, but this is sad. 

Something fraudulently called the lasagna sandwich sold in the U.K.

If you are going to make a lasagna sandwich, bring it strong or don’t bring it at all.  I like how this article claims it “rivals even the most fattening American treats.”  This particular lasagna sandwich has 565 calories and 27g of fat.  Seriously?  That’s a light snack.  Check out the JJ Gargantuan.  I love our cousins from across the pond but stick to beer, or at least fish and chips.  Leave the gluttony to the experts.  In the meantime…

Jeremy’s Grossly Simplified Recipe for a Lasagna Sandwich

Step 1:  Make lasagna

Step 2:  Make two slices of garlic bread (use Italian bread)

Step 3:  Cut a slice of lasagna a little larger than the slices of bread.

Step 4:  Assemble sandwich

Step 5:  Consume

That could be really delicious…note to self:  Make lasagna sandwich sometime very soon.

Footlong Cheeseburger

by Jeremy on July 16, 2010 · 1 comment

I know that KFC got a lot of publicity for the Double Down — not the least of which was from EP — but it seems like there is a subtle, unspoken race to outdo the Colonel.  The Orange County Register, which I read religiously, has clued us in on a new contender.   Welcome the addition from Carl’s Jr.:  The Footlong Cheeseburger.

Carl's Jr. Footlong Cheeseburger

Where's the beef?

Call me crazy, but it sure just appears to be three patties (above picture is half of the footlong) poorly arranged on a sub bun.  Subway would catch hell for this lack of tessellation.  I’m sure Carl’s Sr. is rolling over in his grave, I mean it’s pretty much just an elongated triple cheeseburger.  I’m not impressed.

By the way, I’m still waiting for my lifetime supply of free Frosty’s, Wendy’s.  It’s an extremely generous offer to save your moribund eatery.  And it won’t last forever.

I have a new love. Poutine.

French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. As guy that used to bag my groceries at the Kroger would say, so good they make you want to slap your Mamma.  I would never lay a hang on my mother, but seriously.  Look at these things.

Double Down Redux

by Jeremy April 21, 2010

It is time for the rest of our fast food establishments to catch Double Down fever!  I have the following suggestion for Wendy’s, and my only compensation request will be free Frosty’s for life.  They don’t even need to be twisted, just the plain old Frosty will do.

I was introduced to Dragon 88 years ago by friends. Dragon was a good gathering spot during college and has, to my knowledge, been around for years.  Legend has it that the restaurant opened in 1988, which also happens to be the year  of the dragon in the Chinese calendar.  There used to be [...]

The Mc10:35 – I did it.

by John March 13, 2010

A few days ago, Jeremy wrote about a new McDonalds menu item that has been sweeping the nation.  This item is called the Mc10:35, and can only be ordered at 10:35 AM which is the only time you can order simultaneously off of the breakfast and regular menu.  The sandwich is a combination of the [...]

The Mc10:35

by Jeremy March 9, 2010

While I’m not a fan of McDonalds I do enjoy an Egg McMuffin every now and then.  Apparently in San Francisco of all places they have conjured up this sandwich, known as the Mc10:35.

Below is the recipe for this portable heart attack.  Thanks to The Consumerist and fark.com for the heads up.
1. Go to McD’s right [...]
