Worst. Food. Ever.

A lot of people wonder why I like food so much but still continue to frequent fast food restaurants. People even question my taste in food because of it. The truth is, fast food tastes good. It’s designed and processed that way. If you don’t like fast food, is probably because you’re smart enough to realize that the reason it tastes good is the same reason it’s terrible for you. Then again, I know that good and well but still need to get my fix every once in a while. There’s just a few things that I could never go without. On that list is KFC’s Famous Bowl.
The Famous Bowl isn’t new or relevant to anything, I just love Famous Bowls. I know, to some people, it’s the most disgusting fast food combination ever created, but to me it’s perfection. I’m one of those people that combines their entire Thanksgiving dinner into one pile until it resembles something that they would serve in prison. The mixture of mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, gravy,and corn makes my Thanksgiving every year. Apparently someone at KFC used this same mixture method and decided to apply it to their menu. Good man.
It was a basic concept to combine mashed potatoes, gravy, and chicken. Who hasn’t mixed their chicken with their mashed potatoes before? They took this a step further adding corn and just got absolutely ridiculous by topping the entire thing with cheese. Whose idea was it to top this heart attack bowl with cheese? Whoever you are, you don’t owe anyone an explanation. You deserve a medal.
The Famous Bowl tops out with 740 calories, 31 grams of fat and 9 grams of saturated fat, 2110 mg sodium. If you’re on a 2,000 calorie diet the bowl provides you with a third of your calories, 47% of your fat and 45% of your saturated fats, and 87% of your sodium. That’s not irresponsible, that’s a bargain.
So to the people who think it’s ridiculous that I like Famous Bowls while giving my opinion on more “respectable” cuisine, I completely agree with you. There’s just something about this mess of slop that I have to have.
On a completely random note, skip to the .52 second mark on this video for more on prison slop. Or just watch the whole thing for comedic greatness.

I also got the missus the biggest Le Creuset roasting/cooking pot I could find. Known as a ‘french oven’ this thing is basically an iron brick shit-house of awesomeness that should survive much longer than I will – particularly if I keep eating stuff delectables made in…the french oven.
We first tried out this thing on Christmas night – the last of the roasted Chicken from our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA – more on that later) – still frozen two months later. Whoops!
Look at this thing. You could throw it down the stairs and the only thing that would get damaged would be the stairs. And anyone at the bottom. Cast iron enameled to protect it from heat up to god-knows-how-hot. The only problem – since it’s iron, you’ve definitely gotta watch that water doesn’t get on the edges, or else they can rust, just like any iron cook wear. We paired the chicken with roasted potatoes and my not-so-patented, roast brussel sprouts (basically stolen from Ina Garden – they are easiest thing ever – cut off stems, halve, toss in bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast at 400 for 35-40 mins until brown and crispy!).
Eat me! I'm delicious and I came out of the biggest pot in the world!
Good gracious - we threw some potatoes and onions in there too!
The delicious aftermath…
That is most certainly a full clove of garlic on the bottom of this photo. And I most certainly ate it and breathed deeply on everyone for the rest of the evening. Most certainly.
Be on the lookout for an update to my Chili that I made in this!
