Epic Portions

  • Ideas/Need Your Help

    My attempt at the Bomber breakfast got me thinking about some new ideas for the site, and I decided that I am going to attempt to hit up all  different dining establishments around my area and document it for the site.  Kind of a poor Anthony Bourdaine thing.  Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can go?  I’m looking for different kinds of places, places that serve large portions of food,  bizarre foods,  eating challenges, or places that have been around for a long time.  If you have a place that you want to reccomend that doesn’t fall within those categories, that’s fine too.  Just comment on here if you have any ideas for me.

    Here is the list I have so far…

    • Buffalo Wild Wings for the blazin wings challenge
    • Zingerman’s Road House
    • Red Hot Lovers
    • Algeiro’s
    • Blimpy Burger
    • Zingerman’s (Deli)
    • Fleetwood Diner
    • Lafayette Cony Island

    I’m at work right now so the list isn’t too extensive at the moment, so any help would be appreciated.

  • Couldn’t Resist…

    Was only going to do those two updates, but I couldn’t resist.

  • Bomber Breakfast. Fail.

    So this morning, I attempted to eat the Bomber breakfast.

    Mine contained 1 pound of hashbrowns, 10 strips of bacon, 4 eggs over easy, and 2 slices of toast.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the hashbrowns..  I wasn’t even that full, but an entire pound of hashbrowns is fucking ridiculous.  Anyways, here’s the pictures.

    So here’s the start.

    The 10 strips of bacon were easy and gives you a better look at the four eggs.  My strategy was to take out the hashbrowns first, but I ended up eating the bacon first.

    I started on the hashbrowns after that, but got sick of them and started working on the eggs.

    This was when I began to hit the wall.  If you can eat a pound of hashbrowns, then you are literally my hero.  Here’s where I stopped.

    I think next time I am going to try it but substitute half of the hashbrowns for a half pound of sausage.  I gaurentee I can do that.
