  • Lasagna Sandwich

    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

    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.

    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.
