Man, if I ate either one of those I think I would keel over and die, not from the taste, but from the amount of cholesterol. My heart would explode.

But you'd die with a fast food/greaseball smile on your face.

All I've got to say is that looks totally disgusting!

I can see these being added to the menu of the grease trucks here at Rutgers. *Shudder*

One of my all time favorite foods is wrapped up in a wonderful blend of fatty fantasy, vacation nostalgia and the haze of sleep deprivation: The Captain's Breakfast

This is a meal that I have eaten several times at a place called Gannim's Kountry Kitchen in Key Largo Florida. As an avid scuba diver, the Keys are my vacation destination of choice. Back in the day I used to drive down with my dad for a 4-5 day long weekend of diving a couple times a year. We'd drive straight through from NC so it took around 14 hours to get there and we would time it such that we left here around 5:00 PM and rolled into Largo around 7:00 AM.

Gannim's Kountry Kitchen is right there as you get onto the island and there's no point in trying to check into your hotel room at 7:00. So we stop off to eat breakfast and there on the menu for $6.99 is The Captain's Breakfast.

Deep fry some hash browns and put them in a nice deep bowl. Then cut a buscuit in half and throw it on there. Smother that in sausage gravy (the white kind with big chunks of sausage floating in it). Add to the top of that two fried eggs, sunny side up. Lay on a lattice of 4-5 pieces of bacon and then sprinkle on some shredded cheese that'll melt and you've got The Captain's Breakfast. Then just pour on a liberal helping of Tobasco sauce and dig in!

After you've stayed up almost all night driving and eaten this thing, hopefully the sting of the Tobasco will keep you awake long enough to drag yourself down by the pool at the hotel. There you can fall asleep on a beach chair and get sunburned while they get your room ready. Then go diving, come back to the hotel and eat conch chowder and lobster tails for dinner and you will sleep like you've never slept in your life.

Good times.

Folks don't understand that concept of moderation anymore. Although I don't much like the idea of the Luther burger, prefering not to mix my salty and sugary fat, as long as you get enough exercise (which I honestly don't) and don't eat too much (I do a better job here) you can eat fatty foods without immediately worrying about your health.

When I was in college at Texas A&M, we used to drive about half an hour out of town to this place in Snook, TX that served chicken fried bacon as an appetizer. And I don't mean strips of bacon like you get at Denny's for breakfast, I'm talking bit ole honkin' slabs of bacon, dipped in batter, deep-fat-fried and served with white sauce.

Around here, there are folks who also like to batter and deep fat fry Oreos or Nutter Butters. That sounds pretty disgusting to me, but they seem to be quite popular.

I used to have a friend named Faron, and he for a time he worked at a Backyard Burger, which is sort of like a Rallys, but better. Anyway, while he worked there, he devised a burger which had bacon, cheese, a chili on it. They called it the Faron Burger, and apparently word spread around a bit, and people would actually order Faron Burgers there.
