FROM OUR HYBRID SANDWICHES DESK: Denny's ("Now Serving Black People, Because The Courts Say We Have To"), not satisfied with
stuffing mozzarella sticks inside a grilled cheese sandwich, has introduced the Mac 'N Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt as part of
its new Let's Get Cheesy menu. Yes, a hamburger topped with macaroni and cheese "and zesty Frisco sauce," and you'll never guess
what ingredient a HuffPo blogger believes is lacking.
Oh, I absolutely guessed. When pop culture historians look back on the early years of the 21st century, bacon will be getting its own chapter in the textbooks. The zeitgeist is bacon! [Cue New York resident telling me that bacon is so over and they've moved on to jerky or something]
ReplyDeleteI'm more offended by the "Chicken Fried Steak with Cheese Sauce" on the menu. Chicken fried steak is to be served with cream gravy. Other forms of gravy are not acceptable.
ReplyDelete@Matt - is Dirty's still around in Houston? Best chicken fried steak of my life.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me about this thing from the review is how *small* it is to get you 1600 calories. One of the things folks in the humanitarian business worry about -- I've read -- is how to pack a lot of calories into a small unit to maximize calories delivered per ton. This may be the trick.
Williamsburg is brimming with ultra-hip artisenal jerky shops... or it will be.
ReplyDeleteI love a good queso sauce. I will put cheese on, in, or near anything. But that, that is unconscionable.
ReplyDeleteHello from Williamsburg!!! Jerky- over it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I have to ask all of you...what's wrong with just a great grilled cheese sandwich made at home?
ReplyDeleteYou know, some bread, good tomatoes sliced thinly, cheese...browned a lot of butter in a hot pan. Served with some tomato soup for dipping.
Why would you mess with perfection?
People in Williamsburg know this great place for beef jerky, but it's underground, so you've probably never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out where anyone suggested anything is wrong with it.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks, Matt. Now that it's on this blog, you've ruined it. Everyone knows about it now.
ReplyDeleteWas waiting yesterday in my nabe (Williamsburg) and some hipsters next to me took out jerky. I couldn't stop laughing.
