- Oh, look. 6 Degrees in Bucktown is sellin' horseshoes. Don't know what that is? It's a piece of Texas toast topped with a hamburger patty, topped with french fries, topped with cheese sauce. And it will kill you. But you will die happy. But any fool knows you don't go to 6 Degrees for a horseshoe. You get your ass on down to Springfield and get one at D'arcy's Pint. Ask for Hallie.

You have done something I thought impossible, Stolpman. You have turned me against BBQ.
I was perfectly happy sitting here eating my bran muffin from Trader Joe's and then a full color pic of french fries appears on my screen and now I'm having a really hard time even making my mouth swallow this...this....very healthy fiber laden....muffin...
Thanks for the suburban farmers market link, but what I really want to know is whether the Addison one will be returning this year...
Separately, fries, a burger and toast is great. But together, that thing looks ass-nasty. It looks like it's been eaten already. I'm guessing Burger King or KFC will start selling it next week.
I'd take that "ass-nasty" over the above mentioned bran muffin any day :)
So you're making a clear choice between the "regularity" that a bran muffin offers and the "Is-Ingrid-back-from-lunch-yet?-I-think-she's-still-in-the-ladies-room" punishment that this thing guarantees?
Good luck with that :)
I know...sucks making healthy choices..but I swear...if you showed up at my door right now with those french fries I would gladly take them off your hands!!!
To be honest I do slip up and indulge in stuff like this every once in a while (I had the Italian burger at Hop Haus on Wednesday...a little greasy/juicy, with pesto sauce running down my hand, but I ate the hell out of that thing). But can't get into the "everything plopped together" meals like this or that KFC chicken-mashed potatoes-corn-whatever's left in the kitchen cup they sell.
Hey Stealth...when you were a little kid, were you the kind that would freak out if his mashed potatoes touched the pork chop and if the pork chop touched the peas on his plate? ;)
Late response...
Yeah, how did you guess? Seriously, I tried to keep my food compartmentalized and ate them in sections most of the time (eat all of the mashed potatoes first, then the meatloaf, then the peas). I've gotten out of that over the years...a little. I still like to eat to make each portion last so that there is one last bit of everything.
Yeah, I'm a freak. so what?
But for some reason I liked to mix my cake with my ice cream to make this textured glop. man was that good.
Also my mother says that when I was a baby i used to push the spoon away from my mouth when she was trying to feed me to look at the food first. True story.
I have a strange relationship with food, I know.
lol.
