This is Why You’re Fat
This is a new blog that my husband found and it’s pictures of huge, grotesque meals that some people eat. Part of me is totally cracking up because who in their right mind puts corn dogs on a pizza but I have to be honest, some of the food grosses me out to the extreme. Like the Turbaconucken which is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, all wrapped in bacon. I’ve heard of the turkey, chicken, duck combination before but wrapped in bacon. Oh my gosh, that makes my insides squirm.
The bi-line of the blog is “Where dreams become heart attacks.” True that! This just reminded me of the show I’ve told you about, Man vs Food, where the host Adam eats ridiculous amounts of food. During the beginning of the show he doesn’t do any challenges but he eats these types of large portions of food. It’s so gross. Except of course when he eats something sweet, then I’m all over it.
Since we’re talking about Man v Food here’s this weeks synospis:
Adam’s chow-down quest brings him to Seattle, Washington this week for a big, breakfast challenge. But first, he visits Red Mill Burgers, which has been serving up delicious milkshakes, onion rings (voted best in the country), and a wide variety of award-winning burgers. Since Adam can’t leave Seattle without sampling some Pacific-fresh seafood, his next stop is The Crab Pot. Here, fried fish lovers devour the Captain’s Combo, an overflowing plate of shrimp, cod, halibut, clam strips, and calamari.
Hopefully Adam saves some room for this week’s challenge: the Southwestern Exposure at Beth’s Cafe. Open since 1954, Beth’s is a Seattle institution. The challenge is a 12-egg omelet filled with cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, and beef brisket chili. Normally, only one person takes on this challenge at a time, but Adam is going head to head with someone who has already defeated this breakfast behemoth. The first to finish the omelet wins. Does Adam have what it takes to beat one of Seattle’s best eaters?
Man vs Food is on Wednesdays at 10pm on the Travel Channel.
Check out This is Why You’re fat here. I want you to look at this site and tell me if some of it doesn’t look desish and some of it doesn’t gross you out. Which ones? I want to know which ones you’d actually eat. I’d like to try the deep fried coca cola.

Totally NOT the website to send me to when I’m battling morning sickness- I about gagged just looking at the photo above. It reminds me of the time Ben and I went to this this minuscule town smack in the middle of Mexico. We ordered a pepperoni pizza at their “Italian” restaurant, only to have the pizza arrive with ketchup for the sauce, and hot dogs for the “pepperonis”! It was almost inedible, so I can only imagine what this must taste like- yuck!

The cheesecake on a stick and the french fries around the hot dog on a stick might actually be tasty. Most of brought to mind quadruple bypass surgery, though. Where dreams become heart attacks is the perfect byline. No false advertising there. And yes, that turbaconucken was about the sickest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve got to start recording this show!
