OK, now I'm hungry! 'Course, I come from the land below the Mason Dixon line of "if ain't fried, it ain't food."
However, you have to see the irony of such a post, given the pizza around here (which I'm about to go reheat a slice of Chicago deep dish from Papa Savarios). I have a feeling the lady down at the pizza shop on Roosevelt (I can't think of the name) is still laughing at the southerners she served for the first time a year ago. "Dear Lord, THAT'S not a pizza, that's a friggin' pepperoni wedding cake!"
mmm... poutine. That's got to be one of the top 5 things ever to come out of Canada. Although, come to think of it, I've never had it outside of Quebec province, so maybe it hasn't made it's way out just yet.

The Tribune ran a story a few weeks back, during the Olympics - reviewed five or six places that make poutine. I think most were in Chicago proper, though.

Hi, Did you see the Bacon-Cheese Turtles on page 2 of that website? Cute! But probably a zillion calories.
Has anyone ever been to the Diner Grill on Irving Park Rd in Lakeview? We lived near that place when we lived in the City. Never really noticed it until we drove past there late at night once. It was packed! Mostly they cater to the late-night drunk crowd, anxious to consume major carbs. We took our friend there when he was visiting from NY. At 155 lbs., this guy can eat just about anything. He took the "Slinger" challenge and managed to eat it in under 10 minutes. Amazing.
A friend of mine discovered this website over a year ago....when I first looked at it, I'd find one or two things that looked/sounded mildly appetizing. But after continuing through the multiple pages of artery-clogging crap, I'd go back and realize that they suddenly didn't look so tasty anymore....
This site is a dream for anyone trying to watch what he or she consumes. Everytime I look at it, I want to consume little more than soup and salad, lol. It's funny, but not at the same time. There are people who consume this kind of junk daily and think there's nothing wrong with it....yet our population just continues to get larger and larger as time passes. It's quite sad.

Different strokes (no pun intended) for different folks...
Example: My company's home office is in Newport Beach, CA (Laguna). Everytime I go out there, it's the guys with the six-packs that seem to have the arm candy. I'm from the outerbanks of NC. It's the guys down there with the "party ball" that have the arm candy. When you ask one of the NC guys "hey man, how about doing a sit-up every now and then", they'll tell you "who wants a 6 pack when you can have a party ball, tap included! L.I.V.I.N Baby, livin'. Now get in the truck and let's go have some fun!" When you ask one of the guys in Newport "hey man, how can you eat that without anything on it?" they'll tell you "I'm getting too fat, my size 31, $600, jeans don't make my butt look good anymore. Now get in the Ferrari and let's go check out the new Porsche sedan!" I'm just sayin'
Lol, I know what you're saying. I'm not exactly Barbie Doll-esque either. It's more a matter of health that I was referring to. Eating that kind of stuff cannot have any sort of positive health ramifications. I probably should've worded that last post differently.
I did forget to mention that I had NO idea how many items bacon could be wrapped around until I saw that site!
