Last night we watched a show called "World's Best Places to Pig Out" or something like that on the Travel channel. It was . . . disturbing. They started off at a place that makes a burger so huge - it takes 5 lbs. of cheese to top it. An entire basketball team couldn't even finish one. But that was nothing compared to the next place they went - a pub where their motto is "we'll deep fry anything" - which apparently includes cupcakes, Twinkies, ho-ho's, deep fried doughnuts ( kind of an oxy-moron, right?) pizza, etc. etc. The announcer says " deep frying these foods can add up to three times the calories - but customers don't seem to care! After the break - a burrito the size of a human baby!!" Which proved to be true, and looked absolutly gross. Of course if you finish some of these things you get them for free - I don't know about that business model. The last place was what really upset me - an actual restaurant called the "heart attack cafe" - complete with waitresses dressed like naughty nurses and the owner, a former nutritionist mind you, running around in a lab coat with a stethoscope. Everything including the buns and french fries are lathered in LARD, and the burger's size is denoted by single, double, triple or quadruple bypass size. Ew. The worst thing of all is that they have a huge scale there to weigh people - and if you are 350 lbs or more - you eat free for life. At the rate some of these people are going this place isn't going to have to give away too much free food =)
