Breakfast on a Burger

Tonight, I felt like I was on an episode of Man v. Food. Is anyone familiar with this show? It comes on the Travel Channel and follows this guy who travels back and forth across the United States exploring different regional cultures and looking for the craziest eating challenges. I'd been aware of the show for a while and had steered clear because I figured it would be a disgusting display of eating competitions. *picturing hotdog and egg eating contests and turning my nose up* But I was wrong. Instead, I get to watch adorable Adam Richman (yes he is a bit overweight but still adorable) get cozy with the locals and freak out at every challenge as if he hasn't done something similar to it more than twenty time before. I have placed his challenges into two categorie. The first one is quantity because he's usually expected to eat an insane amount of food. Here are a couple of pictures of what this crazy man has attempted to consume in one sitting.



Ultimate Slider Challenge at Chompie’s


If I remember correctly, this challenge consisted of twelve steamed mini beef patties with cheese and grilled onions as well as a POUND (I might be exaggerating) of fried onion strings that he was supposed to be able to put down in thirty minutes. I do believe food won this one.



Eagle's Deli Burger Challenge at Eagle's Deli in Boston



This monstrosity is made up of eight 1/4 or 1/2 pound beef patties, slices after slice of cheese and too much bacon. And don't forget about the fries. So many that you need two plates?? Forget about it. He's a Crazy Man! with a cast iron stomach! And I do believe he managed to win this one. Had an entire hour... I think.



"Ludicrous Wings" Challenge at The Chicken or the Egg



Doesn't even look like that much food does it? Well the second type of challenge category is fiery. Here is where Adams's expected to eat something insanely hot. Please allow me to say Crazy Man! once again. Crazy Man! And these are made special with habanero pepper extract and what they call "satan's blood". (The devil is a lie.)

You know what? I've gotten COMPLETELY off topic. Is anyone wondering what all this extreme eating has to do with breakfast on a burger? I'm beginning to. All this Man v. Food business was supposed to serve as an intro to this...



Steak 'n Shake's Royale Steakburger



Does anyone else see what I see? There is bacon and egg on this burger! Hence, breakfast on a burger. While I was eating this deliciousness (Yes, I know that fast food is the devil -- Been mentioning him a lot in this post, huh?) I was taken back to an episode of Man v. Food where hashbrowns as well as a fried egg were put on a burger. So I figured I would use that show as an introduction. Got carried away, I guess. Oh well. There you go. Not usually a fan Steak 'n Shake but I guess I recommending this burger. It was pretty good by it Actually, I usually call them Choke 'n Puke *shrug* I don't think there's any smooth way to end this post after that bit of information so I'm just gonna end it. Tah.
