My head hurts and I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. When you break it down to its constituent parts, it's just fried chicken, cheese, ham, and BBQ sauce. I'm sure it would be easy to make an actually good version of that using quality versions of said parts.

This reminds me of this monstrosity I had at the Ballyhoo Grill in Gainesville, FL (pic stolen from yelp):  When I read the description on the menu, I thought it would be more like the one in your picture. A burger in the middle of a grilled cheese sounded pretty good. I wasn't expecting the buns to be individual grilled cheese sandwiches. It was pretty much impossible to eat like a regular burger - this tiny picture doesn't really do it justice to how big it is. You pretty much had to disassemble it and eat the parts individually. It was delicious but looking at it reminds me of how sick it made me feel for the rest of the day so it's anti-food porn to me. e: you can't really see it in the pic but tehre's an egg in there too yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 06:50 on Jun 10, 2015 |

No. Poutine is heaven. I get pulled pork poutine sometimes, and it's AMAZING.  Those are my legs underneath that box. I think it weighed three pounds. It took all day to eat it. I fear for my health.

I moved to a new town today. No more fast food, but there is a bar/restaurant which features a double-bacon-cheeseburger with grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns. I may just post one final hurrah, because it is ridiculous looking, but I don't want this silly food-review thing to wear out its welcome. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Since this is now the 'post food you want to eat' thread, here's a costco poutine. It costs, like, 4,50.  I also had a Butter Chicken poutine once. It was pretty good, though I tend toward the basic one. Edit: Might as well mention. There's also a dish in Newfoundland called "Chips, dressing and gravy", it's fries topped with turkey dressing and gravy. Tiberius Thyben has a new favorite as of 07:31 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Pomp posted:How is poutine with cream gravy? I've had this with extremely crispy, heavily-fried french fries and fried egg along with the cheese curds. It was a very breakfasty sort of poutine, but cream gravy always makes me feel sick if I eat too much of it, so I only had a few bites. Extremely good, but cream gravy is not used in traditional poutine

Tiberius Thyben posted:Why wouldn't you want a ham steak and hash browns on it? Are you on a diet, or something? I'm not a huge fan of ham. I eat a large amount of it at Christmas due to the fact my family traditionally gets a big rear end ham on the bone which lasts from two weeks before Christmas till about the start of February. During this time at least 3 dinners a week contain ham, as well as any and all sandwiches being ham. I get hammed out. I only recover from this hump around July when I start eating it in small amounts again. death .cab for qt posted:I know these posts seem like a retreading of the previous article's attempt at describing this burger.

I work at a KFC and can confirm that Double Downs are gross and horrible. They had one with grilled chicken when they first came out that was actually pretty drat healthy for fast food, to their credit. We haven't carried them at my store for like 3 years, other places might still have them, idk. We just had the normal one with cheese, bacon, and sauce here in America though. Those Aussie ones are crazy. salty fries make me cry has a new favorite as of 08:06 on Jun 10, 2015 |

ubergnu posted:Apparently Stockholm is totally bereft of poutine serving establishments. I want try it. It's 3 ingredients and fairly easy to make. Hardest part is the fries. You want them crispy, not soggy. I usually just bake pre-cut fries instead of futzing with frying. You want your gravy to be hot and ready once the fries are done. Homemade duck gravy will be phenomenal, but packaged turkey gravy can work in a pinch, as long as it's gravy you already know you like. Finally, cheese curds. No pussyfooting around this one. You need real, squeaky, quality curds. You can usually find them in chain grocery stores, but the best I've found them wad actually from a butcher who sold cheeses as well. Those fuckers squeaked. Pout hot gravy over freshly cooked fried, and top with cold cheese curds. You want them chilled, not warmed. Eat happily and heartily, but remember: the Quebecois are not forgiven the sin of being Quebecois just because they have poutine

Listen to these people. Make the poutine. Even if it's not perfect, it's still fantastic. Make it a drunk dinner for your friends late one night. You will be revered as a king for the remainder of your days.

My state borders Canada and there are zero places that sell poutine here that I know of. I got a DUI a few years ago so I'm literally banned from entering Canada ever now. I just want some poutine, it sounds really good. Also I haven't driven drunk since before people start making GBS threads on me.

Tonight's dinner.   I didn't want to go to the shops, so I just had a look at what was already in the house. Frozen vegetables, chicken nuggets, some grated cheese. Add some milk, herbs, garlic, tabasco. Good enough when I'm just cooking for myself. Tiggum has a new favorite as of 10:51 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Nah. The closet Australia has to poutine is going to the nearest cornershop and giving the smiling Chinese bloke behind the greasy bain marie five bucks to fill a cardboard box of hot chips with as much dark brown mystery gravy as the box can handle without losing its structural integrity. Drink pairing choice: a slightly lukewarm can of Pasito.

This is sadly true. Except the guy behind the counter is always a rad kiwi guy or an ancient and terrifying Germanic lady in my area. Always. I mostly read this thread to make me not hungry, and all this talk about poutine just makes me sad that I cannot experience it. I can't even find cheese curds here in tyool 2015. I don't even like chips but goddamn do I want poutine like nothing else in this world. Although I've heard that if you're super lucky they might try to make you lovely poutine with fake cheese at lord of the fries, if any Aus goons can confirm/deny or tell me how to acquire cheese curds, the future deathfat me would greatly appreciate it.

I was famished after a marathon 16 hour workday last year and my body said "closest restaurant, biggest thing they serve or I'm out" so I went across the street to the Hardee's and ordered one of these. It was pretty fuckin' good, though I promptly went into a loving food coma afterwards. Those fries on the top layer are actually breaded and fried jalapeno strips.
