5 Fish Platters You Won’t Find at Red Lobster

Like most suburban white trash families, when I want a first class seafood dinner, I pack up my twelve children into our Dodge Caravan, grab the latest set of Red Lobster coupons from my entertainment book and head out to the local Red Lobster.

While there are so many delicious varieties of Seafood at Red Lobster, there are always a few things they don’t ‘QUITE’ offer.  The following seafood you will either have to put together yourself or get customized by your buddy who works the grill at McDonalds.

The Garbage Plate

(via thisiswhyyourefat.com)

The Garbage platge is a combination of either cheeseburger, hamburger, Italian sausages, steak, chicken, white or red hots, a grilled cheese sandwich, fried fish, or eggs, served on top of one or two of the following: home fries, fries, beans, and mac salad. The plate is adorned with optional mustard, onions or hot sauce.

9 Decker Filet O Fish

Sorry folks, the 9 decker Filet of fish is a McDonalds exclusive for the time being.  I’m sure Red Lobster has got to have something similar though!

Mc Surf n Turf

Another McDonald’s exclusive here people.  Can’t decide between a burger or a Filet o Fish? Why not put your hands together my fat little friend?

Deep Fried Fish Tacos

We were so close to actually eating healthy with these fish tacos, but we figured it wouldn’t have been very American of us.  So of course we broke out the deep fryer and made sure that fish was nicely battered before submerging it in bubbling hot lard.

Deep Fried Salmon

No matter how hard I try, I can’t leave something that is naturally healthy, such as Salmon and leave it healthy.  In this case, we battered the living hell out of these beautiful Salmon filets and let them bubble in my deep fryer long enough to kill off any health benefits.  Delicious.

14 Pizzas Worth Dying For

These days Pizza is as American as Apple pie. When a food becomes American you have to be prepared for some extremely unhealthy variations to rear their ugly heads and Pizza is no exception.  Below I will exhibit 14 pizzas that many people would not hesitate to stuff down their gullet.

Some of the pictures courtesy of   this is why you’re fat.

Hot Dog And French Fry Pizza

Want to combine hot dog day and pizza day at school all into one tasty glorious day? Eat a Hot Dog & French fry pizza!

Turkish Kebab Pizza

I love Kebabs and I also love pizza, who knew they would go together so well.  Too bad the presentation was horrible; they need to learn a lesson or two from the fast food giants!

Snack Bomb Pizza

Feel like a pizza, but aren’t in the mood for traditional toppings?  Why not covere your pizza with your favorite snacks and combine snacking with well, getting fat.  This pizza features french fries, sliced corn dogs, Doritos and KFC Popcorn Chicken.

Happy Meal Pizza
Since McDonalds no longer offers pizza, I guess we will have to take it upon ourselves to make a ‘Happy Meal McPizza’.

The Corn Dog Pizza
Every time I take a road trip any where in the USA, I always stop at random gas stations and stuff my face with corn dogs.  For some reason the idea of placing full sized corn dogs on my pizza has always evaded me… until today that is.

Junk Food Pizza
This guy reminds me a lot of the Snack Bomb pizza but some of thee toppings are a little more appetizing to me than Doritos.  The Junk food pizza is a large pizza packing potato skins, mini tacos, Jalapeno poppers, onion rings and Mozza Stick.

Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza
You’ve heard of deep dish pan fried stuffed pizza, but have you EVER seen anything this deep dish and juicy? This Chicago style stuffed pizza is so thick you should almost call it lasagna.

Pizza Roll Up

Ever since somebody decided to pour ranch dressing all over their pizza and turned salad dressing into the McChicken Sauce of the pizza world, I’ve been steadily watching my stomach take over the space previously occupied by my weiner.  This pizza takes an all meat pizza, soaks it in Ranch dressing then rolls it up like a fruit roll up.

Deep Fried Pepperoni Pizza
One of my favorite pizza’s in the world is a New York style slice of Pepperoni pizza dripping with oil.  I always wondered who would top it, that was until I found these pictures. Let me introduce to you, a deep fried pepperoni pizza.  Yumm!

How to Make Deep Fried Pizza

The Meta Pizza
Awww how cute, this pizza gave birth to little baby pizzas and is offering them to us as a topping on itself.  How selfless.

Hamburger Crust Pizza

At first I thought this pizza was just burnt, but after further investigation, some genius created a pizza that had a complete ground beef burger crust.  Bring on the Atkins dieters!

Gravy Pizza
What do you do when you get sick of using Ranch dressing as dipping sauce for your pizza? Step it up a notch and soak that grub in gravy, that’s what.

The Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger
This Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger is pure genius.  Take two meat pizzas and squash a ton of beef, bacon, and cheese in between those two pizzas and pack in probably 2000 calories of heart exploding goodness per slice.

Fast Food Reality

Have you ever seen a McDonald’s or Wendy’s advertisement  and really appreciated how delicious a sandwich or burger looked.  You were so impressed that you went to said fast food restaurant and ordered yourself one.

You fork over your hard earned white collar cash expecting to receive the same beautiful masterpiece shown in the ads just to be let down by a sloppy disgusting looking sandwich that was probably made by an ex inmate.

Sure, you can’t expect that much for a burger that is delivered in less than three minutes but give me a break people, false advertisement is false advertisement.  If you are going to advertise sexy full figured burgers don’t give me a squashed beef patty with some sort of material that is supposed to pass as cheese.

Think I’m just trash talking fast food restaurants? Naaa, I can appreciate a two cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s when nursing a hangover as much as the next guy, but seriously, quit advertising your food as designer foods and start advertising it like it is. Cheap, fast and greasy.

Delicious Unhealthy Breakfasts

Breakfast is a meal that is pretty hard to mess up; eggs, bacon, sausage and a little grease is pretty easy to put together even for the over entitled rich snobby bitches out there with silver spoons up their asses. 

Now that I’ve ousted myself as a poor, jealous jerk, there is one thing having lots of money can do; buy LOTS of extra ingredients.  Money enables people to enjoy things in excess, alcohol, sex and yes food.

The following foods, are greasy yet tasty things you can build if you have extra money and a craving for an extra thirty pounds of body fat.

The Thunderdome
Nothing spells heart attack like an over abundance of cholesterol packed meat. The Thunderdome packs three delicious stacks of bacon, sausage, elk meat, onions and cheese.  We mix all this meat between tortillas and we top her all off with sour cream, two fried eggs and chopped up green onions.

 

Scotch Egg On-A-Stick
Deep frying stuff seems to be the next big thing in food technology.  You get all the tastiness of the original food coupled with a scrumptious batter and all the grease deep frying adds to your health conscious diet.  This particular item contains a hard boiled egg on a stick nonetheless.  We then wrap that egg in sausage, roller up in breadcrumbs then toss her in the deep fryer until she is nicely cooked.

 

The Kannbial
With a name like Kannibal you either don’t know how to spell or you really like eating your own meat.  Hrmm, eating your own meat sounds pretty sick, but so does dying at the ripe age of 23 from cardiac arrest.  To help arrange an early grave this breakfast sandwich bumps your cholesterol 30 points through the following tools:
Three meat patties, one beef sausage, one ham sausage paddy, one fried egg and sliced ham covered in minced beef. All of this is jammed in an over-sized bun.  Take that Dennys!

Egg n’ Ham Sammich
When I think of the tasty part of eggs, I immediately think of runny gooey yolks.  It has actually been a dream of mine for years to invent yolk butter. That is right, butter made completely out of yolk.  If salmonella poisoning wasn’t so damn dangerous I’d be diving in my money bin of yolk money just like Scrooge McDuck right about now.

Anyways, this sammy is your traditional ham and cheese sammy, but to spice things up a bit, we’ll top her off with 11 sunny side up egg yolks.  When I die, they better be serving these in Heaven or I’m getting my money back.

Heart Attack Sandwich
Normally you wouldn’t find chicken in anything I would cook.  Why? Because chicken is healthy and I’m still young; that means I’m invincible and I can eat what I want!  There are certain instances where I will allow healthy foods in my recipes, but this is not one!  The only place chicken has in this recipe, is in the type of cooking we will use.  If you don’t know what chicken fried means, it simply means deep fried ala fried chicken!

The heart attack sandwich contains chicken fried steak, chicken-fried bacon, a country sausage, a fried egg, a fried green tomato topped with cheddar cheese and sandwiched between buns toasted in bacon fat, all served with a gravy dipping sauce.

 

Giant Breakfast Burrito
Size does matter, don’t let anybody tell you differently.  Now guys, before you put your head down and go cry yourself to sleep over your small ‘sausage’, I’m actually talking about food.  The giant breakfast burrito is like the Shaquil O’Neil of breakfast burritos.  It’s large and it kicks a lot of ass.  This bad boy is over seven pounds of heavenly bliss.  The giant breakfast burrito comes stuffed with potatoes, eggs, onions, and ham bits, lots of cheese on top and smothered in red chile.

Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks
This one is very simple, and is more of a breakfast appetizer.  This one is great for when super rich, super fat aunt and uncle come over to stay for a weekend.  Confirm a good placement in their will, then feed them a few dozen of these a day.  Give them a few dozen extra in a doggy bag when they leave for best results.

Breakfast Deserts

People have different taste buds, and some people are just more into a sweeter breakfast than a sodium bomb breakfast sandwich. If you prefer something a little sweeter that will shave a few years off your life, take a gander at these little goodies.

Bacon Donut
This bad boy is geared to all the police officers checking out ‘This Piggy’.  We dedicate the bacon donut to you.  Police are forced to work long hours and get put into dangerous situations all the time.  Sometimes they don’t have the time to stop by Denny’s for a Big Slam Breakfast and need to get their bacon and their donut down the hatch in a hurry.  This donut keeps all the deep fried goodness of a donut but also supplies your daily dose of salt and cholesterol through the addition of bacon. 

Chocolate Covered Bacon
If the Bacon Donut is a little much for you but you still need a little sugar in the am, use a bacon press to get your bacon perfectly straight.  Next, turn on your fondue machine and dip half your bacon in some liquid chocolate.  Seriously, this is better than sex.

Bacon And Fudge Danish Breakfast Sandwich
This guy is pretty simple, grab yourself a fudge Danish, slice her in half and pack her full of as much bacon as your mouth can handle.  Add extra powdered sugar for good measure.

Blueberry Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
This Sandwich is a combination of a regular breakfast and a desert breakfast; and quite possibly the healthiest item on the entire menu.

To make the blueberry waffle breakfast sandwich, take two eggs, two sausages, ham, string cheese and bacon then plaster all these ingredients between two blueberry waffles and drench with maple syrup.
