Deep Fried Eggs Benedict

Cooked up this beaut a couple of weeks ago. Me Pa saw it on an episode of You Gotta Eat Here where they featured a Toronto greasy spoon called Hadley's. Basically, it's a deep fried poached egg tossed in corn meal, atop pulled pork, atop hash browns, slathered in Hollandaise Sauce. To create the deep fried egg, you poach an egg, carefully strain the water then drop it into some flour, carefully roll it in flour then transfer to corn meal, carefully corn meal (finer grind the better), and then drop it into some very hot oil. Brown this little deep fried chicken baby and transfer to paper towel to soak up some grease, then chuck it onto your carnivore lasagna! If you've done it right, the egg will remain runny in the middle but with a crunchy shell that will have the easter bunny re-considering her future.

Duck Poutine

A few months ago I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the greatest poutines that I have ever tasted. Without any knowledge of the reputation that follows The Rosedale Diner, a colleague and I took our lunch break in this unsuspecting establishment in hopes of finding a nice greasy burger, typical diner style. What we found inside was not your usual diner - bohemian styled with an Israeli twist, a quick glance at the menu proves that this ain't no regular greasy spoon.  It includes lamb and bison burgers, green peppercorn duck liver pate, and wine-infused Berkshire sausages. Not too shabby, but what immediately caught my attention was the poutine.

Good Morning Poutine

Rolled over this morning, and this is the first thing my tired eyes saw:

Tore right into it.  Used to be Poutini's traditional with bacon. 

A bird, in a bird, in a bird, in a pig!!!

These guys have just gone loco.  They call this the TurBaconEpic, I call it genius.  Whatever you wanna call it, this unholy mutant meal is another gluttonous creation that has left my jaw firmly planted to the greasy floor of the kitchen.  I admire the amount of work this would have taken to prepare.


Gotta love the random Jew!!  Another masterpiece by Epic Meal Time.

The Greasy French Canadian - Best Sandwich Ever?

"20" french toasted Parisian baguette, poutine, quebecois steamy, bacon sandwich covered in 100% pure maple syrup from the tit of The Mother Maple Tree."  Today, I am proud to be Canadian.  Like every other day, but today especially.




Rum on the table, greasy sandwich down the trap.  "It's so good".  I bet it is.

My Double Down Experience

Today is the day of the Canadian Double Down release.  Suprisingly, I couldn't find one friend to join me for lunch today, so I had to go it alone and take down the ground-breaking sammy on my own.

The first thing I noticed about what I would like to call "The Double Down Experience" was the feeling I had before ordering it.  Even on my walk to KFC, I had this ominous feeling in my soul that I couldn't shake.  Like a boy with a potato cannon aimed at a hornets nest, I knew that the outcome of this event was not likely to be a good one - hell it might even hurt - but the excitement of the unknown was too much to bare and I had to follow through with my plan.

Chicken Fried Lady

Who wouldn't want their babes battered up and served with a side of mashed potatoes?!  A little Franks and some Bounty (the quicker-picker-upper) and you may never see me again.  MC Jelly Donut may just be the voice of the Belly Buster generation.



GREASY!!

The Baboon Heart

Another ThisIsWhyYoureFat classic, I could totally go for one of these right NOW!

 Make yo body so booty-licious.

Greasy Food and the Urban Dictionary

I just did a random search for "greasy food" in the Urban Dictionary and mixed in amongst the usual types of answers (Chinese food, taco etc.) was this little number:

Aye carumba! Sounds like a party.  It's also worth checking out the definition for taco, and other definitions with the word 'greasy' located on the left of the page.

GREASY!
