This is Why You're Fat.

[Poppy Fields]

This is why you're fat.
I weep - a mixture of laughter, horror and heartburn.

A small sample:

"Giant Breakfast Burrito

A seven pound breakfast burrito stuffed with potatoes, eggs, onions, and ham bits, lots of cheese on top and smothered in red chile."

It's basically a baby made from cheese.

(Mmmmmm, cheese babies...)

Thats one major burrito! I'd dig into that if were a quarter of the size!

I actually had to to google poutine, I had no idea what that thing was...
Back when I lived in Baltimore is was pretty easy to find a place that served fires with gravy. Damn but that was good...

I had to Google poutine as well! I'm familiar with gravy fries (and was very disappointed to learn that Coloradans had no idea what I was talking about when I moved out here), but the addition of cheese has never thrilled me. HOWEVER... that photo looks not like cheese, but cheese CURDS, and you may have melted my cold, stony heart!

It is, indeed, cheese CURDS (of woe).
And: I add cheese SAUCE to the whole miserable concoction! 'Cos, you know, only live once blah blah blah.
There's a place that does gourmet poutine; it includes lobster and I believe truffles... or it could be foie gras. Must be in Montreal somewhere. The live sans fear, avec butter ;).

Oh. Oh god. Oh my god. Lobster and truffles and butter and fries. I want that served at my wedding. Which may also conveniently become my funeral, if I eat it!
