Nobody Will Ever Be As Awesome As This Person

With their "Best License Plate Ever," accurately dubbed by NYMag.com.

Thanks to Miss Stefania for the tip!

I just submitted two photos to thisiswhyyourefat.com. Of things I've eaten.

What does that say about me? Probably nothing good.



1)
The Luther Burger (a bacon cheeseburger w/ a grilled glazed donut for a bun). Cooked by my buddy Sam Henderson and eaten by me and my buddies in the now-defunct burger club.

I thought it might make me barf but it was actually pretty tasty. I'd eat it again! Most of the donut's glaze fell off when we grilled it, so it functioned more like a potato roll- a nice sweet counterpart to the savory beef, bacon, and cheese.



2)
Bacon and Velveeta-stuffed cheeseburger. Also made by Sam for burger club consumption. Delish. We did another one stuffed with tomato, basil and mozzarella which was also good.

Check out thisiswhyyourefat.com and tell me some of that stuff doesn't look good! I am positively salivating over the McNuggetini (A McDonald’s chocolate milkshake with vanilla vodka, rimmed with BBQ sauce and garnished with a chicken McNugget.)

Almond-Stuffed Dates wrapped in Bacon

I had these snacky delights at a friend's house on Saturday night. I will admit, I was a little hesitant because of the dates. I have texture issues with dried fruit. But oh man. I'm an idiot. Anything wrapped in bacon is delicious, obvs. And the texture was amazing- crispy bacon, chewy dates, crunchy almonds. Sweet and savory dancing a forbidden waltz.

I am def making these for Thanksgiving. Here's a recipe from Apartment Therapy's food blog, The Kitchn. I almost wish they weren't so easy to make, because now I'm going to want to eat them ALL. THE. TIME.

Tip: Apparently the toothpicks aren't necessary. So if you don't have them on hand or forget to pick them up at the store, proceed anyway!

upDATE: I tried making these on Thanksgiving and it was a total disaster. I should have fried them in a pan instead of baking them in the oven. There was a bacon grease spillover/neverending smoke situation which was somewhat embarrassing.
