Haha yeah they cut a corn cob in half and put it at either end of the stick. It was nicknamed Cobzilla.

Though I'd plant a field of these things if I could.

I'd eat it but I like my food to be practical. I've never been a fan of silly presentations that make things more difficult to eat.

My lunch on Friday. Every Friday they have something crazy and it's only $8.

Looks awesome. Sounds like a really fun place to go if you want to try something different. I myself suffer from always getting the same fucking thing I like because it is safe. More places should do this.

McCheese only uses his hands if it's a high class meal, like dipping cold pizza rolls in ranch dressing or eating a 12 pack of lofthouse cookies.

I have a bad habit of getting chimichangas at mexican places.

Also, chinese buffets. Well, american chinese buffets, where half the dishes all taste the same. Not sure how I'd like actual legit chinese food.

Haha will do Grimm.

This place doesn't make money on these at all (you get all this food for $8 every week, it's insane), they just do it for press and because it's fun. Their chef is awesome, I've helped design one of them in the past. He always comes out and talks to everyone and don't judge this place as some crap bar that needs gimmicks, it's actually a somewhat fancy place that is on the shore of one of the main lakes here where all the people with money are.

You'll note he always has an asparagus spear in every one, it's a running gag on making sure you are still eating your vegetables. Also you'll note eggs in many of them. That's for someone who was a regular there and passed away and he always ordered eggs, they do it to kinda honor him I'm told.
As you can see, the place is huge and has it's own pier to tie up at even.

I've been them a few times outside of Fridays due to how much I like their chef and wanting them to make some money off me some of the time. (not that they need it)

Here are a couple of their past "Fat Pants Friday" dishes that have been near the top of my list as favorites. (descriptions copies from their Facebook posts)

Calling all 'meat 'n potatoes' guys & gals: Hold on to your (whatever) while we introduce today's FAT PANTS FRIDAY special. It's THE MUSCLE MAKER!!

This carb-loading, protein-bursting mound of magnificence begins with a Double-Baked Potato topped with Bacon Jam, chopped Bacon, Fini Fondue Cheddar Sauce, Pickled Fresno Peppers and Scallions.Then we layer in a generous portion of tender sliced BROILED RIBEYE STEAK, stuff Deep-Fried, Sriracha Cheese Curds over that. Add a generous handful of Crispy-Fried Onions and a bit more Fini Fondue Sauce. It's capped with a Bun and accessorized with our favorite bit of greenery, that ever-loving grilled Asparagus Spear.

Drum roll please! It's this week's FAT PANTS FRIDAY special. A light, summertime platter we've christened CLUCK,OINK & OMG.
This week Chef Angel decided to take things in a different direction -- he decided to build out, not up! He's brought together a Stacked Pork Belly Slider with 2 patties and plenty of American Cheese as the star surrounded by a Gerhard's Stuffed Brat smothered in our 6Smith Chili and Cheddar Cheese. Then we've added pieces of both dark and white BBQ Honey-Glazed Roasted Chicken. Everything is nested on a bed of Hand-Cut Fries. And, our lovely Asparagus Spear is nestled sweetly on top!
On a side note, the pork belly slider here is possibly the best burger I've ever had. The Baked potato stuffed with chili, cheese and corn was tip top too.

The most popular FAT PANTS FRIDAY special is back -- it's the BACON BURGER BOMB!

What's better than beef & bacon? More beef & bacon! This bodacious burger has two Bacon Patties, White American Cheese, Bacon, Bacon Butter, Bacon Bits, Bacon Dust, Thousand Island Dressing on a Pretzel Roll - with our always heroic spear of Asparagus.

It's time to unveil our FAT PANTS FRIDAY special, the Dixie Chick Filet Gladys Knight!

Yup, there's no need to take a midnight train to Georgia, 'cause we're bringing the South to you this Friday. Chicken & Waffles? Check. Biscuits & Sausage Gravy? Check. Crispy onions? Caramelized Onions? Bacon Jam? Check. Check. And, check. All capped with two Pork Sausage Links and a Hot Chili Pepper. Is it good? Why, yes, ma'am, it is!

This place also has one of the best Bloody Mary Bars I've ever come across when it comes to their Sunday Brunches.

This isn't to say everything they make is something I love.

Anytime I hear McCheese talking about making sandwiches, this is the first thing that always comes to mind. I feel this was created with McCheese in mind.

I couldn't fin't a description but they called it "The Cuban Missile" Yes, that's a whole loaf of homemade hollowed out bread. It probably weighed 5lbs when all was said and done. I ate maybe 1/4 of it...it was good....just way too much.

He just said he likes his food to be practical. He's not gonna eat a sandwich with a knife and fork!

I'd probably have a 15th heart attack, but I think I'd still eat that.

Most of the things though, it just seems so overdone. That one at least looks like it has some order and purpose. (Don't misunderstand me, I'd eat those, too if allowed.)

Yeah most of those seemed a bit much, but I'd eat as much of that Cuban Missile as I could before passing out.

Well yeah, that's the point really.

I will say the one with the pork belly slider though....it just seems all crazy because it's on a bed of fries. If not for the fries you have have separate distinct dishes and it would seem so crazy.

If I have to assemble and/or disassemble the food then it's difficult to eat, imo. I don't go out and pay my hard-earned money to have people shove a bunch of ingredients onto a skewer only to have me immediately remove them from the skewer. Shit's silly!
