550326 Wed Aug 20 07:44:33 -0700 2008 54 18 Manhattan 0 3971751 My friend who is a health food fanatic lost a significant bet to me. I dont think he had a french fry in 5 years. The result, he has to eat a meal of my choice in NYC. I am thinking of the following choices; Skirt Steak and fixins at Sammy's Bacon wrapped chili dog at Crif Dogs Deep Fries Oreos at RUB Any other heart attack specials out there?

Wed Aug 20 07:46:42 -0700 2008 3971751 19599 susan1353 1 3971802 My god, there is such a world of possibilities. But, as someone who has gone literally years (in the past, not recently however, I lost my self control) without eating any sweets, fried foods, etc., the most gluttonous meal I could ever think of eating would be deep fried pizza at the atlantic chipshop in brooklyn. But, your suggestions are also good. Depends on what you are looking for. If you wantt to make him suffer a meal that will probably kill him, go to times square and follow the tourists to applebee's and get anyone of their entrees. Wed Aug 20 08:01:14 -0700 2008 3971751 133413 offthebeatenpath1 2 3971850 DEEP FRIED PIZZA! Was it good? I cant picture it!!!!!!! Wed Aug 20 08:18:11 -0700 2008 3971802 123164 kcijones001 3 3971976 I am honestly not a huge fan of fried foods in general, but after one slice I was ready for a good artery cleaning. The pizza just wasn't that good, which I think was the problem. They basically just take cold pizza, smother it in batter and fry it. Not my cup of tea, but many people love it. Apparently it's big in Scotland. Wed Aug 20 08:55:44 -0700 2008 3971850 133413 offthebeatenpath1 4 3973999 are they still allowed to do that? lots of their deep fried stuff has been "banned" as they say. remember "the heart attack" at 2nd Ave deli? it was a sandwich with latkes for bread (right?) pastrami alone won't do it. Wed Aug 20 20:27:40 -0700 2008 3971976 34796 sarapeater 1 3971812 Fried Pork Jowl Nuggets at Back Forty Lardo pizza at Otto (dont think you can get much more unhealty than cured fat). If you pick the right day of the week, you can supplement it with lardo bruschetta Wed Aug 20 08:04:01 -0700 2008 3971751 12821 ESNY 1 3971819 The cheeseburger/mushroom combo at Shake Shack that has one of those deep fried cheese-stuffed portobello caps on it. Man, I love that thing... Wed Aug 20 08:06:54 -0700 2008 3971751 12713 TongoRad 2 3997169 Yes... my beloved Shack Stack. ::drool:: Fri Aug 29 13:10:56 -0700 2008 3971819 129972 Shyaporn 1 3971864 The corned beef and pastrami sandwich at Sarge's. Or even better for your friend would be the corned beef and pastrami omelet (since you're substituting three eggs for the two slices of bread.) Man they are awesome, I've limited myself to one a year. Does anyplace in NYC sell one of those Elvis "fools gold" sammies? I'm pretty sure they were designated as the single worst (most unhealthy) food you could possibly eat and responsible for most of his later weight gain - one pound bacon, peanut butter, mayo... I can't remember the rest. If you can find a place that does that in the area that's your best bet.

The Elvis a grilled peanut butter sandwich, stuffed with bananas and honey. try it with bacon for that extra indulgence. Peanut Butter BLT we use fresh cut bacon and toasted bread to give this sandwich great flavor and texture. Wed Aug 20 08:31:46 -0700 2008 3971864 123164 kcijones001 3 3971945 This is bad, bad news for me. Thanks for the info.

Wed Aug 20 20:24:23 -0700 2008 3971892 23719 JMJD 2 3973561 3 eggs are much healthier than 2 slices of white bread, all else equal.

Sides - Fries and cornbread Dessert - Deep fried oreos oof! Wed Aug 20 11:02:23 -0700 2008 3971751 123423 bosun 2 3972799 Why not substitute onion strings for the cornbread? That should put it over the top, since the onion strings provide maximum surface area for grease (and man are they good). On the other hand, the bloomin' onion at Outback is supposed to be the highest fat dish in any chain restaurant, and chain restaurants just feel more unhealthy anyway. I Wed Aug 20 13:01:59 -0700 2008 3972397 12880 LloydG 3 3974002 Outback's Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing is worse IIRC. It was named the "worst food in America" - just google that phrase. It has 2,900 calories, 182 g fat, and 240 g carbs. Then add a creamy soup, a steak, a sundae, and a milkshake, and that's probably the unhealthiest possible New York meal. Wed Aug 20 20:28:24 -0700 2008 3972799 202986 ShinjukuAce 4 3974543 That's something. I don't know what the stats are on this dish, but there's something called "Trainwreck Fries" at Virgil's -- fries, melted cheddar, montrey cheese, smoked bacon, scallions, pickled jalepenos and ranch dressing. We shared this with 4 people and couldn't even finish it. Thu Aug 21 06:02:41 -0700 2008 3974002 10763 Miss Needle 5 3975615 Haha I ate about half an order of that once, along with 2 ribs and 2 chicken wings. Thu Aug 21 11:23:14 -0700 2008 3974543 19911 SomeRandomIdiot 5 3997120 you can get chili or pulled pork on top the trainwreck fries. Nguuuh.... Fri Aug 29 12:54:26 -0700 2008 3974543 178083 ConOrama 5 3997210 reminds me of the 'mexican fries' they have at Hooters; curly fries with all that sorta stuff dumped on (sour cream, jalapenos, tomatoes, chili, etc.). deadly. Fri Aug 29 13:25:49 -0700 2008 3974543 12656 bigjeff 1 3972446 Hill Country - Brisket Moist, Ribs, Sausage, sides like mac&cheese, cornbread, and beans with burnt ends, and a peanut butter and jelly cupcake. Oh, and even better is how they serve the meat on butcher paper so you can watch the paper turn almost transparent as it soaks up the grease.

Ask for a roast beef sandwich with russian dressing, swiss cheese, cole slaw. May not sound like much - but just you wait - get it on a hero. The prepared foods are just... well... cholesterol heaven !!!! (and they deliver) Wed Aug 20 13:05:23 -0700 2008 3971751 29969 AlwaysUpperWest 2 3973071 I haven't had one of those sandwiches in a while - they are good! I think they're called sloppy joes in some NJ deli's, and are usually on rye.

What with the shmaltz on the bread, and the kiskas etc....you can NOT top that! You must take them there. Signed, A health food type, who actually LOVES Sammy's! Wed Aug 20 14:36:53 -0700 2008 3971751 97633 BW212 1 3973155 My vote would be for the poutine at Pomme Frites. If you really want your friend to have a heart attack, go to Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal where they've got a poutine with foie gras! Wed Aug 20 14:49:30 -0700 2008 3971751 10763 Miss Needle 2 3998617 Phew, we went to Au Pied de Cochon one time. Crepe with foie gras, sausage/bacon, LARD and maple syrup (this was a dinner entree) - nuff said. The fattiest meal I've had recently - porterhouse at Peter Luger's with that luscious creamed spinach. The 'luscious' comes from all the butter/cream/steakfat or whatever it is they put in that spinach. And of course they ladle that beef fat and juices mixture over every piece. One other insanely unhealthy thing I had - the Baron's Feast at RUB. I think this was meant for a party, cos the two of us had leftovers for days. Sat Aug 30 10:27:21 -0700 2008 3973155 18288 janethepain 1 3973300 BBQ chains. Just sitting in there already feels unhealthy. Wed Aug 20 15:28:26 -0700 2008 3971751 98136 DarthEater 1 3973496 This may not quite be what you had in mind, but I think that the foie gras terrine at La Goulue, followed by steak tartare with frites (mayonnaise on the side), with profiteroles for dessert would do the trick in my book. A glass of Sauterne to start, bottle of red wine with the tartare, an eau de vie or something else w/ or after dessert, and you are set! Hmm - I think that was my birthday lunch this year!

Wed Aug 20 16:41:22 -0700 2008 3971751 54254 kobetobiko 1 3973540 At Sammy's you need the chopped liver with fried chicken skins (greiben), fried onions and lots of schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) from the syrup pitchers on the table. Follow with several chocolate egg creams that you make at the table too. http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/sammys-roumanian-steak-house/menus/dinner.html Wed Aug 20 16:55:44 -0700 2008 3971751 28638 phantomdoc 1 3974146 when you say NYC, and if you include queens, just get a trio or even a quartet of tripe tacos from coatzingo. delicious, and I don't even want to try and calculate any fat/calorie content on it but just think: fried, delicious organ meat. served on two corn tortillas. with the works. or get a full-on pork meal at ihawan with crispy pata, dinuguan, chicharon bulaklak, lechon kawali AND lechon. that's pork fat 5 ways folks. Wed Aug 20 21:32:50 -0700 2008 3971751 12656 bigjeff 1 3974327 Check the Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger at Google cafeteria... think there are some other places to get it, not sure though..... but could also make your own then re-deep fry it! http://www.aldenteblog.com/2008/07/almost-inedible.html Thu Aug 21 02:05:16 -0700 2008 3971751 13555 feedmegood 1 3974737 Make your friend eat 3 dirty water dogs with the works.

Their salt/pepper onion rings are about 200 cals each. Also, you could then take him to the east village for sarita's mac and cheese. get the large cheeseburger variety. Score.

My SO won't even eat there and his favorite thing is the cadillac buger with bernaise sauce at PJ Clark's!! Sat Aug 30 11:26:27 -0700 2008 3971751 11223 roze 2 3998921 I agree. The pure chicken fat is tough to beat, especially in the quantity which you could theoretically eat there.

Sat Aug 30 19:08:19 -0700 2008 3971751 222777 cassoodle 2 4000285 I love BLT Burger, but trust me, even if you added a peanut butter/chocolate milk shake and fries to that egg bacon burger, I can assure you it would be healthier than a typical meal at Sammys! (There is a syrup jar on the table there filled with chicken fat that you POUR all over your bread).
