where to spend the calories: Cosmos or Pied du Cochon?

Out of curiosity,

If you were actually a calorie conscious person, would you rather splurge over breakfast at cosmos or dinner at APDC. I realize they differ in all ways but one - calories. So just for fun, which would it be?

    1. PIED DE COCHON

        1. pied de cochon, hands down no questions asked!

            1. Actually, they differ in another way - do they have foie gras at Cosmos? I think not. If I'm packing on the calories, it's Pied de Cochon. No question.

                1. I would spend my day's worth amount of calories JUST on the pouding chomeur from APdC :)

                    1. DEFINETELY Pied de Cochon !!

                          I think the poster has their answer!

                          • The PdC landslide ought to come as no surprise, but it must be said that a Cosmo's mish-mash is a fine way to down ~2,000 calories at a sitting -- once in a while. Yes, it's got mystery meat and Kraft singles. But it's still damn good.

                            Not to mention that the counter at Cosmo's is always a blast, whether you join in the banter or just listen.

                            I spent about $15 on breakfast at Beauty's the other day. If was good, but nowhere near as good as Cosmo's despite costing around 50% more.

                              1. Hee :D This thread is essentially comparing the merits of processed cheese in a closet to foie gras in a dining room.

                                    Err.. for the record, APDC, hands down.

                                    • Pied de cochon.
