Imagine a place at a fair or show where all the meals are giant.... Imagine no more, apparently it exists! At the Rose Festival carnival on the Willamette waterfront. Giant Indian Taco's sound interesting! Anyone ever been to this place?

One fateful day our dear coworker that we'll call "McRib Masta" decided to take the McRib Challenge. While I myself was not around during ... all » the inception of this challenge I was made aware that he planned to attempt to consume 10 McDonalds McRib sandwiches in under an hour. This is what happened...

This is apparently a bit of a trend now in Korea. Hot Dogs wrapped in everything, then deep fried! You might remember we talked about French Fry Encrusted Corn Dogs in Korea a while ago, well now they do Hot Dogs wrapped in Bacon, Seaweed, Mashed Potato, Corn Batter, whatever will fit around the Hot Dog!

And you thought America was bad when it comes to unhealthy junk food. Well in South Korea they have the french fry covered hot dog! It’s a hot dog covered with chunks of French fries then coated with batter and deep fried. French fries aren’t the only thing that coat hot dogs in Korea. Kiosk vendors wrap them in bacon, mashed potato, corn batter or what looked to be seaweed then invariably deep fry them. And God only knows what kind of oils they’re deep fried in.

I LOVE Pumpkin Pie, so much that I truly believe I could put a fairly hefty dent in this one. Although it is 6 foot wide, and weighs 678 pounds, so it might take me a little while... but it'd be fun trying!

Eight bakers in Holland, Michigan have created a six-foot-wide, 678-pound pumpkin pie. They used 50 pounds of flour, 90 pounds of brown sugar, 660 eggs and 200 pounds of pumpkin pie filling. Also on the list of ingredients were 26 pounds of shortening, 660 cups of evaporated milk and 41 cups of maple syrup.

Mike recently contacted us wanting the GPS co-ordinates for Cafe Und Restaurant Waldgeist. (Click on the "Googlemaps Location" above for the map!) He was in the area, and wanted to check out all the Supersized Meals they have to offer. We obliged, and he was kind enough to send us the pics! Thanks Mike! Props to your buddy if he managed to finish the beer and the Schnitzel. Did he get through it?

From: Mike via Email

My wife went to Waldgeist yesterday, 10/20/07. Below are some updated pictures. She said that the address and/or coordiantes are correct. She also said that this place was in the middle of nowhere. I hope to get there before my tour is up. Take care, Mike

Glasgow has prided itself on its Supersized cuisine. With creations like the 1000 calorie Stonner Kebab and 60 beer drinking binges, it's no surprise that they've now deep fried an entire pizza. Not a measly single slice, oh no, the entire thing, deep fried. It's funny how all the cheese and ingredients end up floating to the middle!

Looks like Bacon Candy has gone commercial! Coming from humble beginnings, it seems the flavor has caught on enough for it to be packaged and marketed by Vosges Chocolate. $7 a block. Anyone tried this?
