World Record Bacon Sandwich

Posted by Miss Cellania in Food & Drinks, World Records on August 10, 2009 at 10:08 pm


A bacon sandwich is good anytime, but August s the best time for BLTs, when local tomatoes are at their peak. At the fifth annual Tomato Fest in St. Louis, Tom Coghill and 90 volunteers put together a BLT that stretched 179 feet, two inches, breaking the world record for the biggest bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. They used 500 pounds of bacon, 1,280 pounds of tomatoes, and 100 heads of lettuce. Link -via Digg

From the food blog Insanewiches:

The Rubix Cube has confounded us for years. Maybe the sandwich version of this puzzling brain teaser will do the same. The Rubix Cubewich contains cubes of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar.

db Burger Double Truffle Photo: db Bistro Moderne

Some chefs have probably never heard the phrase "too much of a good thing" as they create some of the world’s most stuffed food. WomansDay takes a look at 9 stuffed-to-the-brim food creations, like this db Burger Double Truffle from db Bistro Moderne above:

This specialty sandwich, available at db Bistro Moderne in Manhattan, sells for a whopping $150—but it’s certainly something to marvel at. Stuffed inside the burger are braised short ribs along with a flavorful helping of foie gras, which is topped with 20 grams of shaved black truffles and served inside a crispy Parmesan bun.

Bon appétit! Link

Grilled Cheesecake Sandwich

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks on May 20, 2009 at 1:17 am

What would make a good dessert after a meal of grilled cheese sandwich? Why, a grilled cheesecake sandwich, of course!

Jessie Oleson of Cakespy explains:

Grilled cheese is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. After all, it is sliced bread–with the added awesomeness of cheese and butter. Can it really get any better?

After being hit with what can only be described as a stroke of pure genius, I can definitively say yes. It can get better.

Say hello to the grilled cheesecake sandwich.

"Is this serious?" you may be asking yourself.

Oh yes. Made out of slivered cheesecake layered between slices of buttered pound cake, this sandwich is serious all right–as serious as a heart attack.

10 Greatest Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Posted by Queuebot in Food & Drinks on April 24, 2009 at 2:37 pm

A grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup always provided yummy comfort on cold days, but gastronomes haven’t stopped there. Check out ten mouthwatering extentions of our childhood favorite during April, which is National Grilled Cheese month. I’m kinda fiending for the first one, the $15 Grilled Cheese.

This stacked creation was born out of Ontario-based chef Randy Feltis’s adoration for exotic cheeses and thick-cut bread. Melted in between the garlic-, parsley- and butter-seasoned loaf lies a brilliant blend of brie, aged Cheddar, Italian Asiago and Havarti cheeses.

Sandwich Caused Woman to Faint

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks, Medicine on January 4, 2009 at 11:48 am

This one is strange: a woman in Birmingham, England, is hospitalized because she faints whenever she eats a sandwich!

The woman, 25, was seen in hospital complaining of short 10-second episodes of feeling "light-headed, occasionally nauseous, and suddenly and alarmingly unwell".

On more than one occasion she had collapsed. The problem had started when she was aged 15, sometimes recurring several times a week. [...] The episodes tended to occur when the woman consumed certain types of food, particularly sandwiches and fizzy drinks.

Turns out, her condition is called "swallow syncope," a rare medical condition where swallowing triggers the nerve reflexes that cause the heart to stop temporarily: Link – via Look At This
