Oh Dude Foods, is there any form of junk food you can't make more delicious or fatty? This time the site has taken on S'mores Pop Tarts and used them to make actual S'mores the result looks utterly irresistible and decadent.
Chef David Burke has opened Burke's Bacon Bar, a carry-out restaurant in Chicago that puts pork into its dishes---with an emphasis on bacon. Denise I. O'Neal of the Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Varieties include five-spice duck (smoked Peking duck, Chinese bacon (pork belly), hoisin sauce, cucumber cilantro and scallions in a steamed bun; 50 cents extra); banh mi (chicken liver-bacon salad, bacon, pickled vegetables, herbs and lime on a baguette ) and the Big Kahuna Spamwich (barbecued spam, pineapple slaw, bacon crumbs, homemade pickles on a King’s Hawaiian roll). Soups, salads and sides are also available. Desserts include bacon chocolate chip cookies— “delish”— and bacon peanut brittle.
“Bacon could be the one legal drug, because once you taste it you’re hooked,” Gresh said.
Trending next at the bacon bar? Body products including lip balms and soaps, and there’s even talk of a bacon cake down the road.

Earlier this month, Keizo Shimamoto released a ramen burger that quickly became the cronut of the burger world. If ramen isn't really your thing though, perhaps you'd prefer PYT's spaghetti burger that features a mozerella-stuffed meatball patty, pasta sauce and spaghetti cooked into garlic-y bun tastiness.
Oh, you think that a sponge isn't edible? You're wrong--and he doesn't taste like a Krabby Patty at all. I Draw On My Lunch made this and many other cute meals.
Tired of eating buffalo wings with no meat? Then skip the wing entirely and enjoy all the tasty saucy goodness with these buffalo beer cheese fries. Just sprinkle on some tasty blue cheese and you're ready to snack like a true football fan.
Yesterday, a woman dislocated her jaw while eating a mere tripple patty burger. Just imagine if she instead tried to eat this monstrosity that looks like a sandwich from Scooby Doo instead.
This YouTube user BeauCh ordered this amazing disaster-waiting-to-happen from Jack In The Box. The modified Jumbo Jack features 19 extra patties (making a total of 20), ample bacon, every cheese available on the menu, fried eggs, onion rings, ham, turkey, sour dough buns and chicken patties. The total price for the sandwich came out to a whopping $38.23.

Belgians claim to have invented and perfected what we Americans call French fries. Belgians, though, call them frites and cook them in beef fat. They're also now available on demand in Belgium, thanks to a newly-invented vending machine:
Customers pay €2.50 (£2.13) for a 90-second fry-up of a 135g portion of chips accompanied by fork, salt and ketchup or mayonnaise, with or without harissa, but definitely without the customary moules. Three filters are meant to cut out the smell of the frying.
With a few modifications, perhaps we could have a poutine vending machine.
Do you like to stumble around smashing buildings when you're drunk? Maybe fight Mothra for a while? Then drink like your spirit monster with the Godzilla shochu that's sure to leave you feeling like a 200 foot tall lizard monster.
Who knew German chocolate cake wasn't German? It was named after an American named German! The Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich is named after the owner of the Brown Hotel, not the color of the dish. Which is brown. Those are just two of the stories about foods you are familiar with named after people you aren't familiar with, in the latest mental_floss video. -via mental_floss
Don't get your hopes up, though. Artist Brad Troemel, whose work we've featured previously, sells the key to the lock separately. So buy that, too, or all you can do is just look at and smell this delicious taco.

Chris-Rachael Oseland made a batch of Fougassee bread in the style that is designed to be pulled apart into individual servings. But these are extra special, because instead of a traditional leaf pattern, they are made in the likeness of Transformer faces! You'll find the recipe, plus illustrated instructions for cutting the Transformers, at Kitchen Overlord. Link -via Boing Boing

We've been lied to all of our lives.
Dan Anderson, a high school math teacher in New York, conducted a scientific study and found that Double Stuf Oreos actually contain only 1.86 times the creme of a regular Oreo.
I don't know what to believe in anymore.
Hold me.

When starvation, rather than obesity, is your problem, then McDonald's has the solution. Economist Stephen Dubner, one of the authors of Freakanomics, argues that the McDonald's McDouble (pictured above) is the most nutritious food ever devised:
Stephen Dubner, who co-authored the best-selling book, hosted a debate on his blog after a reader suggested the McDouble packed a better nutritional punch for the penny than is often assumed.
The double cheeseburger provides 390 calories, 23 grams of protein – half a daily serving – seven per cent of daily fibre, 19 grams of fat and 20 per cent of daily calcium, all for between $1 and $2, or 65p and £1.30,The Times reported. [...]
Mr Dubner added: “The more I thought about the question, whether the McDouble is the cheapest, most bountiful, and nutritious food ever, the more I realised how you answer that question says a lot about how you see the world, not only our food system and the economics of it, but even social justice.”

We love macaroni and cheese, but I think John might be the only writer on our team willing to try a macaroni and cheese martini. Fortunately, he doesn't have to because BoingBoing's Stephanie Thorpe reviewed one she happened to enjoy at Comic Con.
Personally, I still think it sounds better than the McNuggetini.
