Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 72: I Couldn't Finish 2 Hot Dogs; Does That Make Me a Wuss?
I didn't make it past "tube steak eating research".
I Caved In and Ate Grocery Store Fried Chicken - Yuck!
There is nothing better than Publix fried chicken at the beach with a cooler full of beer.
MIA: Do You Cook Differently When Others Are Out of Town?
For some reason my girlfriend absolutely hates sloppy joes. I know that they aren't anything to get excited about but when she is out of town the kids go crazy because they know they will get to have sloppy joes and tater tots! Talk about easy to please.

Olive sandwich!! Wonder bread, mayo, green olives, tomatoes, and Lays potato chips.

Still sounds tasty.

Know of any pets with food names?
We have a chihuahua named Judy but since she is rather portly and will eat absolutely anything (including carrots and broccoli), we call her Foodie.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
My dad never cooks. Except for bacon and home fries. Ever since I was tiny he has always made that for me every Saturday morning. The first Saturday morning after I got out of BasicTraining and could come home, he woke me up and we ate together out on the porch. It was the best bacon I had ever had.
Christmas-Ornament-Shaped Coke Bottles
My sons like to put these in their shirts and pretend to have "Christmas Boobies." Sigh.
Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts
This is the only way to get the kiddos to eat them at my house. However, if they are gone or I am in the mood for grown up brussel sprouts I toss them in butter, garlic, and balsamic and roast them. Mmm.
what is your favorite canned/boxed soup?
Maybe the whole Cream of Asparagus issue is a geographic one. Down here in Georgia I can get it all the time. (I suspect that I am the only one buying it).
what is your favorite canned/boxed soup?
I love, love, love Campbells Cream of Asparagus. It smells dreadful but tastes great if you add a lot of cayenne pepper. Plus - the kids won't touch it so it is always there when I want it!
Eating in Savannah?
Try the Caraway Cafe. It's an awesome place, my friend Robyn runs it.

Anthony Bourdain, I AM NOT SOUTHERN
I am southern, raised in Alabama, living in the armpit of Georgia (Columbus). I can say for sure that not all of Paula Deen's accent is fake but she does embellish it quite a bit. Also - she makes all the waiters, waitresses and staff at her restaurant really pour the sugar on their accent. Here is a great Paula Deen story. Years ago when the boys were very small and she was still with their dad she lived in Albany next door to my accountant. Because she could not get the boy's dad to help at all with putting together their Christmas presents, she asked my accountant to help her because she knew he was Jewish and he was not in the middle of celebrating anything. When he finished, she blurts out, "Okay - show it to me." He is totally puzzled. Whe he asks her what the hell she is talking about, she says that she was always told that Jewish folks had horns and tails and she wanted to see them.
Sadly, not the first time that I have heard a person from the deep south ask that question.
About Tony. I love him. He is snarky about everything and everyone. It's equal opportunity hating.
Dinner Tonight: Marinated Tomatoes with Linguine
Yummy - I make this with lightly sauteed eggplant and a little lemon juice. It's awesome in the summertime.
What to dip my french fries in...
Okay - this is similar to the ketchup/bbq/mayo mix but I love Arby's sauce mixed with mayo on my fries! Yet I hate ketchup with the heat of a thousand suns!

My mom made this legendary sandwich only once in my life, and I still think about it from time to time. I've just never assembled the ingredients to make it myself (don't know why..the list is rather scant): white bread, Kewpie mayonnaise, and a generous sprinkling of rousong (an Asian pork condiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousong).
Crazy Combinations
But I'd also love to wrap myself around anything on this page: http://bit.ly/aurwd

Harriet M. Welsh was right: you can't beat a tomato sandwich.
Crazy Combinations
I'm one of those people who enjoys ranch on almost anything!!!!!! it's just one of those condiments that gets along with amost everyone (savoury I may add)
I'm not as crazy as some of you guys; so here's mine:
- cucumber + camembert sandwiches,
- sauerkraut perogies baked with chili and topped with cheddar
- plain mcchicken with their 'nugget mustard sauce'
- pizza sauce, green onion and canned shrimp baked with cheese on a honey-bun
@zerogirl: wow. thats.....interesting! do you make your own redcurrant jelly?
@FeedingFive: that burger sounds right up my hangover alley! I'll have to try that one iwth heavy heavy mayo
@carolow: PB + mayo sounds strange; but when I was young I would eat PB + cheesewhiz (when the rents werent' looking!) haha
Crazy Combinations
All I can say is--- why?
Even the biggest bender or herb withdrawl could not induce me to eat some of these combos.
Crazy Combinations
@tinat-- I used to love Cheetos and miracle whip when I was a kid, so Brie and Cheetos sounds right up my alley!
Crazy Combinations
We used to go to der Weinerschnitzel after a night out. My favorite meal to ward off a hangover was a hamburger (no cheese) with saurkraut on it and an order of chili-cheese fries with diced onion and jalepenos. It's a wonder I was so slender during college.
Crazy Combinations
My dad loves peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. Sounds really gross, but not too bad. I just don't prefer them.
As for grilled cheese sandwiches, I like to dip mine in ketchup. Yum!
Crazy Combinations
It's not a sandwich, but just discovered this weekend, brie and Cheetos!
Crazy Combinations
Fried egg sandwich slathered with yellow mustard - this from a guy who is SO picky you cannot use a herb or any kind of spice on any of his food, and canned vegetables only with his meat and potatoes - go figure!
Crazy Combinations
White bread with bananas, crispy bacon, blue cheese and dollops of cream cheese, topped with a mild melting cheese, grilled, sandwiched, and served with redcurrant jelly.
Crazy Combinations
I think most college campuses have a sandwich shop that specializes in these kind of things. The one time I had one, there were boneless wings, french fries, and some other stuff I can't remember. I was not impressed, and I am the queen of combining strange foods. I made a beef jerky and chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich once.
I used to work at a bagel place, and one of the dishwashers would always eat a bacon egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel with mayo and grape jelly. Yuck.
Crazy Combinations
Dark chocolate bar with pepperoni, salami, and ham, topped off with fresh mozzarella- all on Italian roll
Crazy Combinations
@ pjracz - nothing better than a leftover sandwich!! its my favorite part of thanksgiving lol
also my mom eats PB & J with pringles .... as in on the sandwich not on the side. she loves the crunch effect lol
Crazy Combinations
We used to get something called a Heart Attack calzone - which was mozzarella sticks and bacon! It was great, but the place that made them closed, sadly. I tried making them on my own and they were good but not quite the same.
Crazy Combinations
Grape jelly with turkey and gravy. When I was a kid my mother's whole cranberry sauce was too tart for me, so I tried grape jelly, which was great. I now use an assortment of jellies and jams with foods they don't typically go with. The grape jelly mixed with gravy and potato turned the whole mess into an extremely unappetizing gray, which totally grossed out my family and ensured that I'd keep doing it.
Crazy Combinations
Peanut butter and olives. The green mammoth kind or w/e. On flax bread. This store we buy bread from sometimes make this flax bread that tastes HORRIBLE on its own...i can't even describe what the off taste is about...but strangely it tastes delicious when paired with other things.
Crazy Combinations
Peanut Butter and cheddar cheese on a King's Hawaiian roll
Peanut Butter and Bacos or potato chips on 9-grain toast
cream cheese, jalapenos and roast beef (I recently read cream cheese and jalapenos is a favorite burger topping at a Colorado restaurant)
Crazy Combinations
Pickle and mustard sandwich on toast - best with sweet sliced pickles and yellow mustard. Dills are also good.
Crazy Combinations
@DELICIOUS that actually sounds really good, wonder how bacon would work with it?
I like to make a heaping mess with leftover holiday foods. Start with the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, corn, all the other veg's I like and massive gravy, put into pan, heat stirring everything up. Meanwhile split the rolls slather with mayo, cheddar and heat just to melt cheese, put on plate and pile that slop all over the rolls and top with cranberry sauce. Serve with leftover yams on the side. Another is a cold cheese sandwich with sweet cuc pickles and reg flavored potato chips inside.
Crazy Combinations
toast, peanut butter, jack cheese and sambal or siracha

Some days are hungrier than others (or you have a big breakfast or a long run or anything else that can affect appetite). That's why all this babble about how much people should eat is silly - listening to the stomach signals ends up feeling far better and is healthier in the long run.

Couldn't finish 2 hot dogs? I've heard of that.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 72: I Couldn't Finish 2 Hot Dogs; Does That Make Me a Wuss?
Hmmm...now that I keep thinking about it...maybe just because you can doesn't mean you should. Guess you are in a farther place than I am regarding how much one should eat. :-) Keep up the great work!
