USA! USA! USA!
Some months back, I reported on a Scottish delicacy known as the Stonner, a 1000-calorie deep fried pork kabob so dangerous to the health of the eater that customers may not purchase more than one per week. Awestruck though I was by the culinary ingenuity on display, I confess that I felt galled to know that another nation had apparently bested my own in the field of unhealthy eating.
Well, I am proud to announce that America has retaken the lead. Even better, my native land's culinary triumph comes courtesy of baseball, our national sport.
The Gateway Grizzles-- 2003 champions of the Frontier League-- have introduced a product they are describing as America's Best Burger. Here is the description, from the press release:
The burger, which was debuted at the Grizzlies' December 10th sale, consists of a thick and juicy burger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon. The burger is then placed in between each side of a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut.
They sliced the donut in half, instead of just using two donuts? Well, that's really just the healthy version, isn't it?
Corporate America may only be matching or ekeing out small improvements in overconsumption development by the rest of the world. The indivudal American innovator, however, unfettered by boardroom pressure and the rising tide of international protectionism, still has no compare:
