Commentary: March 2006 Archives

Although it can't quite compete with America's Best Burger in actual culinary excess, Buffalo, New York's Charcoal Broiled Helicopter Bologna Sandwich certainly has it beat in the naming department.

I find the article a bit confusing, though. Is the bologna fried or merely broiled? Can any gourmands from the great city of Buffalo enlighten us?

I am a freelance contributor to the Onion, meaning that I occasionally submit headlines to them. If they like 'em, they hang on to 'em, and some of them become Onion articles.

However, every time I submit, there are always a few I especially like that don't make the cut. In order that they may have some sort of life, I'm occasionally going to post my favorite rejected Onion headlines.
