Harley Morenstein, Alex Perrault, and Sterling Toth have a fantastic YouTube video channel called “Epic Meal Time”, in which they create recipes containing – for all intents and purposes – an orgiastic display of meats and cheeses and grease and alcohol and fat and carbs and calories. And it’s an unabashed ode to gastronomic excess. I tell you, looking at these YouTube videos is enough to make you gain about 50 pounds. You know how watching a Nigella Lawson cooking show makes you start thinking about other things besides cooking? Well, the guys at Epic Meal Time also make you think about other things besides cooking… Like making sure your health insurance coverage is up to date.
These guys have created a pizza made out of fast food staples like Big Macs, a Wendy’s Baconator, Teen Burgers (those are from the Canadian fast food joint A&W) and a Taco Bell Crunch Wrap Supreme.
Yes they did.
You’ve heard of the TurDucHen – the hen inside a duck inside a turkey? Wait until you see this Thanksgiving dish – the TurBaconEpic – a quail stuffed in a Cornish hen – which is stuffed into a chicken – which is stuffed into a duck – which is stuffed into a turkey – which in turn is stuffed into a pig.
And for all you Star Wars fans, nothing says “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” than seeing the Deathstar Meatball.
But, see, this is the holiday season. And the guys at Epic Meal Time have created the perfect holiday dish for all you carnivorous gastronomes. It’s a gingerbread house for the holidays – minus the gingerbread – plus bacon – and more bacon – and more bacon – and more bacon – and more and more and more bacon. Yes, if you watch this YouTube clip, you can make “The Slaughterhouse,” a holiday taste treat guaranteed to clog every artery, vein and capillary in your body!
And yes, nothing washes a meal like this down except a mixture of bacon grease, Jack Daniel’s and egg nog! I tells you, this will be the greatest concoction since someone made a milkshake out of ice cream and Four Loko!
And according to their website, this little creation only contains slightly under 87,000 calories. Like, actually, three calories short of 87,000.
So here it is. A holiday treat for all you foodies out there. Dig in. And if you get a chance, feel free to wish your cardiologist a happy holiday.
