This Is Why You're Fat

[underdog]

As discussed in another thread, everyone has camera phones now and people love taking pictures of your food. Post those here. And discuss what you're shoving in your fat face.

It's also entirely possible this thread already exists, but between Country Bob, Snacks and me, we don't feel like looking.

[underdog]

To start, this is the best pizza I have ever eaten. Fresh mozzarella, spicy italian sausage and caramelized onions from a place called PICCO in Boston.

you should be pissing off yourself. If you want to put steaks in the freezer for later, BUY THEM FROZEN.

Its the quality of your own food that you are fuckin up. So its your problem

[Tenbatsuzen]

That steak isn't frozen, it's seasoned.

[Snoogans]

That steak isn't frozen, it's seasoned.

when you said it was to piss me off i figured thats what you meant. I dont give a shit if you wanna cover the fuckin thing in ketchup, you gotta eat it, not me

[Gutter]

Fries were being shared with the baby so I didn't want to freak her out.

ah, fair enough.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Snoogs, what WILL piss you off is that I got five steaks like that for 20 bucks.

[Snoogans]

Snoogs, what WILL piss you off is that I got five steaks like that for 20 bucks.

i was thinkin it was some shit like Stacker 2 that just burns it all

[StanUpshaw]

Is Keto like the Paleo diet?

The goal of keto is to get your body in ketosis by eliminating nearly all carbs.

So I think paleo is mostly compatible with keto. You'd just have to keep fruits to a minimum.

I haven't bothered reading too much about it. All I'm really doing is just not eating carbs. It's simple as fuck and I'm able stick to it (for the most part). I started right before Thanksgiving, thus I've had several days where I've eaten a bunch of pie and cookies and shit, but nevertheless, I've dropped a couple of belt notches in that time.

I'm pretty sure that's where the pic I posted was from. And I've also always heard about the other NYC place... Carnegie Deli? I think?

Some of the food network shows make it seem like ALL NY/NJ places serve their pastrami like that.

Obviously from UD's pic he posted... they don't.

I like pastrami and all, but some of those just look ridiculous.

Like a plate of pastrami with a little side of bread. I really think I'd tire of eating that much pastrami way before I put a dent in that stack of meat.

This thread and the sammich thread made me hit the grocery store deli last night. I didn't bother with a picture because it's just too goddammed depressing.

Why can't one of you NY/NJ fuckers decide to retire down HERE, and open a decent fucking deli already?

Florida should be getting pretty fucking full by now, right? Why can't a few of you bastages check out the Alabama gulf coast, huh?

Those ARE just ridiculous. If you can't eat it as a sandwich, what's the point. It's all about balance. Over-stuffed is great, but at a point way before that one it just becomes absurd.

And keto sounds just like that silly Atkins nonsense. You need to lower your calories, period. If you eat 3000 calories of pure protein daily, you still will get fat.

There's some decent ones in Florida that cater to the retirees living in that area.

It's 2012 for fuckssake. We ship bottled water all over the country. You're telling me that you can't ship some local water down here and make us some decent bread?

I'm tired of hearing the excuses! Get on this shit, like now! I'm fucking starving!

And the link explains that corned beef & cabbage is a traditional Irish dish.

Perhaps the most common form, while it is a traditional Irish dish, it is by no means considered a national dish in Ireland. Corned beef and cabbage has been an integral part of Irish-American culture since the mass emigration in the mid 19th century. What was an extravagance in their native land became much more accessible and to this day is the dish of choice on Saint Patrick's Day.

Wendy's Baja Salad - not bad for fast food but not like I am eating only a salad.....

Like I've got time to read a link. I still don't buy that. I've seen on too many shows (cooking, history and even movies) that it simply doesn't exist in Ireland.

[Dude!]

If you eat 3000 calories of pure protein daily, you still will get fat.

That is NOT true

if you are substantially overweight
and you eat 3000 calories' worth
of ONLY protein and fat
the pounds will melt away rapidly

the problem is, besides being unhealthy,
once you go off an atkins-type diet
the pounds come back on as rapidly
as they went off

The proof is in the pudding :tongue:

it isnt about that. Its really fuckin weird. All the Bagel shops in Florida that are good actually import water from here to use to make shit. there is something in the water here that makes it that good. Bread too.

If you are down around like georgia, even if you open a place, you will never find any good bread.

I dont know what the fuck it is, but you cant get it that good away from here. even people from here who try to leave and open shit, its just never like up here.

Important side question. Is there any good Portugese places that do take out in bergen county? Specifically northern bergen county. Someone told me one was opening in like Ramsey but i aint heard shit about it.

I dont wanna have to drive all the way down to Burnett just to get some fuckin good shit.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Same goes for Pizza. Outside the tri state area you cant get a good slice.

[PigShitIrish]

And the link explains that corned beef & cabbage is a traditional Irish dish.

While it might be true that corned beef & cabbage is a very Irish-American thing, it doesn't originate in Ireland. The traditional meal is ham & cabbage. The corned beef was just a more affordable meat for the early immigrants so it just became somewhat of a standard.

[Snoogans]

Same goes for Pizza. Outside the tri state area you cant get a good slice.

thats because pizza dough and bagels are almost the exact same thing.


anyone who likes a good plain bagel, go to a pizza place one day and ask if they will just bake you one of the doughs into bread with nothing else on it. It will take about 10 minutes and its fuckin FANTASTIC.

Alot of people call it Foccacia (sp) bread but thats actually slightly different than just pizza dough. But trust me, its fuckin awesome.


That is if you are at a pizza place in the tri state

in america maybe. but for ireland, you have that backwards. in ireland they use ham and cabbage cause ham was cheaper back in the day than corned beef was over there. Thats why in the link, it says corned beef was more an extravagance, and thats why most people dont eat it there. But originally, meaning wayyyy back in the day, it was eaten in ireland by the families who could afford it

i was just thinking of this the other day when we were discussing sloppy joes and you never heard of them. i remember how excited you were about the portugese food and used to come down and have a couple of these meals with me and my cousin. i love portugese, its not my fav but damn its good.

That is if you are at a pizza place in the tri state

if you want the best foccacia bread go to il cortile in little italy. they give it to you pre-meal with many different breads. they hate me because i keep asking them to refill the bread basket with it. for a while that was my fav place to eat at in the city. i would go 2 times a week even if i wasnt in the city or had any reason to go. i would go just for a meal. anyway i eventually got the same waiter and it got to the point that when he brought us our check he also started to bring me a bag full of foccacia bread to take home. great place and great staff but even better foccacia bread.

i have been to boston many times used to go for 3-5 times a year for work. one of my fav places to visit but by far 1 of the best places to eat. the chowders and lobster dishes are some of the best and believe it or not underdog is correct their pizza is pretty damn good. actually so is there italian food but i really enjoyed their pizza and i have tried mutiple places.

one thing i did notice and maybe its just the places i went to but boston is almost as thick as a chicago style pizza. and when i say almost i mean better and thanks god not as thick. they seem to be an inbetweener of the ny/nj thickness and chicago. im not a big fan of chicago style but bostons is just about right.

i usually go the other way on pizza. My favorite kind is margarita pizza which is about as thin as you can make it. I can hammer like 10 slices of that shit. GODDAMMIT now im hungry


and the best clam chowder i have ever had is on Nantucket. its this place at the top of the cliffs where the bus tour always ends. Its fuckin awesome. So awesome that i end up disappointed anytime i eat clam chowder that isnt from there

i do like a sicilian pizza every now and then but i prefer a med /normal thickness the majority of the time and every so often and depending on the place a thin crust. its funny that i like sicilian pizza when its almost like deep dish yet i hate chicago style deep dish pizza . some places make a very italian sicilian which is real thick but with no cheese, its like a foccacia bread. mmm, as you can tell i love pizza.

Hmm... never really noticed the difference in thickness. They have some real thin crust NY style down here, but there are places like that in Boston. There's a place called Emma's in Cambridge that has like cracker crisp and super thin crust. You can also get a spicy rosemary sauce on the pizza. It's fucking awesome.

I get it. George Wallace was an asshole. But he's not the Guv'nuh down here no more. This is the new south!

the transplanted person has to order the water themselves. so maybe no one from up here moves to bama? you can do it. have a water installed in you location, call up a company that transport water somewhere up here preferably newark nj. i know i know but for some reason newark has some of the best water. have it shipped monthly and there you go, the start of the best new business idea in bama. add some local favs to the menu and you are a rich man.

really? i have always liked the food in boston. i would easily rank it top 5 in my places to eat and the only places ahead of it would be nj and ny. i still remember the 1st time i ate boston seafood it was at legal seafood. wow that was some of the best shit ever. i liked that the one we always went to had 2 places in 1. the 1 side was very nice and you had to dress up the other side which was attached and feet away you could look like a slob and go in and just enjoy a great meal. no matter which one you went into you were going for a huge bill but it was worth it. when i heard they were opening 1 in nj i got all excited. i then found out it was going to be in the mall and they were opening many. i knew it wasnt going to be the same. turns out it isnt. its more like a franchised, chain type of place that is luck to use the legal seafood name but the quality and menu doesnt match up to the originals in boston.

there is also a really good seafood, clam chowder place right on a pier in boston. i think its right in the cuty itself but i cant remember the name of that place. anyway the chowder is to die for. i would order it overnight right now if i could.

Pizza Hut using Newark water isn't going to cut it.

It's gotta be someone who knows what the fuck they're doing, and that aint me.

Chances are, if a decent place did open up, the cheap fuckers around here wouldn't pay for the quality, and I can't sustain a business on my own. (Although I'm trying like hell with a "pittsburgh" pizza place right now)

See, that's why I'm tryin to spread the word to get more of you bastages to start retiring in Gulf Shores.

I figure once there's enough of y'all down here, someone will open up a joint to feed the old fucks, and I get to start posting pics in the "This is Why You're Fat" thread without embarrassment!

really? i have always liked the food in boston. i would easily rank it top 5 in my places to eat and the only places ahead of it would be nj and ny. i still remember the 1st time i ate boston seafood it was at legal seafood. wow that was some of the best shit ever. i liked that the one we always went to had 2 places in 1. the 1 side was very nice and you had to dress up the other side which was attached and feet away you could look like a slob and go in and just enjoy a great meal. no matter which one you went into you were going for a huge bill but it was worth it. when i heard they were opening 1 in nj i got all excited. i then found out it was going to be in the mall and they were opening many. i knew it wasnt going to be the same. turns out it isnt. its more like a franchised, chain type of place that is luck to use the legal seafood name but the quality and menu doesnt match up to the originals in boston.

there is also a really good seafood, clam chowder place right on a pier in boston. i think its right in the cuty itself but i cant remember the name of that place. anyway the chowder is to die for. i would order it overnight right now if i could.

Seafood in Boston (and the area) has always been great.

But yeah, Legal Seafood has just become some shitty chain.

[Snacks]

Pizza Hut using Newark water isn't going to cut it.

It's gotta be someone who knows what the fuck they're doing, and that aint me.

Chances are, if a decent place did open up, the cheap fuckers around here wouldn't pay for the quality, and I can't sustain a business on my own. (Although I'm trying like hell with a "pittsburgh" pizza place right now)

See, that's why I'm tryin to spread the word to get more of you bastages to start retiring in Gulf Shores.

I figure once there's enough of y'all down here, someone will open up a joint to feed the old fucks, and I get to start posting pics in the "This is Why You're Fat" thread without embarrassment!

BOOM! Everyone wins!

i was talking about this the other day. i would move to bama but only to the gulf coast. its beautiful down there from what i have seen. i have never been to bama itself but when i lived in pensicola i was (from what i was told by locals) mins away from the bama border. a couple of things i wish i did the short time i lived down there. i wish i went to bama or new orleans which i also heard was only like a 3 hour drive.

whenever someone says to me "you got to go and eat at legal seafood in short hills mall" i get all uppity and shit on them and tell that place is a glorified red lobster. its so sad.

My chick tells me all the time that I should open up a place... but I don't know dick about making pizza crust and stuff.

A guy that used to work for me just opened up a place around the corner, but it's the usual southern junk. Still, if that dipshit can make a restaurant work, that gives me hope!

And, yeah, that couple from Pittsburgh are doing well, and it's catching on, even with a somewhat shitty, out of the way location. Tells me maybe these hayseeds are open to some new ideas anyway. And they are in no way the cheapest option for pizza and sammiches, and people are still showing up.

And I'm kidding about having to sell Gulf Shores. That place is growing every year, and some of those folks have to be from the old neighborhoods. There's gotta be a market for it already.

Some lucky fuck is going to make a killing. There's a couple "Chicago Pizza" joints that have survived, but it's just not the same.

I really think that you should actually come down and meet some of the... I don't want to say "real" bama fans... or "average" bama fans... let's call them the "fringe", or more "redneck" type bama fans... the ones that didn't actually attend UA at Tuscaloosa... before you make such a drastic decision.

I don't hate ALL bama fans. I live and work amongst them, so we have to get along... most of the time. Most UAT grads are great. It's them "other" ones ya gotta watch.

I wish it was all sweet and nice like in the commercial... and that they only said that to each other.

But when you get a drunk redneck screaming "ROLL DAMN TIDE" in your face because you walked into a bar wearing another school's cap or polo? It's too much.

Like the tree killer said... some of them just "have too much bama in them".

didnt know where to post this so I figured why not here?

Today we were talking about candy bars and granola bars from back in the day. There was 1 that I couldnt remember the name maybe one of you guys could help. It was like a granola bar, soft but it wasnt a flat rectangle it was more like 1/2 inch round and 3-4 inches long. It was a chocolate in the middle then covered by something that was the color of granola but might not have been granola. Usually came in a box of 8 or 10 and individually wrapped just like granola bars!

I know that is so vague but I cant really think how to describe it.

[StanUpshaw]

That's a snoball, son.

isnt a snoball like a cupcake?

this is shaped like a pretzel rod but a little fatter and about half the length or a little less.

its soft like a granola bar and has chocolate in the middle that goes all the way through the bar.

More than six decades ago, when the federal standards on the strength of airplane seats and seat belts were written, government regulations specified that seats be designed for a passenger weight of 170 pounds. But now the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds and the average woman 165.

First Im shocked that the avg man is still less then 200lbs. I was even more shocked that the avg woman only weighs 29 pounds less. Thats not as big a gap as I thought it would be especially when men have more muscle and muscle weighs more (or thats the old saying) and the avg difference in height between men and women is roughly 6 inches.

I can't believe the average woman is that big.

Ladies & gentlemen, for your consideration...the bacon shake. (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/bacon-shake-latest-entry-fried-food-renaissance-175523130.html)

Not sure if I'm disgusted or intrigued. Pretty sure I'm disgusted with all the ways people are now finding to mix the wonder of bacon with their sweets (http://eater.com/archives/2011/03/25/dennys-unveils-a-maple-bacon-sundae.php).

The sundae sounds great. I don't know why it should be any stranger than having a sundae with some crunchy pretzel pieces on top. Salty and sweet works.

Agreed, I like a nice peanut m&m, chocolate covered pretzel, etc., but I don't get the use of salted meats. To me it's like having a nicely peppered & salted steak....a la mode. Or a prosciutto sundae. Doesn't make me say "yummy!" Just my 2¢.

I was watching a thing on Fair foods on the travel channel over the weekend, and one of the things that stood out was the chocolate covered bacon (on a stick, of course) with a bit of coarse ground salt sprinkled on the chocolate.

It looked and sounded delicious.

And way back when R&F first talked about the now-famous Luther Vandross "burger donut", I have to admit, I was intrigued then too, although I've never sought one out.

I tried that at a bacon and beer festival this year, but the bacon was undercooked and the chocolate too melty. It wasn't particularly good.

More traditional, but still something I would pass on.

There's plenty of overweight yet not 200 lbs men out there
Plenty of in shape or in the middle shape men under 200

But yeh with all the pro athletes and morbid obese people I woulda thought it wulda been over 200



For women I think it's a combo of the crappy food we eat and more women in workforce usually a sedentary job and not home running around house chasing kids
