It's that time of year again...and being a very thorough Foods Agent, when our yearly attendance at the Extension booth came around, I had to take advantage of the opportunity to personally investigate the Krispy Kreme hamburger making local headlines. One of our communications personnel documenting this caloric conundrum for Extension's website:
Extreeeeeme closeup of the sandwich in question:
Note the full complement of lettuce, onion, pickle, tomato. I opted out of the bacon and cheese (even this girl has her limits). I also asked for a regular bun, knowing the I would probably not make it past the first bite of the original sandwich. I didn't end up needing the extra bun, as I had several taste testing "assistants" that made more than one bite unnecessary. First assistant Tonya noted a slightly seasoned flavor to the patty that made us think of a McGriddle, but despite the fact that we both like sweet and salty combinations, we decided that this combo just didn't work for us.
Also eaten separately: Nitro Ice Cream. Frozen in less than 1/10th of a second, it is the creamiest frozen treat you will ever try. No caloric benefits to the Nitro process, unfortunately, so I will stick with gelato for my lower-cal creaminess, but once a year...you know it: all foods can fit! :)
It's no accident that my blog template matches Sabor's website as closely as I could find. I dragged my friends there for my last benchmark birthday, and will go again with anyone willing. It might be the plantain chips that take me back to my Jamaican birthplace, or this, the Ensalada Mixta con Pollo I had last time, a delight to the eye and palate.
Delicious!
Some of the famous hand-rolled sushi (red caviar!):
And what dinner is complete without a baby octopus salad? I am in the middle of my Anthony Bourdain bookfest, and I know he would be so proud:
Did you ever think you'd see this in KANSAS?! I think the foodie in me can die happy now (The rest of me has a few more items on the bucket list.)
