I forgot to take a picture of what I ate for lunch, but I’ll tell you:
Pesto chicken sandwich on a french roll with a cup of vegetable soup. It was great.
Dinner:
Chicken, scallions, celery, carrots, rice noodles and mandarin oranges with lettuce tossed with house-made sesame oriental dressing.
Also stole a french fry and an onion ring from someone’s plate.
I read an article on ESPN.com earlier today. The Gateway Grizzlies in Illinois have apparently created “Baseball’s Best Burger.”
The ballpark sandwich will include a hamburger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon — all between a “bun” made of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut.
Sounds easy enough. Feeling adventurous, I grabbed some Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts and left the rest to our amazing chefs at Doogle’s. I forgot that the doughnuts are used cut-side out, so the glaze doesn’t get all over your fingers.
Verdict: AMAZING.
Despite the fact that each burger loads 1000 calories and 45 grams of fat into your system, I would gladly eat another. and another. and another.
I made a second batch with the bun properly oriented, cut them up, and served them to our bar customers during happy hour. Everyone loved them and no one had a heart attack. Though I don’t think we’ll be adding it to our menu, maybe we’ll add it to our secret menu.
Here’s a pic of the Doogle Krispy Kreme burger (first batch).
Since elementary middle school I have been able to drive, I have never brought a lunch with me from home. But Mr. Bento might force me to cook food, so I can bring leftovers the next day. What’s Mr. Bento? Only the coolest stainless steel lunch jar ever.
Mr. Bento lunch jar, which comes with a series of microwaveable bowls that keep food hot while you’re working. The bowls come in 15.2-, 10.1-, 9.5-, and 6.8-ounce sizes, perfect for rice, soup, a main dish, and a side dish. The bowls also stack conveniently inside the washable container, which employs vacuum-insulated stainless-steel construction to preserve the temperature of its contents for hours. If the bowls aren’t necessary for your meal, simply use the jar by itself to keep other foods hot or cool. The bundle even comes with an easy-to-carry bag for convenient transport.
There’s even a Mr. Bento food porn group pool on Flickr. 78 Photos of what people have put in totheir Mr. Bento.
In my Mr. Bento, I’m putting a Big Mac, fries, Wendy’s chili, and ketchup. Any other suggestions for what 4 foods I could stuff in my Mr. Bento? If they’re appetizing enough, I think I’m gonna pick one up later this week.
