So I'm watching Man vs. Food on TV the other night and Adam the host goes to this place called The Buff where he orders (off the menu) some "Saddlebags". These saddlebags are described on their menu as "PANCAKES FILLED WITH YOUR CHOICE OF DICED BACON, SLICED SAUSAGE, OR DICED HAM, TOPPED WITH TWO EGGS".
What they fail to mention and show in this picture is that the entire plate is then subjected to a waterfall of maple syrup...ALL UP IN THERE. Adam is all closing his eyes and groaning, acting like he's enjoying it when in reality he's closing his eyes so he can picture himself in a world without sweet meat. And that groan was his gut reacting to the putrid combination hitting his taste buds and knowing that he can't spit it up while the camera is rolling. This is a despicable ploy for ratings.
I hope the owners of The Buff are happy that they've sold their soul for the sake of some publicity. You people disgust me.
What holiday season wouldn't be complete without Rach ruining some otherwise perfectly delicious meals! Trust me, just because you add cranberry's to something it doesn't make it good. Here's a new year's resolution for Rachael and her editors: STOP COMBINING THE SWEET WITH THE MEAT!
Here's the list of Rachael's gag-inducing recipes to start the new year:
- Honey-Almond Corned Beef Special
- Monte-Cristo Club (leave out the applesauce and you're fine)
- Orange Balsamic Chicken Thighs w/ Pecans & Sage Butter Pasta
- Sausage-Stuffed Chicken Breasts w/ Marsala & Cranberry-Orange Polenta
- Brisket w/ Sweet-Potato Tzimmes
- Winter White Burger
- Sticky Spiced-Apricot Meatloaf
- Napa Cabbage, Carrot & Almond Slaw w/ Honey
- Sausage, Fennel and Apple Skewers
I'll admit her numbers for this month were down, but the nausea factor is still sky-high. Don't agree? Put some apricots in your meatloaf and let me know how it turns out.
