the sandwich at the earl was great, and came with its own dipping sauce.

if white castle is as much like Krystals as i imagine, then they are only good when stoned and making a 2 a.m. food run, fried or not.

I guess in that state of mind anything can be considered for consumption.

WOW. I would think your body would require a complete overhaul. My arteries and heart say no, but I say yes.

I love the rationale: What's good for yeh? Your own body will tell you what's good for yeh.

The problem is that our bodies crave what was good for us when we were essentially wild animals trying to survive; when it was difficult to get enough energy from our meager diets.

Of course the exception to this rule is nachos. Isn't there even a minimum recommended daily allowance for nachos?

I think I've been to that place, but I can't remember the menu. Is the sandwich you had like a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Cristo_sandwich" ?
