Tackling the Hamdog

The HamdogNo, that's not some euphemism for playing football or for having sex, it's the attempt to eat the specialty dish at Mulligan's Bar in Decatur, Georgia, the HamDog. It's a hot dog wrapped in a hamburger patty, deep fried, covered in chili, cheese, and onions. Oh, and toss a fried egg and some french fries on there too.

Somewhere, Homer Simpson is drooling.

As the article says, it's not the healthiest of meals, and the South has become known as "The Stroke Belt," sort of the headquarters of the national obesity epidemic around the country. But everything in moderation I guess. It's not something you'd eat every single day, or maybe more than once a month, but it's certainly something I'll tackle if I'm ever in the area.
