I would die twice

I really wish the stuff they cooked on Epic Meal Time didn't look so delicious


That stuff is horrifying.


Well, yes...that's kinda the point. But at the same time, it looks amazing.

Anyway...for those who are unawares, there is a group of Canadian "chefs" that call themselves "Epic Meal Time" and post videos of their culinary creations online. HERE'S THEIR WEBSITE for your edutainment. Sure, the videos aren't necessarily the most family-friendly things on the internetz, but they do bleep out the cursing, so it's not so bad.

Their specialty is creating the largest, least healthy, highest bacon-content food imaginary. They take cooking to lengths so extraordinary that it's easy to see why nobody's ever done this sort of thing before. I'm reasonably sure that none of their creations has used less than 3 pounds of bacon.

Here's the problem. The guys seem to actually be really good cooks. The stuff they make looks like it would be delicious in normal-sized portions that aren't all globbed together in one beastly assemblage. Particularly fascinating is the giant burrito they made on Mexican night. They made tacos, but used bacon instead of tortillas. I actually want to try these things, but there is no way in creation I would even attempt the sort of nonsense they do pretty regularly on the show.

Also, check out the hamburger tribute to Ben Roethlisberger. That's pretty impressive, too.
