I'll be real, for drunk food they started off strong. I bet the taste of the hot dogs and the egg isn't too bad if you're tastebuds are toast. Then this bitch makes a beer cheese sauce to go over the top. Why can't we just do a hotdog with a toasted bun, with cheese sauce, covered in a nice fried egg with a gooey yolk? Is that not a better way to present this?

Keep in mind that many of the channels that make videos like these are shameless content mills. They churn out dozens of pieces of clickbait in compilation form to get as many views as possible. Creating a huge eye-catching monstrosity often isn't a misstep but the intended goal. The edibility of the resulting dish typically isn't a concern, and they frequently outright fake elements to get a more impressive looking end product and to 'prove' that their process works. You're not going to hold onto those coveted likes and subscribes if your ''food hacks'' are obviously shitty and fraudulent.

For example, in this one the before-after of what goes into the waffle iron look very different and there's a suspicious jumpcut. There seems to be way more egg at the end, and the hotdog meat doesn't look quite as ribbony as before. My guess is they cut up the hotdogs into even smaller chunks off-screen and added more egg, and likely starch, to the mixture to make it actually waffleable, because the thing they threw in there on camera should've ended up looking like the world's saddest attempt at döner kebab.

oh yeah i never mentioned what this was. some time ago, olive garden made an appetizer called pasta nachos which was fried pasta, bolognese, and cheese. it was horrifying and @BrunoMattei would be disturbed by it

The execution by Olive Garden was surely atrocious, but why not?

It's a more appealing name than "fried wheat nachos"

The cheese also looks...err.... suspicious


@mindlessobserver That's horrific! It's an original way to make pizza, right?
Everything is wrong! In no particular order, 1) wasting food (the "cover"), 2) cooking with electrical fire, rather wood fired oven, 3) it's basically steamed?? Cheese needs to not only melt but also make the crust and firm up a bit, 4) totally pointless because it had to be cooked already otherwise the based would be completely raw, 5) just...why??, 6) surely their plan to turn off the fire cannot be to use a freaking clipboard??

Now, this is truly horrific as it goes against the spirit of the dish and uses techniques that make it worse. Frying pasta? It works: dried pasta will become crunchy like a chip, and for fresh pasta it can be a puffy fried dough!

There's many more depths of depravity beyond the Eyetalian shit.


I am of the opinion that the bottom of the iceberg in a narrative feature film -not counting documentaries or shock videos or real CP snuff films- would be Man Behind the Sun (which is about Unit 731) because of there being a real autopsy of a child and a horrifying scene involving a cat. The director's follow up Black Sun: the Nanking Massacre is equally horrifying and soul destroying.

I don't see the problem. Is it too many tomatoes?

There's nothing wrong with a vegetable I would eventually eat, in fact, I can't live without them. In fact, I was gonna offer you some. You just gotta say that one thing (I don't accept money as payment).
