Fast Food Frenzy 6 (Sonic Drive-In Edition) & Obdurate Omelet

I think I'm pretty fond of Sonic Drive-In's because like Steak 'n' Shake there's something intrinsically retro about them. They're like modern-day blasts to our pasts or at least as close as you can get today.. Admittedly I guess the way Steak 'n' Shake tends to blare modern-day music and the drivel that this entails it's not entirely retro but the restaurant itself looks nice and they do serve nice milk-shakes that are very soda-bar and very retro feeling.. Coincidentally sporting sandwiches called 'buttery' helps them as well, back in the day 'buttery' was a given on everything; people ate butter like they smoked cigarettes - They consumed like it was going out of style because at the time understanding and knowledge of nutrition was limited and they thought both were healthy and good for you. How wrong they were. Butter consumption back in the day even extended to such disturbing avenues as candy;

That's pretty fucked up if you ask me. Butter is unhealthy to begin with but they made it into candy - Then again, I guess humanity has topped itself against with the aberrant abominable mutant that is deep fried butter;

Yeah sadly I'm totally not kidding and I'm just tempted to give up, kill myself or alternatively just.. I don't know.. This makes me feel like I've lost all hope or rather abandoned it.

At any rate Sonic Drive-In is pretty cool and with items like Dr. Pepper Orgasm on their secret menu's they win major points with me. I still can't get over the amusement I feel thinking about ordering that with a straight face..

Blazin' BBQ Loaded Burger:

This one both scares me and kind of looks good I'm ashamed to say because I know it has no nutritional value whatsoever. I know for a fact that it's injected with so many fats and empty calories that your stomach would be lucky to come out fifty lbs extra fluff with this, that's a conservative estimate.. You'd probably end up with a hundred or more.. This sandwich is unholy unhealthy and sports 1,120 calories, 62 grams of fat, and 21 grams of saturated fat - That's just the single patty version, there's a double-patty version that raises the nightmare bar to 1,520 calories and 96 grams of fat - That'll fuck you up, that'll put you down HARD.

Consisting of a pure beef patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato and pepper-jack cheese, hickory BBQ sauce, sliced jalapenos, battered jalapeno strips, and sweet and spicy habanero sauce.. Hurr.. And as I take a deep breath in to try and keep from passing out after going over that massive list of ingredients I will note that this thing is in fact disturbingly loaded with unnecessary shit which is probably where the calorie count and fat-content comes from.. Still it almost sounds and looks vaguely good.

Admittedly that's a pretty awesome commercial.

Kickin' Coney & Bacon and Blue Dog:

So I think I need an actual definition of the word 'Coney', evidently 'Coney' is a Coney Island Hot-Dog - This isn't a Coney then, is it? Neither of them.. They're not from Coney Island, they're from the Sonic Drive-In where ever you get them so are they still Coney's or are they just loaded Hot-Dogs?

..Who knows.. At any rate Sonic seems to have an abnormal obsession with stuffing shit into Hot-Dogs. It's kind of disturbing to be honest, I've never seen this anywhere except for a couple of Hot-Dogs featured at Steak 'n' Shake - What ever happened to having a Hot-Dog with just mustard or ketchup? When did Hot-Dogs become something that had to be stacked like over-muscled mutant beasts?

The Kickin' Coney is a beef Dog allegedly, topped with chili, cheddar cheese, crispy onions, and chipotle BBQ Sauce while the Blue Dog is a beef Dog, covered in bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a blue cheese dressing, all held together on a poppy seed bun. - I seriously don't get the obsession with over-stacking Hot-Dogs, I'd always thought simple Hot-Dogs with mustard and ketchup were far superior; they're simple and good. Why fill them up with all this crap that's just going to take away from it's Hot-Dogness? This is more like a burger than a Hot Dog now, why not just have a burger?

Pumpkin Pie Milk Shake:

Right from the get-go let me state the following; a regular 14 oz shake is 710 calories, 34 grams of fat - This is unhealthy as fuck... That said it's damned Pumpkin Pie, I love Pumpkin Pie; it's delicious looking and tempting as fuck as well. This is a delicious decadence whose composition is as detailed; a hand-mixed shake made of real ice cream, real pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, pie crust pieces, and a whipped cream on top with even more pie crust chunks on top of it! No wonder it's so unhealthy, still though.. Guuhh.. So good looking I'm almost drooling.

...Though I'll point out that the slogan "Drink more pie" is big time disturbing.. I'm pretty certain you should never drink pie but that's me.. That said, it's Pumpkin goddamn Pie, give me a break; I'd drink it in a heartbeat. Sorry, but health consciousness be damned IT'S PUMPKIN PIE - Pumpkin Pie is uncommonly and unnaturally delicious!

Sadly this was a Limited Time Offer so it's likely that these are no longer available if I'm guessing right. Wonder if they'll ever be back?

Dinner:

Obdurate because it was goddamn difficult to cook. This is Umi no niwatori omuretsu (Chicken of the Sea Omelet) and was a Japanese inspired dish which I am VERY proud of because it was VERY hard to cook - I've never quite done a traditional Omelet like this before, the actual act of cooking a rounded egg in the pans I have without any tools that would normally be used in cooking it was fairly difficult and took quite a lot of effort.

In the end all that effort paid off as I had a beautiful wrapped Omelet on my hands - Inside is a filling of Japanese spinach steamed rice and a Japanese tuna and sea-weed mix which tasted oh so very good - Believe me, I tried this before I served it; it was amazing.

The Anpan (Sweet Roll) was extra special with something in it I wouldn't normally add but did off a whim, pieces of a Zero Bar mixed in with the Anko (Sweet Red Bean Paste) and the second side was a boiled sweetened apple which came out perfectly. Everything on this dish was completely flawless and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out - Booyah! That's all I got to say. BOOYAH!
