Please don't sushi us: part 2.

Sushi: Spicy Salmon Roll - $6.50
Pizza Hut: Personal Pan Cheese Pizza - $3.57

-Sushi Pizza-

What's better than sushi? Why, doing horrible things with said sushi. My abomination was putting the spicy salmon roll on top of the cheese pizza. I tried cutting the sushi in half in order to make it more edible, but that just made a mess. I took the first bite and quickly said, "Nope." and tried my best not to spit it out. Before taking bite 2, I drowned the sushi in soy sauce. How was it? Infinitely better! For no explainable reason, the soy sauce made the sushi pizza rather tasty (comparatively..). 

Would I eat it again? Yes! Would I pay for it? Um.... no. The taste of the combination is very hard to explain. Maybe changing the sushi type would help the taste, but I can't think how. Try it if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, but I would not recommend it.

Verdict: Thumbs down. Once again, if you're feeling adventurous go ahead and try it. If you want something good then don't. 

Josh's Opinion: No, I would just say no to this whole experiment. The pizza and sushi combined aren't very good. I think it was the Mozzarella. I would agree with Kevin, in not recommending this.

Sushi blinded me with science: part 1

Welcome once again to another SMC. Today we decided to be a little dangerous. As the title implies, we used sushi with some other fast food dishes. My sushi of choice was the spicy tuna roll, and I chose to combine it with the Krystal's chili cheese pup. Sound disgusting? Let's find out.

Sushi Pup
Items:

Spicy Tuna Roll: $6.50
Krystal Chili Cheese Pup Combo: $5.89

The combination was kind of simple. As you can see I just put the sushi onto the hot dog and dug in. I thought it would be bad, but it was surprisingly delightful. The chili, cheese, and mustard were a good combination with the rice, fish, and sriracha sauce. The sushi added a kind of sweet and spice to the pup. That was delightful. The only complaint is that the fish was overpowered in the end by the other flavors. Overall, I would say try it, and see what comes out later.

Verdict: Good, definitely worth a try. Kind of expensive though.

Kevin's Opinion: Thumb a bit up. The fish was overpowered by the hotdog. This combining left me with the urge to try chili sushi.

Arby's / Taco Bell part 2b

Arby's: Arby-Q - 2 for $4
Taco Bell: Mini spicy chicken quesadilla

-Spicy Arby-Q-

This week I went for two combinations. The second, while made the same way, addressed the taste of the meat. Whatever sauce Taco Bell uses on these little beauties went really well with Arby's barbeque sauce. The tortilla was the same consistency as the bun, but it didn't hinder the taste (at least enough to notice). What I learned from this combination was to always snag some taco bell hot sauce if I'm going to Arby's.

Verdict: Thumbs up. A real improvement taste wise, but it's still just meat on a  bun.

Josh's Opinion: Good GOD! It was really good, the real winner of the days exploits. The BBQ sauce with the spicy chicken was what I loved the most. Sweet and Spicy, a good combination.

Arby's / Taco Bell part 2a

Arby's: Arby-Q - 2 for $4
Taco Bell: Tostada - $1

-Arby-Q Deluxe-

If you are not a fan of a butt-ton of meat on a bun then you probably don't like Arby's.  My first combining was too address the lack of options for a sandwich. The Arby-Q on special right now (2 for $4, what a deal!), so I used that as my base. To make this combination, I first removed the meat from the bun and put it on the tostada. Then I folded the tostada in half and put it between the buns. The cheese, lettuce, and tomato was a good mix for the barbeque meat, but the refried beans were a bit too over powering. As well, The crunchiness of the corn tortilla added texture variety. All in all, a tasty combination in the right proportions. I'd say try this one out for yourself.

Verdict: Thumbs up. It raised the appeal of the sandwich overall. Less beans, and this would have been a tasty treat.


Josh's Opinion: No Go. The tostada and Arby-Q were okay. I didn't really like the tostada, it didn't seem like it had a lot going on for it.

Arby's / Taco Bell part 1

Hello, and welcome to another rendition of Super Manly Combining Food. Today we went with at restaurant challenge. The restaurants chosen today were Taco Bell and Arby's. This unusual combination was suggested by a friend, and we went with it. This is our story, and we are here to tell it.

Beefy, Cheesy, Potatoey, Roast Beefy, Burrito: By Josh.

Beef and Potato Burrito: $2.39
Beef and Cheddar: $3.00

The food item I have made today, is a combination of The Beef and Cheddar from Arby's, and the Beef and Potato Burrito from Taco Bell. I started by opening the burrito and applying a liberal amount of roast beef. I also added some curly fries, and a small amount of the onion bun that the beef and cheddar comes on. After that I applied some cheese from the sandwich and some Hot sauce from Taco Bell. The results are as follows.

It was pretty damn good. The two items by themselves are pretty good, but the combination was like combining two good food items. The roast beef and the curly fries added a saltiness that I always thought was lacking. The superior beef was also good, and the superior cheese from Arby's was a nice touch. It had a more cheddar taste, that mixed well with the nacho cheese.

Verdict: Good, but I wouldn't recommend it combining these two items. It's good and filling, but kind of pricey. I would really recommend just going for the Beef and cheddar or the value menu at Taco Bell.

Kevin's Opinion: You can get good meat at Taco Bell, but not for the price. Taking bare bone burritos and adding your own brand of deliciousness is always a safe bet.

Dessert Mix Up Part 2

McDonalds: 2 Apple Pies - $1.19
Taco Bell: Cinnamon Twists - $1.09

-Apple Pie with a Twist-

Step 1, bite off the end of an apple pie. Step 2, put a cinnamon twist in. Step 3, be disappointed. I was hoping this would turn my pie into a more cinnamon-y apple pie, but it didn't work out. The twists were too big for the pie making it hard to put them in. Also, the twists overpowered the taste of the apple and made the whole thing blander. Definitely a step down from the original and a sad outcome :( . Maybe putting the dippin' dots in the pie and the cinnamon twists in the cake would have been less of a dessert disaster.

Josh's Opinion: I don't have much to say, it just tasted like a crunchier version of the apple pie. Not really recommended.

Dessert Mix Up Part 1

Another week, another food combination. Today was a pretty easy combination, but that just made it more difficult. We decided to do desserts today. I had a hard time deciding what to do, but I eventually found my niche.

Bippin` Downie: By Josh
Brownie Sandwich from Taco Bell: $1.19
Chocolate Mint Dippin` Dots: $3.35

I'll be short today, the brownie sandwich just had frosting in the middle, so I took the brownie apart and put some of those dots in there. The ice cream of the future is such a weird dessert. Mainly just the texture and the way it stuck to everything but the brownie. Overall, it's as you would expect, a brownie with ice cream inside. Pretty good, but the sub par quality of the brownie really hurt the quality.

Verdict: Not so good. Not only is this combination not great, but it's really expensive. If you want to do something like this just get some cheap ice cream, and some Little Debbie brownies. Save some money at least.

Some Assembly required

-Kevin-
I only had one bite of this thing and there wasn't many dots in it. 
Verdict: Thumbs down. For a combining at least. The taco bell brownie wasn't too tasty and it was hard putting too many dots in the brownie

Side Salad Spruce Up Part 2

Chik-fil-A: Side Salad - $2.79
Taco Bell: Crunchy Taco - $1.09

-Taco Salad-

Before I begin I have to say the side salad at Chik-fil-A is fantastic. They fill the container full of greens and give you a packet of burned tomato crispy red bell peppers. Kudos to you Chik-fil-A for making a good product.

This is a simple dish, but for only $1.09 it changed a side item into a full meal. To make this I dumped out the contents of the taco into the salad and then broke up the crispy shell as small as possible before adding it. It was super tasty and a great way to eat "healthy" fast food. I wouldn't change a thing. The orange things in the picture are the red bell peppers.

Verdict: Big thumbs up. I could see myself getting this whenever I had a craving for fast food. I believe the taco will be good in any fast food side salad.

Josh's Opinion: It was alright. It mainly tasted like a taco but with a lot of extra lettuce. I would have recommended some dressing to compliment the beef and tortilla. I don't know which kind of dressing though. Maybe a ranch or blue cheese?

Side Salad Spruce Up: Part 1

Breakfast Salad: By Josh

Chik-Fil-A Side Salad: $2.79
Sonic Steak & Egg Burrito: $3.30

Hey there, after a long break we're back with some more combining of the Super Manly variety. Today we decided to spruce up some side salads with various outcomes. We both went to Chik-Fil-A for our side salads and had two different venues for our add-on, so here we go.

I decided to get a breakfast burrito from Sonic. The Steak & Egg burrito was always a tasty treat, so I decided to add it onto a salad. The combination was fairly good. I've never had scrambled eggs in my salad before, but it was still just as a good as a boiled egg. The steak was nicely marinated in whatever juices Sonic uses, and the cheese and tortilla also added a nice touch to the already tasty salad. I used a combination of the packet of salsa that came with the burrito and the Spicy Salad dressing from Chik-Fil-A. As it was described to me, the dressing is a lot like a chipotle ranch, but spicier. It was a good compliment to the salad. The only thing I would have changed was the softness of the tortilla. I wish I could have baked it a bit to add a bit more crunch.

Verdict: Very good. I would recommend this combination if your a fan of steak, eggs, and lettuce. Maybe the lime avocado ranch would have been good with it as well, but we'll never know now.

-Kevin-
Verdict: Thumbs down. The soft shell was soggy and didn't compliment the crunchyness of the lettuce. As well, the cheese was primarily in the eggs and didn't spread out to well. Finally, the breakfast burrito is pricey for breaking it up and adding it into a salad.

Short Break

Sorry all you Super Manly Combining Food fans, we have to take a short break due to general sickness and lack of funds. Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it, with all the sick combinations you can desire.

Chillin` with Chili Part 2

Sonic Fried Cheese Sticks - $2.99
Wendy's Chili - $1.59

 Fried Cheesy Chili: By Kevin

I'm a fan of chili with fritos and cheese in it, so I ran with that idea. I cut up the cheese sticks into small chunks and mixed it into the chili. Wendy's chili is chunky and the smooth cheese and buttery crust helped smooth the flavor out. I only put three of the five cheese sticks into the chili due to space constraints, but it could have used all five.

 Judgement: Thumbs up

After trying this, it is the only way I would eat Wendy's chili. I really liked the top half that was full of the cheese sticks. The main downfall is the price.

-Josh -
 Judgement: Adequate.
I thought Kevin's combination was adequate. I'm not a huge fan of Wendy's chili, and the mozzarella sticks were left sitting a bit too long. If the cheese was melty, I think I would have liked it a lot more, but I don't like chewing on cheese. The sweetness of the marinara sauce was a good idea though. Dipping chili is something I'm new to, but the crust from the sticks and the added taste sense improved it a bit.

Chillin` with Chili Part 1

Today we were going to do a side item soiree`, but since both of us decided to get chili based items it became something far more magical. The challenge was to take the side items and combine them with other sides to make them into a delicious meal. So, here are the results.

2 Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito's $2
1 Large Chili Cheese Tots $2.99

Chili Cheese & Tot Burrito's: By Josh

I went with something simple, yet delicious. We both got items from Sonic, but I went with the chili cheese tots and combined them with the cheesy bean and rice burrito at Taco Bell. I first had to unwrap the burrito, which was no pick-nick, and dump some tots on there that were covered with chili and special sonic shredded American cheese. The combination was amazing. The burrito by itself is bland with only the cheese sauce to add some more flavor, but the tots added a saltiness and texture that really advanced the experience. The chili was also huge factor. I'll make it no secret that my favorite burrito from Taco Bell was the Chili Cheese Burrito, but it was discontinued. This combo brought me back to days of yore that made me feel a magical essence forming in my mouth. The cheese sauce that Taco Bell uses also added a great taste that's hard to describe, since it wasn't in every bite, but was very enjoyable.

Judgement: Great Job
I would strongly recommend this combination, especially if you're as huge a chili fan as I. The saltiness, the chiliness, and the cheesyness was heavenly.

-Kevin-
I only had two bites as Josh was very protective of his treat. The first bite had a chili tater tot in it and was tasty. The second bite did not and tasted the same as the normal CB&R Burrito does. Sonic's chili has no beans, so it doesn't taste over beany, but the meat in the chili didn't shine through (maybe because Sonic doesn't use much meat...).

Judgement: Thumbs  a little up
Add in some more taters for a more tasty combination.

Leftover cookies revisited

Kevin here doing a quick solo post. I was unsatisfied with how the leftover cookies came out last Monday, so I took the leftover batter and made a change to how we laid them out. First I rolled the cookie into a circle and pushed anything that melted into the center of the dough instead of just laying them out. This worked really well with only a tiny bit of leakage, but they looked and tasted better than the first batch. I still say this is a fun experiment to do with friends, and if it turns out badly that's fun too. Just make a few changes, try again, and enjoy the experience.

See! Now, don't those look tasty? Because they were. I'd like to mess around with these and actually make a new well thought flavor as well as letting chaos reign. If anyone out there has any good cookie combining recipes feel free to drop them in the comments. We'd love to try them out.

Super manly movie snack leftover

Like to live dangerously? Take your leftover snacks and mix it all up in some cookie dough to make dangerously delicious (gross) cookies! We took sugar cookie batter and mixed it with the buncha crunch, sweet tarts, gummy bears, and the red vines to make Kamikaze Cookies.

Judgment:
-Kevin-
Grrrrr, Gummy Bear no like fire! They melted and maybe so did the sweet tarts... On the up side it lived up to the name of kamikaze cookie. Making the cookies and eating one was fun. Eating two was kinda gross. The buncha crunch was good in the sugar cookies, and the fruity other bits were exotic tasting. Exotic as in not delicious in cookies. Would I recommend making these from left over snacks? Yes, it is a fun way to end a night adventure.

Josh here, and I am washing my hands of this abomination towards God and everything good on this earth.

Super Manly Movie Snacks

Hello everyone, today we have something a little bit different on the table. We decided to make some movie snacks that are the combinations of two great things in order to make your movie parties that much better. The idea is simple and convenient, so without further ado, here come the combo's.

 

Soda Straws: By Josh

The idea for soda straws comes from my childhood. Get some Red Vines, bite off the ends and use them as straws. It doesn't really enhance the flavor, however, it enhances the fun a great deal.

-Kevin-

An oldie, but a goodie. We used Sprite for the soda which was fun because the red from the vines made the Sprite red over time and more cherry tasting. Plus, once we finished the soda the red vine was Sprite tasting. A fun idea for children especially, but it will get red gunk on your hands once wet. I would also recommend using glasses a bit shorter    then the red vine so you can drink out of it easily.

Popcrunch: By Kevin
Take popcorn and buncha crunch and combine in a manly fashion for delicious results. I would say 4 little bunchas for 3 pieces of popcorn is a good mouthful Two quick pieces of advice:
1. Get buttered and salted popcorn
2. Combine them in your mouth, not in the bowl. The chocolate will melt and make a mess

-Josh-
 The combination of sweet and salty is something that I have always loved. This concoction harps on my love, and gives rise to what my taste buds have been missing. The sweet chocolate mixed with the savory popcorn was good. The End. Just make sure you get the right popcorn, as some can be rather bland.

Gummy Bear Love: By Kevin
 The original idea was gummy bears and mini runts and put them inside the gummy beats, but we couldn't find any. Instead we got chewy sweet tarts which were a bit too big to put in gummy bears. Trust us, we tried.

-Josh-
The idea was original, just not as good as a combination. The gummy bears and the sweet tarts are both good on their own. The combination of the two doesn't improve on the flavor, but it doesn't hinder the flavor either. The chewy bears mixed with the crunchy tarts did have an interesting texture, however.

Got any better movie snack combines? Feel free to get creative and leave your manly movie snacks in the comments.

Expansion: Chicken Teriyaki/McDonalds bonus

Big Mac y'all! If you thought we were going to McDonalds and not buying their signature sandwich then you are crazy. Combining American and (American-)Chinese food in an attempt to unify our (American) cultures. This sandwich was all about bringing us closer to world peace.
 
The first step was to take the top patty and toppings and in a gracious manner move it to the bottom to make way for our Chinese brothers to have equal space and opportunity to make this sandwich delicious.

After setting up the chicken and rice in their new high-rise home we sealed it with a kiss, cut it in half, and began devouring our boundaryless burger hopeful that our actions would bring about a new era of racial equality.

                                                                      Verdicts:

-Kevin-
Thumbs down. No world peace today and no amount of manipulation can save this idea. It was like Josh's but thicker so you had to roll it around in your mouth more. It was just.... Blegh. As a final note McD fries, rice, and chicken is also non too tasty.

-Josh-
The Big Mac was more or less like mine, just with shredded lettuce. The whole made it more waterlogged and generally bland. I would not recommend the Big Mac

Expansion: Chicken Teriyaki/McDonalds part 2

Sarku Japan: Chicken Teriyaki - Double Meat - $6.48
McDonalds: Chicken and Bacon Wrap - $2.99

-Asian Taco-

The tortilla for McDonalds new premium wraps is quite tasty, but like most wraps, it is pretty empty inside. What they do put inside, however, is rather tasty. I first removed half the McDonalds chicken and filled it with rice, teriyaki chicken, cabbage, carrots, and broccoli. With so many ingredients my wrap evolved into something more like a burrito.

Long story short; it was super tasty. I could see this as a regular menu item at any store that sells wraps. The McDonalds wrap contained breaded chicken, spinach, lettuce tomato, and a tiny piece of bacon all of which went well with the teriyaki chicken, but I think any tortilla item would have been delicious. Even just buying some tortillas and lettuce and making an asian taco at home sounds tasty. One thing to note is that after the McyD's chicken had been sitting out for tenish minutes it became much (like super a lot) less tasty.

Verdict: Big thumbs up on the Asian Taco. I would definitely recommend it if your mall contains an Asian place and either McDonalds, Chik-fil-A or Taco Bell. Definitely secret menu material.

-Josh-
Kevin's food was an interesting idea. The bacon from the wrap was really good. The same problem came about with the rice. It was too watery and made everything taste a bit bland. His combo really accentuated the teriyaki though. It was far tastier than mine.

Expansion: Chicken Teriyaki/Mcdonalds Part 1

Josh here, Today we were expanding on a common meal, Chicken Teriyaki, with a menu item of choice from Mcdonalds. One thing we did learn from this experiment was, if you let Mcdonalds food get cold, it turns into a terrible mess. Here's the list:

Mcdonalds: #2 Combo, 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and drink. Large Sized - $4.89
Sarku Japan: Chicken Teriyaki - Double Meat - $6.48

-Chicken Teriyaki Burger-

I started with the cheeseburger, added a layer of rice, chicken, and vegetables. I also put a small layer of fries on top. It's pretty easy and a little boring, but it worked. At first bite the food didn't mesh well together, and the cheese wasn't noticeable. The second bite changed everything. The teriyaki sauce, and the cheese combined in a way that I wouldn't have though. The saltiness of the cheese and the sweetness of the teriyaki was a nice flavor, but after that everything went wrong. I couldn't taste the sauce anymore and the water from the rice made everything taste a little bland and waterlogged. The fries, however, added a nice texture that I wouldn't have thought originally. Since Mcdonalds fries are pretty tasty on their own, this is an obvious conclusion to come. The pickles also added a nice saltiness that wasn't accentuated otherwise. I think salt and pickling adds a nice flavor to the burger.

Verdict: Bland, the water from the rice ruined the entire meal, making it a bland mess. I would recommend just adding the chicken teriyaki and some of the vegetables, which included onions and fried lettuce, with a little extra teriyaki sauce.

 -Kevin-
Ugh. Something about putting a teriyaki chicken platter on the burger made my stomach revolt. I don't know if it was the meat or what but it's definitely not good. The pickles were especially gross when combined with teriyaki. I wouldn't try it again. (Josh) (Keep in mind Kevin hates pickles on a burger, so his opinion is null and void on that subject. Also most sauces on a burger turn him off as well, so it's weird to eat with him sometimes)

Verdict: Thumbs down. Try it just to see how gross it can be.

Any suggestions?

Josh here, just wanting to add, if you have any suggestions for food challenges as listed in the first post, leave a comment. We have a few ideas getting started, but could always use more.We'll put your username in future posts if we use your suggestion, so don't be afraid, unless you don't want us too. Just remember that we are located in the South with a limited number of choices, so we won't be able to do everything that you can suggest. For example, the nearest Jack in the Box is about 200 miles away for us. But, if it's in the Knoxville, Tennessee area you can bet we'll try it, and combine it with another restaurant.

Restaurant: Subway/Captain D's part 2

Subway: 6 in Buffalo Chicken on wheat - $4.50
    tomato, lettuce, cucumber
Captain D's: Southern Style Fish meal - $4.99
    fries, hushpuppies

-Southern Surf and Turf Sandwich-

-Kevin-

When thinking about this challenge, I knew I wanted Buffalo chicken and something. Having never been to Captain D's before, I could only imagine what would be my second item. Going with the Southern Style Fish meal was a good choice.

The manly combining style used in this dish was splitting the fish down the middle, cutting the hushpuppies into thirds and putting it on top of the buffalo chicken. A simple combination, but tasty nonetheless. However, this did make the sandwich hard to hold and it did fall apart right at the end. The taste of the sandwich as a whole was better then the individual meals. The unbreaded chicken combined with the over-breaded fish helped balance out the flavor and enhance the natural taste of both. As well, The buffalo sauce from Subway complimented the southern style breading. The hush puppies added more breading and couldn't really be tasted. If I made the sandwich again, I would leave them off. I used only a few toppings to make sure I could taste the flavor of the meats. Some toppings I would recommend would be onion, tartar sauce, or ranch dressing.

A final note to this meal is that at Captain D's they give you enough fish for a footlong, but it's so massive a 6 inch sub will be all you want. If you want to try this meal I'd recommend going with a friend and since you get two sides at Capy D's, each person can pick their favorite.


Judgement: Thumbs up
I would get this sandwich again, just maybe not on whole wheat and with more toppings. Definitely worth a try and affordable if you split this with one other person.

-Josh-
Kevin's food was good. The fish combined with the buffalo sauce made for a good combination. As subway chicken is, I could have done without it. If subway offered a fried fish with buffalo sauce sandwich. I would try it once, realize subway makes terrible fish, and never again. I think his sandwich could have used something more though, a sauce of some sort, other than just the buffalo, maybe Ranch or Tartar Sauce?

Judgement: It was a good food combination, I just thought it could have a little bit more.

Restaurant: Subway/Captain D's part 1

Subway: Spicy Italian sandwich with onions, provolone cheese, lettuce, and mustard. Also a broccoli and cheese soup - $6.50
Captain D's: Fish tenders with butterfly shrimp, fried okra, french fries, and hush puppies - $4.99

-Josh-
A sandwich. I placed the fish and and shrimp in between the pepperoni and salami, cut up a
hush puppy and added a few fries in for good measure. I also added a layer of tartar sauce. For the soup I just added some of the okra and cut up some fries and put them in there.

The sandwich, at first, was overpowered by the fish. As time went on the pepperoni and salami became a larger factor and added a nice spiciness that was a decent flavor for what I was eating. The shrimp was unnoticeable. So were the hush puppies, although they did add a nice texture that usually isn't there for a subway sandwich. the mustard was overpowering, and didn't add anything to the experience other than the taste of mustard, plus the guy who made the sandwich really piled it on. The soup was bland and watery from the get go. I was expecting them to have a wider selection, but broccoli and cheese was the only choice. The okra added into it was really good, with the soup acting as more of a dipping sauce then an actual food. The french fries went unnoticed until all the okra was gone, but the saltiness and the way Captain D's fries are fried made a really interesting combination that greatly enhanced the flavor of the soup when cornered. If I did the soup again, I would have gotten the steamed broccoli at Captain D's instead of the okra to add more substance, since there was any broccoli in the soup to begin with.

Judgement: Good Job. I enjoyed the meal. If I had to do it again, I would get less mustard. Also, fewer veggies, since the sandwich was so big I could barely fit it in my mouth. For the soup, it was alright, but some salt and pepper would have gone a long way to enhance the flavor. (I just forgot to grab some packets of them while I was in the restaurant.)

-Kevin-

I am not a fan of mustard or tartar sauce, both of which Josh's sandwich had plenty of. Therefore, I only took  a few bites. One thing I will say is that the spices on the pepperoni and salami made the fish really tasty. The Shrimp he put on was overpowered by the meats and sauces, and I couldn't really taste it.
The broccoli cheddar soup with french fries and fried okra was a great idea, but the soup was too bland for it to be best experienced. With better soup I would definitely recommend this combination.

Judgement: Thumbs up on the sandwich. Total thumbs up on the soup if it were from a place that specialized in soup.

Super Manly Combining Food Blog

Like fast food? Like secret menus? How about combining food to make awesome new recipes? If your answer was yes to any of those then welcome to our blog! The purpose of this blog is for the writers, Josh and Kevin, to use the power of our imaginations and our resilient stomachs to combine different food from different fast food restaurants into super manly dishes. (Get the name now?) We have a few different ways to go about this:

1. Restaurant Challenge: The only thing predetermined is the two venues. What we buy and what we do with them is completely up in the air. However, we will try to stick to one main dish and just a few side dishes. The purpose of this is to make delicious secret menu items and pass them along.

2. Food Challenge: We start with two identical menu items bought at the same place and challenge each other to find the most delicious and unique way to combine them. In this challenge we will decide a winner between the two of this.

3. Expansion Challenge: We both start with the same menu item from the same fast food place and then buy a second menu item from any different restaurant to combine in the most delicious and unique way to determine a winner and hopefully a tasty new meal for you.

Get it? Got it? Good. Let's begin.
