...just how awesome this is. I stole this off a friends Facebook page. Apparently her friend cooked them today, but I think the pic is generic from the internet. I don't know how to make them, I don't know how to cook them, I just admire the artistry. I give to you... Bacon hot dog turtle burgers. Focus: It's bacon hot dog turtle burgers. I can't even think of a focus.
Holy fucking shit. Yesterday I finally got to experience the entity known as the Bacon Explosion. Which may be competing with Bacon Hotdog Turtleburgers. The Bacon Explosion wins. But... I dunno it's close.
Of course the bacon explosion wins. It is Bacon wrapped in sausage wrapped in bacon, smoked and covered with BBQ sauce. This is a bastardization. It introduces hot dogs to the mix. Hotdogs are disgusting. God invented them for the sole purpose of making sure poor American's don't starve. There is no excuse to have them on the same grill as bacon, let alone the same dish. Bacon and hot dogs? The combo sickens me to the point I would almost become a vegetarian.
I agree that the hot dog is a bastard protein source. I like a nice steak with a fried egg and some bacon on it for breakfast. 3 animals, 1 plate, 700 calories.
I'm not sure about this thing. I mean can you put it in a bun? Also I don't see any cheese on it. It's got plenty of bacon on it which is obviously a huge plus but it looks like it would be a real process to try and eat.
It would make a great Superbowl menu item or barbecue occasion, but you'd have to be suicidal to make one of these things part of your weekly menu. It seems nowadays more and more people try to invent interesting ways to kill themselves via food.
On the topic of hotdogs and being disgusting, I picked up a package of kosher hot dogs the other day (Baldwin Street Kosher if anyone's in the area) and they were actually pretty damned good. A little bit too salty, but they actually had texture and flavour to them rather than being a finely blended puree of beef parts. If anyone was interested.
This is an easy problem to solve: just substitute brats or some real sausage for the hotdogs and create Great Bacon Tortoise-burgers. Mission accomplished.
Well it is great to know poor Jews can have a disgusting snack too. But a hot dog is still a hot dog. ewwwwwwwwwww
oh, pardon me, I meant to say kosher frankfurters. The frankfurter is a noble variety of sausage which has been terminally corrupted by the existence of the beef byproduct milkshake commonly referred to as a hot dog.
Along with Man v Food and Diners Drive-ins and Dives it is photos like this that make me miss living in the States.
For a hot dog to legally be considered a beef hot dog, it only has to be 51% beef. To be a Kosher hot dog it has to be 100% beef.
Looked at this guide herehttp://klg2a.blogspot.com/2010/02/super-bowl-bacon-cheese-turtleburger.html 1. There is cheese in it. Apparently you install the cheese on the burger patty prior to the bacon weave. (If I had a nickel for every time I've said that . . . amirite?) 2. The guide also indicates they should be "wrapped in a bacon weave before the Hebrew Nationals are inserted as the heads, legs and tails." How do you get the wieners in after it's wrapped? (Again, if I had a nickel . . .) 3. This creation is allowed on the Atkins Diet. Like, you could eat it all the time. Just sayin. 4. Has anybody tried this yet?* It seems the legs, tail and head would get too done before the bacon does. *And, if so, how much would you charge to come to my house and cook it for me. Today.
So then what is the other 49%? Horse cock? Dog testicles? Butcher's thumbs? Hey, that's a good question: What DO they do with horse/bull/sheep/goat/hog penises? I mean, those things are pretty big, so there would be a lot of meat on them, and it would be a waste to just throw them out. Does anyone know?
