On Food in Food

Earlier today I tweeted about a delicious stuffed treat: a chocolate chip cookie with an Oreo cookie inside it. Here's a delicious picture on the left.
Grown Ass Men love food in food.
Back home in Chicago, my grown ass group of friends adapted a popular french cooking technique, called wrapping, and applied it to grilled or fried meats served sandwich-style. Aptly named MeatWraps, these bun-burdening belly bombs range anywhere from 1 to 5 pounds each, usually incorporating sausages and ground meats according to a particular theme.

Past MeatWrap Success Stories:

  • Wisconsin MeatWrap - Beer Brat wrapped in Butterburger, topped with Cheddar Dill Curds, Spicy Ketchup, Pickle Slices on a warm Kaiser Roll.
  • Italian MeatWrap - Italian Sausage pan fried in Chili Oil, wrapped in strips of Meatball meat, smothered in Red Sauce, served on a Toasted Garlic-Cheese roll and topped with Cold Spaghetti tossed with Hot Giardiniera.
  • SuperBowl MeatWrap (named in honor of its debut) - Bacon Sausage, double wrapped with strips of Blue Cheese Burger meat, Fried, and served on a Garlic Bun slathered with Giardiniera Mayo.
MeatWrap ToDo List:

  • Greek MeatWrap - Lamb Kebob, Wrapped in strips of Gyro meat, topped with onion, tomato, and Kalamata olive relish, served on a warm pita slathered with Tzatziki sauce.
  • Grown Ass Corn Dog - Corn Dog with Bacon around the dog and then dipped in the batter.
Now that I've ruined whatever you were planning on eating for dinner... Please leave your comments below with ideas to add to the ToDo list!

Quick Shout-out to YouTube - EpicMealTime's Channel for whole-heartedly smelling what Grown Ass Men everywhere are stepping in. Bravo!

I've had a hot-dog wrapped in bacon and deep fried and since then have wanted the same thing battered on a stick. I cannot wait for the Grown Ass Corn Dog.
