They are suitably called Train Wreck Fries.

I used to this place every week. These fries are so good! They are served on a hot cast iron skillet, covered in real fresh bacon, real cheese, ranch dressing, green onions and pickled jalapenos!

I'd have them with cold draft Magic Hat #9 and some Memphis pork ribs and BBQ sauce or delicious grilled wings with blue cheese dip... This place is only a mile away from my office.

I know mentally that if I go once a month is ok, but I think it will undo a week of meeting my calorie goal. No clue how many calories are in this. Sigh. I want some.

    You might consider trying intermittent feasting (or intermittent fasting). That way you can enjoy these types of meals more than just once per month. I find it's easy to restrict calories all day at work if I know I'll have something like that waiting for me at the end of the day.

    How does that intermittent thing work? It is more than 2,000 calories no matter how you spin it.

    Oh yeah? Want some more of this?

    There's tons of posts and websites on it. I find intermittent feasting to be a lot more enjoyable than actually doing intermittent fasting but to each their own.

    If it's over 2000 calories then you probably won't have enough calories saved up though, so you might have to just split it with a friend! Can you even finish the whole thing?

    I could finish the fries. They are gigantic but they are soo good! DH and I just get their wings and fries and share and we are full to bursting after finishing them. And these are the 2 APPETIZERS! I shutter to think how many calories, few K at least. But servers can sometimes make you feel like "really, you are having to appetizers, only"? You are expected to get an appetizer each, an entree each, and a dessert each. And appetizer alone is probably your entire daily allowance of calories. This is one crazy food culture.
