PrintParticipation in This Promotion May Be Hazardous To Your Health
Burger with a cup of peanut butter and mayo. We gagged, too. [Photo: This Is Why You're Fat]
No, this is why you're fat. Hopping on board the food truck frenzy, This Is Why You're Fat is holding a promotion on October 29th, in advance of its book release. Six New York food trucks (Van Leeuwen, Cupcake Stop, the Bistro Truck, Wafels & Dinges, Cravings Truck, and Treats Truck) will each have This Is Why You're Fat style-specials. Their locations will be tweeted (@TIWYF) by 11 a.m., and the first person to send in photo evidence of eating all six will win the grand prize: a 25-person food truck-catered party. No word yet on the specials... but good luck one-upping the Schnitzel Burger, they've got a challenge ahead. We're betting on bacon.

The photo itself is very gag-making, non? The peanut butter looks slightly grey. As a child I loved peanut butter with balogna, and I still think it's a respectable combination. This is something else all together. Incomprehensible.

This is the most un-appetizing thing I have seen recently on SE.
You couldn't pay me to eat that, much less X6!

@lemonfair -- you should look at the rest of their website...

Im not sure if this is supposed to be a burger or what happened after someone lanced a boil with a side of fries.

I love that burger like a fat boy loves cake.

What a disgustingly stupid idea.

Are all blogs turning into books?

As bad as this picture looks, I remember fondly a burger with PB served at the Triple XXX Family Restaurant adjacent Purdue University called the Duane Purvis All-American described on their menu like this: "1/4 lb. of 100% ground sirloin served on a toasted sesame bun with melted cheese on top with lettuce, tomato, pickle, Spanish onion and French fries. Add thick creamy peanut butter on the lower deck and you're in for the touchdown!"
I had to wonder about that description but being young and adventurous, I could not let my college years pass without trying it. Surprisingly good because you have all the regular tastes of a good diner burger combined with a hint of sweet and nutty flavors from the peanut butter. I cannot say that it became a favorite but I can say that a bit of PB was a good way to improve the burgers they served in the dorm. Not a ringing endorsement, I know, but you do what you have to do.

I went to the website and laughed so hard I cried, lol. Although, I have to say, I wouldn't mind trying the BBQ pork and mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich. And I love saying "The Cookie Cake Pie" out loud, though I think I'd die if I actually ate it. Still, gotta love the creativity there :)
