Adam Riff just put us on to the latest harrowing cross-pollination of Philadelphia foods (see the Philly Taco and the General Tso's Cheesesteak) — "The South Philly Love Child." That'd be a chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe from Tony Luke's sandwiched between two Lorenzo's slices. It's the genius, fuck-an-artery idea of the dude Matt Brains, who's also responsible for the aforementioned East Eats West innovation.
What is it about this city's foods that makes people want to put them in, around and on top of each other so much?
I lost it over the General Tso’s Cheesesteak. The only thing worse for your body would be if it came with cheese fries.
Ptah:
I take you’ve never tried the Lady’s Brunch Burger?
You know it’s bad enough to eat the two separately, but I would like to meet the kid who created this???? Would it have to be a situation where I’d have to go to him because he’s so obese that he can barely breathe and would need a crane to get out of his house?????
I took a look at the Lady’s Brunch Burger…..I like how it writes “Place burger patties on English muffins or buns, and if desired, on glazed donuts, as the buns. Top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and a fried egg.”
Donuts!?!?!? OMG

I think I’m afraid of the ladies eating that monstrosity. It’s the bane of any diabetic with high cholesterol.
I think it’s time for a CP Calorie Count off. Whoever produces the food, and/or edible combo of foods with the most calories wins.
Would it have to be a situation where I’d have to go to him because he’s so obese that he can barely breathe and would need a crane to get out of his house?????
Marietta-
Reasonable line of questioning, but I’m pretty healthy. I’m running a 10 mile race here in Washington DC in early April.
shit, why didn’t they go all the way and deep-fry this sucker?
