Mashed potatoes? With half a cup of bacon grease and a cup of cheddar cheese? Might as well go for a KFC trailertrash bowl. Bleah.

I'm a huge fan of bacon grease for frying, but in mashed potatoes? No thanks.

There are several in Phoenix. No, I have not been there, for various reasons, but I drive right past one on my way home everyday.

Hey, what's so bad about that? At the very least they are the butt mans version of Hooters.

I can think of one and it doesn't have anything to do with health.

Guess that depends on what you go there for. :-)

Bingo!

No, I have a cross that's blessed by my caridologist. Arteries that have been propped open with stents are not a good combination with lard fried potatoes, or so I'm told. :-)

Why eat fast food if you can't have fries that have been fried in beef fat? Geeze. The food police are everywhere these days!

I'm no food snob or fatphobic, but aside from the occasional fat feast, I've been there and done that--at the appropriate time--when my system, age, and activity level could handle it. And it was gooooood. :)

I don't know how it happened, but I've developed different tastes now. I must have my "you can have my cheese when you can pry it out of my cold, dead, hands" tattoo removed.

It's just a burger joint. Not any more unhealthy than most of them. The fires are unconventional, but a culinary step up, for sure.

I will admit I once had a tripple cheeseburger with pastrami, bacon and a fried egg which I washed down with a couple quarts of Guinness. Oh man was it good. Gluttony is OK, if not done every day.

Keep em simple. At least leave out the bacon fat and use butter instead.

My last batch was roasted garlic and colby cheese.

Me too. Potato skins are better for loading down with lots of crap like bacon, cheddar, green onions and sour cream.

Bacon, cheddar, green onion, and sour cream are not "crap", it's how you use them. 'Course from yer posts here we see that most everything you do food - wise is "crap"...
