All the talk of fried food on a stick yesterday reminded me of this:
To me, the best part of this is the fact that the pancake is of the chocolate chip variety. As if the good folks at Jimmy Dean though, “How can we make this even more enchanting? The pancake wrapped around sausage on a stick is not enough!”
Give me a pitcher of Miller Light and I would totally eat this. Please tell me someone out there has.

I can tell you that I have lusted after this product, but have never eaten it. Frankly I’m afraid to buy a package of them, eat one, feel really great for about an hour, and then become so disgusted with myself that I’ll never eat another one after that. And then what will I do with the rest of them?
Don’t answer that.
I am telling you: you buy it, eat one and hate yourself, keep the box, heat them up when drunk. Much like cheating in a different area code doesn’t count, nor do drunk calories.

Looks like the breakfasts I had growing up. Next you will put up biscuits and gravy.
Drunken hunger is what keeps Waffle House in business. Wrap a Belgian waffle around a fried egg and a sausage link…drunken nirvana!!
I have never been to a Waffle House. That sounds delicious, though. I am scared of getting in a fight with Kid Rock there, though.

OMG–you have NEVER been to a Waffle House?!?! Reason number 378 why you MUST come visit me in Atlanta. We could do some serious damage there.
Tis true…I would not lie. And I think it is reason 986. Just saying…

I keep promising myself I’ll buy these if I can get them on sale. I never see them on sale. I regard this as a testament to how awesome they must be.
Ben and Jerry’s goes on sale! Could this be better than Ben and Jerry’s?

“How can we make this even more enchanting”? Havent’ you ever seen those pancackes with the syrup already in them? You bite into the item and the syrup squirts out. Um, that doesn’t sound so good but you get the point! And that is how you make them more enchanting!
What the…syrup squirts out? That sounds like it could burn my precious flesh.

You’ve never been to Waffle House? But there’s one just down the road in Woodbridge! You could do a little outlet shopping, then get a steak and egg breakfast.
Woodbridge?! That may as well be Kentucky. I don’t have a car (or drive) so I don’t think I could convince my friends to drive me to a Waffle House. Then again, Irish, are you out there…

Woodbridge IS Kentucky. Trust me, I grew up there.
Now I know Irish won’t drive me there…the lift to the airport this weekend is more than enough.

You know, they probably took hundreds of photos or had dozens of artist’s renderings of this product, and the one on the box is the one they chose. There are at least a half dozen disgusting comparisons I could make, but I’ll spare the readership (and maybe my comment won’t get removed). If this is the best image they could get of one of these things, I hesitate to think about what it might look like in real life.
Yeah, I also hesitate to think of what it would do to my insides.

If there’s an outlet mall and waffles involved, I’ll drive almost everywhere. Waspy Wasperson and I have contemplated driving 150 miles to a Sonic when we see the commercials on TV. WHY DO THEY TEMPT US WITH THEIR DELICIOUS FOOD IN A MEDIA MARKET WHERE THEY HAVE NO FRANCHISES?!?!
This is why we are such good friends. I found a “recipe” for the Sonic Extreme Tots the other day…I seriously considered inviting you and Waspy over for dinner and serving them.

Does it come with a streusel-swirl frosting packet?
Oh, you are trying to be funny, but that actually sounds freaking delicious to me.

I cannot…absolutely cannot believe you have never been to a waffle house.
This is an outrage. Road trip we MUST take.
Honey, you don’t know what you’re missing till you’ve spent the hours of 2 – 7 am with unlimited coffee, waffles, 4 friends, and a waitress named Candie.
Wow, we really do need a road trip. What else is at Waffle House? Is there chicken? The South is a foreign land to me.

The Woodbridge Waffle House doesn’t have chicken, but I can absolutely guarantee if you go, you’ll run into somebody I went out with in high school. (They’re all still in the ‘Bridge.)
To Woodbridge!

Dude, you should liveblog Woodbridge.
2:06 am: Arrive at Waffle House
2:08 am: Seated in booth
2:15 am: Coffee, egg sandwiches arrive
2:33 am: Propositioned by Shannon’s prom date
2:42 am: Shannon’s prom date shows off his Camaro with T-tops, with only 58 payments left
If your prom date has tattoos and will hold me at an emotional distance, I would probably go for it. That’s how I roll.

If the Woodbridge Waffle House does not have chicken, it is not a true Waffle House. How can you have chicken ‘n eggs (I went through a phase where that was all I would order at the WaHo) without chicken? Blasphemy.
Chicken and eggs? You people are weird.

Why is it that these “ten foods in one” items are only popular with people who have tons of free time? No slight to them, I have free time too. But you’d think they were marketed toward Type-A businessmen who work 15 hour days — no time to make pancakes and sausage, and no time to use utensils either!
Same with the peanut butter & jelly that come in a single jar.
Nothing illustrates the doomed nature of modern culture more than time-saving food for the lazy.
I agree. It’s like those bake and break cookies…they taste pretty good, but it makes me sad that there may be a generation of kids who don’t make cookies with their mom in a rainy day.

maybe they could put some liquidy, cheese-like substance inside the hot dog?
You say this like it is a bad thing…
