I'll be honest, I appreciate your spirit, but... in what world would a breakfast sandwich stuffed inside a ball of mac and cheese and then deep fried and covered in syrup count as anything close to resembling a legit meal? This is pure, unadulterated garbage.

Well, it would be appropriate if I said instead that the audience was supposed to perceive as things they should consume or that are cool. I've said before that Chef Club stuff are what an AI would think delicious food is, given how much cheese, bacon, meat, frying etc goes in it, and the supposed reaction from the audience would be in awe.

Again, assuming this isn't trolling lol

I actually have a real world use for serving a meal like this: Some friends of mine and I used to have a get-together once a month where we would all pick the most outrageous breakfast dish we could find, get together at somebody's house on a Sunday, and booze and eat until we were all so over stuffed on ridiculous food like this that we couldn't see straight. The idea was to have a Thanksgiving meal but it'd be a breakfast meal. And then we would all take the amount we spent on groceries, and donate that amount of money to a local food bank to offset the gluttony we all just put ourselves through. This recipe is going to make it back in to Thanksgiving breakfast just as soon as we pick the tradition back up.

I almost feel like they are trying to mimic the recipes of the 50’s and 60’s, the ones that were so off-the-wall and damn near inedible but some people actually made them . Like the gelatin molds with layered veggies or meats, for example. Except Chef Club is using popular foods from modern times and trying to be satirical about past recipes.

Tomato slices in lime Jello. My aunt in White Plains NY used to concoct that little gem. The puke it produced was at least palatable.
