Culinary Hatchet - October 2006

Eat, Consume...

Unnatural Terror

Should we thank Junk Food Blog for bringing this outrage to a broad attention?
It's first destination, of course, is the microwave. Then it promises to affix itself directly to your arteries. That name again: Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick.
