Sasquatch Tops List as "Best Food Ever"

Last night, May 4th, TLC debuted their six-episode series "Best Food Ever," and kick started things with their ode to Sensational Sandwiches, counting down what they promised are the top 10 sandwiches across the United States. Let's be clear here: by sensational, they don't mean that your taste buds are going to jump right off your tongue. They're invoking the blockbuster movie use of the word -- extreme, massive and potentially heart-threatening. They did highlight a few that were known for their tastiness (and not their quantities of meat), but for the most part, "Best Food Ever"' was more about "Biggest Food Ever."

On the top of the list was a sandwich from a place in Arizona called the Lodge.


1. The Sasquatch at Scottsdale, Arizona's The Lodge. For those who are into clogging things such as arteries and airways, the Sasquatch takes two grilled cheese sandwiches and makes another sandwich out of that, putting a half pound burger, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and onion strings in the middle of the two ends. One hundred and fifty-five grams of fat later, you're surely feeling sensational of some sorts.

..."Bob Saget's Strange Days" will enable viewers to get an insightful understanding of what makes individuals tick in these alternative lifestyles and daring situations. Bob will also uncover the humanity and the shared values inside all of these odd and absurd situations that each of us will be able to relate to."

Looks like filming has begun and one of the episodes will cover Bigfooting. Our good friend Cliff Barackman has the scoop on his blog, North American Bigfoot. We insist you read the whole story on there, but first, allow us to whet your appetite with a teaser paragraph.

In his post, Cliff Barackman shares Bob Saget's interest and reactions to to being on a Bigfoot Expedition.

"Bob accompanied several of us on a night walk on Friday night. He was mesmerized by the night vision technology that we use in our quest for footage, passing the units around to all the crew members even if it meant they needed to temporarily drop their cameras. He was amused by our efforts to call to sasquatches, but highly respectful at the same time. In fact, his attitude throughout was one of respect for us. I expected him to heckle us a lot more than he did."

Fans, you absolutely need to read the rest of this at the link provided below. Cliff provides more stories and more photos at his blog.
