You knew this was coming. Not one to be outdone by anyone at anything, let alone something as intrinsically close to the heart (and arteries) as ungodly gastronomic creations, the good old USA has not sat idly by as unlikely contenders like South Korea or the Philippines have laid claim to having the most horrible looking thing in the world that you want to eat ten of right now.
Pizza franchise Little Caesars has unveiled this monstrous concoction which they are referring to with the name Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza which sounds like something NBC writers would come up with when trying to come up with ridiculous names for products at Paunch Burger.
The pizza is in itself cooked on a very deep pan base, and topped with pepperoni, bacon bits and oh lord just so much cheese. But the real kicker comes when you realise that they completely wrap the outside of the damned thing in three-and-a-half feet of bacon.
The concept apparently came from a member of Little Caesars’ R&D department, who was out dining at somewhere that serves actual food, and ate a bacon-wrapped filet. That was apparently your “Harvey Dent gets a face full of acid” moment, and sent the now Evil Genius on a demonic WRAP-EVERYTHING-IN-BACON rampage, eventually infecting their place of work.
Be warned, though. At US$12, it’s Little Caesars’ most expensive menu item.
Twelve whole dollars.
Yep.
We’re all going to die premature – but very delicious – deaths.
