The hot dog pizza and 8 other Frankenstein fast foods: A slideshow
Hot dog or pizza? Why not both? These gut-busting creations are ideal for the indecisive junk-food addict.If you loathe choosing between a pepperoni pizza and a foot-long hot dog, Pizza Hut UK has your number. One-upping America's cheese-stuffed crust, the British chain is cramming a juicy hot dog into the edges of a pie. The only thing more disgusting, says Mat Honan at Gizmodo, is that we Americans didn't invent this monstrosity first. Fear not. Here are 8 other fast-food combos that may put us back on the fat map. In 2010, KFC introduced the world to a new low in stunt food with the "Double Down," a fried-chicken-meets-sandwich mutation. Bacon, American cheese, and a dollop of special mayonnaise-like sauce are layered between two slabs of deep fried chicken in lieu of actual bread. The sandwich is "so meaty, there's no room for a bun," says KFC.It's hard to pinpoint exactly which element puts the Krispy Kreme burger over the top and maybe that's the point. This dinner-dessert combo uses two glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut in lieu of buns to grip a hunk of hamburger, cheese, and all the trimmings. If you can't get to a state fair for this treat, Paula Deen has, naturally, come up with her own recipe, dubbed the "Lady's Lunch Burger." |

Save the children of Tohoku 2012
While in Naples we are waiting for the wind looking at the sea for the America's Cup Boat to sail, in another part of the world, opposite to Naples there are people and children that lost everything, also their identity because of that same sea.One year later, for not forgetting the 2011 Tsunami that destroyed the north of Japan, our Japanese delegation with Akyo Nishikawa e Yoichi Watanabe brought again the hope of a better future to that people offering the authentic neapolitan pizza in that place. A big thanks to Takehiko Chiba that belongs to the pizzeria 'Padrino del Sozan' in Sendai, city semidestroyed for the Tsunami too. This is our mission, Ethic and philosophy. Congratulation and well Done! |
