The 30,000 Calorie Sandwich
This is something you won't find at your local fast food joint. A student creates a sandwich (costing $47) that totals almost 30,000 calories (via Kottke)
Here is the breakdown. I wonder if all that Canola oil got soaked up in the cooking process?

This "student" needs to spend more time with studies & get some kinda LIFE! This person has ENTIRELY TOOOOO much time on his/her hands!
ReplyWhy is it that just because someone comes up with an idea that a mind like yours was too feeble to come up with on own, or that is just plain crazy/pointless, it's an indicator of "too much" free time? Ever heard of coming up with crazy ideas like this in class when you're bored to tears because the professor has to define culture for a solid month to a bunch of idiots like you because they actually studied, since they are not preoccupied with "having a life" over studying--something they are PAYING AN INSTITUTION THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR TO MAKE THEM DO!
ReplyI think it's great what you guys are doing with the beast skills, and it's nice that you're having fun with the 30,000 calorie sandwich and all. Have you considered any of the new cooking equipment like the Nuwave oven? You get the protein and not the grease(that goes for the rest of you reading this blog as well) or a Vitamix Juicer? You probably need more vitamins and minerals than sedentary types.
The only other place I saw exercises like yours was for people in the military and hobbyists. I can't find it again without the proper keywords. Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.
ReplySincerely yours,

Ugh, that is SO gross!! It doesn't even sound like it would even taste good. Who eats corn dogs, pastrami, and onion rings all at the same time? And covered in feta cheese, no less? This kind of sandwich would be just the thing if you weren't going to eat for 2 weeks, but the kind of person that WOULD eat it would have probably just consumed several beers and/or did it on a bet.
ReplyI agree with the both of you. Too much time and yuck it would taste gross! I wander if it cost him $30 to make it? Should of spent the money on a subway instead! Peace all! T
ReplyJust looking at the picture makes me feel ill.
ReplyFlat out eeeeeew.
This would not be entering my mouth hole.
ReplyWould you like fries with that?
Surprisingly, there is no mayo!
ReplyMmm it makes me hungry! but i would like it with two spoons of mayo for other extra 700 cals, of course i will enjoy it with a can of Diet Coke i don't want to be a fat boy.
Reply(sounds funny? think on it when you see people on Mcdonald's ask for a double quarter pounder meal with a Diet Coke)
It would be interesting though to eat it, and then watch those `love handles` (as we say in the UK), miraculously appear!
Replyare you sh*tting me? diet coke joke? just to let you know it's the year 2005.
ReplyMmm, it looks tasty if you haven't eaten for 2 weeks, but even then I'll think twice before eating it. And speaking of eating, do you know who was the "lucky guy" who ate that sandwich after all?
ReplyYou could cut the calorie content by more than half just by not using the canola oil. Who puts 154 Tbsp of canola oil on a sandwich anyway?
Replyummmmm. looks like moms home cookin
ReplyHeh. This is what bored college kids do.
ReplyI think it's funny, don't take it so seriously!
How in the world can there be almost 10 cups of Canola Oil on this sandwich?? Sounds impossible to me.
Replybear, I don't think the ingredients can hold 10 cups of oil either. 3 cups, ok. 10 cups? That is like half a jar. Most of it would have spilled out.
ReplyIts a miracle of food engineering.
Replyshould use this sandwich in an eating competition...
ReplyMMM, had that for lunch yesterday....excuse me, I'm late to my Sports Illustrated Photo Shoot!
Replythe conola oil was not directly put onto the sandwich... that is what he choose to fry everything in... thats why he used 10 cups... it didnt go directly onto the sandwich!!! ;-)
ReplyDamn...... Thats a good looking sandwich.... (I wanna make one....)
Replyheart attack on a plate anyone?
Replyyes?
good.
coming right up.
Kamikaze, but when you deep fry stuff in 10 cups of all, not all 10 cups are absorbed. He is overestimating the calories.
Replynot only is he overestimating the calories, by a lot, but if he really did use that much canola oil - and he claims that he fried the food in it, well, that means he has to subtract those cals from the other foods. Like - the mushrooms...he's already accounted for the oil in his cal estimates. he can't double count them at the end in his canola oil total. not to mention he's overestimated the cheese cals too. and oregano. and a whole bunch of other stuff.
the guy is an idiot.
Replydood did you eat that yet.. and how many days did it take. fat ass
Replyi wonder if anyone actually ate it in the end...
ReplySteph, the guy who made it ate it. That was the whole point of this silly stunt.
Replybacon and cheese? well hes free to eat it , but if that was where I live he'd get a punch in his face , hard.
p.s
stupid angry dieters on this site ,
low fat + Atkins and all thoose marathons must have shrunk your brains due to lack of cholesterol to rebuild brain tissue.
and no I'm not a fat mofo I'm someone who deadlifts :)
ReplyLeo, I'm pretty sure anyone on Atkins is getting plenty of cholesterol, with all the eggs, cream, steak, bacon, etc.
ReplySome of you commentors are so self-righteous. Go to the damn site. It's some skinny kid doing it for laughs. Why does everyone assume he's some stuipid, fat-ass? He said he ate it, and that it was "freakin awesome." So basically, I think you should all stop taking crap so seriously (especially on the internets), and then die in a fire.
Replythis is stupid. anyone can throw a bunch of high calorie, fat foods between two pieces of bread and call it a sandwich. i could take my feces and put it between two pieces of bread and charge $47 for it. would someone write an article about it?
ReplyDiet Coke indirectly makes more fatty cells with its ingredients...
The more you know!
ReplyThats nothing.
ReplyOnce me and my friend where having an eating comp and i downed 2 litres of canola oil.
Took me about 5 minutes but i done it.
By the way im not fat(i weight 350 pounds all muscle=)
And i deadlift(one rep max is 50 pounds)
Best.
Sandwich.
Ever.
And he spent 47 on it. And ate the entire thing. This man is a god among humans.
Replyi hope he didnt have a heartattack, but he did cuz he ate the whole damn thing.
ReplyI don't really know WHAT to say. It's funny, but oh sweet jesus he ate it ALL by himself. I would've probably shared it with my friends and only would have eaten about 500 calories worth of that heart attack on a bun. But sheesh, I'd have to bring a lot of friends. I wonder what inspired him to make such a random thing? I doubt he just woke up and decided to make the most fattening thing known to man. Probably just a dare.
ReplyIf anyone ate that, they would drop dead!
Replywait. oregano is NOT that calorie-dense. 4.5 grams of oregano has 14 calories, so 50 grams of it would have 155.56 calories. NOT 438 calories.
so some of these numbers may be inflated. not that it makes this thing any less horrific.
ReplyYou mean like with Elvis vs. the Fool's Gold (42,000 calories)?

It was actually the trans fat that killed him. The trans fat found in one jar's worth of cheap peanut butter.
Legend has it, that just prior to his death, Elivs would pack away two of these heart-stopping sandwiches each day.
ReplyUgh, Kailash, I just looked at that link and that sandwich looks absolutely disgusting. How could anyone EAT that?? PB and jelly and bacon???? Nasty. If I was going to give myself a heart attack, I'd do it with something like pasta carbonara or fettucine alfredo...you know, something that actually tastes halfway decent.
ReplyThat looks delicious.
Reply...
Devil's sandwich.
