| - Fat sandwich is like a storefront given to the "brains" of EpicMealTime or Man v. Food - except everything you buy is a challenge, and they still technically have a challenge.
Imagine a hoagie roll filled with everything that you could purchase at Sam's Club that you can realistically deep fry, add condiments, then top with french fries. Then name the sandwich after something that reminds you of a party school with serious collegiate sports teams, i.e. one sandwich is called the "Fat Tailgate."
I had said "Fat Tailgate" and yes, finished it all - every morsel of cheeseburger, mini corn dogs, ketchup and mustard - yes, while completely conscious at 2 pm. I had a gut trophy afterwards. It was beautiful. I also didn't want to eat for another two days.
If you're particularly bold and want to impress me, I dare you to try their food challenge, the Big Fat Ugly. It's two hoagie rolls filled with 4 cheeseburgers, double cheesesteak, chicken cheesesteak, gyro meat, grilled chicken, bacon, sausage, pork roll, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, something cheese bites, fried mushrooms, jalapeno poppers, pizza bites, onion rings, has browns, American cheese, ketchup and mayo. Apparently if you eat this under 15 minutes, it's free.
As for ambiance, it's typical for a grease spoon except that you can buy t-shirts. I've seen guys come here after intense gym workouts and families after tailgates.
I'm add this to my Central Illinois trumps Chicago list because food like this must be illegal.
