Doin' the Robot in Bangkok and Looking at Nasty (Food) Porn

Categories: From the Gut

Hajime-Robot-Restaurant-1.jpg
Okay, so we've got no Food Porn slideshow this week to go along with the review of Kylie's Chicago Pizza and Wallingford Pizza House. This is partly because I wasn't crazy for the pies at either place, but mostly because pictures of deep-dish pizzas all look essentially the same: a big tub of dough with red sauce on top

But still, I didn't want you guys to have to go into your weekends without something cool to look at, so instead of just one slideshow, I'm offering up twice the goods this afternoon.

First, we've got video from Hajime Robot Restaurant in Bangkok, a shabu shabu joint where (obviously) all the food is served by a dancing robot waiter dressed as a samurai.

This is how service works.

And here's the same robot, dancing like a mechanical idiot while the customers go hungry--in other words, acting exactly like most other waiters out there.

Second, how 'bout some fast food porn? This stuff'll kill ya if you eat enough of it, but there's no harm in looking.

Don't get too excited. I've heard she doesn't swallow.

Every man's dream is not this bouquet of bacon. It's finding a girl who prefers this to the real thing.

The In-n-Out Double-Double: Simply the world's greatest cheeseburger. Anyone who says different is itching for a fight.

Wow... In case you can't tell, that mug full of bacon is filled with melted cheddar cheese.

This is the Hickory Rancher from Lunchbox Laboratory in Ballard. If you can't get to California for that In-n-Out Double-Double, this ought to hold you for awhile.

Breakfast. This is breakfast. Frankly, I think I'd be better off with my Pop-Tart, two pots of coffee and half a pack of cigarettes.

Again, breakast?!?

This is the KFC Double Down--two pieces of cheese and two pieces of bacon smooshed between two pieces of fried chicken. And this is your heart, crying...

And finally, the McGangBang--that would be a McChicken sandwich getting, uh...sandwiched by two halves of a double cheeseburger. My guess? The sex act this is named after would do far less physical and emotional damage than the sandwich itself.
