Food Quest #1: The Flatliner Part 2

BOOM! We just survived death! We have done it, we built our own Flatliner. And it was delicious.

Sure it was touch and go for little while, and Kyle's heart stopped once, but we survied and kicked its butt!

Food Quest #1: The Flatliner part 1

Ladies and gentlemen. We have eaten the sandwich of death and survived!


The above picture is to prove that this was a real menu item, and we didn't make it up. Below is the dastardly sandwich in all its glory.


This is an 8oz burger patty sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches and topped with lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle and a slice of cheese on the burger itself.

It should be noted that the bread was white and the cheese in the grilled cheese was in fact American ... which isn't cheese at all! And I ate it anyway.


And it was not worth it. You can't have grilled cheese without cheese! Which is why we will be making our own! A bigger, better Flatliner. Stay tuned.

The Flatliner

Ladies and Gentleman tomorrow at noon Micah and I will converge on The Diner in Tyler, TX to conquer The Flatliner. An 8 oz burger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. What's a better way to spend your Saturday than trying to eat something that wants to kill you.

On the next The Adventures of M&K...

We will be taking on a sandwich that could kill us.
























Not this guy, but it's pretty close. We're staying close to home on this adventure, since we are only going to the Diner.

We will attempt to eat, The Flatliner. An 8 oz burger situated between two grilled cheese sandwiches! Will we able to eat it? Will it clog our arteries just by looking at it? Does it really cause heart attacks? What king of cheese? All these questions and more on the next The Adventures of M&K!

Pictures

These are some photos from our road trip.

1 ticket and 2 hrs later the dynamically exhausted and never to do this drive again are back in Tyler!

Made it out of the metroplex.

After a great lunch at Chipotle two hours remain till back in Tyler! And 7 till Alias

Just outside of Fort Worth for our last fuel top off of the trip. Number 11.

Boom ticket.

Micah just got pulled over for speeding.

About 4 hours away.

Memphis, TX is stinking load because of the trains.

Sunrise!

Ugh! Well we are back in the urinal of TX, Amarillo smells so bad!

Welcome back to Central time.

Texas! The end is near!

Back in the Lone Star State. Boo 70 mph speed limit!

1: I would never drive on icy roads just for fun.
2: driving after a 5 hour energy is a breeze.
3: thank you all for praying for our safety, we only experienced one close call.
4: CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH ALIAS TONIGHT!!!!!!

I am looking forward to my turn to drive.

Wooh! The traffic is gone. And the answer to Dentagon is: car hail damage removal.

Estimated time of arrival: 12:32 pm.

This traffic is terrible! Way to much panicking and driving uber slow.

And that is officially the worst place we've eaten the whole trip. Don't eat at Blake's Lotta Burgers.

Time for a late dinner at Blake's Lotta Burger. It looks like a fifties diner but with nothing interesting to look at.

In other news, its detour time! Some sort of accident I assume. There is no view from the service road. Also Micah is playing Eminen and singing along.

See ya around Arizona. Don't know when i'll be back this way, thanks for the snow.

Saw an ad for Dentagon on a truck. What do you think that was for? No googling cheaters.

Nothing to see but clear skies and bright stars.

Nothing to see but clear skies and bright stars.

Snowball Assassin

So far the most dangerous part of the trip has been Micah trying to get off the highway to a gas station at fuel top off 8 in Flagstaff, AZ.

Elevation - 7,335 ft. Awesome.

The pine trees are pregnant with snow. Like 9 months so.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I think we might miss most of the bad weather. We are about 40 minutes outside of Flagstaff. But we still have another 1000 feet to climb.

Just passed a sign for the Roadkill Cafe. Micah said 'They guarantee what they serve will be dead.'

It suddenly got much darker. And people are driving much too cautious.

Currently our temperature is 39 degrees with some fog and light snow. But the road is clear for now, which is good.

Bring on the storm clouds!

We meet again the Colorado River.

Fuel top off 7. Gas price $4.09

Apparently I look just like our waitresses husband.

So at lunch and advertised I the Mohave Mimosa "so yummy it will make you giggle! Tickle your tummy with a refreshing blind of champagne and orange juice." or you could say The Mohave Mimosa " Tickle me Elmos won't think of starting his day without one! Why would you?"

Change of plans the Hungry Bear doesn't exist. So Juicy's River Cafe it is.

Normally on Sundays at 3 Micah and I are at Movie club. Check out GSMW under other greatness on the side to get more info about the group as well as the movies we've seen.

5 hour energy grape flavor ... Stings the back of your throat and makes you wish you had something else.

Perfect! Now the air works like its supposed to. Just had to pop that panel off.

Doing surgery on Micah's car.

The desert is much less interesting with no cloud cover.

Fuel top off number 6 in San Dimas, CA. And bonus view of snow covered mountains.

So thanks to a handy tip from EZ we are going to take 4 back as there is a mountain pass on 1 that gets closed during the winter. Thanks for the tip EZ.

Ok, so they have a pancake making machine. You push a button and two pancakes 45 seconds later. They come out with this weird crispy/chewy texture.

I supose its your standard slightly fancy menu. Cereal, bagels, etc.

Good morning everyone. Time to go see what the hotel serves for breakfast.

The hotel shampoo and conditioner smells like cinnamon.

Bonus Video - Soda Run 2011

I apologize in advance. I can get youtube to smoothly load this clip where the audio and video sync together. Best just to listen to it.

Baskin Robbins I playing forever and they just played grenade!! Amazing

Waiting for our video to upload and process. In the meantime, ice cream.

It's possible that i haven't had my shoes off in over 24 hours. Feels nice.

Santa Monica Pier

Technical Difficulties

So we've been sending updates, but they haven't been posting. I apologize for worrying anyone, i promise we weren't slacking. We'll be doing a video update tonight to make up for it.

Through the mountains and over the Colorado river into California we are!!!!

Here comes the sun!

Rainy and still moving!

Still snowing!!

We are improperly dressed for this weather.

500miles to Los Angeles

Okay! It's snowing heavy on us! What the crap!

So it's 39 degrees and apparently flagstaff has a winter storm warning!

So now we approach the very unusual 3-4 window in time. A time that is no longer night and not yet morning, plenty of mystery awaits in this one hour that is fast approaching! Are we there yet?

No wonder we kept seeing snow at times! we are 6,000 stinking feet I'm elevation!

Arizona: population increase 2. Awesome increase...their scale doesn't go that high!

Top off number 4 in Gallup, NM.

The moonlight on the mountains is beautiful!
