76g fat
1480 calories
111 carbs

That's WITHOUT the cookie dough and malt powder that my lovely wife asked them to add on my behalf.

Now, I'm not trying to be Diet Nerd here, but honestly this has just moved from once-a-month to once-a-year (ok ok, once-a-quarter) on my "to eat" list.

With cookie dough add 180 calories 7 grams of fat and 26 more carbs bringing the Trans fat count up to 5 grams...at this point the malt powder would be negligible... They do have some light cake batter ice cream that you could have M. Kelley, or some sorbet in the small for wouldn't be that bad for you!

1st - Big Daddy's (inside the Acme on State) diced pepperoni rocks!
2nd - Oley's (Lake & Coliseum) mmm the double crust

Oley's is a fine choice - I've never tried Big Daddy's. For my money, you can't top Downtown Pizza (Berry & Fulton). The crust is fantastic, just a little chewy and moist, but it still holds up under the toppings. And the toppings, my god the toppings, they throw on more toppings and cheese than I know how to shake a stick at - and I'll shake my stick at just about anything. Truly a hidden gem in the middle of downtown. Everytime I mention it I'm amazed that so few people have ever tried it.

I'm going to add one... The Lamb steaks at Biaggi's are fantastic! Pricey, but fantastic. Medium rare is the only way to go. Best stuffed mushrooms in town too.

In retrospect, it seems my concerns were VERY well founded.

Yeah! Next time ask for the secret hot sause they keep under the bar. That only adds to the deliciousness!

A medium rare lamb steak sounds awesome about now. I've never had one, but I love lamb so I'm sure I'd be all about it.

Let's see....good food:

-Gyro w/feta from King Gyro's on Goshen or North Anthony
-Duck Curry from Baan Thai
-Tikka Massala, or anything from Taste of India

There's other junk, but I can't think of it. I really love the vibe I get off of all these places though. They really care that you're there, and they appreciate your business.

Creamy Cajun Chicken Unwrap @ Mad Anthony

my favorite order when I'm there. I get mine without broccoli.

I had Coney Island my first day living in the Fort. A friend told me I was required. Definitely enjoyed it. We've actually got a King Gyros in my old hometown of Marion, so I'm intimately acquainted there as well.

As for trying all three in one day ... I had to buy a plunger Friday night (sad but honest) I don't know if my toilet could handle the Trifecta. I'd probably have to move after that.
