It’s Texas toast on the bottom and fries cover the whole plate with meat underneath. Then cheese sauce is poured over everything. All I know is that it’s a BIG deal in Springfield and a mandatory meal for visitors. There are also long-standing arguments about who invented it, the original cheese sauce recipe, etc. I say any excuse to eat cheese-laden fries is ok with me! I’d even try poutine if I trusted the Canadian who made it.

They originated in Springfield, IL (as I did and also Abe Lincoln). Anyway, you take a big slice of Texas toast, top it with meat (used to just be a hamburger patty, but these days you can get any meat — buffalo chicken breast is popular). Layer the meat with french fries until the whole plate is covered. Then pour cheese sauce over the entire concoction and sell it for seven bucks! Yummy way to clog your arteries. But gravy? Really? Huh. Not so sure. And yes, Patron can kill you (or at least make you puke in your friend’s kitchen sink and come home wearing someone else’s clothes. Or so I’ve *heard*). Have fun and send pix from the fair. IL’s was a few weeks back and it was H-O-T!

You can drink it until you pass out and wake up fresh and ready to start again. Therefore, your hangover must’ve been from cheap limes and/or old salt, or (and more likely) from mixing it with that nasty greasy poontang. That’s some crazy sh!t right there. ;o)
