  1. Matt,

    “Foke” McDonalds, indeed!

  2. Richard,

    Matt beat me to it. LOL. I need to get to Venezuela apparently.

  3. Ben,

    I’m inspired. Does anyone know what all of the ingredients were? I caught most of them, but my spanish foking sucks.

  4. jim winters,

    ketchup, mayo, mustard, little crispy fries, onions, chicken, sausage, burger, cheese, bread, avacado, salsa, scrambled eggs…etc…i’ve had one…believe it or not its quite tasty…i think in 1990 when i had one it was $2.00! SORRY CHRIS, no bacon…

  5. AeC,

    There’s a Royale with Cheese joke in there somewhere – I just wish the camera’s light sensor didn’t make me feel like I was in the final stages of syphilis.

  6. perro,

    looks terrific! i want to go to venezuela now, and eat on of these with chavez!
    and yes, it has bacon with eggs!

  7. Gestapo Joe,

    Hehehehe… boy, it sure is a good thing we Americans don’t live in Venezuela!! Giant multi-meat everything-but-the-kichen-sink food monstrosities available on every corner!?!?! I mean, hehehe, really, we’d all be great big fat asses!!!! Whooo…..

  8. deepsea33,

    sadly no bacon!

  9. lumpi,

    Isn’t there bacon SOMEWHERE in there?

  10. Seth,

    I actually thought the patty looked small until he started piling more meat and fried eggs on top.

    Foke McDonald’s!

  11. Michelle,

    Hmmm…little crispy fries-oh yea I’m on a diet.

  12. omigod. a sure-fire recipe for gastric distress…

  13. frigg,

    Oh boy…you just killed my interest in the new Top Chef cycle.

    That thing belongs in my mouth.

  14. BROWNCRABS,

    I think Chris’ inner fat boy’s desperate to escape. The mega fatty melt/bacon fatty melt/this? There’s a lot of saturated fat being thrown around lately.

    The burger looked brilliant until they put all the egg on. Then i cried.

  15. Yossarian,

    There is bacon. It’s mixed in with the egg. Tocineta is bacon. This beats the bacon fatty melt for flavor, probably not for artery clogging deliciousness.

  16. t(-_-t),

    it looks good, but how the hell does one consume one of those?

  17. Blank,

    it looks good, but how the hell does one consume one of those?
    That is a mystery altogether, very few people know the secrets XD.

    Jim’s ingredients are more or less right, tho he missed the cabbage, the rump steak and that the eggs had bacon (you can’t miss the bacon).
    Other popular ingredients are yellow cheese, grilled steak, pork chops and alfalfa.
    Others pass the miscellaneous content and fill it with MORE meat, i know a place where you get a layer of meat of about 3 (male) fingers thick.

    The guy didn’t added the custom homemade sausages (which are friggin good), but they where there on the background.

    They’re around 2-6$ in Caracas now tho, price depending on the contents and on how close you are from _the_ university or certain ‘hunger streets’ scattered around the city.

    There is also some variety in said areas too, from cachapas (sorry, no english names for those, google it) to Chinese food. (yes, all in small movable carts).

    Fun fact #1: none of them pays taxes or haves any legal permit to sell there (supposed to be illegal).
    Fun fact #2: authorities don’t care, if they get close to one, they’re probably going to eat.

    Fun fact #3: we have a low obesity rate.

  18. Marvin,

    Mucho gusto

  19. Ariel,

    dear god, if i could have that burger, id give……. a year off my life

  20. Debbe,

    My dog, that’s a real garbage burger! What DIDN’T they put on it??? Other than the kitchen sink, of course, but that’s pretty indigestible.

    Come to think of it, what WAS on it would take me a massive dose of Pepcid to navigate. Oy…

  21. I’ve been catching up on my Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, which was making me salivate enough, now this too? Darn you… Darn you to heck… My arteries cry out for fantastic greasy street food.

  22. Bryce,

    I do not even like hamburgers, but I would eat that in a heartbeat.

  23. Cosmic,

    and you havent seen a mexican hotdog yet…kind of a little of everything on it, just like that hamburguer…I guess Ill have to film the making of one…..

  24. I make something similar, called a Poor Man’s burger. You take two slices of bread, a little jam, then instead of a hamburger patty you use peanutbutter.

  25. Jack,

    I do not even like hamburgers, but I would eat that in a heartbeat.

    Yea, and your last heartbeat too.

    Yum.

  26. Cosmic,

    fuck McDonalds… those guys called it the “devilish hamburguer”

  27. SONIA BEN.,

    EVERYTHING BUT MEET. MOST OF VENEZUELAN ARE VEGAN: VENEVEGAN!
