Before heading out on a week’s vacation, I had to point out the awesomeness of “The Munchie Box,” picked up by my friend Andrew at Buffalo Buffet. The “standard” size costs about 5 British pounds, comes in a 10-inch pizza box, and includes doner kebab meat, nan bread, chicken tikka, pakora, onion rings, fries, some kind of slaw-type salad, and two kinds of sauce.
I mean, seriously. We in Buffalo have Jim’s SteakOut, Mighty Taco, and roughly 6,387 bars open until at least 2 a.m. serving beef, wings, and all kinds of so-terrible-it’s-fantastic food–not to mention Nick Tahou’s just a short hop away. But it seems a challenge has been issued, one involving whose populace can find the grease-soaked bottom of the culinary barrel first. Let’s get to work on this when I return, shall we?

I once found a menu for a pizza place in Buffalo where you could order a BUCKET of fries. Unfortunately upon calling, my roommate and I found out they were not in business anymore. Luckily, we lived above Amy’s Place and went down and asked them if we could order a bucket of fries. They didn’t have any buckets to serve them to use in, but we certainly got a LOT of french fries.
@Derek: That’s kind of awesome. When Falafel Bar opens up on Allen, I may ask if I can get a bucket of falafel, just to say I did it.
oh man, i’m counting the days until Falafel Bar opens on Allen, it’s a >5min walk from my apt.
This reminds me of when I studied in Glasgow - we had a place up the street that served doner kabob, pakora, and all sorts of other fried delights. This too was served in a 12″ box, and the grease would seep through before you could get it home.
The best way to finish it off was with a deep-fried Mars bar.
