The Michael Phelps diet?

Not quite, but definitely filled the calorie intake! Last night, 6 of us went to Joe's Gizzard City, including Runs with Spatula, CFreaky, Alex, Sheryl, and Angela F. I'm writing this as I eat my Friday breakfast burrito from Jalapeno's. I'm still in awe that I can eat anything this AM...

And so, our trip to Potterville, MI began.

Random bird cage with chicken....

We ordered mass quantities of beer battered, deep fried food.

Pub Pickles - had a little kick to them, and it was cool to have pickles that weren't the chip size...

The Blue Cheese/Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks - these were sooooo good:

The Gizzard Sampler Platter - with original, garlic and herb, and cajun gizzards. There were not super chewy at all, like most gizzards I've had, and the cocktail sauce was a great dipping sauce.

We also got the Veggie Sampler Platter - I didn't get a picture of it. But, it has fried asparagus, fried green beans, fried onion peels, and sweet corn nuggets (which were AWESOME).

This is the Fried Dessert Platter - including fried cheesecake, fried donuts, fried apple cake, fried Oreos, fried Nutter Butters (with grape jelly for dipping!), and fried Cookie Dough...mmmm. Served with chocolate sauce...

I would highly recommend Joe's - it was on the Food Network, featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. All in all, I'm not feeling awful today, but not feeling too great either. This might take a few days to get over...

Recommended only once or twice a year, with full recoup time afterwards...
