Apparently, the Akron Aeros are so confident in the attractiveness of the "Nice 2 Meat You" Burger that they didn't think it necessary to hire a food photographer. Am I the only one that thinks the burger is perched atop a bed of caviar? Or maybe black beans? I do, however, really appreciate the jaunty angle of the burger's bowler-hat-style bun. Top of the morning to you, too, Mr. Burger!

There’s also “3 Dog Night”:
"3 Dog Night" is a hot dog stuffed inside a bratwurst stuffed inside a kielbasa, topped with sauerkraut and stadium mustard, on a hoagie roll.
The hot dog equivalent of the turducken.
I might be one small girl, but I would eat the hell out of that.

I don’t know if there’s anything I’ve ever wanted more than that. Might have to make a trip to Akron this summer just for that. Also, might have to not eat for a day before and after eating this.
Also!
I wonder if Adam Richman has gotten wind of either of these delicacies yet?

If he hasn’t, you can bet he probably will. He visits minor league stadiums for the fare quite frequently on the show.

That shot is so poor I cannot promise myself that it’s food. What is that black strand hanging off of the right side?
You didn't get me down, Ray.
That’s the char-grilled top of the burger, no?

This is particularly sad because my cousin-in-law happens to be a professional photographer in the Akron area who has vast experience shooting food.

My brother used to work with a commercial photographer. It’s interesting what they use in shots. One example is that only wine looks like coffee in a pic. So, of course, whenever they had a client that needed a coffee shot you had to know to use wine.

One can hope.

I really hope we have the opportunity to use the “nice 2 meat you” tag in 2011.

A sublime post about an inspired Minor League marketing ploy.
I look forward to the day when the Aeros use this for competitive eating challenges with opponents.

In all seriousness, for people that don’t know this is the “Melt Challenge,” available from Melt here in Cleveland. If you finish this along with fries and slaw you get some free stuff and your name on the wall. It was featured on Man vs. Food.

I’m not picking on you specifically, but why is it that every time one of these crazy food monstrosities comes out, people have to bust out cliched “artery clogging” jokes? Look, no one is eating stuff like this every day. It’s a novelty. Eating one of them won’t kill you, unless you’ve made a habit of eating nothing but greasy burgers for every meal of every day.

If you haven’t made just such a habit, it’s highly unlikely you could get through even half of this without getting sick.

Disagree. I’m pretty positive I could get through this thing, and I certainly don’t make a habit out of eating things like this.

I get the point that the human digestive system is not exactly a bomb calorimeter and you wouldn’t actually be digesting this thing in its entirety. But if it wasn’t food and it wasn’t your digestive system, but instead some other part of your body, would you have the same attitude? “I don’t do it regularly, but today I just want to give my brain enough of a concussion to say I’ve had the experience.” “After 9 months of antibiotics it will be alright, anyway, so I just thought I’d give myself a little TB exposure this one time.”
People do this all the time. Skydiving, bungee jumping, etc. Hell, playing football. The behavior’s certainly not limited to gastrointestinal feats.

What do you have in mind as the negative repercussions of skydiving and bungee jumping? I don’t think people are in pain after doing those activities.
well, not the live ones.

I wish they would do this kinda stuff at Huntington Park. Dime-a-Dog is cool but that’s only so often…

With this comment, the Nice 2 Meat You Burger moves into 5th place on January’s Most-Commented-On-Posting List. Third place is within reach, and 2nd isn’t out of the question. Dare the Nice 2 Meat You Burger dream of a championship?
Does it come with backup meat to sustain the stretch run?

Thanks for the info.
I would guess the deal was structured somewhat like this:
2011 (Arbitration): $5M
2012: (Arbitration): $7M
2013 (Arbitration): $10M
2014 (Free Agent): $11M
2015 (Free Agent): $12M
I’d guess that the Indians would have to top at least $15M in each of the free agent years to get the deal done. And that’s if Choo even wants to sign a long-term deal now.
Cleveland received a proposal from the long-term contracts. 물론 1년 계약하기 전이었죠. Of course, one year ago was to contract. 계약 내용은 5년에 4500만 달러였습니다. The 5 year agreement was $ 45,000,000. 굉장한 액수죠? Aeksujyo amazing? 그러나 전 에이전트 스캇 보라스와 상의 후 정중히 거절했습니다. However, after consultation with former agent Scott Boras has politely declined. 이유는 FA되기 전까지 클리블랜드에 남아 클리블랜드가 어떻게 리빌딩을 하는지 직접 보고 결정하고 싶었기 때문입니다. Why remain in Cleveland until the FA Cleveland, reporting directly to determine how the rebuilding that is wanted. 나이 어리고 재능이 뛰어난 선수들을 어떻게 구성할 건지, 올시즌이 계약 마지막 해인 사이즈모어와의 재계약이 어떻게 되는지, 그래서 팀이 얼마나 더 강해지는지를 확인해야 장기계약이 가능하다고 생각했어요. Age of young talented players know how to configure, this season, with the contract renewal last year, Sizemore is how so much stronger team to make sure that you thought that long-term contracts are available.
I think he’s saying that he wants to see how the rebuild is going before he’s going to commit to a long-term deal.
Choo is a victim of a language barrier, an educational barrier and an unwise willingness to trust an agent with a star reputation. Whatever Choo would be leaving on the table by accepting this offer, assuming it’s guaranteed money, is nothing compared to the added risk he is taking on by hoping for a little more. The whole rebuild explanation is either a smokescreen or a poor understanding of his role in the process.
You didn't get me down, Ray.
The risk actually makes sense to me, considering his life path to this point. I mean, you’re talking about a guy who it seems has routinely gone all in to get to the next level. If he has it in his mind (which is, I think, where Boras comes in) that that giant contract is needed to cement him as a superstar on the biggest stage, then it makes perfect sense that he would hold out for that.
"Spring Training wins are good for the soul."
Language barrier? Maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but Choo speaks English fairly well.
If it works out, he’s set for life in three years. If it doesn’t, then he retires with a couple million in the bank. I’m sure he understands the risks.
To reply to both of you, signing for $4M and passing on an opportunity for $45M is the same as taking a check for $41M to the tote window. I don’t care how much of a sure thing this is, that’s a game best played by billionaires. How much more could he make in those same 5 years that this risk makes any sense? If he does become the best possible version of Choo, there’s life after the 5 years.
You didn't get me down, Ray.
OK, you got me. In horse racing, there’s a totalizator system that determines the odds. The display in the infield that displays odds is usually called a “tote board”, short for totalizator. Instead of calling the place where they take wagers a betting window, I incorrectly called it a tote window.
You didn't get me down, Ray.
I love playing the ponies. But I’d never take $41MM to the betting window.
