17. Francheezies when I'm feeling decadent

But I do love me a good Monte Crisco too.

Description from: http://www.chicagofoodies.com/2005/09/francheezie_cam.html

There are some mythical menu items that people are either too shocked to understand or disgusted, yet intrigued. The Francheezie is one such item.

If we ever start banning food for health reasons the Francheezie will be the first to go. It’s a hot dog stuffed with cheeze and wrapped in bacon… As far as I can tell it’s only found in and around Chicago, yet is considered a mockery of the hot dog.

A good francheezie needs time to cool down. It’s been fried and its pretty darn hot. You can tell because the velveeta is molten to the point of water in it’s fluidity. Needless to say the first bite is thoroghly revolting. But it grows on you. A gripe is that you generally are served fries no matter what and in my opinion it’s a necessity. You need something fried yet not unimaginably bad for you to return to earth.

You take a francheezie bite, chew and enjoy the melange of cheesy-richness, bacony-fatness and hot doggety-mystery that when combined is completely overwhelming. A quick french fry in ketchup helps bridge the chasm back to normal fried foods… and that was one
bite.
