Squeaky grease sandwiches
The Montreal-based food pornographers who are known as Epic Meal Time strike again, creating obscenely fatty sandwiches that together clock in at 25,036 calories and 920 g of fat. Loaves of bread are stuffed with poutine — the classic, French-Canadian dish of fries, cheese curds and gravy — along with everything from pulled pork meat, chili, sausages, bacon, chicken, ground beef, and cheese sauce.

American BLT
In this episode by runnyrunny999, the Japanese host gives a shout-out to Epic Meal Time and creates the American classic, bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich — but in signature Japanese style. That is, bacon strips aren’t placed haphazardly inside the sandwich, but latticed neatly in a tidy square before frying, a good trick that maximises the bacon quota in each bite.
