Another Win for America

Evanston, Illinois fast food restaurant Wiener and Still Champion (awesome name!) is already locally famous for their hunky cheeseburgers, fresh-cut french fries, and bacon-wrapped hot dogs. But now theyve added a new menu item that deserves national attention.
For an extra charge of just $1.50, any burger on Wieners menu now comes with a thick patty of deep-fried gravy. The golden-brown crust of the patty adds a big crunch to the burger, and then on first bite, the hot gravy comes oozing out all over everything, ensuring each bite remains juicy and gravy-licious.

I mean, come on...We have Disney World, Hub Cap World, Giant Recreation World, Sea World, Ski World, Fun World, Soccer World, Birthday World, Balloon World, Window World, Paintball World....
It's a damn sin that we don't have Biscuit World.

Have some deep-fried mushrooms, a bowl of deep-fried ice cream and a couple of deep-fried Snickers with that, and you've got the perfect State Fair Heart Attack on a Stick.
