Phó
This post will be talking about a famous food from the Vietnamese culture, phó. Phó originally came from Vietnam. They usually eat this during a cold or rainy day. Phó has a variety of selections. From thin slices of rare beef, chicken, and many more. But my favorite one is is phó tai which is the phó with thin slices of rare beef. What is in phó is usually chicken broth, rice noodles, sometimes ginger, and spices. Usually when you are eating phó you usually want these to eat with it. And if you want a bit more of a taste to it, you would put fat into the soup. This picture is phó ga, which is chicken. And it was home made. Those green sticks are green onion, and usually in phó restaurants they have that in a bowl of fat to put in your phó.
There is a phó restaurant that hosts a challenge for a bowl of phó. But this challenge consists of 2 pounds of meat and two pounds of noodles within an hour. It combines 3 (xe lua) which in actual translation means "train". In Vietnamese it's the biggest bowl size you can get when you are eating phó. You get to keep the actual bowl, it's free, and you get a t-shirt if you complete in that time frame! But if you don't finish, you must pay 22 dollars for it. This is the only challenge I know of that is close by to us that has food from my culture. If you would like to see more of this Phó Garden Challenge click here. I hope you learned a bit of how to eat pho and a bit of my culture. *I do not own this picture to the right* It is from the site that says "click here" which is from phogardensf.com

The Ultimate Destroyer - Kansas City
Pictures are found here *I DO NOT OWN THESE PICTURES*
Here in Kansas City is one of the biggest sandwiches that are made and sold in Kansas City, "The Ultimate Destroyer". They only make this type of creation at Papa Bob's Bar-B-Que's. This whopping sandwich contains 7 hickory-smoked meats (a half pound of hickory smoked pork, a half pound of hickory smoked ham, turkey, then comes the beef, a half pound of tender smoked brisket, and a half pound of hickory smoked sausages) stuffed in between 4 slices of bread, and along with some homemade barbecue sauce. The challenge is that you have to eat this in 45 minutes, no breaks or anything. Also, you must finish the side that is given to you, french fries in this case. But there are more than just the Ultimate destroyer. Papa Bob's BBQ sell a variety of BBQ food. Other foods they have on their mouth-watering menu are chicken fingers, grilled chicken, ribs, burgers, and delicious sides that can fill you up without even eating a full meal!
The man that is in this picture is a host for a food show called "Man V Food". His name is Adam Richman. His job is to seek out all the food in the country or the world and to try them and to complete challenges. He also tells he the reviews of each state he travels too. Usually before he eats such as the Ultimate Destroyer, he prepares days before, by fasting a bit. Hope you like it.

Introduction
My blog is about food. Not just fast food, exotic foods. I thought of "DrunkWithFood" because when you eat a lot of good food, your mouth actually begins to water (or mine does at least). On my blog I will show you pictures of food. I will also show where it came from and what is in it, the history of it and if I can, I will show you how to make it. This blog is just to spread the love of food and actually think about the amazing combinations you can do with any food. Sometimes, when I find something interesting on TV that I see, I will try and find it and give you a link to see the delicious food. As I know everyone has to eat. But this is different. They get to examine the food and crave for it. These foods can be from the United States to anywhere else in the world. Hope you get hungry reading and looking at these food you can't eat! (:
