#34 Twinburger Sub

Look into the face of zen and know the true inner peace that is the Twinburger Sub. 

It's been 54 weeks since I started this blog, and as far as my original intent was to eat all 52 menu items in a calendar year, I have failed. As a white American male I've been taught over and over that when you run into failure, panic, stress, or any other mildly inconvenient emotion or life situation, there is only one way to handle things: eat a lot of food to dull the pain.

One of the menu items I've most anticipated is the Twinburger Sub.  The Tat's menu description reads "Philly Classic... two or three lean patties w/ melted American cheese. LTOM & pickles." Just about every menu item that Tat's has is a variant on something I've eaten somewhere else at some point, except the Twinburger Sub. It's the unholy union of a double cheeseburger and a sub sandwich, and it is beautiful to behold.

Maybe it was that I hadn't gone to Tat's in a while, maybe it was the magical pickles and melty cheese, but eating this was a semi magical experience. I felt like I was in a trance. I am more motivated than ever to go back and finish my E.A.T. experience because all I want is another Twinburger Sub to cram in my pie hole to suppress my feelings of inadequacy and self loathing.
