I know we discussed guilty pleasure restaurants before, but I want to know about specific food items that have a billion calories and are soooo tasty and somewhat unique and local. I am giving myself one diet "cheat day" a week so I don't want to miss out on any delicious opportunities.[:P]
My vote:
1) Sausage cheese melt at Rons...sausage beef patty covered with pepperjack cheese on two glorious Texas Toast slices grilled in butter until golden and crispy! With fried onions, of course. [|)]
Any others? Descriptions please!
"Hot Hamburger" at Murphy's Steakhouse in Bartlesville.
Open-face patty w/cheese & onions over Texas toast, sumberged in brown gravy along with a pile of French fries.
Instant heart-attack material.

OMG.. My chest hurt just reading that...

I also like the Mexican combo platters where the enchilada chili sauce on top and cheese oozing out out the tortillas meets up with the rice and cheese topped refried beans into a soupy, tasty...mess. And there is no empty space on the plate!
Loaded cheddar fries from the Brook.
Mmmmm, bacon, chives and jalapeños.
Topped with ranch dressing for the artery clog of the year.
Bob Marley Dip from En Fuego... I know that they have been closed for a while, but I was excited when I read in the SPOT how Kampai Lounge is having En Fuego Tuesday's and serving the dip!! I am definitely going to have to check it out!
-- Ike's Chili House cheese fries. (They use waffle fries, BTW.)
-- The Tulsa Driller concrete at Freckles Frozen Custard.
-- Any Chicago-style deep-dish pizza at Savastano's.
-- The Big Okie at Hank's Hamburgers.

Finally, something we agree on...
Also, for those of you from the St. Louis area (Conan, RW, etc...), the macho combination burrito from Naugles/Del Taco is my all time greatest guilty pleasure. Approx. 3 pounds of processed "something" in a tortilla. I still stop in every time I visit.
In St Louis, I stop at white castle.

Come on Grizz, you can buy those at most grocery stores frozen food section. And, yes, that place certainly qualifies.
Thanks guys! I have never been to the Brook, but I'm thinking about trying it this weekend. Full Moon has some good fries too, with cheese, bacon, pico de gallo and ranch. Along with the awesome soup, of course.
Speaking of STL, I adore "Imo's Pizza" and that yummy, gooey "provel" cheese (cheddar, swiss and provolone processed together like Velveeta). I bought a 5 lb loaf of it at Imo's in Springfield so we can make it at home. Compared to Mario's Pizza it's crap, but its DAMN GOOD!!!!!!

While they will do in a pinch, those things don't compare to even a Krystal, much less real White Castle.

-Cheesesteaks from Steak Stuffers USA
-4 coneys with everything from Coney Islander
-Gyros on pita from Jim's Coney Island
-Mario's pizza
-Anything from Knotty Pine

Absolutely not the same. The stores steam theirs and add a pickle. When they had the one in North KC, whenever we were on a gambling run, Whitecastle was required eating. I could always eat a bag of 10 for sure. Loves me some Sliders.
I think I could present examples of just about anything where I order two of something I only need one of ;)
Placing orders while hungry = bad results
Bonus points if you have gone all day without eating.
Have any of you tried a LARGE sandwich at Schlotzskys? The menu lists Small and Medium. Ask for a Large - they have them. At the drivethru, they reply "A large? You want a $12 sandwich?". Just say yes. If you can eat the whole thing, you are a god. Turkey original is my preference. The sandwich is about the circumference of a medium pizza, 3 to 4 inches thick with like a pound of meat on it. It is cut into quarters, each quarter bigger than what would be considered a "normal" sized portion.
Phat Phillie's "Phatter" - best cheesesteak I've had in Tulsa. (I like it better than Steak Stuffers)
Mario's (51st location only - BA sucks)Pepperoni with double cheese pizza. (I heard the owner, Mike, died. Sad if true.)
Taco San Pedro carne asada burrito - makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Decadence en español. Very reasonably priced.
Uncle Vinnie's Pizza in BA - just incredible pizza - all the time. Be careful, he might just throw in a free pizza with your order - or free cheesecake - guy rocks!
Logan's 16 ounce rib-eye steak (medium-rare) with baked sweet potato covered in butter and brown sugar.
Not really all that bad but a burger at Clauds is hard to beat. There's some enchilada dish at Cafe Ole that is one of the best dishes I've eaten in Tulsa.
OH, anything from the chocolate place on Brookside...is that still open. My wife and I would get those chocolate covered espresso beans...VERY tasty.
#9 and #11 at Tin Star...also not really that bad for you.
When I eat out at restaurants in Tulsa, I tend to choose foods I would not normally prepare at home, so I mostly pick healthy at restaurants.
But...one of my big guilty pleasures to prepare at home is a grilled cheese sandwich, Velveeta cheese, and fried in the skillet in bacon grease! And sometimes I will put bacon and tomato in the sandwich. It is the only thing I really love Velveeta for, a grilled cheese sandwich. On the plus side, I will usually use whole wheat bread! I don't do this often, but it sure is good.

Two slices of pepper jack works better for me.
Velveeta + Rotel + Wolf Brand = Okie Horsdouvres.
Weber's half pounder
Gyro from Never On Sunday
Minute Man Pizza
Wings from the Full Moon
Chicken Fried Steak From Goldies
Anything from Merrits is a good guilty pleasure.
Anytime I am in So. Cal. for business, I try to stop at El Pollo Loco if time permits.
Flame grilled chicken is great.
You guys are great. BTW, we took the kids to Ollie's today. OK buffet, some items a little chilly, excellent banana pudding. But the trains blew my 4 year old's mind.[:)]

You're kidding right? One of my vendors took me to lunch there today a little after noon. I was the handsome guy sitting under a train track. Glad I could narrow it down for you. [:P]
When we got there, they were needing to re-load on the chicken and salad lettuce.
Awww, we were there a little closer to 11 but we were there freakin' forever!
Doesn't help when the the 1 year old lets out a cry of indignation when lowered into the high chair, until emergency food is promptly stuffed in her mouth. Those 15 seconds are hell on everyone. [B)]
I left off....
