Comes with complimentary cholesterol test

Over at the Wellingtonista, we're trying to find the region's best bacon sarnie. Your contributions would be welcome.

But a comment there reminded me that I really have to tell you folk about two fantastic sandwiches which (I'll check at lunchtime) are still to be had.

One is the "Breakfast sandwich" from one of those gourmet sandwich places in one of those streets running beside Kirks, from Lambton Quay to Featherston street.

It loses points because it is prewrapped, but it consists of: bacon, black pudding, egg & baked beans. It really is quite something.

The other, and by far the best, is the Rib Eye Steak Burger from a place called Sizzlers in the BNZ centre. This place is pretty much a greasy spoon sort of affair, steak & chips, bacon & eggs, burgers & chips, chips, chops, eggs, wedges, bacon & sausages. And a small selection of paninis.

The Rib Eye Burger is the jewel in their crown. The steak itself is about 2 inches thick & 4 inches in diameter, it's between two burger buns, and includes lettuce, tomato, mayo, tomato sauce, and a whole lot more.

Uncorroborated rumour has it that should you upgrade & ask for it to include a fried egg, bacon & cheese, they will give you a complimentary cholesterol test & a handy, easy to interpret chart telling you roughly how long you have left to live.

I highly recommend it!
