You'd think somewhere that sells $25,000 Sundae's could control a roach and rat problem? Apparently not. A few weeks ago it was shut down until they got the problem under control. Don't fear though, they've since re-opened. Lucky, I had a fat wad of bills burning a hole through my pocket!

Thanks Peter for emailing this one in! I thought the Japanese loved Supersized Meals, with their Mega Macs and Kobayashi and all. Apparently Yoshinoya Management didn't like it when 2 employees made a steaming beef mountain and put the vid on YouTube. They said "It's just a disgrace to treat food this way". Hmm, I wonder if they've been here before? PS - If you know another location for the video, please let us know!

TOKYO -- How many scoops of stewed beef can you pile onto a bowl of rice? Two video-savvy cooks who tried to find out could find themselves out of jobs after the Japanese beef bowl chain Yoshinoya D&C Co. suspended them for posting a clip of their experiment on YouTube.

[via EatFeats] The Japanese love their MegaMacs, so it's no surprise that Japanese McDonalds have just released another version of their Mega styled burgers. Introducing the Mega Egg, and Mega Tomato, to help increase "satisfaction". Triple beef patties with egg for the Mega Egg, and triple beef patties with bacon and tomato for the Mega Tomato. Surely someone's Mega Mac'd these into a Mega Tower somewhere in Japan!

They might be the water trucks of the desert, but apparently they carry a fair bit of meat too! French Chef Christian Falco, who is notorious for cooking up Supersized Meals, cooked the beast for 15 hours at a seaside Moroccan town south of Rabat.
