The challenge faced me from the moment upon landing in Thailand. That's right, The Deprived. (If you are unfamiliar, please refer to my post from a few days ago.) It seems fitting that my last meal in and memory from Thailand will be the conquest of The Deprived.
Imagine this... two buns, four grilled beef patties, four slices of American cheese melted into an undescribable taste and texture, topped with three slices of bacon and a healthy dollop of barbecue sauce. That is The Deprived. At a whopping 990 calories, or 1,430 if you count the french fries, The Deprived is no laughing matter. However, I did have a Diet Coke, so it sort of offsets everything else. Much like Hillary's quest to conquer Everest, it was my duty to defeat this red, white and blue monstrosity to show Thais just what Americans are made of. It wasn't just for kicks or personal glory, but for national pride. All the marbles were on the table.

The Deprived
The real trick was how to bite into the behemoth. As presented, the sandwich was too wide for a normal human to get his jaws around. Yet, if squeezed too much, a conglomeration of barbecue sauce and melted cheese would ooze all over your hands. It was a delicate ballet, combining wits, stamina and skill. But, yours truly prevailed.
It wasn't too difficult a task and the result was yet again American dominance. Now, the real test will be to see if my stomach can make it to Saigon in one piece. Let's see what this Air France 747 jumbo jet can do - yes, the Froggies fly an American-made sky fortress.

Are you sure it's not "The Depraved"??
