The Deep Fried Big Mac may seem like a bit much even for those up for any unhealthy meal. Yet it's an experience that many will not be able to resist. After all, food is becoming as much of a spectacle as going to the carnival -- where a lot of similar meals can be found.
The brainchild of food blog Peep My Eats, the Deep Fried Big Mac is quite easy to make on one's own. Simply scramble some eggs, then add bread crumbs and mix. Once this mixture is complete, dip a whole Big Mac into it and deep fry it. Of course, not everyone owns a deep fryer. Perhaps the fast food joint will consider offering its own version in the near future.
