Hardest food to eat while driving where you're from?

For those of you who are on Twitter today you will know I’m in a battle over food on there. But the question stands, from where you’re from, what is the hardest thing to eat and drive?

I’ll say where I’m currently living in Maryland Blue Crabs becauseI can barely de-shell them when I’m a sitting at a table, I have seen folks driveing and de-shelling. So crazy.

From where I’m from around Chicago, Portillo’s Combo Dipped with hot peppers. It’s an Italian beef sandwich, with a polish sausage up its ass, dipped back in its own juices and covered in hot peppers. So good, I have driven and eaten this, it’s a mess and its sooooo good.

What about where you are from?

Ottawa... poutine would probably be pretty difficult to eat while driving, with having to use a fork and everything.

Well, Alberta is famous for beef, and I can’t imagine that a big ol’ slab of steak would be very convenient while driving.

The portillos is hard to eat while driving, although only when dipped. Dry its no worse than any other sub. Dipped though, you better inhale that bastard because its coming apart in seconds.

I’d imagine magic mushrooms would probably the most difficult to eat while driving...

In all seriousness, I’d like to see one of my neighbors to the north eat poutine and drive.

Not from Buffalo, but I have to say hot wings. They can be eaten with one hand, but you, and your car, will inevitably end up covered in hot sauce. Bonus points if you end up getting hot sauce in your eyes.

The Michigan “Coney Dog:” an all beef hotdog covered in chili, chopped onions and yellow mustard.

(First-Runner Up) Washington, DC: Ben’s Chili Bowl “Half Smoke:” basically the same thing as a coney.

A Porterhouse Steak and a Baked Potato are a real SOB to try to eat while driving.

Very true on the Italian combo too. Though I prefer Al’s to Portillos.

Hmm, I can’t help but think that Gumbo would be a bitch and a half to eat while driving, but so would any soup, so that’s kinda cheating. You took crabs for Maine so going with boiled shrimp or crawfish for Here in Houston would be too obvious. Hmmm, how about biscuits and sausage gravy from Whataburger? Though a rack of BBQ ribs might be up there too.

The Yesterdog. A local staple (and for good reason, this shit is my meter stick for delicious hot dogs), the Yesterdog is very similar to a hot dog, but messier. Difficult enough to eat in the booth, I couldn’t imagine attempting it behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.

Traditional Bavarian dish. Roasted pig’s rear ankle. If done well, the skin is crispy and the meat will melt on your tongue. As you can see, it is still on the bone.

Eat.... while driving? People do that?! I don’t even allow open food or drinks in my cars. Bottled water only.

I had a bad experience a couple years back when I got hit and had groceries in the back... turns out milk + pickle juice gets unbearably rancid shockingly quickly.

Since then I’ve bought two new cars and a used one, and I’ve only broken the rule once (on the day I sold one).

Ooooh wait, no, better yet I give you the “Mega Mel” burger.

I’ll go with enchiladas (Texas), since you’d have to use a fork. That said, I once rode in a car (a manual) with a guy who was eating a bowl of cereal. Impressive.

Since I’m in Cincinnati, the signature thing is Skyline Chili. So a bowl of soupy chili, noodles and metric fuck-ton of cheese. Might be tough to handle while driving

As a former O.S. employee I fell I must say their products are a bit overrated.

I would submit any pasta dish from Lo Sole Mio or a slice from La Cassa’s as the messier of the options from the big “O”.

Augustiner Bierhalle is way better than the Hofbräuhaus for example, so you did good. How long did you work there? I’m just curious because I lived in/near Munich for a little over a decade (got moved there, stayed, moved somewhere else, came back, recently moved to the opposite end of the country.)

The challenging part about eating these in the car is that the cheese is in the middle of the burger so when you take that first bite it is like biting into molten lava. If you don’t end up in a guard rail or the ditch at that point it should be easy going from there... assuming you don’t drip that in your crotch.

Smalahove (cured sheeps head) seems tricky to me, especially since you need alcohol to tolerate the fact that you are eating a face.

I wouldn’t eat rakfisk or lutefisk in my car either, but that is more due to the smell.

You tear the top of the wrap, start to unwrap as you eat it, you end with a giant puddle in the bottom of the wrapper. Also I can do it while driving a manual, with little mess

I love their stuff, so I’ll have to disagree there.

Never tried Lo Sole Mio, I’ll have to put that on the list. La Casa is fairly messy, I will give you that.

With mega-food like this I can’t help but wonder about how successfully such an enormous patty can be cooked without either being raw inside or horribly dry. I think I’d rather just try to eat the stack of regular burgers.

Still, an impressive feat of burgerneering.

Not saying it is terrible, just not as good as they think they are. I’ve sampled quite a bit of their product (particularly when I would get care packages of the stuff when I was in College) and it is tasty. But if I were to invest the same coin into a Steak dinner I would rather spend it at a local Butcher shop or decent Grocery that offers aged Beef.

We used to get a giant tub of corn on the cob from some restaurant I wish I knew, and the corn was swimming in a butter and garlic melted to perfection, with a skim coat of seasoning on top. So when you pulled the corn out, you got a drippy buttery mess with just the right amount of seasoning on it!

Fried rice with chop sticks. Maybe pho these days.

Alternatively, just about any traditional Mexican dish that isn’t served as a street food.

Alternatively-alternatively, if you expand to the greater LA Area, the most difficult thing you’d expect to be able to eat is probably the Busy Bee sausage or meatball sandwich with extra sauce.

Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa... eat in the car?

DO NOT EAT IN THE CAR.

I mean, do not eat in the car.

I repeat: do noooooooot eat in the car.

Do NOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT eat in the car!

Sometimes you can get away with easy, self-contained finger food liek Timbits, but really? Don’t eat in the car. That’s how you get ants. Even Timbits drop frosting sometimes. Do you really want ants? Do you want your car to smell like a rolling garbage can? No. That’s why you don’t eat in the car.

If you can’t pull over to eat a proper meal, you shouldn’t be driving, or eating. It’s a pick one or the other thing. Trying to do both at once is gross. The two don’t mix.
