for a few years now, whenever my buddies and I listen to the great ZZ Top LP "Tres Hombres" we inevitably talk about the meal pictured in the gatefold...after years of this talking my friend decided to make it from scratch for us for his birthday. First we had to decide what it is we agreed on the following:3 enchiladasrice and beans2 crispy shelled tacosplate of guacamole and refried bean nachosbean tostadalimesjalapenosbeerwe were undiecided on what the cheese covered thing on the left of the plate was...even a call to the restaurant where the photo was taken (Lou's in Houston, which is still open) didnt know...so we decided it was a chili relleno.So all 6 of us ate a "Tres Hombre" and consumed many magaritas, beers and bowls. I was able to finish mine, and one other person was able to finish also...its a big meal...so 6 of these were made...

we are undecided on what other record meal we will make and consume...the easiest will undobetedly be the CHarlie Daniels band gatefold of buckets of freid chicken and Jack Daniels...

    This is the bizarre cousin of the sleeve-face phenomenon. You'd best name it and get a website up before those Euromen claim to invent it.

    The closest I come to that is Herrera's in Dallas.

    It's the only restaurant I've ever been to that appeared in National Geographic.

    Well done Hook-Up.

    do not make this






    this looks tasty though, but hold back that swine and lard imo and you have a great base for a lot of deliciousness

    WHAT swine and lard? This looks like it was shot in a vegetarian's kitchen!

    Unless you're referring to the Mongo that I posted...there's some straight-up pig on that plate, but ham hocks are good in moderation.

    And that Jack Bruce cover (which I REFUSE to reprint)...I can't tell what he's eating, but I sure as hell wouldn't share it with the dog...much less be photographed in the act!

    I love everything about this.

    Sported a ZZ Top t-shirt to the clurb on Saturday, got a few compliments. On a meal-related tip, I tossed a piece of pizza to the curb outside of the Village Pizeria in Chicago, in drunken digust of its poor quality -- and I would bet that it's triangle greasy stain will forever grace the sidewalk where it landed. Not my best moment -- we should have gone out for Mexican.

    glad yall dig it! Just so yall know, it was the 3 professional line cooks in our crew that did all the hard work...I was just responsible for the presentation, making margaritas and eating it...everybody was in a food coma after eating the tres hombres...

    Ha! When I worked on a fish processing barge in Alaska my shift was lifting 75 and 300lb (with another dude) boxes as fast as I could for 16 hrs/day, 7days/week. I ate a meal that looked exactly like that (they only served breakfast on the boat) 2 or, if I was lucky, 3 times a day. I only had 20 minutes to cram that down and get back to work.

    It was 6 eggs, 6 pancakes, bowl of dried fruit, bowl of oatmeal, toast, bacon, sausage, banana w/peanut butter, OJ and milk. I remember wishing it was more.

    I've always been a skinny guy, but I put on 30lbs of muscle that summer.
