File Under: Open-Faced EXTREME

I present for your consideration:

The HAYSTACK with eggs.

This dish is served at “The Grill” in downtown Tucson; a 24 hour diner with a bar attached.

The Haystack is the closest thing I’ve seen to the garbage plate outside of Rochester, NY.

The Haystack is a bed of French fries with a thick burger patty laid over the top, all held together by country gravy. Eggs are optional, but I went for it since this will probably be the last time I go to the Grill in my time here.

The best thing about the Haystack? The boundary between the burger and the fries gets filled up with country gravy, such that the fries start to dissolve in beefy grease and gravy. It tastes like America in there.
