Big AZ MEATZ

Brought to you by the same co-worker who tipped me off on The Modern Toilet restaurant in Taiwan, I am simultaneously intrigued and disgusted by this American product:

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!

Exhibit A(Z): Big AZ Chicken and Big AZ Burger

Kraft found a Big AZ Burger in the odd morning hours at the bodega near his place in Brooklyn and took a picture of it on his Blackberry. Showing our office the picture (not the one above) at 5:30pm prompted several questions and a good half-hour spent laughing AND discovering all we could about the Big AZ line on the Internets (and finishing up some other work....). I still have so many unanswered questions about the Big AZ Burger, such as, how can it stay in a vending machine so long? What is the meat ACTUALLY made out of that it can just sit at room temperature all day? It tastes...good?!

I guess those are pretty important questions that will only be answered upon finding this golden ticket in a bodega. Until then, here are the two answers I DID find:

Q1: Who makes Big AZ Products?
 A1: Pierre Foods. 

 With manufacturing plants in Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Pierre Foods prides themselves on making "Real food for BIG snack ATTACKS." They also hold the motto "Creative Ideas. Innovative Solutions." Nothing says creativity like naming your product line "Big AZ" or "Big AZ Bubba Twins" when describing a two-pack. I admit, I laughed out loud when Kraft first said, "Big AZ Burger." Say whatttt?!

Q2: What other Big AZ Meats are there?
A2: The Big AZ Product line is ridiculous(ly amazing?). Categorized on their website as "Handheld Convenience," Big AZ covers it ALL.

Breakfast/Deli Sandwiches:
Poor Boy Sandwich
Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Specialty Sandwiches:
Rack-o-Ribs BBQ Pork Sandwich
Country Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Cheese
Fish and Cheese Sandwich

I may just have to put down for one of these, if I can actually find it at a deli in the wee hours of the morning. Mystery meat! To be continued...
