There was a Mexican place I used to go to that had a 1 or maybe even 2 pound burrito, I don't remember, but it was full of beans, shredded beef, rice, tomatoes, all kinds of good shit, then drowned in mole sauce. Loved those things but the place got shut down for health reasons. One of them was they would recycle the chips you get at your table, so when someone leaves chips behind they don't throw them out but put them back in the bin to scoop out for the next person. Sick fucks, but they made great burritos.

Place I used to visit stuffed burgers with olives and blue cheese, and topped it with onions. I was surprised when they were willing and the cook was good enough to get them medium-rare while all the cheese was melted. I recommend attempting.
