Pique Macho

Pique macho translates to “big portions;” and this is exactly that. This highly caloric meal can satisfy the mightiest of appetites of any stoner. Pique macho originated in Bolivia in the 70’s and has become one of their most popular and beloved dishes. It is said that a group of workers went to a restaurant in Cochobamba towards the end of closing. The chef put together all of the ingredients he had over a large amount of fries and told the customers to “Eat if you’re a man”(piquin machos in Spanish).
So what all is in pique macho? Marinated sirloin, hotdogs, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, hard boiled eggs; all over a mound of fries. It is then drizzled with mayonnaise and mustard. I chose to bake my fries instead of frying. Just trying to keep the calories under 3000. I recommend eating this meal no more than once a year if you are trying to live a long life.
