Broke-Ass Foodie: Fat Bastard at Ike's Place

Ike's Place (3506 16th St. at Sanchez, 553-6888) makes the heartiest sandwiches you ever wrapped your mouth around, many under eight bucks and almost all with wacky monikers like Do You Smell What Barack is Cooking? (BBQ ribeye and smoked gouda). You'd never know it from BAF's girlish figure, but we're partial to the Fat Bastard ($6.96), a stack of ham, bacon, and American cheese, slathered with plenty of Ike's signature secret Dirty Sauce. There's also the Hella Fat Bastard, which swaps out fried mozzarella sticks for the American. We would have tried it, but we'd have gone 98 cents over our $8 budget. Besides, we're pretty sure it would've killed us.

No doubt this all sounds a bit gross to you veggies and vegans, but don't let that stop you from giving Ike's a try -- there's an extensive sandwich menu for you, too. Instead of a Fat Bastard, how about a Meatless Mike?
