In the latest episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visited Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine in Boise, Idaho. Inspired by their "Tucker Mac & Cheese" served with sweet potato fries and "trashy sauce," with an optional hot dog, bacon, or chili ($1.50 extra), Guy decides to make the most epic plate of mac and cheese dish ever created. He says, "I want you to take everything you have... We are gonna make the Thunder Platter."

The Thunder Platter consists of onion rings, sweet potato fries, a hot dog, bacon, red onions, green bell peppers, jalapenos, olives, Anaheim chiles, a burger patty, a weaved bacon blanket, mac n cheese, and extra cheese sauce, all on a tortilla chip base. With Cheetos to garnish.

He's the first to admit it: "This is ridiculous," he says as he takes the weaved bacon blanket and turns it into a "bacon crostini."

It's called the "Thunder Platter" because that's the sound it makes going through your colon.

On a scale of 1-7 levels of hell, this must be somewhere around 6.
