ARLINGTON, Texas — Say it with us, folks: "Everything's bigger in Texas."
And there's a barbecue restaurant in North Texas that's proving just that.
M'Jays House of Smoke in Arlington has gone viral online for one of its dishes that some argue is over the top.
Last week, a TikTok user shared a video of the restaurant prepping a loaded baked potato that it calls the Three Headed Monster.
The butter-covered baked potato is practically used as a plate as it's stacked with a pile of shredded cheese, a heap of brisket, scoops of BBQ sauce, two sliced sausages, two ribs, more sauce, another sprinkle of cheese, and green onions.
As of Nov. 7, the original TikTok video is less than 40,000 away from one million views. Viewers the comments are split between "That's too loaded" and "They better make my stuff just like this."
The dish caught the attention of Texas native and comedian Kevin Fredericks (AKA: KevOnStage), who topped the original TikTok with his own commentary.
Long story short, Fredericks agrees that the potato is basically used a plate and the dish as a whole is a LOT ... but he will be trying it the next time he's in town.
"Yeah I'm trying it, but that's not the point though," the comedian joked. "Why you made this? How much is it? And do you ship to California?"
We can't answer why the Three Headed Monster is a thing or if M'Jays delivers out of state. But, according to the restaurant's online menu, the dish sells for about $28.
