from #188 - Best of Patreon Vol. 1 | The Tim Dillon Show · #188

3 min

Tim runs through a list of the highest-calorie restaurant meals in America (Buffalo Wild Wings, Outback, IHOP, Sonic, Dave & Buster's), comparing the food crisis to the opioid epidemic and referencing a Michelle Obama salad-initiative backlash joke.

In this bit9 moments
  • Buffalo Wild Wings cheese curd bacon burger at 2,000 calories — cheese curds are disgusting, especially deep fried on a burger.
  • Outback Steakhouse herb-roasted prime rib at 2,400 calories is another example of massive restaurant meals.
  • An Ihop cheeseburger omelet with pancakes is the type of food that would horrify someone from another country.
  • Other countries getting American fast food has created fat populations for the first time in places like Asia.
  • You can kill yourself for nine dollars at Shake Shack with cheap, massive meals.
  • Sonic's pineapple upside-down master blast shake with vanilla ice cream, pineapple, salted caramel, and pie crust pieces is gross and doesn't even taste good.
  • People are ingesting poison that isn't even enjoyable — fast food functions as a literal drug.
  • The Heart Attack Grill in Vegas is a restaurant where people die while eating, and they're proud of it.
  • The food obesity crisis has become as big a problem as the opioid crisis, but cheaper and less violent than heroin addiction.
