"At Black Angus, we'll start you off with our appetizer platter, featurin' five jumbo deep-fried gulf shrimp, served on a disk of salted butter, with 15 of our potato-bacon bombs and a big bowl a' pork cracklins with our cheese-and-butter dippin' sauce!"
You're like, "Um, we-we’re all gonna split that…"
"Oh, you'll each get your own! Then we'll take you to our mile-long soup-and-salad bar featurin' bacon-and-cheese cream soup and our five-head-of-iceberg-lettuce He-Man salad, served in a punch bowl with 18 pounds a' ranch dressin', pork-stuffed deep-fried croutons and, what the hell, a couple of corndogs!"
"Uh, hey man, I'll tell you what; I'll just get like a mixed green salad."
"Hey, you'll suck a cock on the Golden Gate Bridge before I bring you a mixed green, buddy!"
"I... What? I ju-"
"Then we'll wheel out our bottomless trough of fried dough!"
"I... W-wait a minute! Am I getting a steak?"

"I love butter. But 'science' claims that the body is not designed to consume only butter. Well, man has been known to overcome every obstacle in his existence. We've been on the moon, and proved the Earth is flat, and Albert Einstein brought a guy named Frank back from the grave! So I'll tell you what, real science is not taking no for an answer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... (holds up a stick of butter on a popsicle stick) ButterSmear! It's the combined taste of all the essential food groups: Burgers, bacon, sausages, fries, bacon, burritos, curries, bacon, bacon, bacon—all in one healthy yet delicious yellow spread. I've eaten ButterSmear every meal for eleven days now and I feel no ill side effects at all. In fact, I've lost feeling in my entire body. Pledge today to help me push mankind one step further. (eats it) Mmm... ButterSmear, makes everything taste a little bit butter. (faceplants onto the keyboard) If you're watching this video, please call an ambulance."

"Is this one of your menus? 'Sausage and waffle and fried chicken breakfast lasagna'? 'Bacon-wrapped chitlin-stuffed catfish'? Granddad, you can't serve this kind of food to people. It'll cause... death."
Huey Freeman, The Boondocks ("The Itis")

Speedy Gonzales: Man, you gotta be serious about your nutrition! You gotta think of your body as a machine! Nutrition is the fuel! What's a typical day of food for you?
Daffy Duck: Well, I start with a sensible breakfast.
Speedy: What?
Daffy: A bunch of powdered sugar on a hot dog.

Speedy: Okay, that's pretty good!
Daffy: I just deep-fry that sucker and dump a bunch of powdered sugar on top.
Speedy: I'm scared to ask what you eat for dinner.
Daffy: I like a big dinner. Helps me sleep. I'll take a casserole dish, or something big and deep. Pour about two inches of powdered sugar in there, a rack of babyback ribs, a layer of marshmallows, more powdered sugar 'til it's about yea high, throw that dude in the microwave for about 45 minutes, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve!
Speedy: ... that's what you eat for dinner.
Daffy: Well, I supplement throughout the day with these protein bars.
