But come on, guys. We have to draw the line somewhere.

Burger King has introduced a new Bacon Sundae in Nashville, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: an ice cream sundae with bacon in it. The most bizarre part of the whole thing is that they’re not the first chain to roll out a bacon-based dessert. Hell, they’re not even the second. Denny’s introduced their Maple Bacon

Sundae last year, asking eaters one rhetorical question: “We did WHAT with bacon?”

A Georgia steakhouse sparked an uproar when they suggested their “Black and Bleu” Ribeye sandwich was inspired by Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna three years ago.

I'm not a public speaking expert or anything, but comparing a battered woman to chopped meat…probably not a good idea. People were outraged when Chops & Hops Steakhouse in Watkinsville, GA took to Facebook and Twitter to announce a new sandwich only available for one day.

The Food Network star, who has made a name for herself for drenching all of her already-fatty food in “butter y’all,” has just announced that she’s been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
