So a few weeks ago, Joopiter and I were at a local watering hole enjoying adult libations when she noticed a banner hanging high and proclaiming happy hour deals for certain menu items. One dish that we took note of was “buff nachos,” which most normal people would interpret as short for “buffalo nachos.”
Yeah, normal people. Immediately we decided that it was clearly meant to be read as [*flex biceps, drop into best Hulkamaniac voice, brutha*] “BUFF NACHOS!” Which, of course, would only be served with … JACKED CHEESE! OHHH YEAH!!
And we were off and riffing.
Before we knew it, we came up with Carbio, the exercise-centric dining spot that we clearly need to open because we ain’t getting rich working for The Man (or The WoMan #hertoo). Before everyone poops, everyone eats, so why not cash in by catering to all those workout-loving freaks? Gym-themed food for the fitness-minded! And of course, all served on weight plates.
On the menu:
- Bacon FitBits
- Granola Crunches
- Stacked Pancakes
- cREPs SuSETs
- Meaticine Balls
- Racked Lamb
- Plank Steak
- Spot Roast
- Zumbaked Ziti
- Stuffed BarBell Peppers
- Bench Fries
- Spin-ach Salad
- Potato Pilatkes
- Loaded Potato Wins
- Swoleslaw
- PUMPkin Bread
- Treadmillshakes, in Strongberry, Veinilla and Chalkolate
Not surprisingly, we were unable to stop there with the dreams of being restaurateurs. Before the doors of Carbio could even open, we were on to a Tom Cruise-themed restaurant. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to launch …
