INFO BOLT: Eat this, says Burt Reynolds




The #3 Chick-Fil-A combo meal: it's the closest approximation Mainstream Mass Quantity Food can get to the hurried lunch order Buford T. Justice makes at a diner in a little Burt Reynolds tribute documentary called Smokey & The Bandit.

The scene: 

Reynolds sits at the counter of a truck stop diner, waiting for his to-go order. 

How much I owe you m'am? he asks.

Dollarn AHalf, she answers.

[Burt slides her some cash - likely a $100 bill.]

Keep the change, he says. 


His nemesis, played by the eternal Jackie Gleason, strides into the joint and belches out what he wants to eat:


"Lemme have a diablo sammich, a Dr. Peppah and make it fast I'm in a got-d@m hurry!!" 







It doesn't hurt that Gleason punctuates the scene by muttering "Nice Ass."
