Kanye West To Fatten Up Chicago With New Burger Chain

Just what fat-ass Americans need more of...

Filed under: food & drink — michael @ 1:29 pm

Kanye West wants you to know that if you’re looking to pack on the pounds, he’s more than happy to assist. The 31-year-old rapper is the proud new owner of the rights to 10 Fatburger Restaurants in the Chicago area. The chain, which features such items as the “Fatburger”, “Baby Fat Burger”, and “King Burger” is very popular on the West coast scene. We might also add, thankfully, that a “Veggie Burger” from Boca also exists on the menu.

Still, it’s rather unfortunate in a time when Americans could use better nutrition, we’re instead treated to further crap from places like Fatburger; not to mention the impact on the planet of ingesting more meat and building up factory farming.

Kanye West has always been a bit of an enigma — after all, this is the same guy who ordered takeout from the UK last year for a meeting he was having in New York City. Sure, he participated in Live Earth, but with business ventures like this one, it’s pretty clear that PR was the only thing on his mind at that time.

Chicago, we’re sorry. We hope something a bit more healthy pops up on the scene soon.

Kanye West Does Think Of The Animals!

So I think we are all allowed at least one gratuitous post am I right?

You’ve probably already seen the ‘Be Kanye’ ads or the official Be Kanye page that is on the Absolut Vodka website, but what you probably didn’t notice was the fine print so to speak.

While there will probably never be a ‘Be Kanye’ pill on the market anytime soon, it’s good to see that if there was it would never be tested on animals. It’s good to see that Kanye West does indeed think of things other than himself.

Just a little random Kanye West food for thought.
