Politics On A Plate: Iowa Restaurant Creates Politically-Themed Caucus Menu, And It's HYSTERICAL

Written by Published

In the heart of downtown Des Moines, Iowa, Zombie Burger, a popular local eatery, has unveiled an array of politically-themed dishes, each with a unique twist, as reported by Axios.

The culinary team, known for their creativity and humor, has crafted a menu that playfully nods to the 2024 political landscape.

Among the offerings is "Mom-Aswamy's Spaghetti," a vegetarian sandwich featuring spaghetti. This dish is a tribute to Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's well-known admiration for rapper Eminem.

The "Meatball Ron" is another intriguing addition to the menu. This dish features a meatball patty topped with mozzarella, marinara, garlic, and a fried banana, all served on a concealed slice of garlic bread. This unusual combination is a playful reference to the rumored heel lifts worn by a certain political figure. The dish will make its debut on Saturday, and patrons are encouraged to share their thoughts on this unique culinary creation.

On Sunday, the "American History 101" will be available. This straightforward dish consists of a double pimento cheese patty with bacon, pulled pork, okra, and Carolina Gold Sauce. Despite its simplicity, it promises to be a satisfying meal.

Monday's special is the "Day One Dic-Tator," a nod to former President Trump's infamous comment about becoming a dictator on the first day of his hypothetical second term. This dish features a Flamin' Hot Cheetos orange kielbasa served with Russian dressing, a combination that promises a burst of flavor, reminiscent of a time before geopolitical tensions escalated.

In addition to these dishes, the restaurant also offers a Biden-themed milkshake, flavored with SleepyTime tea syrup.

As part of the Friday Funday tradition, the restaurant has proposed two additional menu items. The "McBiden Bite" consists of two soggy buns, a vegetable patty, and ice cream, a playful jab at President Joe Biden. The "Kamala Burger" is a half bun served with off-brand ketchup. If patrons express dissatisfaction with this dish, they are humorously warned that they may be accused of racism by a woman in an unflattering suit.

These innovative menu items reflect the restaurant's commitment to combining culinary creativity with political commentary, offering patrons a unique dining experience.
