A dark day.
Surf & Turf aficionados spent yesterday cheersing chilled prosecco flutes in honor of the annual release of revered foodie blog Eat This, Not That’s “5 Chain Restaurants With the Best Surf and Turf Combos Under $25” list.
While Australia’s Outback Steakhouse took home the top prize, fat cats, everywhere, were united in love of the luxury steer/shellfish combination. For the first time in many years, it did not matter if a person was liberal or conservative, MAGA or Antifa. The only important thing was fine, expensive taste.
Surf & Turf bonding the world.
Well, its all wrecked, now, the tasty meal becoming politicized after Sec. of War Party Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon was revealed to have spent $6.9 million on lobster tails, in September alone, in order to pair them with beef.
$81.5 million during the whole of 2025.
According to Slate:
The lobster tail data comes from public records obtained by Open the Books, a nonprofit that turns a critical eye to government spending. A liberal advocacy group it is not: The organization purports to track the proliferation of “radical DEI” school curricula and “anti-Israel worldviews.” But it also routinely takes aim at the exorbitant expenditures of so-called Use-It-or-Lose-It September, the month at the end of the fiscal year when each government department must either plow through the rest of its budget or end up with an unusable surplus that could mean a lower budget the next year.
Left-leaning Dems, in any case, are allegedly “fuming” over the spend, drawing the ire of right-leaning Fox News.
Surf & Turf now dividing the world.
