DEBATE: Is Requesting Chicken Parm On Mashed Potatoes An Insane Or Brilliant Move To Pull At An Italian Restaurant?

Devlin6/13/2025 6:35 PM

Always hard to tell what food takes & debates actually get people fired up to defend. But truthfully until Marty Mush posted his buddy requesting a Chicken Parm X Mashed Potato combo, I never considered such a move could even exist.

Out of respect I've never tried to adjust an Italian dish at a restaurant. Has that been out of pure fear of potentially getting asked to go check out some suits around the corner after my olive oil gelato? Absolutely.

Now is it racist that I've lived my life assuming every Italian I meet has at least a smidge of Paulie Walnuts in em? Possibly. But that keen judgement (respect) hasn't done me wrong so far. And I certainly would never dream of changing up their gabagool.

But this chicken parm mashed potato idea? As the brain rotted kids say, I fuck with that heavy fr ong. It's still a great carb combo and arguably more buttery than any noodle experience. When Mush posted that I assumed he'd be getting nothing but hate for his friend. And yet the comment section was majority PRO potatoes. Salud!

Although not without some disagreement amongst the Coliseum…

I cannot and WILL not defend the fork maneuver but I think this new combo has already become a MUST TRY in my eyes. All these Tweets about dipping chicken parm into cheesy garlic potatoes twisted my arm into seeing the light. Maybe new things can be good? That's exciting stuff my friends.

And plus it's all just getting turned into a bowl of rancid poop anyway, who really cares about debating the finer things of food in that case. Let's just EAT brother. Slop them UP!

There has to be a line drawn somewhere, sorry John Rich.
