    Smokey And The Bandit

    Until I just googled it, I didn't realize that the Diablo Sandwich probably originated in Smokey and the Bandit (I assumed it preceded the movie). Apparently, Jackie Gleason improvised a lot of that scene. There's an article about the Diablo Sandwich here. It mentions that while the Old Hickory House at Forrest Park (as seen in the movie) closed years ago, there is still one in Tucker, GA. While a couple of cheeseburgers and a glass of iced tea cost the Bandit "dollar and a half" in 1977, the cheeseburgers are now $6.29 each with a tea at $3.58 (that's $16.16). The Diablo Sandwich is $6.99. The Old Hickory House website is here.

    Buck OWENS Got caught in the Celebrity Speed Trap in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again'. I didn't remember this phrase, so I checked it out. Weirdly, the closed captions have it as "He'll foreclose quicker than a mineral swimming nickel dipper". Likewise, in 'Baa, Baa White Sheep' Cooter says that Boss "Changes into a black suit quicker than a mineral-swimming nickel dipper" (again according to the closed captions). It's not the first time that the closed captions have been slightly out. After listening to both, I think he actually says "...quicker than a minnow'll swim a nickel dipper". There was a small discussion about this line back in 2007.

  3. I am brave! I have eaten the Smokey and the Bandit Jackie Gleason (Sheriff Buford T. Justice) meal of Diablo Sandwich 4 times now. 3 times sandwich only. 4th time the complete meal sandwich and Dr. Pepper with it. My mom tried it in the Slider version. She said "To hot for me Bobby." The 1st 3 times I ate it, my nose ran after I finished it. I see why he ordered a drink with it. To help cool it off. So hot. That's why while eating, he patted himself on the chest and went "Whoa!"
