WATCH: Pledge Allegiance To This Turtle Burger From ‘The United States Of Bacon’

Tonight marks the premiere Todd Fisher’s 12-episode show The United States of Bacon, and the first state containing Fischer’s hyperbolic bacon desire is Illinois, which contains bacon-wrapped Chicago dogs, bacon- stuffed deep dish pizza, and of course, enormous flat-tops full of sizzling pork. Naturally, in the clips below, this inspires the creation of a “bacon turtle burger”, which is either a cute little creature that represents everything one could ever want in life…or a nightmare cholesterol beast.

The United States of Bacon premieres tonight on Destination America at 10/9 CT.
