Chinese restaurants all over Australia are preparing for an onslaught today as the man fan’s of Jack Karlson prepare to celebrate his life over a succulent Chinese meal.
Jack, of course, gave Australia one of the best pieces of footage of all time. There isn’t much use describing the video given any Aussie over the age of 25 can quote it verbatim.
We spoke to a local restaurateur who operates from a food court in a suburban shopping centre, he told The Times,
“It’s all Aussies want to eat – sweet & sour pork, honey chicken, beef & black bean and special fried rice. So we are making extra preparations now and talking to our suppliers but there is only so much pork on the market and these people eat far in excess of their daily recommended intake”
Indeed they do. We tracked down Bruce from Belmont who is no stranger to getting absolutely MSG’d on a Thursdee night. He told The Times,
“I usually get 3 mains, special fried rice and some noodles but tonight I reckon I’ll have to step that up to 5 mains. For the great man. It’s democracy manifest after all”
Another Western Australian said he was going to give the takeaway a miss and honour Jack by getting wasted after work and hitting Uncle Billys at around 2:30 am.
Vale Jack. Thanks for the memories.
