MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII – After decades of being the best kept secret in the Marine Corps, the lid has been lifted on bag nasties — the burger and fries fast chow alternative for Marines on the go, on the rifle range, or on the heels of a three-day bender — and they are finally getting their due.
Foodies from all over descended upon the Oahu installation this week to taste for themselves, after an Instragam selfie taken of Lance Cpl. Evan Waylon with chef Taia Keoni went viral.
The picture, taken on Sep. 19, featured a severely hungover and glassy-eyed Waylon holding up his government issued Happy Meal, as Keoni beamed with pride beside him. By Monday morning, the photo had reportedly broken the internet.
“I hadn’t even gone to bed yet!” Waylon slurred. “I got hammered in Waikiki the night before, and just got dropped off at the chow hall. Keoni’s the fuckin’ man.”
