In a move baffling both food critics and political analysts, former U.S. President George W. Bush and commentator Tucker Carlson announced the debut of their Antipodean‑themed restaurant chain, cheekily named BUSHTUCKER. The venture promises “authentic Aussie‑Tex fusion” with dishes ranging from Kangaroo Chili con Queso to Vegemite BBQ Ribs.

Carlson, sporting an apron emblazoned with the Southern Cross, told reporters: “Australians deserve to know what real Texas hospitality tastes like — with a side of Wallaby Wings.” Crowds in Sydney reportedly swarmed the soft opening, snapping photos of political parody and culinary curiosity colliding in real time.

Franchise rumours already stretch from Byron Bay surf shacks to Alice Springs roadhouses. Skeptics remain unconvinced, calling BUSHTUCKER “a menu built on meme logic.” But lines outside suggest the experiment might just stick like barbie sauce on a billycan.
