A Side of What?
It’s a little more “Survivor” and a little less “Fear Factor,” but for some, it would surely make your stomach churn. It is, however, one way to guarantee that your veggies are fresh!
A video posted by @jacobgoldmn and shared by Two Buttons Deep has been making the rounds on social media after two young men at the Texas Roadhouse in Albany allegedly spotted an unexpected dinner guest: a caterpillar lying inside their bowl of fresh broccoli. See the video below!

Comedy Gold
The clip itself was lighthearted, but the comments section quickly turned into comedy gold.
- Rebecca Semprivivo summed it up perfectly: “That’s why I don’t eat broccoli… that would never happen with chocolate.”
- Joe Melius added, “At least you know the broccoli was fresh. Wouldn’t have a caterpillar in frozen broccoli!”
- Ashley Marie Cooper joked, “If you have bugs on your veggies, you’re better off — less pesticides.”
- And Leonard Oldham Stevens kept it simple: “Lil extra protein.”
- Tina Ann said, “Better than a roach,” while Jim Brush chimed in, “Won’t ever get that with donuts.”
- Deborah Ellen McDonald even cracked, “Are you under a tree?”
Others were quick to point out that this isn’t exactly shocking.
At Least It’s…Farm Fresh!
“If you’ve ever had fresh broccoli — it happens,” wrote Casandra Venditti-Russo. Elizabeth Evansky added, “Shocking. Your broccoli was actually grown in the ground!”
No word yet from Texas Roadhouse, but if there’s a silver lining, it’s that the broccoli was, in fact, farm fresh.
