Comic Bert Kreischer leaves hilariously crass 5-star review of Boyd's Jig & Reel pork rinds

We really should have expected no less from a comedian known for performing shirtless, gut proudly on display (although to be fair, Bert Kreischer lost 45 pounds last year).

Kreischer, whose career has evolved from being Rolling Stone’s 1997 "Number One Partier in the Nation" to becoming a popular stand-up comic, was in Knoxville for his Tops Off World Tour on April 6.

While in town, Kreischer made his way to Boyd's Jig & Reel in Old City and indulged in what he called "the best god---n pork rinds I've ever had in my entire life."

Kreischer, who has posted very few reviews on Yelp, felt moved to write a lengthy and − in keeping with his persona − hilariously crass ode to pork.

"When God, on the third day, invented pig, he must've had in mind what the chef at Boyd's Jig and Reel was gonna do to it," he wrote in the five-star review. "Trust me, when I say this, I believe in three things, the Lord, my wife's naked body and the pork rinds here."

Kresicher's Yelp review quickly ended up on the Scottish pub's Instagram, with the pub advising, "Be sure to come and get the pork rinds that The Machine swears by!"

Those house-fried pork rinds, described on the menu as "fluffy" and coated with a special house seasoning, are available at lunch and dinner, according to the online menu.
