Actually, ice cream can be healthy, and I think milkshakes can be healthy too, right? If you just have sugar, egg yolks, cream, those are all great things, right?” Boes replied. “It’s when you add all those emulsifiers and added chemicals, you get down the bad stuff.”

Egg yolks are emulsifiers, right?

fallpeak•37m ago
That seems like unnecessary pedantry, only one step short of the common "everything is chemicals" retort. Egg yolks are an ingredient that contributes to the flavor and nutrient profile of the food while also emulsifying. In this context "emulsifiers" is presumably meant to refer to other ingredients added solely to modify the texture.

I like Steak 'n Shake; they have $5.99 value meals that are cheaper than McDonald's value meals, and they take Bitcoin as a payment option. I never tried their Bitcoin Burger, though. I only see these meals via the kiosk.

We get shakes during happy hour: https://www.steaknshake.com/menu_specials/half-price-happy-h... They are half-price.
