Big Kahuna Burger

Big Kahuna Burger is a fictional chain of Hawaiian-themed fast food restaurants that has appeared in films by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, including Death Proof, Four Rooms, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and From Dusk till Dawn.[2] The packaging was created by Tarantino's old friend Jerry Martinez.[3] The restaurant features most prominently in Pulp Fiction, where Jules Winnfield eats the sandwich to intimidate the main target of a contract killing he has been ordered to carry out and remarks, "This is a tasty burger!"

In Pulp Fiction, the burger appears to be a typical American beef burger, with cheese, lettuce and tomato on a hamburger bun. Multiple real restaurants have featured a "Big Kahuna Burger" on their menus, including Inskip Grill located in Tarantino's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
