The Luke Gatti Mac and Cheese Rant originated from a viral video in 2015 featuring a University of Connecticut student aggressively demanding 'jalapeño bacon mac and cheese' from dining hall staff. The situation escalated into a profanity-laced physical altercation after Gatti was refused service for being intoxicated, eventually leading to his arrest and widespread internet infamy. The meme has since become a symbol for extreme entitlement, late-night food cravings, or moments of irrational anger over trivial things. It is frequently used to parody people who blow minor inconveniences out of proportion or to express a desperate, singular focus on a specific goal.
