Lawrence Russell Brewer pretty much ruined the 'final meal' for every death row inmate in Texas, after his infamous request shortly before execution. Brewer asked for (take a deep breath) a triple bacon cheeseburger, two chicken fried steaks with gravy and onions, a cheese and beef omelette, tomatoes, a 'Meat Lovers' pizza, bell peppers, jalapeƱos, a bowl of okra, one pound of barbecue meat, half a loaf of bread, three fully loaded fajitas, three root beers, a pint of ice cream, and a slab of peanut butter fudge. Brewer's ridiculous request was granted, but he refused to eat a single bite, leading to the state of Texas ending the tradition of offering last meal requests.
