When it comes to food habits, we often indulge without worrying about the consequences—and Frankie Muniz, the soap opera star turned NASCAR driver, is no different. Frankie Muniz has openly embraced his love for food, vowing to stick to his adventurous palate as long as his health keeps up.

Fans, however, have been cracking up over his quirky food choices, proving once again that nothing sparks conversation like a bizarre menu pick. For Muniz, it’s all about living life one bite at a time—health permitting!

On December 24th, right on Christmas Eve, Muniz took to his official X account and made a daredevil tweet. Just because he hasn’t encountered a grievous E. coli, he has taken the solemn oath of trying it once more in a new form.

Frankie Muniz wrote, “So I didn’t get E. coli from the meat I ate yesterday, so do I risk it again today and make these burgers?” You all know meat often has impurities in it if the same is not washed properly, and it often has long-term implications on your health, as Muniz is implicating. And, E. coli is one of them. While it is understandable that Muniz is embarking on a fun take with this statement, he is undermining his health to a great extent.

But on the contrary, Muniz’s Instagram post tells a different [funny] story. Posting a Ford Performance video, full of Christmas theme, he wrote, “Santa will be using the training I gave him to make sure he makes it to every house tonight to deliver presents! One of my greatest accomplishments!”  In the video, Frankie Muniz is seen sipping hot coffee [beverage].

Additionally, the Malcolm star has been having a tough time after he took a sabbatical from his acting career and has embarked on racing in its full form. He has been having major issues with scholarships and funding, which has in turn had an impact on the longevity of his NASCAR career. Despite Frankie Muniz’s pre-recorded popularity, it has become a challenge for him. However, Muniz has always been known to be someone who is extremely active with his fans and often engages in light-hearted banter with them.

Even when it comes to this choice of opting for the meat, even though it might not be right for his health, fans seemed to be quite sarcastic about his post. Only time will tell if Muniz’s adventurous palate will lead to a culinary triumph or a cautionary tale.

Fans react to Frankie Muniz’s choice

NASCAR drivers always have a way when it comes to their favorite drivers, and it seems as though Muniz has been able to connect well with his fans. They do have some hilarious takes on this decision. One fan took a jibe at the current standing of the television and how boring it has become to witness. Citing the same, the comment read, “Put the meat in front of the television and make it watch the view for 20 minutes. Kills anything”. 

Given how burgers have become a very important part of American cuisine, it seems as though Muniz is indeed doing the right thing by gorging on the same. A fan pointed out the same and said, “It would be un-American if you didn’t.”

Not only that, a fan pointed out how eating burgers is always positive, and frankly there is nothing to lose. Citing the same, a fan said, “Either the burgers end up tasting good or you get sick and lose a few pounds. Win-win if you ask me. Heading to Zipps this friday with the boys if you want to join.” Another fan commented, “If you can stomach it I guess, but I sure wouldn’t.”

Frankie Muniz has officially confirmed his return to the Truck Series for 2025. While his schedule is limited, it includes two starts each in the Xfinity, Truck, and ARCA Series. Reflecting on his journey, a fan enthusiastically commented, “Absolutely. You a truck series driver now. You are tough”. After competing in 20 ARCA events last season, where he posted 11 top-10 finishes and secured an impressive fourth place in the standings, Muniz has definitely set the bar high for himself.

Muniz’s daring food experiment has not only amused his fans but also solidified his reputation as a risk-taker, both on and off the track. Whether it’s racing or burgers, he seems determined to embrace the thrill of the unknown.
