'stache #5 - onion ring moustache






Although the french fry moustache remains the most popular of the American fried moustaches, the onion ring is a close second. Able to be molded into a variety of shapes, flavors, and styles, it is little wonder that many food moustache connoisseurs consider the onion ring ‘stache their top pick. During the Great Depression, the fried loop moustache was considered a mark of great wealth, onions having been all but decimated by the little known, but tragic, onion weevil plague of the early 1930s.

The onion ring moustache may be worn year round, although its malleability suffers in the warmer months. Cornelius and Dorcas sport these staches at Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que in Lightfoot, Virginia, off Route 64 on a difficult to find exit.
