Chronic Tacos actually got a shout-out in "Jackass 3-D," with the producers deciding to claim the restaurant franchise was a sponsor of the picture. It was played mainly for comedic effect, according to Steve-O, but it led to an investment from the late Paul Walker and his brother Caleb Walker, who would go on to double for Paul after his passing for 2015's "Furious 7."
The Walker brothers were at the premiere of "Jackass 3-D" and were also looking to invest in a restaurant at the time. When they heard mention of Wee Man's Chronic Tacos, they approached him and decided to invest and open a location in Huntington Beach, as he explained on the "Wild Ride!" podcast. Before Walker became another celebrity face attached to the franchise, Wee Man said they had 26 locations. As of September 2022, they over a dozen more, he told Steve-0.
Wee Man, however, isn't the only "Jackass" star dabbling in the food industry. Steve-O also has a hot sauce called Steve-O's Hot Sauce For Your Butthole, which can be found on the comedian's official site. During the recent chat with Wee Man on his podcast, Steve-O asked about the chances of getting his hot sauce into Chronic Tacos locations.
"Done. What you mean what are the chances? You're my bro, dude," Wee Man declared. That said, customers can hopefully expect to be topping Wee Man's Chronic Tacos with Steve-O's hot sauce soon enough.
