Into the greasy heart of "Fast Food Mania"

One of the gifts America has given the world is fast food and "Fast Food Mania" (10 & 10:30 tonight, Destination America channel -- 256 digital tier Time Warner) celebrates how eating all that junk has made some of us a little crazy.

OK, it doesn't exactly take that approach. But what else to make of the 1,500 people who vie for 20 slots to be in the White Castle slider burger hall of fame?

Jon Hein, who has been on The Howard Stern Show and his own 'The Fast Food Show" on Sirius/XM, hosts this tour through the deep-fried and salty goodness. In the first episode, he visits White Castle, the Texas-based Whataburger chain and the familiar and much beloved Chik-Fil-A.

Takei was 5 years old at the time. His family spent four years in those prison camps.
