Unexpected Shakespeare. Nice.

And yummy.

I'm guessing it's a Westworld reference as this Shakespeare quote is used throughout the first season.

‘These violent delights have violent ends‘ is a quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, spoken by Friar Lawrence in a conversation with Romeo in act 2, scene 6.

Ahh, got it. Never got very deep into Westworld.

Actually it's both!

When I was trying to think up a suitable title, Billy Shakes was the first thing that came to mind as I am a fan of the Bard. Then I remembered its use in 'Westworld' and that cemented my decision as it seemed appropriate, given the content of the image.
