Looks like Mario Lopez and Steve Martorano have themselves a little "bromance" going on. The X Factor host who will always be known as A.C. Slater to us, started up a friendship while taping the Kris Jenner Show last month.

Of course, when Lopez found himself hungry and in Fort Lauderdale this past Saturday, he had to pay a visit to Cafe Martorano, where he dined on many dishes, including the eggplant stack that Martorano had made on Jenner's television talker.

"I'm so full my stomach is pushing on my lungs - I can't even breathe!" Lopez Tweeted

I'm so full my stomach is pushing on my lungs. I can't even breathe... Thanks @SteveMartorano .. A little buzzed too.

Lopez then Tweeted pictures of his veal and lobster dishes, and noted that "Goodfellas" was playing in the background:
