1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,960 The Main Menu podcast presents C&D under the table. 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,880 Welcome. Welcome everyone back to the 3 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,120 main menu podcasting featuring not Z&D. 4 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,120 We are back at it again with some tier lists though due to 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,920 our Fearless Joe being. When you watch the. 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,800 Vader and the Kenobi fun. OK, I I agree with that, Alex. 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,680 Doesn't mean. My bad. 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,400 We are. We are back on the tier list. 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,240 Joe is in the hot state of Iowa right now, but not with the rest 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,960 of us. He decided to go off by himself 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,800 and do stuff in Des Moines. So. 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,880 We. Are going to jump into another 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:55,200 tier list because, well, most of us are big foodies and I like to 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,720 shove stuff in my face. A lot. 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,760 Oh yeah. Yeah, so last time we did fast 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,960 food. Doesn't have to be food either. 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880 Sit down style restaurant where you actually get a menu in front 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,640 of your face. So yeah, go ahead and take her 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,360 away there, Derek. All right, so first on the list 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,280 we have Red Robins or Red Robin. I wish I can zoom in on this. 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,880 Can I do that? Really, Robin? 22 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,240 Yummy. Thank you Cheddar. 23 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,840 I was waiting. I was about to look foolish. 24 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,840 You know what? Screw it. 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600 So we have Red Robin. I've only been here once. 26 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,280 All right, Red Robin. Yum. 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Yeah. I don't think I've ever been to 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Red We. Did a joke already and only 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Cheddar jumped in. So their fries are good. 30 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280 I've only ever had and. They're endless, so yeah. 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080 There I've only ever had like 1 burger from I think it was like 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280 a bacon cheeseburger one or something like that. 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,520 Who's who's alright, but again, I've only had it once. 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,640 Yeah, I say, but. It's hard to beat like endless 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,880 fries. Right. 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,560 Red Robins is that perfect place to go with a group of friends 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400 when you're low on cash 'cause then like a one friend or two 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,240 buys a burger and you can light it up and then you just snack on 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,440 fries the whole time. So it's that hang out. 40 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,160 They're not relatively inexpensive, just up by 41 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,880 themselves, obviously, but things like that, I would say 42 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,440 they're Yeah, because I live up the road in the Red Knob and. 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Yeah, yeah, they're like the nice thick like steak. 44 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Fries the steak fries, Yeah, and they're seasoned with like a 45 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,680 Cajun seasoning. They're really good. 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,320 They're pretty good. It's a solid fry. 47 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,840 Their burgers are borderline I'd. 48 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,160 Probably put them like at a bee tier just because I haven't had 49 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200 enough of it. But what I have had is beard and 50 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,280 A. 3rd grade draw it down to the C tier. 51 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Personally I have had quite a bit. 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,120 It's closer to me. Their burgers are they're fine. 53 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,960 It a good middle tier is good for them because yes, the fries 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,560 put them above, but that burger, because that's what they're 55 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,840 supposed to be known for, is not good enough to be known for, if 56 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040 that makes sense. I feel terrible, but it's 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,480 alright, it's alright. One time that I did have Red 58 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,240 Robin, I asked for it medium well because I like it a little 59 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,280 bit darker inside. And they brought it out and it 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,600 was well done and I was like, oh, OK, so we'll put, we can put 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840 it on the sea. And like I said on like 20 of 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,360 these, I, I do not, I've never been to these or even heard of 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,120 like this on the on the border. There's definitely a handful, 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,320 I've seen that, but I I know that they do like burritos. 65 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440 It's like a little bit more expensive burrito place. 66 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640 Bonefish Grill? I'm assuming this is what it's 67 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,520 called. Yeah, I never had that either. 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920 Never heard of it. Johnny Rockets. 69 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,040 It's a diner. I haven't had it, but I've seen 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760 it and I've heard that. I've heard it's overrated. 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280 But yeah, again. OK, Cracker Barrel. 72 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Now this one I've been to. Yes. 73 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,320 All right, I have a hot take. I hate Cracker Barrel. 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,480 Get out of here. But but, but let me let me 75 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,959 redeem myself. I hate Cracker Barrel post 76 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:24,280 alcohol being served at Cracker Barrel and I have a reason 77 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,240 beyond just the alcohol being served and me not being a 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,640 drinker. The reason for that is because 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,520 no I I think it's garbage now Before they had good food good 80 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,520 quantities at semi reasonable prices. 81 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,200 But since they started buying and distributing alcohol and 82 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,120 taxes and fees that go along with that, their food size 83 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,280 portions have gone significantly down. 84 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,360 Like significantly down. And their food quality has gone 85 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,880 down. I don't know if they're letting 86 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,120 the guys who are running the grills drink along with all the 87 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,600 customers. I don't know what the deal is 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,640 with that. But since they started serving 89 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,000 alcohol, their stuff is expensive and you get maybe half 90 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,920 the portion size. It bugs me. 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,840 I've had the exact opposite like I I think it's it's just as good 92 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,040 if not better. Go get naked. 93 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Hold on. OK, it's just good, if not, if 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080 not better than what it was like the I, I granted, I don't have 95 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,080 it a lot, but when I did, when I have had it recently, it's I 96 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,720 mean, my plate's still full and I still leave with a full belly. 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,240 And I'm, I'm not paying terrible prices. 98 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,160 I mean about what I would pay it at at Applebee's or anything 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,240 else for. I didn't, I didn't know they 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,000 were doing alcohol. They they were serving alcohol 101 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,640 now until when we went to doubt when Elias got dedicated, we 102 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,000 went, we went to end up going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and 103 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,920 I saw that that they were doing that and that was I still 104 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,040 thought everything was fine. I didn't I didn't have a problem 105 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,680 with it. For me, Cracker Barrel is is 106 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,000 definitely an answer and a just because not only do you have, 107 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,840 you know, their signature food and and and all of that, but you 108 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,960 have the atmosphere that they the the ambiance, if you will, 109 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,080 that they create with the store and the the peg game that's on 110 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,880 every table. You know, like that's become 111 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,240 their symbol. Now they finally, you know, 112 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,680 acknowledge that as their symbol. 113 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,920 But I love it. I wish I could go to Cracker 114 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,360 Barrel more often. Hackers. 115 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,040 And which? Oh, sorry, no. 116 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Go ahead, buddy. I was going to say I wish that 117 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,960 there was more in Iowa, but I think there's only one in 118 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,200 Davenport. There's one. 119 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,280 There's one like there's. One in Des Moines. 120 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,840 The I think the one in Des Moines closed down a couple of 121 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:52,120 years ago. Maybe I thought there was one 122 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,360 like an hour, about an hour away from where, where we're at right 123 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,880 now, Danny. That's a penis. 124 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,560 OK, Davenport. Davenport, Kauai, OK. 125 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480 Clive, that was the other one I was thinking of, Council Bluffs. 126 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,560 And Council Bluffs, So basically just along I-35 essentially. 127 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,440 Yeah. Or I-20? 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280 No, which is? Unfortunate because I love it 129 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560 now. Do I want one in in Fort Dodge? 130 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920 No, because it would get ruined. Yeah, it would. 131 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,640 It really would. So. 132 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,600 There'd be crackheads rocking the rocking chairs outside. 133 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,120 You're right, you know there wouldn't be any rocking chairs. 134 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,520 They'd all be stolen. Be. 135 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,000 Stolen, yeah. So for me, one of definitely an 136 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,760 A tier. Like it's just, it's near and 137 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520 dear to my heart. The, the one time that I've had 138 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,280 it was when me and Sam went to Illinois for that Smash 139 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,320 tournament and we stayed at Bob's dad's house. 140 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,960 We had it with him and his girlfriend at the time and it 141 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,160 was really good. I had the, oh, what was it? 142 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,640 It was like some kind of like, like chicken and gravy with like 143 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800 crackers like crushed over it. It was really good. 144 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Heck yeah. And then your dad paid for it. 145 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,760 But then I was like, no, I pay for everyone's food. 146 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,920 But he paid for it. And then that following morning, 147 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,760 we got breakfast at a diner and I paid for everyone with for 148 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,080 your dad. And he looked at me. 149 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280 He was like, really? And I was like, yeah. 150 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,440 Now see my dad, my dad's fine, like he'll be OK. 151 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,320 But my my father-in-law, if you try to pay for something when 152 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,440 he's trying to pay for it, he won't straight up get. 153 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,480 Mad. He'll get real mad. 154 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,520 He'll get mad and I didn't know that like I wow, because angry. 155 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,520 Imagine getting angry over paying for a bill. 156 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,280 Like I understand, like I understand being chivalrous or 157 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,360 even hey, I'm taking you out. This is my treat and being stern 158 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,000 about it, like getting angry late. 159 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,040 So if we average out everyone's responses. 160 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,880 I mean, yeah, I, I would say I really like Cracker Barrel for 161 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,000 what it once was in the country. Story is always phenomenal. 162 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,200 Always phenomenal, Yeah. Expensive. 163 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Yeah, I mean sometimes not. I got a Stetson flat top flat 164 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,240 cap at a cracker barrel for like 8 bucks on sale and it's a nice 165 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840 one. It's not like like fabric or 166 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,680 just cruddy fabric or anything. I'm assuming you guys have never 167 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:41,200 had Buca or Maggiano's? Nope. 168 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,360 OK IHOP then, the one with all the one legged waitresses. 169 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,320 S tier. I'm I I messed with some IHOP 170 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,360 man? S tier. 171 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,160 Love IHOP. There's something else on this 172 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,000 list that is above IHOP, in my opinion, that's similar. 173 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,560 So for me, IHOP is definitely AB tier. 174 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,480 I've had pretty mediocre experiences at ihops. 175 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,800 The food's always, well, not always, but the, the, you know 176 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,200 you, you know what you're getting, right? 177 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,000 It's you're going there for the breakfast. 178 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,120 You're not really going there for their burgers. 179 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880 No. They they did make like a really 180 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,720 big push for their burgers a couple years ago and they were 181 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,360 all right. They weren't like earth 182 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,240 shatteringly amazing, but I mean, you know what you're going 183 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,200 there to get? You're going there to get 184 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,560 pancakes. And publish some eggs. 185 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,440 Definitely some eggs. But it's it's scrambler for me, 186 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,280 it's a solid B tier. But obviously it sounds like 187 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,200 we've got some other opinions. It has changed a little bit over 188 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,960 the years. I did. 189 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,960 I did hit the one up that's up in Algona and it it's just a 190 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,760 truck stop 1. So it's not that great. 191 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,240 It it really wasn't all that good. 192 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,080 It it I was like, man, I remember IHOP being so much 193 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,240 better than this. The only I I don't think I've 194 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,600 ever had IHOP I, I the only breakfast food food place that's 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,240 like in this genre of restaurants, same as IHOP is 196 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Perkins. And Perkins was garbage in Fort 197 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,920 Dodge. We hit that. 198 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,000 Up. It was not great. 199 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,920 Yeah, yeah, I'm much more a village in guy speaking that for 200 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,120 Dodge language. I much prefer Village Inn. 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Well, yeah. Yeah, I think. 202 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,800 Village is better. That's very similar. 203 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,240 And to me that one's the best out of all of them. 204 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,440 But yeah, we'll, we'll wait for that one to come up. 205 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,520 OK. So high, low B, high C, Yeah, 206 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,400 probably be. Happy with it. 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,360 I would personally IHOP and I'm one of those people who's very 208 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,520 with my choices. I'm the best way to describe it 209 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,960 is I don't think I'm autistic, but with my choices, I'm 210 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,720 autistic. I'll latch on to something 211 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,960 really strongly. And let me tell you something. 212 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,160 I would have hammered IHOP right into a tier, no question. 213 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,080 Back when they had their stuffed French toast, it was phenomenal. 214 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,040 I loved their stuffed French toast, honest. 215 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,840 The rest of the food honestly seemed mediocre to me. 216 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,000 It wasn't, it was at best, but the stuffed French toast was 217 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,800 just so. I would grade IHOP since they 218 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,160 got rid of it at more of AD because the rest of their food 219 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,080 really has isn't above AC for me personally. 220 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,280 Like I have other preferences that are similar to IHOP that 221 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,440 are on this list that are much better choices for sure. 222 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,120 We'll put it at high C for now then like if it if C ends up 223 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,880 having like a lot, I'll bump it out to B. 224 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,040 OK, Pluck pluckers, wing bar. Never heard of it. 225 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,600 No the. Sign looks familiar but I've 226 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,720 never had it. Yeah, I've never had it either. 227 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,040 The Cheesecake Factory. I only know this from a viral 228 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,680 video of this guy taking his date out to The Cheesecake 229 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,120 Factory and she's not happy. Best here. 230 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,720 So it's expensive though, so it kind of brings it down to an A, 231 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,480 honestly. So Joe, and obviously you dad 232 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,800 are are freaks about this place. You don't like it? 233 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,640 It's fine, but when I paid $90.00 for four people to eat? 234 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,520 No, that's what I'm saying. It, it, it the, the, the price 235 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,320 is definitely you, you get a good, I think you get a good 236 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,120 quality, you know, food and whatnot, but like quality. 237 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,680 And great portions. Oh my goodness, the portions are 238 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:22,240 monstrous. But you're paying out the butt 239 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,560 for it, you. Really are. 240 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,760 So yeah, I would, I would agree that if it wasn't for the price, 241 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,720 they would they're they, they're probably more of an A or B, 242 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,600 maybe even high B. I'm I'm a I'm a stickler for 243 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880 price as well, so I could be. I've only ever had the 244 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,040 cheesecake there because I've never been able to afford the 245 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,800 food and their cheesecake sizes are huge. 246 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,880 They're huge now, their cheesecake. 247 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,160 Is right. The cheesecake is pretty good. 248 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,360 I wouldn't give it mom and pop bakery level good or homemade 249 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640 cheesecake good, But for the restaurant, they've got some 250 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,960 pretty good cheesecake. Good for them, since they're 251 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,440 called The Cheesecake Factory, you know? 252 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Yeah. It helps. 253 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,840 Oh wait, I just remember where else I've heard it on The Big 254 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,360 Bang Theory. The thing I really don't like 255 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,680 about it. Yep, anywhere this. 256 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,160 Is kind of a nitpicky thing. I don't like it when I get a 257 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,680 menu and it's like 6 pages. Yeah, OK. 258 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,920 I like. I like the. 259 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,000 Menu to be like one, maybe 2, like if it's a lunch and then 260 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,840 like a a breakfast, you know, I guess. 261 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480 That that makes that kind of makes sense if it's like it's. 262 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400 It's so much to choose from, then it's like I don't know what 263 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,200 to pick from and I feel. Like that has to drive up the 264 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,520 prices overall because you have to be. 265 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,400 So part of the buy so many ingredients for so many 266 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,360 different things. Well, yeah, you do. 267 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,920 But like the more I feel like, and, and I've I've not run a 268 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,640 restaurant, so you know, I could be incorrect about this, but I 269 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,600 feel like the more things, more items you have on your menu, the 270 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,760 more opportunities you have for waste. 271 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,760 And so your price has to reflect that because if you have waste 272 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,680 like the customers have to pay for it because otherwise you're 273 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,600 not making money as a business. Right. 274 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,840 Yeah, they're trying to be competitive with everything and 275 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,280 that's fine. But you know, like their Italian 276 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,600 food is great, but then they've got like Tex Mex food as well. 277 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,360 They've got some Asian cuisines. They've got classic. 278 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,040 They did it's it's a mixture of everything. 279 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,280 It's like pick one thing and. I did notice that, yeah, they 280 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,120 didn't like like Cracker Barrel is their, their whole, you know. 281 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,640 Country food, pretty much. Yeah, their motif is country 282 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,160 style food, whereas, you know, Cracker Barrel like or not 283 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320 Cracker Barrel, Cheesecake Factory, like you, I would 284 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,680 notice that like looking at their menu, I was like, wow, 285 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,160 like pick something. It's like they took a 12 gauge 286 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,280 of bird shot and went boom. Yeah, yeah, a little bit of 287 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,000 everything but cheesecake though, you know, I mean. 288 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,400 Yeah, yeah, cheesecake, you know. 289 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,040 So solid B Yeah, it's just the prices. 290 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,760 Yeah. Red Red Lobster so much. 291 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,160 Dude you go they have endless shrimp every. 292 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,360 It's either Monday or Tuesday. I will hammer so much shrimp on 293 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,120 endless shrimp day. I love Red Lobster. 294 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,080 And Red Lobster and I loved as a kid. 295 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,720 I haven't been there in probably 20. 296 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,120 Well, not 20, probably 10:10, 10-12 years, something like 297 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,200 that. Reading they put on their 298 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,760 shrimp. Fantastic. 299 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,480 Oh, their biscuits. They had those butter. 300 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,400 Oh, the biscuits. Now when I was a kid, Red 301 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,240 Lobster was like was almost like a black Thai restaurant, like it 302 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,680 was high end. It's not that way anymore. 303 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,160 No, in fact, actually they're under new management because 304 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,080 they were losing money. Yeah, they were going down. 305 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,640 But the the new guy like absolutely loves it. 306 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,880 So like they've got, they've got like lobster Mac and cheese now 307 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,600 and like they're, they're definitely elevating the 308 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,000 business. I've I've recently I've only had 309 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360 it once on an endless shrimp day and it's one of the two 310 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,360 restaurants that actually gave me food poisoning. 311 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,680 Oh, I'm so sorry. Wow. 312 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Yeah, if you get the wrong Red Lobster, especially because it's 313 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,040 seafood, yeah, it'll mess you up. 314 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,560 Yeah, you got to be careful with. 315 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,000 It's the danger of seafood and especially like like Danny said, 316 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,480 previous Red Lobster was very much kind of like it was 317 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,839 sinking. So but I put it at the best. 318 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,440 Can there only be 1 the best? No. 319 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,400 That can be you're the best. How about that? 320 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440 Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Our best? 321 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,599 Oh, OK. Yeah, when that was where I 322 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,480 tried shark, I had deep fried shark one time. 323 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,560 How much was where the? Stranger told me to come into 324 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,120 the alley. I'm assuming no one has ever had 325 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,920 Del Fridisco's grill. Nope, never heard of them. 326 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,160 Never heard of it. OK, what about the corner 327 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,440 bakery? I've heard of I've heard of it 328 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,560 from like ATV show. Never seen one in real life One. 329 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,240 Of those places that's owned by a cult. 330 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000 OK, All right. BJ's. 331 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,920 I love a good BJ. Oh, the restaurant never had it. 332 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,840 Yeah, never had. Never heard of it. 333 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Yeah, what's that next one? Carbonara. 334 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,360 They're garbage. They're garbage. 335 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:06,920 Never heard of. I had it once and I'll never go 336 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,000 back. It's Carrabba's. 337 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,600 Carrabba's is what? Yeah, Carrabba's whatever. 338 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Yeah, it's garbage. I know the sign. 339 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000 I'm having flashbacks. It's like Nomic all over again, 340 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,520 except they. Didn't. 341 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:33,480 Have it in. Vietnam. 342 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:43,960 Excellent. Crab. 343 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,800 Excellent seafood. You're not paying a whole lot 344 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840 for it either. So that that's nice too. 345 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,920 For me, it's probably a seat here just because I've only ever 346 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,440 had it like once or twice. OK, I think if you if you if you 347 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,200 like Red Lobster, you'd probably like Joe's Crab Shake. 348 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,800 Probably. More than likely. 349 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:05,520 Applebee's tried and true basic Applebee's on our opinion the 350 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,920 best for the best first date place you could go. 351 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,160 That is a solid first date place. 352 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Not super expensive but good food, delicious and a nice sit 353 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080 down place where you can talk and it's not too loud. 354 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,240 Solid date place. Danny and I went on many a dates 355 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320 to Applebee's during college, no? 356 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,760 I'm not kidding. We got the two. 357 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,440 No, no, we got the two for 20. We sipped each other's 358 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,320 margaritas. It was. 359 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,520 You go there, if you go there after nine, yeah, 9:00 you got 360 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,800 the proper apps and you just get an appetizer plate, right? 361 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,720 Yeah. Their appetizers are good I 362 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,360 honestly. Think B or A like. 363 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,920 It's I give them AB or an 8 here. 364 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,360 Yeah. If I would give it AB personally 365 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,680 just because it's a solid good. If you're selling in nostalgia 366 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,920 factor then definitely an A because again. 367 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,920 I'm saying solid B just because, like, the food's good, but it's 368 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,120 not like knock your socks off, no. 369 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,520 Right, but it is. Good. 370 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240 If you're wanting a good meal that you know is going to be 371 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,800 good, you'll go to Applebee's. Yeah. 372 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,920 Right, knowing what you're going to get. 373 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,960 I. Can't say that's another thing 374 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720 too. It's really consistent. 375 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,720 Yeah, Yeah, I don't. You're always going to know what 376 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,640 you're getting. Yeah. 377 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,000 Right. And like the one here in Fort 378 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,720 Dodge, you always know every couple years it's going to catch 379 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,480 fire. Well, yeah, that goes without 380 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,040 saying, all right. The next one is called Benihana. 381 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,680 Oh, Benihana's. Benihana's I've never been 382 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,160 there. So it's like it's hibachi. 383 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,200 So you sit down and the guy's coming from me and everything 384 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,640 else. I mean if you like Japanese 385 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120 food. Like Rice and Des Moines, you. 386 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Like rice if you like teriyaki chicken, like things like that. 387 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,520 Yeah, it's pretty good. So wait, it's a I've never been 388 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,320 to a hibachi, but I've been to a Mongolian BBQ. 389 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000 Those are great. Which, well, that's essentially 390 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,840 the same thing, except you get up and take your food to the guy 391 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,320 to cook on the grill rather than he's right at your table. 392 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,360 Yeah, but anyway, I love a Mongolian BBQ. 393 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,560 I can't imagine I would hate a hibachi. 394 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,480 Yeah, no, you, you'd probably like it if you liked what we had 395 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,320 here in Fort Dodge as far as the hibachi. 396 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,880 You would like this because. Never been to a hibachi? 397 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,360 It's. What's the at your? 398 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040 It's at your table. What's the one in Des Moines 399 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,480 that's that's really good? Fuji you Fuji. 400 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,120 Fuji. Yeah. 401 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,240 Fuji. Yeah. 402 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,440 I've never been there, but my mom has and she said it was 403 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,400 really good. It's. 404 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,680 Been great. If I remember right it was a 405 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,640 little on the pricier side, but like you were getting these 406 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,840 massive portions. I I it's for me it's a solid B 407 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,040 OK, if it was a little cheaper it'd probably be higher, but it 408 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,720 wasn't bad. OK, that's French. 409 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,280 I'm not even going to try. Yeah. 410 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Is that boomer? Boomer Jack's Grill. 411 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480 Never heard of it. OK, no. 412 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,360 Pei Wei. Do you want me to? 413 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,600 I've heard, I've heard of Pei Wei. 414 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,440 I've never been OK. PF Chang's. 415 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,240 Oh yeah, never been. They're well known, very well 416 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,880 known, but I've never been. Good mall, think I've been. 417 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,680 Your typical. Secondary. 418 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,720 Chinese. PF Chang's at the mall in Fort 419 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,480 Dodge, didn't they? It wasn't a PF Chang's, but it 420 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,120 was basically was. OK, Yeah. 421 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,120 Yeah, it's your mall. Your mall, Chinese food. 422 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,800 It's a seat here. You're probably. 423 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,800 Yeah. You're going to get sick from 424 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,880 eating it. You'll definitely probably poop 425 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,520 your pants for a while. Your pants for a while and then 426 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,000 you'll come back and you'll. You're not leaving, you know, 427 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,440 hungry. Yeah. 428 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,040 All right. Texas. 429 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,240 I've been so many of those and I've never been to one. 430 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440 I've seen tons of them. Like a Texas. 431 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,600 I honestly don't know. I have no idea. 432 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,440 I think it's a steakhouse almost like Outback Steakhouse, not 433 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,360 quite Texas, Brazil. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 434 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,440 like it's like Texas Roadhouse or Outback Steakhouse, but like 435 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,520 Brazilian steakhouse type thing. Ruby Tuesday never had it. 436 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,960 It's been a really long time since I've been to a Ruby 437 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Tuesday's. You're going kind of with the 438 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,280 Red Robin, but more expensive with Ruby Tuesdays. 439 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,560 Well, have they? It doesn't exist. 440 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,480 Yeah, there's one of the. I mean, it must be privately 441 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,680 owned. TJI Fridays, same thing they're 442 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,200 getting out of here. Oh, are they? 443 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,880 Yeah. They're filed for bankruptcy 444 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,160 like a couple years ago I think. Oh yeah, TJI Fridays used to be 445 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,040 the stuff. Ruby Tuesday always had a a like 446 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,480 their, their big thing was they had a salad bar with just, you 447 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,160 know, all different sorts of salads, you know, that you could 448 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,600 get with your meal if you wanted. 449 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,000 So. Ruby Tuesday is still in 450 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,520 existence since 2020. OK, so there's there's one, 451 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:54,880 right? OK. 452 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,120 That was one of my that was one of my dad's favorite places to 453 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,000 go. Down the street was Ruby 454 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,360 Tuesday's. We did go. 455 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,520 There, it's not bad. Yeah, I went once because I saw 456 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,720 on TV they had this colossal burger and it was massive. 457 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,960 I don't recall it being anything special aside from massive. 458 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,760 I'd put it at a nice at AD or C. It's forgettable. 459 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,240 Would be my best. OK, I've been there a couple 460 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,280 times. It's forgettable D or C, not 461 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,800 because it's bad, it's just it doesn't stick out and you're 462 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,480 paying extra for it. So you're just kind of like, oh, 463 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,480 what else? OK, this one is actually very 464 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,760 polarizing because Buffalo Wild Wings. 465 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,520 Either it is like really good or it's terrible. 466 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,920 They can be in the same, they can be in the same location. 467 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,240 Right. Yeah, they can be not. 468 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,720 Consistent and it'll be great and it'll be terrible. 469 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,480 Yeah, I've I've not had a bad experience at at a, at A and 470 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,320 I've been to a few. I've not had a bad experience at 471 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,560 AB Dubs. I went to, I've been, I've been 472 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,080 to a few like I like. I've been to the one in Fort 473 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480 Dodge. I've been the one in Ames, I've 474 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:12,520 been to one in, it's not, it's not Altoona, Algona. 475 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,440 I've been in the one there because it's right across the 476 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,040 street from the, the local, the Yu-gi-oh locals that I go to. 477 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,440 And I've been there a lot. But one of my friends got one or 478 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,440 we went there. But one of my friends, you know, 479 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,600 we got the regular, like each of us gets like 10 and then we 480 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,560 split it half and half. I always try something I tried. 481 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,600 I try something new like I always get one that I like and 482 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,000 that's the garlic Parmesan and then the. 483 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,640 Great choice, yeah. And then the second one, the 484 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,400 like second-half, I always try to like do something new. 485 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,400 But the one of the last times that me and my friend went there 486 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,280 his his wings were raw. Oh no. 487 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,120 Like the inside of them were still like cold and raw. 488 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,640 Oh, I've heard of that happening quite a bit. 489 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,080 That's not good at all. I've never had that happen. 490 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,240 I Their sauces are iconic, I think. 491 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,000 I think their sauces take them, take take them to a place higher 492 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,880 than what the restaurant really deserves because so I'm not a 493 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,520 huge fan of sports bars just because of the noise and all of 494 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,880 the interaction. It's it's it's almost at times 495 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,200 overwhelming. I can. 496 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,560 I like the vibe of sports bars. Yeah, and some people do. 497 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,760 I just don't. I I get overwhelmed easily, you 498 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,160 know? Same way. 499 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,040 No, I get you. I'm the same way. 500 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,120 But I, I don't think it's terrible that I, I'll tell you 501 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:40,440 what I love is I love getting B dubs for take out, Yes. 502 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,560 The take out's great. I don't care for the vibe of the 503 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560 restaurant in of itself, but I love their, I love their food. 504 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,040 I love their wings. We used to when we were in 505 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,680 Indiana and we would have to work late on Tuesday or 506 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,840 Wednesday, whatever night it was. 507 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,160 They had like half price boneless wings and we'd get 508 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,520 them, we'd get them all the time. 509 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,960 And it was I, I loved that that was, that was nice. 510 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:08,760 OK, Yeah, no, I guess it's it's not, that's not always bad, but 511 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,000 I've definitely had a several bad experience maybe with them. 512 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:23,200 So with B dubs the best thing I can say is if you want A, for 513 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:28,120 the most part, most of the time solid A wing house, sure, 514 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,360 especially if it's your only option. 515 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,960 Whereas since I moved to Missouri I have a wing stop I 516 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,320 have not looked at back at B dub since. 517 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,400 Wing stop is great. They're not sports bar vibes. 518 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,760 You pick up, you take out. That's pretty much their vibe 519 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,760 and it's perfect. And their wings are so good. 520 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,920 They're great. And so B dubs it'd be AD for me 521 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,240 personally. That's just me. 522 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,960 Like bad, but if there's another wing place available I'll go to 523 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,360 the other one before I go to B Dubs. 524 00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:02,640 I'll me personally I'll go to Pizza Hut for wings before I'll 525 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,920 go to B dubs. Yeah, I would. 526 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,280 I would go to Jethro's BBQ for their wings or Jethro's I. 527 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,320 Would I'll mess up some Jethro BBQ wings? 528 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,840 We should go to the one in Ames. Talking to Dangerous. 529 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,720 I'm Buffalo somewhere. Thanks. 530 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,640 Guys, I'm happy with the D tier on it personally. 531 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,960 Yeah, yeah, I think they deserve more of AC, but I'm that's fine. 532 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,920 In my opinion, they deserve no more than AC just because of how 533 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,840 inconsistent they are. Correct. 534 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,680 I could agree with that. I got you there, I think. 535 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,600 Low C ID. OK, I can't even read this. 536 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760 California Pizza Kitchen. California Pizza. 537 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,400 Kitchen. Skip it. 538 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,360 It's a pizza place. People seem to love it. 539 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,560 I've had it and it's they're fine. 540 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,160 I give them AD like Buffalo wings. 541 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,840 Like the price of their pizza at their restaurant is stupid 542 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,840 expensive. It's enough to make it an F tier 543 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,120 because then you bite into it and you're like wow, I could 544 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,960 have had a better pizza if I bought a Totino's at the Dollar 545 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,280 Tree. Cool. 546 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,920 It's not even that they're that their pizza's bad, it's just not 547 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,680 worth what they're charging for it. 548 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,600 You pay $40.00 for a medium, your average medium sized pizza. 549 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,720 Yes, you can get it with the cauliflower crust and all these 550 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,400 extras in that, but again, it's not enough to make the pizza 551 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,440 better or worth 40. Anywhere near $40.00 for a 552 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,560 medium sized pizza when I could go to the smallest medium sized 553 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,400 pizza that's out there is Domino's. 554 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,800 And I could go there and get a actually a good quality medium 555 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,680 pizza. It's smaller, not my favorite 556 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,320 because of that, but it's it tastes good and it's worth the 557 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,720 what? The $15 each spent on it. 558 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,480 Yeah. Plus it's stuffed crust now. 559 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240 I think the California Pizza Kitchen doesn't do stuffed crust 560 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,400 all right. Cheddar scratch kitchen. 561 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Now I gotta say I didn't realize I I need a suit guys for 562 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,480 likeness infringement. I'm always. 563 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,760 Stealing my name. I've only ever had it Walter 564 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,120 twice. I'm pretty sure. 565 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure we've. Been. 566 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,680 I had it one time. I had it one time driving 567 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,320 through a place with Michaela. We stopped and we ate. 568 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,720 I absolutely loved it. She loved it. 569 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,320 It was phenomenal food, not bad prices. 570 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,520 I have not been able to find one since driving 2 places. 571 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,560 It like disappeared. It disappeared almost like 572 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,840 obviously it didn't but it seems that way so we haven't been able 573 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,760 to be back. But Michaela still goes. 574 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,840 We should look for a Cheddar's anywhere close by. 575 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,800 I want Cheddar's and we've only had it the one time so I would 576 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,400 give it a solid B Personal. Personally, I'd give it a B. 577 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,440 ABLT from one time and I've had like a club sandwich from one 578 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,200 time. Fantastic. 579 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,680 Absolutely. Fantastic. 580 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,360 I mean, and the the fries and everything, they were great. 581 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,600 I think like my grandma had like soup or whatever and that looks 582 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,120 good. Me, it's a solid B tier and I 583 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,240 wish there were more around. Yeah, I had a salmon. 584 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,960 It was a nice big piece of salmon, like steak, and it had a 585 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,920 mango, avocado, lime chutney on top. 586 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,120 Oh, it was amazing. It was like a dinner time 587 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,280 special. They were running at that 588 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120 specific place. I think it is so good. 589 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,280 What? Were you saying to? 590 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,360 Amazing. There's there's one in Branson, 591 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,440 which I think is. The closest, really. 592 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,200 Yeah, there's in Branson, Springfield, Yeah, all the rest 593 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,200 of them are further north in the state, but I think the closest 594 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,640 one to you is is in. Branson or Jefferson? 595 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,080 Yeah. Yeah, looks. 596 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,560 Like we'll have to. We'll have to go. 597 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,760 There's apparently one in Cedar Rapids that's the closest one to 598 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,040 us. It's not bad. 599 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,760 There's one in Iowa City as well. 600 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,440 Let's go. They close at like 11. 601 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760 We can make it. That's a. 602 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,680 Three hour drive for you all right. 603 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,880 I'm making an hour and 1/2 for Cheddar's. 604 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000 Chili's man, let me tell ya. I like Chili's. 605 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,040 Hi, welcome to Chili's. The the the triple Dipper, you 606 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,920 guys ever heard of that? Yeah, I don't know. 607 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,920 I have. Like this, this platter you can 608 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,160 get OK. You get like I thought is when 609 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,720 you kept pulling out of 1 hole and going into the other. 610 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,080 Nope. So it's. 611 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,520 Dumb. Oh, wait, no. 612 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,120 Jeez, you can you can kind of pick what you want on it, but 613 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200 the best thing to get on there, they have like these sliders. 614 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,200 OK, so you get like I think it's like 2 or 3 sliders. 615 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,160 Their Mott sticks aren't like sticks. 616 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,200 They're like bricks like this big. 617 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,440 You can get them covered in like Nashville hot sauce. 618 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,960 Oh, oh, that. Seems like that and tasty. 619 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,880 And then you have like, they have a Southwest egg roll. 620 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,480 Oh man. I want Chili's. 621 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,040 Chili's. Is great. 622 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,200 We've been there a few times, I remember. 623 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,440 But that's the best thing on the list by far. 624 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,800 But it's definitely an 8 tier for me. 625 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,520 And pull it down just because Michaela. 626 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,560 It's one of Michaela. It was one of Michaela's 627 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,760 favorite sit down restaurants. Almost almost once a week 628 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,040 afterwards, you like, can we go to Chili's? 629 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,160 Yeah, of course. We can get the chips, we can get 630 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,680 the salsa. They got decent food. 631 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,200 It may just be the Chili's in my area, but one time we went 632 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,520 there, the portion sizes were so small. 633 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,200 Normal Chili's prices, they were like half sized, if that. 634 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,640 They were so small. And Michaela paid extra for a 635 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,520 side of quote UN quote sauteed mushrooms. 636 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,920 They were canned mushrooms. You could smell the canned 637 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,640 flavor off of them. Like they didn't saute them, 638 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,160 they didn't cook them. They just slapped them on her 639 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,760 plate. And we paid $5 extra for that 640 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,600 premium quote UN quote side. And I was like, you know, after 641 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,040 that I will never go to a Chili's again. 642 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,240 And it might just be the one here because like, if that sort 643 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,840 of Chili's is I'm done with it. I it was ruin me on Chili's. 644 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,480 Every So I've been to Chili's a handful of times. 645 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,280 To me it's, it's, it's like Applebee's and the fact that you 646 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,080 know what you're going to get out of them, but it's a step 647 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,600 above Applebee's in my opinion. But I've, again, I've never had 648 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,600 an experience like you've you've had with them, Alex. 649 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,440 Right. It was bad and it was literally 650 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,199 one of Michaela's, one of the cheaper sit down restaurants. 651 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,560 She won't she won't go back to it ever again. 652 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:33,040 It ruined her. It went from favorite to 653 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,080 completely ruined after that one meal. 654 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,600 It was that bad. So I was just like, oh, OK, we 655 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,600 paid. It was it ended up with tip 656 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,960 because I always tip my waiter. It's not their fault if the food 657 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,080 is bad. It ended up being over $50 and I 658 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600 was still hungry and I don't feel hungry ever. 659 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,840 So yeah, it was pretty. It was pretty. 660 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,639 Chuck e cheese. Chuck e cheese. 661 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,320 Oh. Man. 662 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,280 OK, are we doing actually how it tastes or nostalgia? 663 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,480 Nostalgia is gets me. I think it's nostalgia. 664 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,050 Gets me because I can't. I haven't been to a Chuck, Chuck 665 00:35:07,053 --> 00:35:09,200 E Cheese. The last time I went to a Chuck 666 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,160 e cheese, I think it was 12 years old and I was over it then 667 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,400 too. I know. 668 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,320 I. Loved it as a kid. 669 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,800 When I was a kid, Chuck e cheese was like the goal. 670 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,680 It was the dream place. Yeah, as a kid. 671 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,560 So we never went. It was always that, but we never 672 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,840 were able to go. Though is. 673 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:34,680 Questionable. So all all they serve there is 674 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,360 pizza. As far as I remember, there's a 675 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,080 big a couple years ago. Yeah. 676 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:45,000 As far as like they reuse old pizza because none of the cuts 677 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,480 line up right on a pizza, Yeah. I I I heard that. 678 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,640 As a kid, you don't care. It's like pizza and games. 679 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,840 Yeah. Yeah, no doubt. 680 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,920 Today I probably wouldn't be caught dead eating it, but so. 681 00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:03,080 You got cums disease too. I guarantee you Chuck E Cheese 682 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,000 pizza would probably tear a hole in your bowels like alien style 683 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,400 even like. Except it's it's it's the. 684 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,560 What's his name? Chester Mouse or whatever. 685 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,080 Oh man, maybe I forget now. I don't think it's Chester, but 686 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,360 I think it's I thought Chester was the was the Tito guy. 687 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,600 Oh, maybe, I don't know. Yeah. 688 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,720 Chucky is the mouse. It's Chucky. 689 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, 'cause there's Mitzi, I think was the, was the 690 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,920 girl mouse that was the cheerleader. 691 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,800 So for me as as a kid, I I feel like it was better back in the 692 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,520 80s. I think it's went really far 693 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,720 downhill, but they served pasta back then. 694 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,440 It just wasn't a big thing. Everybody went there to play the 695 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,960 video games and eat some pizza. Bring Mcallister's back down, 696 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,800 Cheddar. Thank you. 697 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,720 OK, OK.

That's fine. 700 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,000 Yeah, I think that I haven't seen one in years for. 701 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,360 Nostalgic purposes as a nostalgic thing. 702 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,160 When I was a kid definitely the best, but now F is totally fair. 703 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,720 OK, Denny's. Denny's is an A tier. 704 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,440 I'm always love Denny's. Yep. 705 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,520 Solid. It's cheap, it's good. 706 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,320 And it's. Good. 707 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,320 Their coffee is so good. Coffee. 708 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,120 They're coffee, salad and salad. Grants. 709 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,000 And that's hard to find. You're done. 710 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,720 And then they have like the specialty pancakes every once in 711 00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,600 a while. If they ever have their cinnamon 712 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,720 roll pancakes out, you've got to get them. 713 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,560 They are to die for. Denny's. 714 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,280 I'll give it an A tier. I love Denny's. 715 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,600 Love me some Denny's. I have no idea what that is. 716 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,040 Chewy's Tex. Mex Chuck and Chewy's never 717 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,800 heard of it. Probably taste like Tex mex. 718 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,560 OK, Golden Corral. Oh yes. 719 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,960 Batman's dream right here. I like the rolls. 720 00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:02,720 The rolls are great. Yeah. 721 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,720 Whenever they have like the the guy cutting the meat or 722 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:09,560 whatever, that's always good. Oh yeah, the roast beef. 723 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,520 Yeah, roast beef or whatever, I don't know. 724 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,720 Whatever that meat is. Yeah, it's, it's a buffet, 725 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,400 right? You're, you know what you're 726 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,480 going into when you go in there and we'll see. 727 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,680 The last time I went in, which is a couple weeks ago, I got 728 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,280 kind of sick after him there, but down at Omaha. 729 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,400 Oh, OK. But I don't know if it was 730 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,520 because of how much I ate or what I ate. 731 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,400 That's. Fair, I've I've personally never 732 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,360 been to 1 so you. Say I don't like Golden Corral 733 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,240 personally. They used to have 104 Dodge, so 734 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,840 you you're, you're not paying a lot and you're getting all the 735 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,440 food that you want. They got a ton of dessert and 736 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,120 they've got everything ranging from Mexican food to Asian food 737 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,160 to American food. To soul food To a salad bar. 738 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,680 To me, it's probably AB ish tier, but you know what you're 739 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,560 getting when you go there. It's a buffet. 740 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,440 It's probably going to be kids running around and it's going to 741 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:11,080 be a little sticky, but you're just slopping that plate or 742 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,440 you're. Slopping so it's it's no 743 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,280 different than McDonald's. Yeah, no, definitely a little 744 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,920 better than McDonald's. I'm not a big golden crab 745 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,040 person. If we put it in the FT or I 746 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,720 wouldn't be upset with that. It always tastes. 747 00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,560 It always tastes fake to me personally. 748 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,400 I mean, there are. Some things that taste out of a. 749 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,600 Lot of people really love it. A lot of people do. 750 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,520 And that's one of the restaurants where I don't 751 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,120 begrudge people for loving it. It's like, it's your thing. 752 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,560 Cool. There are restaurants when 753 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,760 you're like, I don't understand how you could possibly love this 754 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,680 Golden Corral. It's a buffet, so it's hard not 755 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,200 to love a buffet, especially like Danny said, good price, all 756 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,160 the food you can eat. I just can't stomach the the the 757 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,480 flavor of 99% of the food, personally. 758 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,280 That's fair. What does that say? 759 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,640 Granaldi's I Can't OK Hard Rock Cafe. 760 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,880 Never had it. Never had it. 761 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,840 I've heard of it. I've never had it. 762 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,040 I've. Heard it's great Hooters. 763 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,000 Never been to Hooters. Never been to tell. 764 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,600 You something, they got some great chicken breasts. 765 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,640 Hold the chicken. I've only been there. 766 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,360 Once, but I was only like 4. Honestly, I've never been. 767 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,280 I do, I have heard that like their chicken wings are great. 768 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,800 I yeah, I have heard they're good. 769 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,440 I. Heard they switched owners and 770 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,240 that their food has gone downhill since and that was 771 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,440 quite a while ago. That was like 5 to 10 years. 772 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,960 They filed for bankruptcy. I don't know if it was 11 or 13 773 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,200 there. We go never heard or had Dave 774 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,840 and Buster's. I've heard of this one. 775 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,080 I've. Heard of it, never been there. 776 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,400 Never been there. It it's a lot of fun. 777 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,960 Think Chuck E Cheese, but. For adult Chuck E Cheese, yeah. 778 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,560 See, that's what I heard. So they've got like burgers and 779 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,440 stuff like that. They've got chicken wings. 780 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,200 They're all pretty good. And I mean you, you've got like 781 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,200 your classic arcade setting with it. 782 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,120 So I mean, it's hard not to love all of them kind of mixed 783 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,200 together. They are a little bit more on 784 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,640 the pricier side. You. 785 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,600 Are getting what you pay for and the fact that, like, you're not 786 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,680 going there by yourself, You're going there with a group of 787 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,640 people, your friends, you're going to eat good food and 788 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,360 you're going to just play a bunch of games. 789 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,600 Yeah. I've I've heard that, sorry. 790 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,840 Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. No, I've, I've just heard that 791 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,120 some of them have some of the like the old like 80s and 90s 792 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,920 arcade games, which would make it much more. 793 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,000 I don't really like a lot of the ones they have out today. 794 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,600 There's there's. They're not like what they used 795 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,200 to be. Yeah, like they've got like a 796 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,360 lot of like the, the what was that one that we House of the 797 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,200 Dead and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 798 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,160 Yeah, the House of the dead, yeah. 799 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,800 For me, it's probably like a low B, high C just because you are 800 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,320 paying a little bit more, but it you're not going there for the 801 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,120 food in particular you're going there for. 802 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,080 A good time. Yeah. 803 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,680 Would you say IHOP is better or worse? 804 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,480 Depends on the time of day you're going to IHOP. 805 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,800 I don't know that those don't really compare because Dave and 806 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,480 Buster's offer something different. 807 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,000 I I feel like I. Guess that's I guess that's 808 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,600 true. I I don't know. 809 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,440 It's a it's a different atmosphere for sure. 810 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,280 I would think. I haven't been there. 811 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,080 All right, Mcallister's, Denny's Deli and. 812 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,480 Mcallister's is a great sandwich shop. 813 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,160 They have this sandwich called A New Yorker. 814 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,960 It's got roast beef. It's got pastrami. 815 00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,560 It's on rye bread. It's got the pickle, it's got 816 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,200 the mustard. It is stacked to high heaven. 817 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,760 I'm pretty sure it's got Turkey on it too, because, you know, 818 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,320 too much red meat kills, I guess. 819 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,680 But it is so good. It is so good. 820 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,400 I dream about this sandwich. I would throw up if there was 821 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,560 sauerkraut on it. I cannot do sauerkraut. 822 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,560 You just said put sauerkraut on it, Mr. Master. 823 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,480 Yeah. No, I can't do it. 824 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,440 I grew up being forced to eat sauerkraut every new year. 825 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,720 And you know what? I've hated it still because it 826 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,800 is terrible, but beside the point. 827 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,400 So good, such an A phenomenal sandwich shop. 828 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,280 Definitely going to pay a little extra, but it's good quality and 829 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,800 a good amount that you're going to get so. 830 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,280 I've only ever had it once or twice, I think it once, and it 831 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,520 was good. It was a good sandwich. 832 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,880 Yeah, I've never had it. I'd put it at a solid. 833 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,200 I'd give it an A to AB personally, but if that brings 834 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,920 it down to AC because not many other people have had it, that's 835 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,280 fine too. It's all good. 836 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,480 I kind of, I'm kind of ranking it based on what you guys say. 837 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,760 If I've never had it, I'll just go off of yours. 838 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,080 Like my my ranking is like null at that point. 839 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,280 Yeah. So we'll put that. 840 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,960 I'd give it a good solid B for sure. 841 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,480 It's safe at B. OK, LongHorn Steakhouse never 842 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,240 had it. Never. 843 00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,800 Heard of it? I've never been. 844 00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,560 I've heard of it. I've never been because it's 845 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,360 more expensive than Texas Roadhouse and I've heard the 846 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,440 food is not any better than Texas Roadhouse. 847 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,760 At that point I should go and get decent food so I skip 848 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,880 Longhorns and go to Texas. That's just me though and what 849 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,240 I've heard. The Mexican Inn? 850 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:17,840 Never. Heard of it? 851 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:24,080 OK, we'll wait for I need to get back. 852 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,040 For the olive. Garden. 853 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,400 We've all had Olive Garden. Yeah, I've always I've always 854 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,960 liked Olive Garden. It's AI. 855 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,400 I'm not I'm not big on a lot of the big box restaurants just 856 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,800 because I like to try new stuff. I love going. 857 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,800 I love finding what looks to be a literal hole in the wall, you 858 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,720 know, place that it's looks like it's falling apart because I 859 00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:52,520 mean, I've gotten we what is it? Where is that here in Iowa? 860 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,280 I can't remember the name of the town Madrid in in Madrid, Iowa. 861 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,080 They've been Madrid. Yeah. 862 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:03,760 No, it's Madrid. Don't say Madrid down there, but 863 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,520 there there's a a bike trail down there that I love to go on. 864 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,240 And first time I was down there, they, you see, I saw like one or 865 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,680 two signs for this Mexican place And, and I asked my wife. 866 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,640 I was like, I was like, you want to go try that out? 867 00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,880 And she's like, yeah, sure. You know, and you go there and 868 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,160 it's like, I mean, it just it, it looked terrible. 869 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,480 They've updated it since, but it looked terrible. 870 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,880 I've been to Olive Garden quite a few times. 871 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,840 Have you? Yeah, because there's one in 872 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:37,080 southern Des Moines and then there's one in, it's one of the 873 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,600 suburbs like W Johnson, Johnston, somewhere around. 874 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,760 There. So yeah, I think so. 875 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,760 Clive maybe so it it's one of those areas. 876 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,760 That one was really good. The one the one thing that I 877 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,360 love their food, don't get me wrong. 878 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,560 They're Alfredo amazing. Endless breadsticks. 879 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,920 Amazing. Yeah. 880 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,040 The the only problem that I have with it is that it's super 881 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,400 pricey these days. Is it? 882 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,600 I yeah, a lot of places are. It's you find a cheap place, you 883 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,160 know you got to hold on to that. Yeah, because me and like 3 and 884 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,800 two other friends went there one time. 885 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:19,760 We all got like our own entrees. We ordered 1 appetizer for like 886 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,960 all three of us. So we ordered one thing. 887 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,800 We all snacked on it. That's fine. 888 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,760 It was really good. We all have like lemonades I 889 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,280 think, and I think that's like a dollar more, but that's fine. 890 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,920 When I got the check it was because I paid for it. 891 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:38,360 It was 100 and like $10. Thanks. 892 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,600 And it was, I was like, why? It's for three of us. 893 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,120 And I looked at all of it. Yeah, each of our entrees were 894 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,080 like almost $30. Damn any crickets? 895 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:55,000 And then the yeah, then the appetizer was like 10 bucks, so 896 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,840 I don't. I miss the days I'm, I remember 897 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,440 when, when like, you know, I and I know I'm dating myself, but I 898 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,680 miss the days when like the wife and I could go out for dinner 899 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:10,120 and pay like $2025, you know, like you can't do that. 900 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,840 And that's, that's like for one person now. 901 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,080 Right. Which which one are you on? 902 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,200 Sorry I had to take a follow off. 903 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,600 Olive Garden. Olive Garden, right? 904 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,040 I I would. Personally put it at AB only 905 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,120 because it's pricey. So I've only had it once, right? 906 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,880 And I had a gift card, but there was a place that, like, Morgan 907 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,440 always raved about. It was like, this is amazing and 908 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,360 blah, blah, blah when I had it. And it's like, yeah, you know, 909 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,280 it's Italian food. Yeah. 910 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,800 Pasta, yeah, you're fine. You know, salad's OK, but it's 911 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,200 not like I think it gets, I think it gets this big hype of 912 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,840 like, yeah, this is, you know, great pasta and all that. 913 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,480 And it's. When you're here, you're family, 914 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,200 yeah. I think, I think Olive Garden is 915 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,360 kind of like the, the pumpkin spice lattes. 916 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,920 Yeah. I, I, I think, I think basic 917 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,880 white girls really, really love an Olive Garden. 918 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,080 You know, not to not to get judgmental, but I mean, that 919 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,520 just seems to be who they really like, you know, cater to. 920 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,960 I had their chicken parm and I was like, yeah, this is OK. 921 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,160 Yeah, that's good. I can make a better. 922 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,080 Chicken parm, but you know this. Yeah, so like I was telling Mr. 923 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,160 Master while you were gone and, and I just noticed that Alex 924 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,840 also stepped away for a second. Like I me and two other guys 925 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,400 went there and I paid for it and, you know, it was my treat. 926 00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:36,200 We were all going to a Des Moines regional for Yu-gi-oh. 927 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,680 So I was like, we might as well eat. 928 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:43,600 And the the end, just for three of us, the end tab was like 110 929 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,320 dollars. Yeah. 930 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,040 So in that, that's why I want to place it at B, because I like 931 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,640 the food. It's just pricey. 932 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,160 I'll put it on a low B, high C Yeah, that's fair. 933 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,040 Outback Steakhouse. We have two Outback steakhouses 934 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,160 on here. Is there? 935 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,080 Yeah, there's one in red later on. 936 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,520 Oh, there is. Interesting. 937 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,920 I thought it would plucker wings squared. 938 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,720 So Outback it, it's it's going to be up there as far as like 939 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,080 you're, you're paying more for it, like with the LongHorn 940 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,480 Steakhouse. Right. 941 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,120 But like, they've got things like the Blooming Onion and 942 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,960 things like that. But then again, you can get the 943 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:30,400 same thing at Texas Roadhouse for cheaper and better. 944 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,840 Right. In my opinion, and I've only had 945 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,720 Outback once, I was like, yeah, this is I have the steakhouse. 946 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,200 Yeah, I got it once. Wasn't honestly nothing to write 947 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,600 home about. I I don't go out of my way or 948 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,160 crave Outback Steakhouse at all. Now if if I had a server that 949 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,760 had an Australian accent, that would take it up to an eighth 950 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,360 tier, Oh yeah, that would be more authentic and you know me 951 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,200 an Australian accents. OK, that's true, Papa Doe. 952 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,040 Never heard of it. OK. 953 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,480 It looks familiar, but I've never had it. 954 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,600 We wait for Danny to get back, but we don't wait for Alex. 955 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,720 I see how y'all are. Sorry, I had to take a work 956 00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:08,520 call. I apologize. 957 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,120 OK, what's your opinion on Olive Garden? 958 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,360 Because that's really the only one that we I don't. 959 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,600 I don't like Olive Garden, their food's not that great. 960 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,360 Their breadsticks are OK. I prefer Fazoli's for the 961 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,000 breadsticks. No, Zoli's isn't on the list, 962 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,760 but. Yeah, they're, they're what? 963 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,320 I was looking through all of them, or a couple of these. 964 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,400 There was one that had Fazoli's on it but it only had like 10 965 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,320 restaurants in total. Oh yeah, no, no, we're getting. 966 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,880 More of a fast food place anyways. 967 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,200 Yeah, I I would give it that, but it's got better breadsticks 968 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,560 than Olive Garden and it's all you can eat breadsticks, so. 969 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,760 Personally. And then the old Outback 970 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,520 Steakhouse, mate, that's where you go. 971 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,120 If you want a real Australian steak, it's fine. 972 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,400 I prefer Texas Roadhouse. That's at the preference call. 973 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,760 And if somebody was like, I really want to go to Outback 974 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,000 Steakhouse, I'm like, cool, I wouldn't be upset. 975 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,400 Their food's good, like. Rain Forest Cafe. 976 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:03,720 Yeah. Too loud. 977 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,240 Too loud. Too expensive. 978 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:06,400 Is it too loud? I. 979 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,320 Would give it that. Yeah, I went to one once. 980 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:16,640 I had a glass of water and an appetizer, and I paid more than 981 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,200 I care to mention on the podcast. 982 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,000 And like you said, the the rainforest sounds in the 983 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,000 Rainforest Cafe, it's not like an ambient background noise. 984 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,640 They're distractingly loud. It's weird, like I'm not in the 985 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,320 rainforest, I have a speaker of the rainforest in my face 986 00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:37,320 blasting me out of here. Are they cool? 987 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,920 They're super cool to walk through and look at. 988 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,200 Don't really care to sit down and eat. 989 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,120 But it's, it's ridiculous. I think like we had like a, they 990 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,720 have like a chocolate volcano thing like for dessert and like 991 00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:52,520 have like oozing hot fudge coming out of it and all that. 992 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,960 And it was like 26 bucks for like a little cake. 993 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,160 And it's like, this is holy cow. It like it's, it's neat to go 994 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,960 for the experience, but bring your rich friend. 995 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,880 Yeah. And and just have your rich 996 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,360 friend give you money and skip Rainforest Cafe. 997 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,120 OK, Romano's Macaroni Grill. Never. 998 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,120 Heard of it, never been there. Like a good place to go. 999 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,360 I mean macaroni. Here is the definition of 1000 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,920 probably my favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse. 1001 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:28,280 Really favorite. I don't get me wrong, I've I've 1002 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,720 I've been saying Texas Roadhouse all evening. 1003 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,080 I love Texas Roadhouse. I really do. 1004 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,600 I put them in a beat here. I personally I think Cheddar 1005 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,960 should be above Texas Roadhouse. I don't know, I I. 1006 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,160 The personal statement. I personally I think like 1007 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,120 there's cinnamon butter in the rolls like automatically. 1008 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,120 Bring up, you're right. I'd kill people for that. 1009 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,520 I'd kill people for that. Yeah. 1010 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:55,840 Their rolls with that cinnamon butter is the same level as the 1011 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,720 butter cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster. 1012 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,000 So if we put it in, AI wouldn't be upset. 1013 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,520 I wouldn't. I wouldn't. 1014 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:09,320 It's good. It's even if you don't get the 1015 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,520 steak like they've got good like. 1016 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,520 Oh yeah. Their chicken fried steak is so 1017 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,080 good. I always go for it. 1018 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,760 I always get the chicken fried steak smothered in in in their 1019 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,400 brown gravy. Oh, I get the white gravy. 1020 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,280 White gravy is good. I like the brown gravy better 1021 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,400 and then I get the loaded mashed potatoes. 1022 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,480 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. This last time I went I tried 1023 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,200 their sauteed rice and that was so freaking good. 1024 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,560 But their corn is also great too. 1025 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,040 Good, good food, I saw. Good food. 1026 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,560 We were there. Really well priced too. 1027 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,880 Yeah, so we were.

And like we everybody left full, 1031 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:00,280 like we partially because we ate like 4 baskets of of rolls and 1032 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,240 butter, but you know. Their rolls are never ending, 1033 00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,680 along with the butter. Yeah, it's like, like she kept 1034 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,480 coming out and like, they're so piping hot. 1035 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,040 I can't open up the roll to get the butter inside right, Burning 1036 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,720 your fingers.

Fridays used to be good and I 1076 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,320 don't, I think, like Danny said, I'm pretty sure they're, you 1077 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,000 know, they're gone now, but or they're, you know. 1078 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,800 Once, yeah. And I was underwhelmed. 1079 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:10,600 I was underwhelmed. And I was like, OK, I was just 1080 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,200 underwhelmed. Yeah, they their appetizers were 1081 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,520 were what they were known for more than anything. 1082 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,720 I'm happy with the D tier on it honestly. 1083 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,520 OK, Twin Peaks.

Never heard, never been. 1089 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,560 Sounds like a place I'd love to go. 1090 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,240 Here's my favorite restaurant. Waffle. 1091 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,680 House. Yes, yes, yes. 1092 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,840 The only place you can get decent food and a decent fight 1093 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,400 if you go there late enough at night. 1094 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:02,320 Society gather at 3:00 AM Waffle House because they're 24 hours. 1095 00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:04,600 I will. I will get food. 1096 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:09,800 I will be stuffed to the gills and I will not pay more than 1097 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,680 maybe $12.00 for myself. And that's getting a ton of 1098 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,760 food. Yeah, so good, so good, so good. 1099 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,640 Dude, that All Star breakfast they have is like $8. 1100 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,600 It's stupid good. So honestly, honestly, yeah, it 1101 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,640 deserves its own tear. Waffle House. 1102 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,600 Waffle House. It's probably the best Waffle 1103 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:33,520 House. It's so good. 1104 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,040 Like everything. Mythically good. 1105 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,280 It's fantastic. Everything from their breakfast 1106 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,000 sandwiches, their Patty melts, I mean. 1107 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,560 Oh yeah, I've never OK I should branch out. 1108 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,680 I have never branched out to their lunch. 1109 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,360 I I'm stuck on the All Star. I've been eating it for years 1110 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,800 and I still love it. I still love it. 1111 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,240 So good. And they have grits. 1112 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,440 They got grits, they got waffles. 1113 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,920 You can get sausage if you don't want their bacon, it's fine. 1114 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,960 Which is so good. When you get their hash Browns, 1115 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,440 you got to get them smothered and covered. 1116 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,160 OK, that's. I mean, sounds good. 1117 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,560 Yeah. You get it to make. 1118 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,520 Me want to try Waffle House now? Smothered and covered is where 1119 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,480 they put they put the slices of cheese on it and then they put 1120 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,360 they put onions and Peppers in them. 1121 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,200 Oh yeah, smothered. Covers. 1122 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,960 I kind of wish that the village was on here because that's 1123 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,880 probably my favorite breakfast place, but I've never been. 1124 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,200 I've never been to Denny's or Waffle House, so. 1125 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,040 There are no Waffle House locations in Iowa. 1126 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,680 We didn't go to Illinois. Southern thing Missouri's the 1127 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,440 closest place you have to go to. So the hotel that we had to stay 1128 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,920 in when we went down to Illinois, down Southern Illinois 1129 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,520 a month, like a month ago, there was a Waffle House that looked 1130 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,040 like it was just all beat to crap, like right across the 1131 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,040 street. They'd probably have the best. 1132 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,880 Food. Jerry Jean kept going on about 1133 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,920 it, how how amazing the food was and everything, so I really 1134 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,880 wanted to try it. We ended up going to Cracker 1135 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,720 Barrel instead, which I wasn't upset with. 1136 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,520 Well, Waffle House, you would have paid half of what you paid 1137 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,680 at Cracker Barrel and probably better food. 1138 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,160 Wow, wow, wow. They're cheap and they're great. 1139 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,560 You don't go there for the service, you go there for the 1140 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:19,000 good. Food. 1141 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,200 You know, I'm, I'm happy with this tier list, honestly. 1142 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,280 Me too. Yeah, me too. 1143 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,120 Let's compare it to what? To what Joe's was. 1144 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,320 Yeah, Joe didn't do this exact one. 1145 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,360 No, but he had some of the same restaurants. 1146 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,680 Yeah. So he had House in his own tier 1147 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,960 as well. But it was below S tier but. 1148 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,480 It was below S tier, S tier. He put Cheesecake Factory, which 1149 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,720 makes sense if you know Joe and Texas Roadhouse. 1150 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,640 So he he agrees with us on that. Yeah. 1151 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:48,720 Very good. Yeah, definitely. 1152 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:50,520 Oh, he put. Olive Garden. 1153 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:55,320 Egg tier, he put. He put Olive Garden, Red 1154 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,560 Lobster, Chilies and Applebee's all in the same tier. 1155 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:02,040 I, I could see that, yeah. We didn't have Panera. 1156 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:06,280 What I would, I would put Panera up in in, in a, in an eighth 1157 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,120 tier, I mean. Panera's good. 1158 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,760 Panera's more of like a fast food joint now. 1159 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,400 He put a Buffalo, Wild Wings and bee. 1160 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:14,840 I would agree. I didn't. 1161 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,640 Disagree with that, honestly, other than OK, so for me, what 1162 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,760 takes Buffalo Wild Wings down is the is the atmosphere. 1163 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,000 I hate the atmosphere in the restaurant. 1164 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,040 That's fair. Yeah. 1165 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,960 Let's see he Mcallister's Deli. He's never tried Longhorn, Ruby 1166 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,520 Tuesday, Moe's, Moe's. Is good. 1167 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:36,480 I like Moe's. They do like tgi Friday's for 1168 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,720 him is a bee Outback. Denny's is AC. 1169 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,560 Yeah. Criminal. 1170 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,120 And for some reason he had Chipotle on there and he was 1171 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,520 consistent. Put that in D. 1172 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,560 Chipotle is not great. To be fair, I much prefer 1173 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,520 Pancheros to Chipotle. I much prefer Pancheros. 1174 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,080 Chipotle is not great and I would say Chipotle of OK, 1175 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,520 there's three restaurants, it's Chipotle, Qdoba and Pancheros. 1176 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,800 Chipotle is the bottom of that barrel, no contest. 1177 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,000 Cute. OK, only because I'd have access 1178 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,440 to a Pancheros that's. Fair. 1179 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,600 I'm I'm a big punch guy. Yes, I do like poncheros. 1180 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,720 That's good. I said it when we were doing the 1181 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:26,680 fast food, but I I love poncheros because like it's like 1182 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,000 maybe 9 to $12.00 for a burritos the size of your forearm and 1183 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,800 it's. Yeah, they are pretty big. 1184 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,720 Burrito through and through, like it's mixed up well. 1185 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,320 You're not getting like a bite of chicken and a bite of rice. 1186 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,280 Yeah, they really do a good job at that. 1187 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,320 Yeah, the most other places, burrito places I've been to, 1188 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:44,840 they don't, they don't mix it up. 1189 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,120 That was the one thing that surprised me because there was a 1190 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,800 La Bamba back in Bloomington where you could get a burrito as 1191 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,200 big as your head and it was good. 1192 01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,120 They didn't mix it up. And I have to say, mixing it up 1193 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:57,920 ahead of time really does make a difference. 1194 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,640 It makes a world of difference. I think it does, yeah.
