The creativity and humor in this show is the perfect meal. The information that is given about the history of chain restaurants — and more — is the dessert. I don’t always agree with the ratings, which of course makes it more fun!
This is a great comedy/food podcast, centered around fun discussion as the host and guests talk about their experiences eating at restaurants as they try to find the exact midpoint between good and bad experiences. It's held up well with host and format changes, both eras of the show are well worth listening to. Music production helps it stand out, with a whole range of catchy themes for various segments and comedy bits that will stick in your head for a long time. The unexpected side effect is that I now have musical riffs that pop into mind when I read or hear specific phrases, such as finding something ~WAY TOO MUCH!~ or wondering ~WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?~ It's all great stuff, and I highly recommend it.
I heard about this podcast from the Snack Show podcast (another 5 star podcast). While I live on the east coast I do recognize some of the restaurants. The descriptions and history of each chain are fascinating; it’s the reviews of the food and drinks that are wild. I listen late at night and hope my neighbors in the building don’t think I am crazy (well ok, they know I am). I really enjoy this podcast!!
This podcast is a fantastic variety show that keeps you on your toes! It’s entertaining, we’ll-produced, and it’ll make you laugh, hungry, and nostalgic all at the same time. Tune in for so many hilarious nuggets! (another pun baby)
