Coming to you from Greensboro, North Carolina this week!

• I'm cross-country again as this week I'm covering the beloved Southern burger chain Cook Out with host of the Astonishing Legends podcast, Scott Philbrook
• Scott talks his history with Cook Out from back when he was in college, as most locations are open until 3 in the morning
• Learn the history of Cook Out and their expansive menu that sells at a fraction of the cost of most fast food brands' offerings
• A couple incidents at Cook Out got managers and employees fired for either refusing or giving poor service to the police
• A Yelper complains of a "chemically" hot dog that's unfit for dogs
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
