Maybe the best milkshakes in the game!

• Cook Out is a staple of North Carolina, and I got to sit with host of the Astonishing Legends podcast, Scott Philbrook and try the burgers, hush puppies, and milkshakes that make them famous
• The Secret Menu Category: Spooky Restaurants
• A liminal space with Cheerwine decor
• What's Going On Over There with the handwashing station on the customer side of the ordering station?
• There's back of house and front of house, and never the two shall meet
• What we ate: Onion Rings, Hush Puppies, Cajun Fries, Cook Out Style Burger, Out West Style Burger, Steak Style Burger
• Scott details a restaurant experience so bad, his whole party left with dire stomach issues in this week's Calibration Station
