On This Episode:

There are some places out there that want you to feel good about what you eat. However, the one that will serve as our odd centerpiece of this episode wants you to question every decision that led you to its door, and somehow enjoy every greasy bit of it. First impressions may show just some other burger joint. But once you step inside, that's when you’ve entered a parody of fast food that's so bold and brash, it borders on performance art. Their staff are dressed like doctors and nurses just for kicks and parody. Then you got the décor which looks like a hospital that waved the white flag on preventative healthcare, total opposite. As for the food, let’s just say it's a bold, but friendly mockery in the face of moderation. We’re talking about burgers that seared in butter, fries that are golden to a crisp with lard, milkshakes that could double as dessert and a dare to fill up on milkfat, and soda that’s basically liquid sugar therapy. It’s ridiculous, overindulgent, and against all logic, kind of admirable. Because behind the absurdity is a rare, refreshing honesty. This place doesn’t hide behind marketing or wellness buzzwords. It knows exactly what it is and doubles down on it. And it's that kind of brutal transparency, the commitment to just owning your truth no matter how absurd, is what makes it appreciable. The restaurant in question oddly reflects our show’s ethos served on a greasy plate; a full-flavored reminder that authenticity isn’t always pretty, but it could be worth the taste. That is, if you throw caution into the wind against their motto: "taste worth dying for".
