Chasing The Spark

Panic Ordering, Comfort Food & Other Restaurant Confessions: Episode 65


Listen Later

There are two versions of us at restaurants: the person we think we should be…and the person who actually orders the burger and fries.

In this episode, Katie and Heather get surprisingly honest about restaurant personalities, panic ordering, comfort foods, and the meals we keep coming back to no matter how many times we promise ourselves we'll try something new. From menu anxiety and Cheesecake Factory overwhelm to emotionally safe Caesar salads and chicken tenders drowning in ranch, we're unpacking the weird psychology behind what we order and why.

We talk about: • The restaurant version of ourselves vs. reality • Panic ordering when everyone else is ready • Our forever comfort foods and no-risk meals • Why food choices can feel emotional • Stress ordering, celebration ordering, and "I deserve this" ordering • The foods we secretly love but pretend we're over • Heather's legendary Hotel Hershey ranch story

Plus, a rapid-fire round of food truths that reveals just how predictable we all become when we're hungry.

If you've ever judged a menu and still ordered the same thing you always do, this episode is for you.
