Even the name sounds mediocre!

• I'm joined once again by Two in the Cooler podcast host Andrew Canada to hit up a chain that was a staple of his childhood: Perkins Restaurant & Bakery
• Perkins has a dingy atmosphere that acknowledges you'd rather be elsewhere
• What's Going on Over There with advertising the arrival of Dr. Pepper to your menu, and then only serving Mr. Pibb? (This one really upset Michael)
• Our server was emotionally affected by me not loving my burger
• Andrew eats his pancakes in a real crazy way
• What we ate:
  • Orange Juice
  • Mr. Pibb
  • Chicken Fingers
  • Short Stack of Pancakes
  • Turkey Sausage
  • Tater Tots
  • Blueberry Pancakes
  • Sausage Patty
  • Avocado Crunch Burger
  • French Fries
  • Apple Pie
  • Banana Cream Pie
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: Septemburger 2024 Kicks Off! I revisit 5 burger chains I've been to already this season as we see Steak 'n Shake take on Rally's, and Culver's matches up with Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. And then I score Whataburger's hamburger before they go head-to-head with In-N-Out the following week. Fill out your Septemburger brackets here!
