I grew up in a house that used margarine exclusively (because that was the short of shit that people thought was “healthy” in the 80s) and my mom called it butter. I honestly didn’t realize there was a difference until I went to college and started cooking for myself and bought actual butter. My life changed for the…

It’s astonishing how little this guy gives a fuck. I cared more about the quality of my work when I stocked shelves at Dollar Tree

I’ve never seen a Bennigan’s in person (never lived in their area AFAIK) so when I first saw that South Park episode I assumed they had made the chain up. Was surprised when I found out they didn’t (but not as surprised as when I had the same realization about Casa Bonita).

Which female comedy legend will he call a “cunt” this time? Carol Burnett? Stay tuned, David’s BIG MAD!

“David (David Hornsby) is quietly crushing it at running the in-universe video game Mythic Quest.”

There was this slightly off-kilter edge to his early stuff that kept them at least interesting, but after ‘I Heart Huckabees’ he veered really hard into Oscar bait crowdpleasers and lost that spark.

I was going to say, I couldn’t have told you if this was a TV show or a movie. But that isn’t an Amsterdam-specific problem.

Someone make sure Lily Tomlin’s okay!

Besides Russell being a massive asshole, maybe audiences are catching on that his movies kinda suck*

I really hated American Hustle.

David O.’s gonna be mad!

Did Eve Best seriously just drop not just an “I don’t own a TV” but an “I haven’t owned a TV for years”? Fucking hell

I had no idea Bennigan’s still existed. The one where I grew up closed at least 15 years ago. While I do give credit to any place that has a Monte Cristo on the menu, putting it on wheat bread and including American cheese doesn’t sit right with me. I will give them points for including the raspberry preserves though,…

Bennigan’s was barely Irish-themed. What it was, was a fern bar. Any look at the rise of Bennigan’s that doesn’t go into the fern bar phenomenon is missing the whole point of the place in the 70s-80s - a clean, mid- to upscale bar scene where yuppies would feel safe to hang after their 9-to-5 and hook up with each…

Peter Luger’s will probably be here long after I’m gone, but I can tell the quality has gone to shit. I feel like they’re resting on their laurels, and the service and meat quality I got in my last visit in 2021 was so vastly subpar to any visit I’ve made in the previous decade which was about ~10x when I’d drop into…

I was going to mention that as well - feels like something that definitely should have been brought up in this article.

(Luckily, this time around, no horrifying tragedies appear to have befallen the group members in the name of getting the band back together).

You might want to double check your facts on that one...

I have never once dried dishes while working in a restaurant as a dishwasher. The combination of the quick dry chemicals in the machine, air and the super hot water temp always took care of that.

No.
