At one point Magnus said that they should send the robots to liveshows in their place. It was very good.

So many "Signature" sauces. Full size image for the sauce list.


It actually wasn't that bad. Chicken was juicy. The chipotle ranch was good. The Lime Mojo wasn't good though. Not very signature, Guy.

Clearly no fun or joy was derived from kidding on the square and eating from a joke restaurant. Thanks for policing somebody not having fun on the internet and making a dour, serious sad post about the miserable experience.

I think the main issue is just that somebody took the time to share their relevant, on-topic experience with the thread during a lull in conversation and your immediate reaction was to just poo poo on them. They didn't have to take the time to make that post...

No, they didn't. But no one has to post anything. My post is just as necessary. My main point, though admittedly a little confused, is to own who you are, don't be the butt of some joke. If chicken fingers are your thing (surprise I have opinions about those, too) that's fine. Just don't make something you enjoy (McElroy's) part of your identity.

Dude it's not like he's a vegetarian forcing chicken tenders down his throat because some funny men talked about it.

You seem to have opinions about chicken tenders. Don't drag down one person's experience because of it.

You can all stop arguing about me (although I appreciate you all care so much about my dinner). I'm a local who goes to Disney Springs all the time and I try all the restaurants. I didn't go there just because the Bros talked about it.

Nah 'Don't be the McDonalds szechuan sauce wierdos' is a perfectly valid thing to say, but an overreaction in this case.

By the same token 'Ironic enjoyment' is actually the same thing as 'enjoyment' so do whatever you like just don't be an rear end in a top hat about it.

I've been there as well, it wasn't exactly inspiring. It's actually perfectly representative of what a Guy Fieri restaurant is to me.

Yes, this thread is famous for never saying anything negative about the show or about individual McElroys, and this aversion to criticism is the sole reason you are getting pushback.

I think they said during the last Q&A that they expect Amnesty to finish later this year, so I'd guess an arc or two more.

A real hellraiser


The main problem with Guy Fieri's restaurant is it is not in my area yet.

Basically any drat day I can get Guthrie's or Zaxby's if I'm feeling bad and can't think of what to make for dinner. I want to try Fieri's same format restaurant.

To me: Guthries better fries, better sauce
Zaxby's: Better tenders, better slaw
Tie: Bread

Only Guy Fieri can get all of them perfect.

I give it another two episodes on this arc, and then one more arc fighting the Big Bad of the season.

Related: while most Munch Squad segments are for short term promotional items, the DQ slogan "Happy Tastes Good" is now appearing in commercials. I see it all the time and I laugh at their dumb ad.

"Happy tastes good" is actually pretty true. Mental state affects your sense of taste, from tasting something as grape just because you expect that out of something that's purple, to thinking a wine is amazing just because you are also having a good night.

I don't think you get to choose when people stop poking fun, considering you started the whole mess.

But I've said my piece, and now I'm more than ready to talk about other things. Like listening to shmanners entirely due to Justin dunking on Travis at the beginning of the latest Sawbones show. Multi-show mud-slinging, it's good stuff.
