The Wildest $20 Milkshake in Baseball: Diamondbacks Food Review
Get ready for a deep dive into the wildest food trends, restaurant controversies, and hilarious college nostalgia. From massive milkshakes at the ballpark to the strict dress codes of high-end steakhouses, Chris and Joe cover everything you need to know about the current state of dining and culture. 🥤🍔
In this episode, we break down the Arizona Diamondbacks’ insane new milkshake that is basically a meal on top of a cup. We also tackle the viral debate between Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Chili’s regarding dress codes. Is it reasonable to ask customers to take off their hats, or should businesses just be happy to have paying customers in the door? 👔🍟
The conversation heats up as we discuss major changes at your favorite fast food spots. We look at why Chick-fil-A is messing with their waffle fry recipe, the new shareable breadstick pizza at Little Caesars, and why Five Guys is making a move that has some fans scratching their heads. Plus, we investigate the shocking F rating given to Buc-ee’s by the Better Business Bureau and what it really means for the gas station giant’s expansion into Ohio. 🍕⛽️
To wrap things up, we take a trip down memory lane to Malone University. We share stories about the infamous Myers Lounge, the struggles of running a college radio station that nobody could hear, and the awkward reality of campus life in the nineties. 🎙️🏫
