Chuck E Cheese? Or does that episode not work as well if you don’t already know their personalities?

I'm thinking more along the lines if the person doesn't know much/anything about Wiger, Mitch, Birthday Boys, etc.

Looking over the list, maybe the Steak & Shake 2 episode would be a good intro ep? Weird to recommend a sequel, but it's memorable and has a hook. Like something out of Twister...

He doesn’t get it at all and that’s just a goddamned shame. On the plus side, i didn’t even know that such an injustice was happening. Steak N Shake has still been good whenever I have gone in recent times. I haven’t been home in a couple years and I’m worried that when I go this summer and take my wife it’ll suck.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I'm so used to listening to Gillian Jacobs being given panic attacks by Scott Auckerman on CBB, it's very weird to hear her terrorizing Mitch in return.
Also, the golden paw club is classic clemdawg.

Relatively close? If it's not in LA proper Wiger has never heard of it and won't acknowledge it.

One of the fun things about doughboys is how serious they take the review part even though we all know it doesn't matter and it's just a topic to drive a conversation with friends and funny people. At the end of the day, Doughboys is a podcast about rela-THEY DID TACO BELL AGAIN? BEFORE MCDONALDS? I'm done.

There was the time where someone bit on a piece of metal and chose that establishment in order to turn the podcast into an angry Yelp review about that incident, which was a pretty bad episode.

doughboys has changed my appreciation of chain food. I would love them to come to Australia and review our chains. I also feel equipped to give every new gimmick junk food product a Snack or a Whack

Edit: specifically, I want to hear their take on The Coffee Club, Red Rooster, Guzman y Gomez and the Australian branches of hungry jacks, taco bell, and maybe mccafe. There's also a local cafe chain that I think is just in brisbane that has like legit 60 things on their menu, everything has a unique and incomprehensible name without any logic to it, and it makes me furious when I drive past
