No matter how many times I try to watch these I can never make it to where she actually talks about the restaurant. She's as bad as Nathen in her own way.

Skipping ahead is recommended here, yes.

(Though I do genuinely like some later videos she's made exploring the weirdness happening in fanfic writing and tumblr some 15-20 years ago)

Farm to plate is doubly bullshit, because it implies freshness instead of frozen ready meals. It also promises something going directly from farm to plate without a middle man, but just as with egeez, being a middle man is the only thing Nathen is.

But you don't understand. Had Nathen invented egeez before founding the world's first GarfieldEats, he would have been able to open 200 GarfieldEats locations worldwide, pleasing the Garfieldheads around the globe!!

Big asterisk:

* assuming the licensed product you want to buy has a relationship with Eegeez. It’s funny Eegeez doesn’t seem to handle distribution though, only the licensing agreement so it’s like “yeah sure, we’ll make sure the poo poo we sell is not counterfeit but good luck getting that crap to customers lol”

But with no warehousing or infrastructure of its own. It’s more like a license verification service and online catalogue, like an anti-Etsy, where nothing is handmade and everything is available elsewhere.

Each Garfield pizza would have been inspected by a team of Egeez branding experts for brand authenticity (branticity) and given a hallmark to prove it, so your entergagement would have been guaranteed
