Probably bad that I instantly thought of Doughboys when I read this https://twitter.com/nypost/status/854399913228152832

Ehh, given the tone of the show I have to imagine this will come up at some point in the near future. Why, I can hear it now...

"Those will probably be your last words as well, huh, Mitch?"
"...WHAT THE gently caress [4 minute overly defensive rant that somehow involves Boston and the Patriots] And I'm done, I hate this show, this sucks."
"OK. Wow."
"I will say, the McNugget is very, very gud though."
"Yeah, McNuggets are great."

Fantastic episode. Gabrus is a beast.

I am glad that the audio flub toward the end was a technical error and not a "We had to cut a big section because Gabrus got a little too real about Mitch being a 'big sad fat guy.'"

Factor in the sobriety thing and...I think you may have a point.

If it helps, they eventually start reviewing restaurants where the "chain" moniker is a bit of a stretch and most of the locations are SoCal/LA, so even a lot of us Yanks have no point of reference.

Serious post, order Jimmy Johns online and you can customize the hell out of your sandwich, walk in, and get handed your sandwich without having to wait for anything (or get it delivered).

Or you can just go into JJ's, say "Give me a #11," pay and have a perfect sandwich in-hand in under a minute. That's what JJ's is all about, getting your uncomplicated sub ridiculously quickly. Five forks.

Subway...where you can painstakingly pick from an array of sub-par produce to add some kind of substance to what would otherwise be a flaccid lettuce sandwich on bad bread. Did you know that all 3 types of meat in the Cold Cut Combo are made out of turkey - even the "ham?" You'd probably never even realize it because they skimp so much on the meat. Zero forks.

(Doughboys' most shameful moment was rating Jersey Mike's at Subway levels. Also I am extremely invested in the "Actually talking about garbage food" part, which I agree, is depressing.)

(French Fry Counting may be my favorite moment in the entire series. Susser comes in with this moronic premise that he has not thought through beyond "I will hand them a bag of cold fries and tell them to count;" Nick can only collapse into a fit of laughter as Mitch angrily shouts "ONE. TWO. THREE. DOES THIS COUNT AS A FRY?")

Be sure to check every episode of High and Mighty for, like, a month after that episode to hear Gabrus talk about the gastrointestinal fallout of pounding 60+ McNuggets (and a couple of brewdogs, a term I can't believe Wiger uses unironically) in one sitting.

Yes Mitch, your health problems are due to eating 4 meals per month for the podcast. Especially since healthier chains are sometimes mixed in.

On the one hand, they do typically go wild and order appetizer sampler platters, mixed drinks, and sometimes two entrees.

On the other: Once meal a week out of 21.

I made a trip for Endless Shrimp this year, thanks to Rocklobsterfest 2016. Interested to hear how they fared, because even though I went in extremely hungry I only finished 6 dishes and like 35 shrimp total - not counting the Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, which had a ton of tiny shrimp in it, but those didn't really count/leave me with tails to count at the end of the meal. The linguini was good as hell, but the pasta and cream sauce are heavy hitters that will stop your run in its tracks.

I doubt they will do on-air shrimp eating - the inconvenient wrinkle of Endless Shrimp is that, after your first two entrees, each additional order has to be placed individually. (If you have a good server, they can goose the system by saying "Well now that your refill order is in, can I know what your next refill will be?") So there can be a lot of downtime.

Also they'd have to be sitting there in the restaurant with a Zoom and 4 microphones, and Yusong and/or Dustin waiting in the wings.
