Perkins Review feat. Andrew Canada (Two in the Cooler Podcast) [Part Two]

"Fine" Dining

Even the name sounds mediocre!

  • I'm joined once again by Two in the Cooler podcast host Andrew Canada to hit up a chain that was a staple of his childhood: Perkins Restaurant & Bakery
  • Perkins has a dingy atmosphere that acknowledges you'd rather be elsewhere
  • What's Going on Over There with advertising the arrival of Dr. Pepper to your menu, and then only serving Mr. Pibb? (This one really upset Michael)
  • Our server was emotionally affected by me not loving my burger
  • Andrew eats his pancakes in a real crazy way
  • What we ate:
    • Orange Juice
    • Mr. Pibb
    • Chicken Fingers
    • Short Stack of Pancakes
    • Turkey Sausage
    • Tater Tots
    • Blueberry Pancakes
    • Sausage Patty
    • Avocado Crunch Burger
    • French Fries
    • Apple Pie
    • Banana Cream Pie
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: Septemburger 2024 Kicks Off! I revisit 5 burger chains I've been to already this season as we see Steak 'n Shake take on Rally's, and Culver's matches up with Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. And then I score Whataburger's hamburger before they go head-to-head with In-N-Out the following week. Fill out your Septemburger brackets here!
