Doughboys
Oh sure, many of us are not eating at restaurants right now cause you know… * waves hands at everything *. But in many cases a lot of us are still doing drive-thru and takeout. This podcast is an homage to chain restaurants and their sometimes amazing, and sometime truly awful food. Two comedians sit-down and review the chains, the food, and it frankly makes for a very funny podcast.
