Post workout meal and I get to watch a Guga vid. Today is great💪
I've been to TGIFridays in England. Once. It was I think 13ish years ago, it was mediocre, and overpriced. Not a fan of thick cut chips unless they're done right, because of the tism, and these had the skin still on, not a fan of that at all. The cheeseburger was alright, but nothing to write home about. I'd rather have a maccies any day.
Flats over drums any day of the week
A long while back I ate at Luby’s. I had a yam casserole. I think it was rotten because it was bad. That was the only bad experience I ever had with a chain restaurant.
Sysco and the big food conglomerate is why most of these places are failing. They are relying on too many cheap options instead of scratch kitchen style.
the TGI Fridays near me just reopened about 6 months ago and we enjoy going ….
Dylan Huynh did this sort of wejio so much better.
yea i only went to red lobster back in the day like 90s or early 2000s. been along time.
i've never ever been to a TGI "not J" guga lmao
never been to quizno's either, but theres also alot of places i've never been.
like chipotle for 1.
but i also live on east coast so theres alot of places thats only on the other side of the country.
You should come over to England and try some of the stuff over here. If I had to give you 5 places to try, they would be:
Greggs, Wetherspoons, Toby Carvery, a Greene King restaurant, and to end it off, come down to the Black Country and try a Chippy, specifically the traditional Orange Chips.
11:35 i'd say i've had subs like that at subway to. quality looks about the same.
neither one is worth it. haha.
rule 1 forget those review websites exist. 1'st off noone ever says what location they went to. 2nd its the internet we all know people never write constructive critic's lmao. they turn there brain off. "most of them"
I should NOT be watching Guga's videos while on a cut 🤣🤣
A sirloin shouldn't really be that rare a mid rare works best and that one was very rare.
To many restaurants have gone with premade stuff. Stuff is basically heated and prepared. No real actual cooking. Certain items like a steak have to be cooked on location, but side dishes and such are glorified tv dinners.
These restauraunts will be gone soon. The margins are so small, they cant afford a decen product, employees etc. It's only a matter of time.
Carbonara sandwich? wtf usa
Childhood memories? Aren’t you from Brazil??
I would hope that in Miami the big chains, and one owned by restaurant groups, are empty. People should be eating local, and at mom & pop restaurants.
Red Lobster disappearing would be a crime against humanity…. never takeaway that one.
Wingstop by me sux.
Why is the beef so expensive
I walked into a red lobster once many years ago and the place stank like a deep fryer that hasn't been cleaned in weeks. the carpets were worn down and looked like the kitchen carried the fry oil out on their shoes and stomped it into the carpet. smelled the place and instantly walked out.
That Quiznos looked disgusting bro
I would love to see Bennigan's make a revival …
Wing stop let you order? Last one i went to wasn't accepting walk-ins. Tables and everything
A lot of problems with restaurants like Red Lobster is stuff they were known for, they started selling in grocery stores. Why go to a restaurant if they see it at the grocery store? People even started getting tired of it from grocery stores after the novelty wore off. Sales dropped in both aspects.
there was no sauce on the ribs bro
I tried Wing Stop that opened near me 2x and both times the wings were disgusting, uncooked and nasty ..
Private Equity + Sysco food distribution = DEATH…. mostly a slow dying death
I love wing stop. Mango habanero or hot honey rub so fkn fire. 🔥🔥 🔥
Yummy, cheddar biscuits. I must make these scones. It is super keks.
@6:43 i cant trust a word you say because you didnt even mention the membrane that was left on the bottom of the rib. thats lazy prep work and sh1t quality control. always remove the membrane before cooking, ALWAYS!!!! i dont care what the flavor is like, this shows pure lazyness and you as a food reviewer should have caught this error, and since you didnt….. youre the error……
Guga, I love your content.
Red Lobster was crap 30 years ago … bland, mediocre, and nothing other than low-level quality seafood served to an audience with -pedestrian tastes.
