Most food reviewers detail the intricacies of bites so delicious no one could possibly afford to try them. But the fine dining podcast? It's for the rest of us, baby! Join me, your host, Michael Ornellis, as I weather the caloric avalanche of every chain restaurant in America, in search of which one is the most mediocre. A title they don't even realize they're vying for. Are you brave enough to hit up a waffle house at midnight? I am. Are you willing to eat menu items with words like explosion and volcano in the name? I say bring it on."

Does your Google search history include the phrase, Am I dying if my fingers go numb and I black out while watching the corporate mandated line dance at Texas Roadhouse? Heh, yeah me neither. But the search for the perfect 5.00 dining experience out of 10 is my life's mission, and I won't stop until I find it for you. It's not fine dining, but it's fine.
