The comedic food show that explores the popular world of chain restaurants
2022 Just For Laughs Awards
HAPPY 40th Anniversary Just For Laughs. We had a blast attending the Just For Laughs Awards in Montreal this past weekend.

We also spoke with the hysterical Pete Holmes, the infamous Jimmy Carr, and Just For Laughs President, Bruce Hills.
Dubai Cheesecake Factory's Chicken Bellagio
Dubai is one of the world’s most extravagant and luxurious destinations which is why we had to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. This location is Halal which means pork isn’t served, so any menu item that would normally include pork, has been changed to either beef or chicken. We thought it would be fun to try the Chicken Bellagio because the dish includes prosciutto. Usually in the states the prosciutto would be pork but here it has been changed to beef prosciutto which is very exciting!

We are at the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury, Vermont. We chat with Sean Greenwood and check out the Ice Cream Factory, the Flavor Graveyard, and the Scoop Shop where we try the Vermonster.
