Ch**seburger in Paradise feat. Mom

​

In this episode of Fine Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:

​

â—‹ Part 1: Michael's Mom is back and joins him this week to eat at the historic Ch**seburger in Paradise restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii!

â—‹ Mom brought leis because being festive is important

â—‹ Hawaiian Santa Claus!

â—‹ These Eat Deets get spicy as Jimmy Buffett wasn't necessarily fond of the founders stealing the name from one of his most famous songs

â—‹ Some people have had their ashes spread at this restaurant with an ocean view

â—‹ A Yelper falls in love with their server in Yelp from Strangers

â—‹ Part 2: Vintage decor meets views of the ocean, the beach, and garbage trucks

â—‹ Hawaii is the deepest South

â—‹ A discussion on the word "y'all"

â—‹ A server flat out refuses to bus a plate off our table: What's Going on With That?

â—‹ But also, it's Way Too Much

â—‹ The burgers aren't bad, but they're nothing to write home about

â—‹ No desserts??

â—‹ The floodgates on fast food and fast casual restaurants have been opened!
