The American Girl Cafe feat. Katie Molinaro (@EatItKatie, Comedian, & Foodie)

​

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

​

○ Part 1: Comedian and food influencer Katie Molinaro doesn't hesitate to join for a silly dining experience, so we hit up the American Girl Doll Store Boutique & Bistro

○ Katie grew up with a doll she didn't vibe with

○ The Secret Menu mini-game category: Unfun Children's Toys

○ American Girl was founded by a cancer-surviving textbook writer who used her royalties to make this brand explode

○ "The first experiential dining experience"

○ The brand forayed into movies while inspiring aspiring filmmakers to make American Girl stop-motion animations

○ A guy fails to realize that this place just simply isn't for him in this week's Yelp from Strangers

○ Part 2: Katie's back, and it's time to review the place!
○ I made an impulse buy and got a doll chihuahua named Barker Posey

○ The stalls in the bathrooms have hooks so you can take your doll with you, and that's Way Too Much...

○ The service team had a noteworthy amount of men on it, and one of them's name tag didn't match his employee badge which makes us wonder What's Going On Over There?

○ What we ate this week: Cinnamon Buns, Glitter Bomb Sprite + Edible Straw, Ch**se-Topped Cucumber, Fruit Skewer, Meatballs, Marinara, Ravioli, French Fries, Turkey Club, The AG Burger with Tomato Bacon Jam & Fried Egg on a Pretzel Bun, & Chocolate Mousse in a Flower Pot
○ Katie details the best and worst restaurants she's ever been to in the Calibration Station
