Chili's feat. VyVy Nguyen

​

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

​

○ Part 1: Chili’s. For nearly 50 years, it’s been slinging margaritas, sizzling skillets, and vibes that are somehow both flirty and corporate. In this episode, actress and podcast 3-timers guest club VyVy Nguyen is back to explore the surprisingly spicy history of this chain restaurant icon with me — from its post office origins to its entanglement with The Office, N*SYNC, and the internet’s horniest Vine.

Was Chili’s always this unhinged, just waiting for us to notice?

​

○ Part 2: Coming next week!
