TGI Fridays the 13th feat. Sandy, Steven, & Herbert

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

​

â—‹ TGI Fridays is dark, red, and honestly feels like a murder room. Appropriate for the season

â—‹ Michael is joined by friend Sandy Rose to deliver the Resty Fact Round-Up while Garrett goes to town on Michael's bidet. Learn how TGI Fridays original incarnation was drastically different from what we know it as today

â—‹ Michael's pineapple son Juicy Jr. dons the mask as Juice-Son Vorhees in a terrifying murder spree homage to the Friday the 13th horror film franchise

â—‹ JUB issues an ominous warning

â—‹ Frequent dining companion Herbert Amaya goes to check on the suspicious boat on the ceiling while Michael & Garrett speculate What's Going On Over There?

â—‹ Garrett breaks the injunction and orders another Cinnabon-branded dessert

â—‹ Cheese correspondent Steven Zurita is a big fan of cheese

â—‹ The death of a cohost...

â—‹ Hear what others are saying about this TGI Fridays location in this week's Yelp from Strangers
