Season 3 Episode 5: IKEA Swedish Bistro feat. Chris Grace
In this episode of "Fine" Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:
​
â—‹ I'm joined by Chris Grace from NBC's Superstore to tackle the largest furniture retailer in the world IKEA and their fabled Swedish Bistro which happens to be the 6th-largest food chain internationally!
â—‹ "Coffee and a biscuit" was where it all began in Sweden
â—‹ Despite being what they're known for, the Swedish Meatball (which isn't even actually Swedish) didn't hit the menu until the 80s, almost 30 years after open
â—‹ There were plans for a viking themed restaurant originally!
â—‹ A nightmare green hot dog and food made of mealworms??
â—‹ A Yelper writes with whimsy and then drops it before the end and Chris thinks it's hacky
