Franz's Fine Dining: The Langham Hotel Chocolate Bar

[@SahilLondheGreyHerald]

I'll have you know that I speak nothing less than highly about the parenting skills of Gotham sewer penguins.

[@emmereffing]

"the most expensive episode... it's $45" *considers donating to Franz' patreon

[@AGermanSpy]

I wouldn't turn you down. Usually I have a really tight budget for these videos, and I actually had to save up for this one.

[@bryanyeungful]

Hey Franz, how did the recent fee change in Patreon affect you? Be sure to let us know if you think it is no longer a good way to support you. We can always change to twitch donations or whatever

[@AGermanSpy]

It doesn't actually seem to have changed the amount I receive at all. Unfortunately, from what I've been hearing, it seems to have resulted in at least some of my patrons having to pay a higher percentage of the processing fees, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what effects this has had on those who support me.

[@RichardBrayton]

I love this series Franz. If you ever get the chance, I can't recommend Chicago enough as a food tour destination; I'd love to see what you think of it as a place with something for palates of every walk of life.

[@AGermanSpy]

Noted. Thanks for the tip.

[@arisenpai]

Always appreciate the choice in soundtrack

[@Artista_Frustrado]

so funfact about owning a chocolate fountain, the time window to empty them out before you unplug them, or you will have a blocked fountain. But yeah they're amazing

[@AGermanSpy]

Hah, yeah, I can imagine they must be an insufferable pain to clean.

[@DeanBiddler]

I love these segments Franz. Great ideas as you say to treat your folks for putting up with you.

[@MrPaintRoller]

Chocolate? Chocolate! CHOCOLATE!!!! CHOOOCOOOLAAATEEEEEE!!!!!!

[@PhantomHung]

I took my wife there last year. We both agreed that we should have snuck im salt packets to cut through all of rich flavors. Probably will be back in two or so years

[@AGermanSpy]

My solution was to go to Paul Bakery about an hour before coming here and eat a croque. That was enough to get me through the Chocolate Bar more or less undamaged.

[@Creamouz]

I regret not getting to go there while I was in Boston. Damn that stuff looks delicious

[@golightly313]

Who did you have to shakedown to get into this place?

[@AGermanSpy]

You.

[@golightly313]

OOOHHHHH NNOOOOOOO!!!

[@Doomsday-qd6ih]

golightly313 actually it’s just a lot of money but I went there and it’s worth it!

[@justjacqueline2004]

Spectacular,although restraint will be needed.

[@Sidse]

Food in the US must be really cheap, if 45 usd is considered expensive. Here in Denmark it would be considered in the lower end for a buffet.

[@AGermanSpy]

Are you taking the exchange rate into account? $45 USD is currently equal to about DKK 285kr.

[@Sidse]

Yeah, with a drink included that sounds about right.

[@MuteMusicalMorgan]

Ahhhh, so that's the tradeoff for you guys to get that free healthcare.

[@Xene4Games]

Franz, you have to think about it this way: When you show up with this car, your dignity will get a boost and it will be fabulous. Pink Darth Vader doesn't care, why should you?

[@AGermanSpy]

Because I can't Force-choke anyone who laughs at me.

[@Xene4Games]

Nonsense. People are bastards and that laughter is just the pure envy dripping from their lips. Its one of the nicer shades of pink and not one of the ghastly ones which tend to burn the eyes. Life's too short to pay attention to those sorry fools.

[@rogerlost5851]

Sugar consumption doesn't increase the risk of diabetes, that's a myth. However, sugar does have a lot of calories, and being obese does increase the chance of developing diabetes.

[@malcolmcooke7131]

This kind of thing would stress me out. There's so much stuff I would be concerned with trying some of everything as to feel like I didn't miss out on a major part of the experience. And because it's all dessert food I feel I would force myself to feel like shit by the end just for the sake of having some of everything.

[@AGermanSpy]

Honestly, the individual portions are small enough that you can try probably 75% of the items on offer without making yourself sick, provided you pace yourself and drink plenty of water (or tea). That said, I can definitely understand where you're coming from and since I personally don't like sweets all that much, I didn't end up eating too much here myself.

[@wlanalex]

just from watching this i feel the diabetes taping on my shoulder: alex if you eat here youll get a bodymate

[@hayabusa5930]

So when I'm ready to leave this world for good I'll stop by and blow my life's earnings on a one way ticket to diabetes Heaven.

[@Sarynax]

Pro tip: they have chips and pretzels that help cut through all the sweet stuff so you can eat more!

[@SolanusDracon]

Actually, big posh hotels are rather renowned for having the best chefs in the world. It's not unusual at all to think of a hotel having fine dining.

[@AGermanSpy]

Yeah, but unless you eat at those kinds of places on a semi-regular basis, the connection might not occur to you.

[@SolanusDracon]

We use our medium to inform, we use our medium to educate, we use our medium to entertain.

[@AGermanSpy]

Hence the explanation of the connection between those two concepts in the video.

[@KwaarNawald]

All of those looks sooo damn delicious.

[@pinknecro]

How do you afford to go to all these amazing places with such amazing food, i always get hungry going though your videos

[@AGermanSpy]

I can only afford to visit these kinds of places when I travel, which isn't often and which invariably requires me to save up for months in advance. That being the case, I take any available opportunity to produce some video content in the process.

[@doalwa]

I’ve gained 10 pounds just watching this video!

[@jvnells8]

You're in Boston now. I think you're there. All these videos...

[@AGermanSpy]

Nah, I recorded these during the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm home in Berlin now.

[@jvnells8]

A German Spy Silly me. You mentioned that in the video. Oooops. 🤗

[@kruaser123]

Anne's Paradise on Earth

[@marcospci9008]

Is that heaven

[@TinyZu]

Most exquisite chocolate, verily forsooth, I say. ಠ_ರೃ

[@despadas]

dang, fine dining indeed!

[@onlinekicker]

Chocolate fondue is not at ALL uncommon. Maybe it's just a North American thing...

[@Garlic-Baguette]

Wow.

[@LightWeightBro]

LOVE THIS SHIT (the video series)

[@Somes1337]

eating and final fantasy 9 music

[@zomboids2100]

Lindblum castle theme~ the finest choice of dining music for a fancy restaurant.

[@unboundking9742]

That place looks bad. For health reasons. That place looks good. For pretty much anything besides health. I'm just gonna...stay away from there. Forever. Also Gotham's best Sewer Penguin is Alfred. No one rocks black and white better and he's an excellent parental figure. He beat up Super Man.

[@HeyMyNameIsShoe]

I hear Final Fantasy 9 music, I hit like.

[@zomboids2100]

HeyMyNameIsShoe Castle lindblum. The most recognizable song in the soundtrack of ff9. :P
