Mark Wants To Open This Chain Restaurant in LA

[@WhimsicalYokaiVideos]

Mark could totally open a restaurant and probably not even interact with it at all beyond eating at it and im sure it would be great

[@eragonawesome]

I'm just picturing him opening it, hiring his staff, then firing himself and being like "Cool now just stay in business so I can eat here"

He talks like he literally couldn't actually just do this. Like. Do it. Just do it. You've done so much crazy shit before, and you're drawing the line at opening a chain restaurant? I personally just think Mark's body couldn't take it.

[@ktkitchensink]

i work at a franchised skyline and the owner was literally just some guy who worked at skyline before opening his own restaurant, the restaurant does great, and people who never had it before always come to try it. mark could open a skyline and people would give their support because it's mark and because skyline does have a fanbase.

[@GooTheMighty]

I accidentally put cinnamon in chili instead of chili powder (similar jars), and I kinda liked it. My family mocked me, so now any time I make them food, I put cinnamon in it.

[@Prototype-357]

If Sean can have a coffee brand then Mark can have a restaurant chain, I always thought a movie studio would be more in line with him but sure let's do Mark's instead.

[@tvtomass]

They love what they do, they have our attention, we came onto the distractible podcast willingly, and became hooked for life ❤

[@ReikaSensei]

I'm surprised Mark didn't speak up about it, but maybe he didn't notice either. The county Los Angeles is in is Los Angeles County. LA is the name of the city and the county. It's why the neighboring cities are also considered "LA" even though they're different cities. Orange County is the suburban county next door famous for Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.

[@shadowhawk225]

In a similar vein, I grew up in Illinois, in the Chicagoland area. The restaurant Portillos is wildly popular and people I know that have left always talk about how much they miss it. And when someone opened a franchise in another state people get excited. I hear a lot of comments about how "oh I can finally get a good Italian beef again" Personally I think Buona beef is better that Portillos but those are fighting words around here. If Mark really did open a franchise, it would probably do pretty well

[@gwenjen101]

Those are indeed fighting words but Portillos is supposed to be more of a Hot dog place we just love italian beef. I'm also from the Chicagoland area and I've never once heard of or went to Buona beef! Mind telling me why you think it's better? Genuinely curious and might have to go check it out.

[@shadowhawk225]

@@gwenjen101 Not sure if there's more spices or just a different combination in Buona but I just think it's a lot more flavorful. I think Portillos is a little bland by comparison. I can actually see bits of herbs and spices on my sandwich. Also a minor thing but I also like Buona fries better. They're not fresh hand cut or anything special. I'm sure it's just another brand of frozen fries but they're more substantial and stay hot and crisper longer than most fast food places.

[@Peacheys2]

My issue is finding good pizza outside of Illinois, Chicago style deep dish and Chicago pub thin crust have ruined me

[@gwenjen101]

[@williamrust374]

(Sandi) skyline chili is what most people call pasta sauce or a meat ragu.. Historically cinnamon is a "hot" spice - sprinkle some cinnamon on a steak before grilling or frying it. I've tried skyline chili - yeah, pasta sauce, but I am biased - I grew up eating Texas chili - made it too (won 2nd place in a high school chili cookoff - against groups). BTW - I study herbs and spices as a hobby for the last 30 years ^_^.

[@benjaminsmit781]

How does studying spices work? What do you do?

[@williamrust374]

@@benjaminsmit781 - easy - I study where and when a particular spice came into use in Europe, the Middle East or the Asiatic areas (for the Old World spices and herbs), how that particular herb/spice was used both culinarily, medically, and spiritually, and how it tastes, smells, and works in more modern dishes. I will occasionally make a dish from the time period when it would have been popular - I'm also a culinary historian. I also study New World spices and foods as well. I've jumped down so many 'rabbit holes' they're starting to call me 'Alice'. :P

[@toasterella]

There is actually a few skyline in Lexington Kentucky now! 2:43

[@TheJjcczz]

The way Mark feels about skyline is the way i feel about Shakey's on freemont ave. in Alhambra, CA. I currently live in Houston TX and everytime my family and I visit home, we have a list of restaurants to eat at when we are back home. My list consists of: Shakey's, the hat, weinershnitzel, king taco, and if possible, sam wu's.

Come visit that Skyline Chili in FL! It's right down the road from me across from the Disney College Program housing, the west side of Disney closer to Animal Kingdom. We need more people to visit the Flamingo Crossings plaza and enjoy/complain because Disney wont let those businesses be open past 11:00 PM. A lot of Cast Members cant eat at the restaurants since they work till 10:00 or 11:00 and cant get back to the area in time to enjoy the food. The only places open after 11:00 are Wendy's and Walgreens but the brewery is literally begging Disney to stay open later for better business hours since most of the restaurants in the plaza are struggling to stay afloat. The plaza was literally designed for nightlife with well luminated outdoor seating and crosswalks that go over main streets for safety but everything closes relatively early given many people in the area work late... I'm looking forward to the Skyline Chili but am worried like many places it will struggle with the expensive property. I heard some of the smallest businesses have to pay $20k in rental fees a month. It's a lot for something may people would enjoy if they could be open later for business...

[@cc_snipergirl]

You can get frozen Skyline chili, at least at Publix here on the east coast of Florida. So you would probably be able to get it in the several states that have Publix.

[@qadro8536]

chocolate with chili can create a deliciously rich and complex flavor profile. The heat from the chili peppers can enhance the chocolate’s sweetness and add an intriguing depth. The spiciness can also intensify the chocolate’s flavors, making it taste more layered and nuanced. This combination plays on the contrast between sweet and spicy, which can be really satisfying! is what CHAT GPT is saying

What they also may not know if there is a few Skylines here in FL, specifically one near me in Clearwater. Ya know, I gotta go check it out...

Some info: Ohio has so many people because it is one of the major trade route junctions for the US and also has lots of resources that attract/attracted business back in the early/mid 20th century. The struggles the state still face, and why some people view it as a shithole, likely stem not just from recent Ohio memes but also long lasting effects of 2 recessions in 1969 and 1974 that took factory jobs out of the state followed by population stagnation/minor decline through the 80s, both of which the state has yet to truly recover from.

[@Tarcisius_]

Yeah, the thing in the podcast about Dayton is valid: the whole Miami Valley region never recovered from the depression, according to a story I heard on NPR, and when I heard that, I thought of the way Dayton looked, and was like, "Yep, that checks out."
