Hmmmm, that was NYC in the old film featured in Warfare intro. Just saying.

Wonderful show! Just discovered a wonderful restaurant in my neighborhood I didn't know about! 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

I had many lunch meetings at Wayfare Tavern. The fried chicken and the deviled eggs are fantastic.

Welcome to Taiwan when the epidemic is over

Put me on this show and I guarantee entertainment. This format is so out of touch.

I didn't enjoy this group, sorry...I wish the finale would have regular people. "The place is just 5 minutes from where I work" (brag, brag, brag) "the item should be on the BRUNCH menu" (whatever!!!) "we drop in to get a drink, and I just ask for a popover with desert" (ugh) Oh well, looking forward to next season.

At least it's not a painful episode with kids where you can watch a 12 year old gush over the ambiance and the delectable caviar course.

@@knowyourhistory I agree with you here!!! :) These kids are too much and it scares me to know that these kids is the new generation of Silicon Valley. Kids need to be kids, and review amusement parks NOT restaurants!

@@anama3313 Ok, boomer. Seriously disagree.
