100% agreeded ! That’s from good management and hard working staff who care

[@eventingirl001]

The best thing Action did was move to KZbin! I mean, I’d loved to have him do an hour long show but he knows his audience. We just want a fun food show where we see new places to eat or maybe get inspired to make new things. It’s just pure entertainment that isn’t a competition show or drama fueled reality something or other. His channel is a sigh of relief on the internet.

This guy deserved some spotlight

[@a.leehilliard4716]

Let me tell you something. I don't think people understand how delicious the food is at this place. Marks off Madison. You can also get takeout or delivery. Once a week you can get bagels to go. Inside is great but they also have outside tables. Nice and secluded. If you have young kids there is a huge playground across the street. Get them tired and then go over for food. The clams, lasagna, burgers, pasta, desserts. I always take something to go for the next day. Nice staff and service. Can't miss with this place.

[@sexualsalt6016]

I love Action bro, he’s so damn important as a representative of human beings. Just turned 30 Monday, and as a proud American, Cocodrillo has always been part of the reason I like to experiment with food, truly one of the best things to master as a grown man. Grazie from the Chicagoland area Bronsoliño!

[@McMillanEwan]

Yo Action, thank you for making videos like this and constistently too because I watch these shows to make myself hungry most times so that I remember that I need to fuel myself to be the best version of myself, at least for a while.
