Most food reviewers detail the intricacies of bites so delicious no one could possibly

afford to try them. But the fine dining podcast? It's for the rest of us, baby.

0:10.4

Join me, your host Michael Ornellis, as I weather the caloric avalanche of every chain restaurant

in America, in search of which one is the most mediocre. A title they don't even realize they're
