Road trip to Utah!
- What a get! This week, I had the honor of taking Santa Claus himself to the restaurant that makes the absolute most sense to review with Kris Kringle: Arctic Circle. If you don't know it, think Dairy Queen Grill & Chill. They do the dipped cone thing but more importantly, they claim to have invented fry sauce
- Not only do we get the history of this chain and fry sauce itself, but there's a lot of genuinely fascinating Santa Claus lore that I didn't know!
- Is Santa Claus technically a cryptid?
- A Yelper does not appreciate the attitude of the employees after her bun falls apart
- "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
