We discuss the insane history of the real-life restaurant and how Parker and Stone eventually purchased it (including reading some hilarious online reviews from customers), the appeal of "themed" restaurants, the way Butters is being used more effectively in recent episodes, whether or not it's ok to laugh at Jimmy, the potential for a South Park disaster movie parody and more.
