๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ On the Border Review: Guacamole Glory, Taco Chips, and The Chili's Test ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ
We're back with Part 2 of On the Border, and this time Trent Tucker (@TheGOTSPod) and I actually sit down to eat at the former Brinker sibling to Chili's. There are highs. There are lows. There is guacamole made tableside that absolutely slaps. We also encounter a manager radiating peak "Karen energy," raid a Little Free Library mid-meal, and hear "Cable Car" by The Fray so many times it becomes psychological warfare.
๐ฅ Guacamole Live Is a Legitimate Triumph
๐ฎ Flautas That Do NOT Live Up to the Ornelas Family Name
๐ง Chips and Salsa Are Decent, But Why Are the Chips Half a Taco Shell?
๐ถ "Cable Car" by The Fray Plays an Unreasonable Number of Times
๐ Little Free Library Raid Yields a Parody Songbook and an Education on Spiders
๐ฌ A Manager Check-In That Screams "I'd Like to Speak toโฆ"
๐๏ธ Trent Shares His Best Meal Ever: Ramen in Japan
๐ด His Worst Meal Ever: A Burger from Rainforest Cafe
๐ On the Border Faces The Chili's Test
๐ฌ COMMENT BELOW: Is tableside guac enough to overcome weird taco chips?
