March Madness Returns!

The boys are back in their respective studios to break down the 2021 March Madness Bracket!

Bracket: Casual Dining

As promised during our first episode back, we have cobbled together 16 of the best casual dining restaurant chains for a bracket! No self-serve or buffets, they must have a wait staff, nothing 24-hour and the basic criteria: if it was late at night and you had to stop for food and these were the only 2 options, which would you choose? A rough timestamp: Mel-s Drive In vs Hooters (8:00) BWW vs Bennigans (18:00) Olive Garden vs Red Lobster (25:00) Red Robin vs PF Changs (31:00) TGIFridays vs Applebee's (37:00) BJs vs Outback Steakhouse (45:00) Chevy's vs Cheesecake Factory (51:00) Islands vs Chili's (58:00) FF and Finals (104:00ish) To be honest, those timestamps are such guesses. If anybody mentions this line at all I'll keep track of them better during the next pod. Thanks for listening!
