Description

Traveled across the country for this!

  • Coming to you from the mountains of North Carolina, I bring you the Eat Deets for Shoney's with my very own Dad
  • Shoney's has undergone a few name changes, including being a part of the Big Boy franchise
  • A brand that once grew to over 1,800 restaurants is dwindling in the post-pandemic restaurant landscape, now down to 81 (as of 2024)
  • Racist hiring practices landed Shoney's on the receiving end of the largest discrimination settlement ever (at the time)
  • A Yelper literally dumps all over the whole town in this week's Yelp from Strangers
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
