Perkins History feat. Andrew Canada (Two in the Cooler Podcast) [Part One]

I traveled to New York, New York for this one!

  • From the Two in the Cooler podcast, host Andrew Canada joins me this week to check out Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, a chain that I flew across the country to New York City to try, and he flew down from Buffalo to meet me there
  • Originally "Smithy's Pancake House" before changing their name and expanding across the region, Perkins' backstory is one of ups and downs
  • The Secret Menu: Sci-Fi Foods
  • Andrew's friends sound 100% made up
  • A Yelper gives Perkins 5 stars while continually dunking on Staten Island in pretty glorious fashion
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
