Snitching on Santa at Arctic Circle feat. Santa Claus [Part Two]

We come bearing gifts!

  • Arctic Circle seemed like the best place to review with Santa Claus in tow, so we took a road trip out to southern Utah to try it!
  • The Good: the mini corn dogs were genuinely great, and Santa brightened a few patrons' days by having gifts for the children!
  • The Not Good: Someone complained to management about aforementioned gift-giving, and we had to cease, also not all the food was great
  • The Just There: To be honest, this whole chain was pretty mediocre
  • What We Ate: Three burgers (standard, bacon, and pastrami), pumpkin pie milkshake, fries, Spanish onion rings, mini corn dogs, cheese curds, root beer ice cream (with a butterscotch topper), fry sauce
  • Santa talks about eating "rabbit on a swing" during the fanciest meal he's ever had
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
