- Weird History Food is going to pick up the check on this one with some Chain Restaurant Facts. There's a certain level of comfort when diners walk into a popular American food chain. No matter where patrons travel throughout the US, they know that entering a chain restaurant titan will provide them with the same menu, food, and service they experience back home. Establishments like Olive Garden, Waffle House, Applebee's, T.G.I. Friday's, Outback Steakhouse, and others take pride in providing diners with consistent atmospheres no matter where life takes them.

The fact that Denny's was originally a donut shop called Danny's is what surprised me.
I wish people could see behind the scenes of Panera Bread. They don't make their bakery items onsite, at least not all. The soups and macs are microwaved and heated straight out of a bag. Starbucks breakfast sandwiches are basically 7/11 premade heat and eat sandwiches... but I'm talking about American 7/11's (if you know you know).
I second a video about Panera Bread!
As someone who worked at Panera bread, I can speak to this, at least a little. The vast majority of the baked goods are made onsite. The only one not baked at the restaurant that I can remember are the coffee cakes.
While the Mac and cheese is sometimes microwaved, usually it and the soups are warmed in large hot water baths. We only microwave the Mac when no one has had time to throw some in the water bath to heat up.
All veggies are prepared in the back, so they cut and mix salads and such from fresh veggies.
Panera definitely has some issues, but as far as restaurants that I've worked at go, I still eat there occasionally.
did yall think they were shredding cheese in back for u????
I worked at a cracker barrel most of the shit came in proportioned bags too. Then heated in water. Except the the meat & chicken was cooked there
Why look behind the scenes when every JunkFood franchise is the dame?
Unhealthy food for ppor uneducated people.
Just don't eat this trash.
Ihop has gone down hill. Nowadays i walk in and the place is empty and with one employee who hides in the kitchen or bathroom.
I don't care for ihop. Dennys has always been good especially at truck stops. Ryan's was the $#!+ in my town and Golden Corral came in but it ruined everything. I went to the Golden Corral a few years and only one item was more than semi warm. Screw GC
In the bathroom....how else will the sausage links get made???😂😂😂😂
If everybody's left or goes into hiding, it makes me wonder what you did at IHOP in the past! :)
They should change their name to iHide
I haven’t been to ihop in over a decade. The last time I was going to go, I was college kid and it was late at night. I decided not to go and that turned out to potentially save my life because that IHOP got shot up that evening.
Dennys at 4am is like going to the zoo always something interesting and animalistic
Me and a couple friends went to one at about 3 AM sometime in 2000, tripping on acid and what really did it was our server legit had long vampire fangs. The food hit the spot though and it was quite the ambience for a few 20 something dudes tripping balls. 10/10 definitely recommend.
Honestly did NOT expect to see the “Dennys Grand Slamdance” video LMFAOOOO
Outback used to be awesome.
Their deep fried mushrooms were my fav app.
Unfortunately they became so expensive it's unaffordable to eat there.
Personally, I remember it always being expensive.. and ironically is cheaper with all the grubhub coupons and shit if you live close to one now, but not without.
The portions are so small!
Around 2021, we went to edgewater nj outback for lunch during the week. They gave me a huge portion of fried mushrooms. Maybe it was $8.99
You forgot to mention that Waffle House has its own record label and music.
They covered that on their Waffle House video before. It’s been covered.
By far, my favorite segment was Outback: Paul Hogan was labeled a "knife expert" and you name-dropped Yahoo Serious. You have given me a good morning.
Hogan
@@justayoutuber1906 Thanks, corrected
You mean a G'Day! 😁
If you live in SoCal, the fact about The Cheesecake Factory means that the location at the Topanga mall has the “freshest” cheesecake
The Denny's segment reminded me of when they bought out Jojo's and converted most of them. The Jojo's down the street from me made fresh rolls and breads (SO good!), and they served up a chicken noodle soup that, to this day, was the best I've ever eaten.
RIP, Jojo's, you ARE missed....
I've worked in two chain restaurant kitchens... and man, you could not pay me to eat in one now.
The founder of TGIF created the company specifically so that HE could pick up single girls.
I used to work st a TGIF and there was a creepy manager that used to flirt with the underage hostesses 😂😂
Our little crew came up with the term Hostess with the Mostest !!!!
Oh my that Cilis *NSYNC 🎙️baby back ribs commercial lives rent free in my brain 🧠. Hhahahahah I was like 7/8yrs old when I first saw that commercial talk about nostalgia 😂
@5:37 - Managers that are selected to go to Italy to Olive Garden school is really there for an abridge version of cooking. It is not like they’re in classes the entire time there. It’s more of a paid vacation with a few hours of classes mixed in. It’s all a marketing ploy.
The guy always says, "Befoe we get started..." I'm not used to hearing "before".
From 1995 to 2000, I delivered food to National Chain restaurants. One was Red Lobster. 1999 or 2000 they had a AYCE crab leg promo. I was sent from L.A. to Las Vegas with 45’ trailer FULL OF CRAB LEGS! The stores COULD NOT refuse their order. One store in San Bernardino Ca. ordered more boxes than their freezer could hold. I left them to figure out what to do with all of them…
Marie Calendars, Carrows, Hometown Buffet (if they still have them), Sizzler…
Have you thought about an episode about food containers? Like who did invent the pizza box?

LOVE IT! I have been to all those restaurants!
Crazy video! Cheesecake Factory fact surprised me! 😮 also interesting fact about Denny’s too!❤
Born and raised in Joplin Missouri here, I honestly heard about the Waffle House Index about 5 years before the tornado. It's interesting to know it wasn't an official thing before then. Still learning things about the day almost 13 years later
“If you’re here, you’re family. But have you seen how I treat my family?”
I love this narrator I don’t know why most people hate this narrator
9:21 My aunt is a flight attendant.
Kris Jenner was a flight attendant for American Airlines and apparently was very good at her job.
Even her ex-boyfriend said she was a social person and "was always looking out for the gold at the end of the rainbow" (Distractify)
5:57 I went to an Outback Steakhouse in Charleston, South Carolina, it was the first time I went out with my neighbor/friend in the city.
The IHOP in Vermont is also only open for like 6 hours a day
Went to a TGIF once and had to wait an hour and a half to be seated. And there were emty tables all over in there .
That was the first and only time ever went there. Won't go back to one if they are still around.
well, the jingle he composed gave him the chance to taste the baby back ribs
I haven’t been to IHop in years. I think the last time I ate there was in 2018
Worked at waffle house as a waitress and a cook and not gonna lie i dont ever wanna eat their food ever again lol
8:29 If anyone asked me what type of restaurant Applebee's is, I would tell them it is a Traditional American Cuisine restaurant.
10:47 "Cracker Jack" by Dolly Parton is an awesome music video, such a classic!
"When you're here, your family. "
Eeeeeekk! *flees*
Cracker barrel was awesome in 80s in Alabama.
My mom tried one just opened in 2020's pacific northwest. It was reported to be horrible.
LOL OT level 8 under Tom Cruise's name is a fucking excellent jab.
RIP to the hobbit menu at dennys. Best tie in ever. Won’t ever watch the movie or go back to dennys since it left us
10:35 "I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)" by Alabama is an awesome music video, love it!
11:10 When I lived in Charleston, South Carolina, Denny's was the restaurant the Navy trainees would go to the most (my friend was in the Navy).
Interesting... thank you! 🔗
Needs a bit more moshing at Denny’s! Just got a small taste haha
God... this channel is addicting as Olive Gardens bred sticks...
Have you tried the Red Lobster biscuits? Both owned by the same Company.
@@samiam619my parents used to buy the red lobster biscuits for us to take home.
There’s so many American places I’ve never heard of before 😅
You haven't truly lived, until you've passed out on an IHOP toilet in the wee hours of the morning.
Not my idea of fun…
You should do a video on Arby's!!
You wouldn’t like the video. Their Roast Beef doesn’t start out life as roast beef… I used to deliver their food to them from 1995 to around 1998.
"Roughly" is very accurate lol
Baby back baby back riiiiiibs!
You tube has more commercials than Pluto TV

Chilis back back ribs song is the best! 🍖🎶
I was at a Denneys the other day and say an on picture of a sign said 'Donuts'. I asked the 93 year old woman I was with if she ever remembered that and she said no. Nor do I.
what the fck is up Denny’s is the absolute perfect clip to place in their segment

Ayy, good morning!! 🔥🔥🔥
How you doin'?
good video
The worst meal we were ever served was Red Lobster.
It was our 15th anniversary and everything was terrible.
Crab legs that bent. Scampi was rubbery. Salad was wilted with bad dressing. The dressing was watery mayonnaise. Not ceaser.
100$. Never been back. That was 10 yrs ago. We complained and nothing was done.
I hate knocking this Lady narrator, she’s trying, but the guy just make these videos more entertaining
WN😂
I like the woman more
yooo thats why there so many Vermont license plates in the ihop in upstate NY
the history of lollipops would be good
For the Olive Garden one it’s an odd thing to harp on “guys they’re not locked in the kitchen for a work straight so does it Reeeeassllly count?”
What?
It's not about being locked in a kitchen. It's about whether there's any serious attempts at structured education going on. And the reality is that Olive Garden can't afford to do such a thing, despite the positive PR. If you go to an Olive Garden and look at the plate brought to you, you'll notice that the sauces are spooned on top of the pasta. That's a very American method, but will absolutely get you run out of town in Italy. Italians want their pasta and sauce married together properly!
Why is that a problem? Because taking the time to marry the sauce and pasta in a pan would greatly increase the prep time on Olive Garden dishes. OG wants to achieve "good enough" in a highly structured, hard to mess up fashion that ensures maximum throughput over product quality.
For what they're trying to achieve, a "Hamburger U" type of setting that teaches management techniques would be a more effective approach. But it lacks the PR advantages, so instead they send their managers on all expenses paid vacations with a few fun cooking workshops thrown in.
When push comes to shove, I just want to see the face behind the voice.
Wonderful Southern Midwestern dialect.
All these restaurants microwave meals. Their fast food restaurants.
I dont go to olive garden after 3 different times and states. I grew up with better Italian food in nyc.
Never been to waffle house. Cant recall if i went to cheesecake factory.
Been to dennys in early 2000s maybe twice. Ihop ive been to a few times since i was a child.
I was to Applebee's a few times in late 1990s.
I went to outback with my parents around 2004, and one time in 2021.
The few times i went to Starbucks, i had a gift card. I was at red lobster a few times with my family. The last time was 2005.
TGIFridays and houihans we went to several times in hs and college.
I like to cook and bake. We dont go out to eat much.
Thanks for the info and memories.
Hahaha yeah add Friday's to the literary meeeee
still like Denny’s to this day. I don’t expect greatness. It’s why I still eat there from time to time.
But they BETTER have the Grand Slam available!
Good morning
👍👍
IHOP has turned into Denny's.

Red Lobster encountered too many Homer Simpsons
Waffle House at 5am on a Sunday.. the best ever
Olive garden is disgusting. Tried it once and you couldn’t pay me enough to go again.
Good for you I suppose?
They made a company wide corporate decision to use cheaper, thicker, blander sauce at all locations. I used to love it years ago but every location I go to in northern Illinois is gross
@@sebastiancolyar To me it was sweet sauces, lettuce floating in oil and stale bread. No thanks
@@CanMav that sucks. It was sooo good in the past. I'm an Alfredo fiend and was soooooo disappointed
Vermont really is South Quebec, huh
No contest, Cheesecake Factory hands down. 2nd place isn't even close.
Guy Bommarito: "But why start now?" Sounds like a genius way to promote your own signature dish. What an ass.
If eat apple bees, I only get appetizers
2:49 The first time I ate at a Waffle House was in Columbia, Missouri.
No one cares
How much is red lobster buffet these days?
Since you rarely hear anyone say "IHOP" and "International House of Pancakes" during the same conversation, I didn't realize they were the same place till I was like 28. My city only has one IHOP and I didn't know it existed til I was drunk and everyone wanted to go... at 3AM. Drunk revelations, no matter how stupid, blow your fucking mind!
I didn't know it was the same thing till this video. I thought the international house of pancakes is to be added at the end of IHOP. >
@@starlalilymoon Now, any time we don't understand something stupid obvious, or do/say something without thinking. *SMH* "IHOP" is all you can say.
@@hugeuglygorillaz9599 Indeed xD
@@hugeuglygorillaz9599 The sad part is I'm 35 when I figured this out like today x.x
@@starlalilymoon Nah, if you've never been exposed to something, how can you expect yourself to have knowledge of it? You never hear both names used at once so sometimes the connection just isn't made. Now, if you grew up with your house directly next to an IHOP and didn't make the connection, then... well...
Jollibee?
That's obviously not an American company.
What do you mean by that? It helps to type in complete sentences.

I am shook about the Olive Garden fact, they really do that?! Is it really Italian? Idk lol don’t judge me these are serious questions!
Ever have Maine lobster at Red Lobster? Yet there's not a single Red Lobster restaurant in the whole state.
How ironic
There are barely any waffle houses in the Midwest 😂
Olive Garden sends not cooks to Tuscany.
You guys just HAD to mention ribs to me… 🤤
Why do old people LOVE filet-o-fish? I swear its all they order
10:36 "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels Band is such a great music video!
The song is about the classic deal with the devil, which is best exemplified in the German classic Faust.

8:20 I share a birthday with Shiri Appleby (actress in the tv series Roswell) and Nicole Appleton (sister member of pop duo Appleton and member of the group All Saints).
Since an Apple bee is "a social gathering at which apples are prepared for drying", Applebee's should find celebrities like who have Apple in their family name and have them host an Apple bee.
