The search for mediocrity continues!   Join host Michael Ornelas as he gets in the trenches for more chain restaurants than his arteries can handle. Each episode, he'll be joined by a different guest host, and no eatery is off-limits. Season 2 will include fast casual and even fast food spots as the caloric floodgates have been opened. Kicking off November 8th with guest host Rhyan Schwartz, Michael pays a visit to The Melting Pot for some fondue. This season, you can also look forward to restaurants such as Buca di Beppo, Hot Dog on a Stick, Texas Roadhouse, IHOP, a truly national Septemburger tournament bracket, and the second annual Hooter Bowl!
