Cheesecake Factory Gumbo (Would you eat it?) | Ep. 161
I cannot stop thinking about this girl who said she goes to the Cheesecake Factory and orders gumbo with her entire family. Mind you, I'm someone who frequents a Cheesecake Factory (at the time of uploading, I went four times in September. I'm very serious, not new to this, Im true to this). And yet still - that is insane. Order the chicken Bellagio, kids.
