Susser's intro[]

Louis: Good morning. Steak 'n Shake, Louis speaking. How can I help you?
Evan Susser: Hi. I just wanted to check. Uh. This location in Victorville is a full Steak 'n Shake, correct? With a full menu?
Steak 'N Shake in Victorville
Louis: A full Steak 'n Shake?
Evan: With a full menu?
Louis: Yes.
Evan: OK. 'Cause it's not one of those Steak 'n Shakes by Biglari?
Louis: Well, we got... no, it's a whole Steak 'n Shake restaurant. The only one in California, I believe. We do breakfast until 11 and then lunch. It's open 24 hours.
Evan: Great. Do you have the Side By Side shakes?
Louis: What?
Evan: Do you have the Side By Side milkshakes?
Louis: Yes, we do.
Evan: OK, great. Thank you.
Louis: Alright, no problem.
Evan: Alright, bye.
This week on Doughboys, for the final episode of 2015, we return to Steak 'n Shake.

Season's Eatings 🎄[]
This is a new segment during which the Doughboys try a variety of holiday-themed snacks.
The snacks eaten in this segment are a Pepperidge Farm GingerMan, Junior Mints Peppermint Crunch, Jelly Belly Holiday Favorites, Reese's Trees, Peeps Milk Chocolate Covered Mint Marshmallow Trees, Horizon Organic Eggnog and a plain loaf of challah bread. (See pics below.)
The Doughboys simply eat everything, narrating as they go; they do not rate anything on any scale.
Nick does not like Christmas-flavored snacks at all, and wants to leave them all on the side of the road to die (except the Reese's and challah bread).
Quotes[]
| “ | Worst year of my life. The show I was on got canceled, back-and-forth relationship thing ended, one of my best friends died, I thought that I was old and a loser for most of the year, and on top of it all -- Doughboys started. The worst thing of all was that Doughboys started. | ” |

Satisfied Reviewers 🌟[]
Somewhat akin to the Unsatisfied Yelper segment, Evan Susser tried to find some unsatisfied reviews of Doughboys. However, he was unsuccessful, and only finds 5 star glowing reviews. He reads some:
| “ | I never realized I wanted to listen to an in-depth analysis of chain restaurants, but it turns out... I DO! The podcast is fun and enjoyable and the hosts have a great rapport. Yet another fantastic podcast from the Feral Audio network! | ” |
| “ | "Doughboys: Not Half Baked"
Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell. Two comedian/writers doing a podcast about chain restaurants? No, they're not food critics and that's what makes it a great idea! They think like the Joe Everyman (a pretty enlightened thinker, from what I here) and analyze their dining experiences like I, and I assume others, would. |
” |
| “ | If I wanted to start a podcast, this is exactly what I would do. | ” |

The Feedbag[]
| “ | I really enjoy eating fast food, but my wife on the other hand is an extremely healthy eater. Since we've been together I eat a lot healthier than I used to (and that's a good thing), but I still crave junk food. Out of curiousity, do your significant others (past or present) discourage unhealthy eating?
My wife does not support most chain restaurants, but I love the occasional chicken tender or burger meal, but I have to eat it alone and/or behind her back. Love the podcast! If you guys ever take it on the road and swing through Oklahoma, there's a local chain here called Braum's that is tasty. Great burgers and ice cream. You can find a handful of them on the outskirts of Dallas too. Howdy Ho to Spoon Nation! |
