The Raven

Joker Wiger, Jason, The Batspoonman
Nick runs through the history during the episode, but this restaurant was included during Shockdoughbooerdeath because the founder of Zankou killed his sister and mother before killing himself. The article about it is here.

| Amelia Marino | - | 4.5 forks |
Amelia's score is non-canonical, and not factored into any scoring.
With these scores, Zankou makes the Platinum Plate Club!
Joker Wiger likes chaos though and keeps it out of the The Devil's Meal (when it gets 3 six fork scores). Still, Zankou is the highest-rated chain ever on Doughboys (just passing Guisados).
Slop Quiz: Trick or Treat edition[]
turnip Jack-O-Lantern
In Slop Quiz, Murder Boy presents a food-related exam (pop quiz) and Batspoonman and the guest compete for superiority.
The theme for this episode was Halloween trivia. If it's true, it's a treat; false, trick.
| clue | Batspoonman's guess | Jason's guess | correct | score (MM - JM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before Jack-O-Lanterns were pumpkins, turnips were commonly used. | - | Trick | Treat | 0 - 0 |
| In 2018, Burger King's Nightmare King did not induce nightmares. | Treat | - | Trick | 0 - 0 |

| In 2022, Domino's Japan offered a Halloween Pizza laced with a laxative. | - | Trick | Trick | 3 - 3 |
Jason and Batspoonman tied, but Jason knew the tiebreaker question for knowing the pronunciation of "Samhain" (the ancient Celtic festival in one of the above trivia).
So Jason wins!
