Season 3 Episode 4: Arctic Circle feat. Santa Claus (Christmas)

In this episode of "Fine" Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:

​

â—‹ What a get! This week, I had the honor of taking Santa Claus himself to the restaurant that makes the absolute most sense to review with Kris Kringle: Arctic Circle. If you don't know it, think Dairy Queen Grill & Chill. They do the dipped cone thing but more importantly, they claim to have invented fry sauce
â—‹ Not only do we get the history of this chain and fry sauce itself, but there's a lot of genuinely fascinating Santa Claus lore that I didn't know!

â—‹ Is Santa Claus technically a cryptid?

â—‹ A baffling viral mishap regarding mac & cheese
â—‹ A Yelper does not appreciate the attitude of the employees after her bun falls apart
