What he said
“Does the Ocean Garden buffet deserve 3.5 stars? I'm gonna Say no. I think they deserve 4.2 stars.”
“I mean, they had pizza, and it was good. You know, I think it was frozen, but, I mean, that's all I'm asking anymore.”
“I couldn't tell if it was an Olive Garden or a Chinese buffet.”
“I'm definitely fucking gooning. I'm gooning my pants off right now.”
“It's actually pretty good. If Shrek were here, he would dig this.”
“Not only that, we're in the target parking lot over here.”

- Aquarium: The aquarium is way too small for those fish. 00:31
Also noticed
- In the Target parking lot, entered next to a beauty supply store. Inside it looks like an Olive Garden, or a vineyard, with '90s décor and something broken in one display. 00:10
- A backsplash like his meemaw's kitchen on the tables, and real (not painted) glass designs: 'They spent some real money on this.' No divider, so you watch other people eat. 02:27
- His first stuffed onion. 01:56
- His first coconut chicken; usually it's coconut shrimp. 01:22
- Garlic bread that made him feel like he was at a five-star restaurant. 01:39
