Since your only experience of TV is from utube, and are looking to visit for the first time n March, might want to wait a bit before critiquing the mega restaurant groups in TV. What one thinks is fine dining, others think mediocre at best. Some love ihop, McD’s, Waffle House, others travel out of the bubble to find better food, not so much better prices. Food tastes are regional, so adjusting is inevitable.

Many are good with menu prices, others want the same experience under $10.00. It’s all about expectations, where you dine previously, and how you choose to adapt. That said we dine at home with exceptional food, with perfectly paired wine. If we choose to dine out it’s is rarely in TV. Although if looking for something after golf, Boosters can deliver a mid rare burger, which is very hard to find, something perfectly cooked in all our years here.
