Best Patios, Netflix Bites and the Chili Crusade

About this episode

The episode discusses the best patios in D-FW, Netflix's food offerings, and the controversy surrounding Chili's menu changes.

Summer is almost here and that means it's officially patio season — even if not everyone is thrilled about it. We're breaking down the best patios in D-FW for dining and drinking al fresco, and yes, one of us will admit on the record that patios are overrated. We also have the latest on what Netflix is serving up in the food world, plus a closer look at Theodore's, the new restaurant that's moved into the old Campo Verde space.And then there's the chili situation. Chili's took chili off the menu and our listeners have feelings. Big feelings. We read some of the emails you sent in — including one man's surprisingly well-thought-out campaign to bring it back. His ideas? Actually pretty good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
