    Bernie, Scott, and Dwayne are back—and yes, they've dragged themselves out of their food comas for a very special episode of Bernappetit. This time, they're tackling the saucy, sizzling enigma that is Chili's Grill & Bar. Is it a restaurant? A vibe? A state of mind? The boys dig deep into molten cake memories, fajita sizzles that haunt their dreams, and whether the Baby Back Ribs jingle still slaps (spoiler: it does). But that's not all—they're also looking back at a year of fast food highs and horrifying lows. From questionable chicken sandwiches to late-night drive-thru existential crises, it's a full-flavored reflection on the moments that made them laugh, cry, and maybe need antacids. Pull up a sticky booth, order something deep-fried, and join us for the reunion episode no one asked for—but everyone secretly needed.
