Fieri finds himself leaping from diner to drive-in to dive, striving to eat what once went unnoticed and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Cool cool cool.

Moving on to the rewriting history move from the authoritarian regime playbook.

That was just for a few hours in what ended up being an 8-year presidency. This doofus 👆🏻 has only been VP for six and a half *months.*

Remember when Barack took Michelle on a dinner date in NYC because he completely upended their lives by becoming potus and he just wanted to do something nice and normal for his wife and there was a complete and utter meltdown about the taxpayer money of it all?
