    What's with all these "on location" eps they've been making lately? And
    why the hell did she drag all that equipment ( but no fridge) to the
    parking lot of a DRIVE IN RESTAURANT? I can only guess she was barred
    from entering the
    kitchen where the real cooking was happening.

    "Sweet potato chili fries" made without sweet potatoes. Thank GAWD.
    SLop took a bag of Oreida fries and redundantly seasoned them, then put
    them on the grill, one fry at a time instead of just dumping them and
    spreading them out.

    SLop claimed that Rudy's was selling walnut burgers twenty years ago
    when she was in college spending al her time there and when she invented AVOCADO hamburgers. Yeah, right.

    SLop made a walnut burger (did it contain walnuts? I don't recall seieng
    her dump them into th blender) patty looked more like a lump that was
    about to fall apart and started to place it on the grill when we
    suddenly cut to a shot of MV's hands gingerly placing a perfectly-formed
    patty on the grill, followed by a quick return to SLop. Heh.

    SLop tried to make mini-corn dogs out of cocktail sausages.Alas, no hand
    jobs this time. I was very disappointed when SLop nibbled on that corn
    dog in lieu of deep-throating it. Very disappointed.

    Did you know C’lleen had never had avocado on a hamburger before she met
    Sandy? Now you know. Again.

    Dad joined me at this point after seeing the classic cars in the lot
    behind SLop. SLop blathered about how some people like thir sauce hot
    and some like it sweet, so by combining the two, everyone would be
    happy. Huh? As SLop mulched the bottled pickeled peppers, Dad commented
    on how he expected to see some fingers in those mulched peppers. Heh.
    BTW, I think you can buy that relish at the store under the name
    "Chow-Chow".

    SLop boiled down some root beer and added some sugar. Really?

    As darkness approached (did it take her that long to film this ep?),
    SLop babbled something about how she lurves how it looks like a city of
    lights when they turn them on. Thankfully, she did not mention France.

    We laughed out loud about SLop giving out mini squeeze-bottles of
    ketchup because everyone argues over ketchup. SLop gushed about these
    cool snap apart place settings she found online somewhere [1], but holy
    crap, they cost $12 for a set of four! How the hell is that going to
    save one money?
