On the Border's "Guacamole Live" Is a National Treasure

🌮🔥🥑 On the Border Review: Guacamole Glory, Taco Chips, and The Chili's Test 🥑🔥🌮

We're back with Part 2 of On the Border, and this time Trent Tucker (@TheGOTSPod) and I actually sit down to eat at the former Brinker sibling to Chili's. There are highs. There are lows. There is guacamole made tableside that absolutely slaps. We also encounter a manager radiating peak "Karen energy," raid a Little Free Library mid-meal, and hear "Cable Car" by The Fray so many times it becomes psychological warfare.

🥑 Guacamole Live Is a Legitimate Triumph
🌮 Flautas That Do NOT Live Up to the Ornelas Family Name
🧂 Chips and Salsa Are Decent, But Why Are the Chips Half a Taco Shell?
🎶 "Cable Car" by The Fray Plays an Unreasonable Number of Times
📚 Little Free Library Raid Yields a Parody Songbook and an Education on Spiders
😬 A Manager Check-In That Screams "I'd Like to Speak to…"
🎙️ Trent Shares His Best Meal Ever: Ramen in Japan
🌴 His Worst Meal Ever: A Burger from Rainforest Cafe
📊 On the Border Faces The Chili's Test

💬 COMMENT BELOW: Is tableside guac enough to overcome weird taco chips?
