Starting point is 00:00:00 From this point forward, the word cheese will be bleeped because Michael finds it offensive. Hello and welcome back to the Fine Dining Podcast, the search for the most mediocre restaurant in America. I'm your host, Michael Ornelas. This is the show where I'm looking for the most mediocre restaurant, that perfect 5.00 out of 10. Because people say something's good, something's bad. I need to know based on what.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Against what, you know, where does it become good, where does it become bad? There's a bar there, mom. There's a switchover point. I am joined by my own mother this week. Hello. Hello, mother. So glad to be back, Michael. And we are doing this in your game room. I am on the road.
Starting point is 00:00:42 I am home for the holidays. I know this is gonna come out quite a bit later. So we went to Hawaii. Can proud mama take a minute here. Michael trained all year to run his first marathon. First and last marathon. First marathon and what a better place than to go to Hawaii in December.
Starting point is 00:01:06 What's funny is the entire reason that I picked it, if you listen to I think it's the Papadot episode a year ago, I set some New Year's resolutions. The other one was to get a six pack and that didn't happen. Well, there's always next year. There's always, now we're two months into this year. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's always next year. There's always. Now we're two months into this year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I wanted to run the.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I wanted to set a goal to run a marathon just as a. I'm getting older. Can I? I saw the little medals that you get and I'm like, I want one of those. I'll take a picture and put it up here. We are on YouTube. If you feel like watching this, it's very much a makeshift set right now. We're just in your game room. But we're on a little bit of a high, returning from Hawaii having a great time. It's nice. Yeah. So I wanted to do a chain restaurant while I was there. And thanks to Vivi in my last episode, she had the same idea. So she actually looked up a restaurant that you can only find in Waikiki.
Starting point is 00:02:06 We went to Chisburg in Paradise, which used to be a chain, and now we're down to one. But this is another restaurant based off of Jimmy Buffett's music. And Chisburg in Paradise is historic. I am so excited we got to travel to Hawaii to review a restaurant, Michael. We'll get to it, but, not to impress Your table is ready Complimentary butter and bread These walls have growth signs Nick, Knack, Cowboy, Hat, Good luck, Hat,
Starting point is 00:02:52 Altograph, Guitar, Some crap from your city Behold the trash key of mediocrity Fine dining It's just fine dining Fine dining Two ledgers on the sign are shining, Neil flickering irregular timing, identify the perfect vibe. How the 10? Fine dining, fine dining.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I'm Chris Morocco, food director of Bon Appetit and Epicurious, and this is Dinner SOS, a new podcast from Bon Appetit. On each episode, we'll take a call from a home cook facing a real dinner emergency. Then, I'll work with one of our editors or someone from our amazing test kitchen to try and solve it. Because cooking for the people you love should inspire joy without a side of stress. Make sure you're following Dinner SOS wherever you're listening now.
Starting point is 00:03:56 First impressions. What are you doing? Did you get Hawaiian lace for us to wear right now? I did. I'm trying to recreate our aloha spirit, if you will. Okay. So here we go. Putting on some lace.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Great. Okay. Okay. So our first impressions of Chips Burger in Paradise now for those of you listening It's very unfortunate. This place has Chips in the name. I don't like Chips. I have a disdain for Chips So every time you hear the word Chips it is bleeped It is a no fly zone for Chips on the fine dining podcast Luckily, I love Chips so I can fill in the the gaps for today, Michael. Yeah, but like literally every time I say the name
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's bleep burger in paradise Yeah So there was like a Hawaiian music Hall of Fame or walk of Fame Basically along the street right next to this burger in paradise. And it started there. So there were little placards with QR codes, and you could learn about different personalities in it. And I went to the starting point, which is right at the front of burger in paradise. I scan it. And I saw something I've never seen before. It said QR code exceeded. So I guess too many people scanned it and they didn't pay for... I didn't even know that could possibly be a thing that you have
Starting point is 00:05:33 to pay for the number of scans people can make for you. Interesting. But yeah, too many people had scanned that sign. I don't know if it's a monthly thing or just that sign that they clearly spent time and money to put together this plaque with this QR code. Interesting. I wonder if it's just done. Well, I kind of think that's your generation probably not scanned as much from mine because I happen to miss that, although I did see you over there trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Well, yeah, because it said it was exceeded. I was like, how do I read about what this walk of fame even is? And then there were a few more for like individuals that were in that hall of fame, and those QR codes were working. So I'm guessing a bunch of people just gave up when they saw the first one didn't work and wouldn't move on because the second, third, and fourth one all did work. Okay. There was a tropical Santa Claus out front, like an automated. Very vintage Santa. But very Hawaiian. Oh yeah, for sure. He was drinking out of coconut with a straw coming out of it. And so realistic. I actually had to look at his feet to see if it wasn't real Santa.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But even then. So he was pretty realistic. But even then, he's wearing flip flops. Like he has actual, they didn't give up at the bottom of this Santa mannequin. He's in a Hawaiian shirt and he's got like the, the beaded Christmas lights around his neck and he's got sunblock on his nose.
Starting point is 00:07:02 It's very, honestly, it's a very good animatronic. That's the word. But then he's on like a dolly. Yeah, that gave it away. Yeah. Instead of a surfboard. But, but yeah, I mean, outside very tropical. You walk in there's kind of like a sports bar feel almost like a tropical sports bar. There are a lot of TVs with like the game. I think at one point I counted the TVs. So it's definitely a place you can sit and watch your favorite game and the surfers at the same time. Open air, lots of bamboo and texturing. And I think Michael that's called clapboard that the exterior is made of, which was very historic.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I think the original location was in a very historic Lahaina and all of the buildings were made of that. So I think that's where that came from. So if you look in Waikiki, you don't see a whole lot of clay. That style. Yeah. Buildings. Gotcha. One thing I did notice is that on the door or like the pillar right next to the entranceway, it said, we're going to be closing early and closed all day the next day for an employee Christmas party.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Oh, that's nice. But I think it may have impacted the service that we got because they knew, like, no one works their hardest on a half day. When you know, like, oh, I'm off at noon, you know, you go in at 9am, you're not exactly putting in your best work. And I feel like that's reflective of the experience that we got. I feel like I'm previewing a little bit too much the atmosphere and the service that we got, so I'll save that for part two.
Starting point is 00:08:46 In the meantime, Mom, you kept using the word historic. Do you want to learn the history of the sh** burger in paradise restaurant franchise? I would love to. Oh, you would love to? I would. Well, I have prepared some meat dates. Eat dates. Eatery details.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Now mom, as we both know, my mom listens to every episode of the podcast and is never satisfied with the sound effects used. I have EatDeets, the era of easy listening. It's like soft jazz. Is that OK with you? I love it, Michael. Do you? Are you going to come back to me in like two weeks and be like, you know what, that sounds abrasive. Change it again. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:09:42 For now, I can play it. For now I can play it. Founded in Lahaina on the northwest coast of Maui in 1989 by Laren Lauren LA but there's no you Lauren Gartner and Edna Baylif. Of course, it's named after the Jimmy Buffett tune. Makes sense. Thanks, Mom. I'm still warming up. Yeah. Eat Deets. Before breaking into the Chisburgers business, Gartner and Baylif were picture framers who sold their work at flea markets in Orange County for 11 years. In 1986, they vacationed in Lahaina and found themselves hankering for a gooey five napkin sh** burger.
Starting point is 00:10:30 That is the impression most people had of sh** burger in Paradise. I feel like it's the expectation people had. Okay. Yeah. I don't know if I'd say they delivered. Again, we had an employee party that day. Is that right? Sure.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And that includes the chefs. I did. It most definitely included the chefs. Yeah. E.D.s. Six months later, they went to work. Despite having zero experience in the restaurant industry, the founders were determined.
Starting point is 00:11:04 They bought a book on business plans. Is that like business for dummies? Business for business. The burger restaurant for dummies. Exactly. Sold their house and framing business, ran up their credit cards, borrowed half a million dollars from family and friends,
Starting point is 00:11:20 and flew back to Hawaii. And you said they had a framing shop. Yeah. OK. Well, that's kind of interesting. And this was in Lahaina. Is that right? The original one? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. Lahaina, as I knew it, is full of photography shops. Makes sense. You're in one of the most scenic places in the world. So at least in the country. I could see maybe that initial draw for them. And also, if you're making framing, it means that you probably have some skills with woodworking, which I think goes to the decor because this did feel
Starting point is 00:11:51 like a studio set. Like, you know, I'm in Hollywood and I occasionally see film sets and stuff. And this definitely looked like a set piece. The way that the details that like you mentioned, the bamboo, the fans were the reed fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. The concept was simple and catered to tourists like themselves. Chipsburgers, which Gartner and Baylif claim are more fun than hamburgers. Go Chips.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I wholeheartedly disagree and I feel like they are not respecting people who don't like ch**s. They should just call it burger in paradise. You know, Michael, I can't believe we're related. Based on our... Y'all heard it here first. I'm being kind of disowned by my mom. You're not my son.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Ch**s is amazing. All kinds of. And I don't know. I just. Oh, gross. Anyways, burgers, my ties and rock and roll was the guiding principles of this place. The field.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It beats. The slogan is aloha spoken here. I had always thought aloha was just hello and goodbye. And then this is my third time to Hawaii. And this is the first time where I've heard the term like the aloha spirit and like capture the essence of aloha. Aloha is the all encompassing word in Hawaii. Which I honestly think just means we're relaxed and not too concerned with your service. We're a little laid back. Yeah. Yeah. As you might guess, the name got them in trouble with Jimmy Buffett.
Starting point is 00:13:48 In 1997, the singer sued the founders for illegally using the name of his song. This came eight years after the original location was founded, but seems to be sparked by Gartner and Bayliff's plans to expand to Southern California. So now they're encroaching on, you know, the mainland turf. Yeah, they're just not way out there. Out of sight, out of mind. No, it's like, oh, now you're coming on my corner.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You're moving towards Florida. I think Jimmy Buffett's home was Florida. Yeah. Yeah. And Southern California. You know, it's getting close. Yeah. Closer to Florida than Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Eight days. The case wasn't as clear cut as it might sound. Back in 1993, the U.S. Trademark Office granted Gartner and Balef permission to use the title. Interesting. So they trademarked it. So they were legal. Well, because I think it's, you can trademark for specific purposes. So if you do it for food and beverage or restaurant or whatever, it's different than song, even merchandise. They probably would have had conflicting cases when it comes to selling t shirts. I was going to say merchandise for sure.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah, because the restaurant might want to sell some and Jimmy Buffett might want to sell some and they would both be in conflicting positions for that. It eats. Buffett wasn't deterred saying, yeah, you can jump somebody on a copyright, but it still doesn't make it right. Right. I mean, I do it is very clear that they were coattail writing when they named their place. Oh, for sure. That said, it is a natural title to arrive at. I'm opening a burger place in Hawaii. What do I want to call it?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Right. With some of the most amazing sunsets in the world, I might add from that location. So, you know, burger in paradise, it makes a lot of sense to name it that, even if you didn't know, not that they didn't, but not even if you didn't know that it was a Jimmy Buffett song. Right. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yeah. He also claims that he met with the founders in 1992 and told them that as long as they stayed in Hawaii, he wouldn't bother them, but he would resist any expansion. The founders tell a different story, claiming he never mentioned anything of the sort. The dispute got bitter. Buffett says the founders bend the rules. He had his friend go into Oh my God. Did he have like- We're in a Hawaiian shirt, I'm sure. A big fake beard as though without a beard they would be like, hey, you're Jimmy Buffett's friend.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Get out of here. Yeah. And asked them if Jimmy Buffett owned a piece of the place. Supposedly, they said Buffett was a silent partner. Oh. He's not. They're trying to coast on the Buffett name. Yeah. So now you're taking the title and
Starting point is 00:16:47 you're implying his involvement. Exactly. A little shady. Yeah. Eat Deets. In the end, after a four-year trademark dispute, the founders were granted permission to call their first two locations, Sh**burger and Paradise, but they were prevented from using the name for any future locations. Okay. Is that how you understood it as well? Because we knew of the Hawaii locations. Right. So there're taking that and manipulating it a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which that location seems to be closed now. The history is especially confusing because Buffett
Starting point is 00:17:39 himself actually owned a fast casual chain also called burger in paradise from 2002 to 2020. it's now defunct. But to be clear, the restaurants are not affiliated. Oh, that would be confusing. Yeah. Years later, Gartner said about the suit. Are there hard feelings? Let's see. I've doubled the business and I'm close to tripling it since the settlement of the suit. Are there hard feelings? Let's see. I've doubled the business and I'm close to tripling it since the settlement of the lawsuit. Nah, I don't have any hard feelings. Well, they say there's no such thing as bad press, is that?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, but it's like you piggybacked off of Jimmy Buffett. Oh, for sure. If Jimmy Buffett isn't okay with that, you're not allowed to be mad at him. You know what you did. Eat Deets. She noted the suit forced her to consider her brand and see the value of what was right in front of her. The Ch** Burger, not the Paradise.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Nowadays, the parent company is called Ch** Burger's Ink. Okay. Which, honestly, I'm very surprised that the rights to that were available. Seriously. Yeah. The La Jaina Location became a two-story bungalow, but originally the restaurant only occupied the top floor with seating for 66, and featured a space for live music with performances every night.
Starting point is 00:19:07 There's not many places that you can get live music every night. I wonder if they had Jimmy Buffett cover band. Because that's kind of the expectation. Like because when I went to Margaritaville, it was like 95% Jimmy Buffett music being piped in. Yeah. And I always thought that this restaurant until I looked into it for this episode, I thought that it was correlated with Jimmy Buffett. And Michael, I did until we started talking. Until I started reading E-Deep.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah. Yeah. E-Deep. The theming is the quintessential tourist's idea of Hawaii. The servers, including the men, wear Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts over shorts. There's bamboo and ukuleles on the wall. And they have a Chips Burger Challenge. If you can finish a burger with three patties, all the fixings, bacon, fried egg, kalua pork, jalapenos, and an onion ring, plus a mound of ch** fries in under
Starting point is 00:20:06 20 minutes, it's on the house. Otherwise, it's $35. Apparently, it's popular for couples to get one to share. That doesn't sound like an eating challenge to share it with someone. It doesn't and there's nothing that sounds appealing about just pounding your food and being able to taste it maybe I don't know Are you in a rush? If you're in a rush and you want free food something like this might be good Someone else is waiting on the sunset table. That's true. Yeah, so they'll put you right by the while someone else is like
Starting point is 00:20:42 Eats According to Lauren one of their secrets to their success is customer care. Uh, debatable. But we'll chat later. We'll get to that. She claims that Mastercard and Visa analyzed their sales and found an inordinately high number of return customers. So high in fact that they thought there was some kind of mistake at first the Yelp reviews
Starting point is 00:21:06 Which we'll get to in a bit the overall score was higher than I expected it to be I mean it's still not like crazy high, but I think it had like a 3.6. It had like a few thousand reviews Well, I just think it's a quintessential Party atmosphere. Yeah, and when you're in Hawaii, you're chilling, you've got your Hawaiian shirt on. It's got great real estate. Yeah. It's very inviting, but then once you're in, to me, it didn't feel like an experience that's inviting me back. Yeah, it didn't quite deliver as much as I'd hoped. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 But the cult status of Shepard Burger and Paradise is real. Apparently dozens of fans have had their ashes scattered outside the restaurant. Wow. A vial containing the ashes of a loyal customer named Paul is mounted on a wall. The founders said they won't be doing that again. Everyone has a place that's close to their heart, but like, is this okay? But I'm kind of wondering with that whole Jimmy Buffett affiliation, how many of those return customers think that think that they are supporting Jimmy Buffett.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah. Also, like, there's so many pretty places in Hawaii and you want your ashes eternally at Chicksburger in Paradise? Well, it could be the party atmosphere that they're looking for in there forever. Yeah. Their original location moved around 18,000 Chicksburgers per month. In total, their sales were around $27 million per year. That's a lot of burgers. It's a lot of meat. Tons of chips. And in $35 increments, you can get it for free if you just pound it as quick as you can.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Some servers reportedly clocked in over $ hundred thousand dollars in tips per year. That's amazing. Because you're in a place where it's tourists almost exclusively. Right. And it's a place that's not cheap to go to. It's not. So it's tourists that have a little bit of, you know, disposable income. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:19 So. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't sound like the worst gig. Eat Deets. In August 2023, the original Lahaina location burned to the ground after Hurricane Dora and a wildfire swept through the town. That is devastating. I mean, just the entire fire to Lahaina was...
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah, not just in particular, um, J.S.B.G.R. in Paradise. Just Lahaina is, um, one of the most amazing Hawaii experiences. And you were a travel agent for years and years and wasn't Lahaina like your go-to My hub. Send people away their spot? Back in the early 80s, I was, I guess, considered the Hawaii specialist in particular Maui. Bringing the Hawaii hit squad. It's just Sue with a...
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, sent so many honeymooners and families to Maui and it was like a piece of home. I had probably been to Maui over time, a dozen times. Oh, really? Yeah. You've gone that much. I have. Not even just sending people there. No, I have. Wild. Now, it doesn't look like they're rebuilding.
Starting point is 00:24:30 There are questions about soil toxicity from the fire and a lengthy cleanup slash beach restoration process. The founders have decided to leave Lahaina and Gartner says she doubts the city will allow anyone to build on the beach again. Yeah. So it's heartbreaking, but I think Lahina will forever live in so many people's memories and in our hearts and feel for the people that went through that. Anyways, on that unfortunate note, that'll do it for this week's Eat Deets.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Anyways, on that unfortunate note, that'll do it for this week's Eat Deets. Before I continue any further, I wanna thank all of my new listeners from SF Sketch Fest.

Starting point is 00:25:47 Before we can give our review, we need to know what other people are saying about Sh** burger in paradise in this week's Yelp from Strangers. We need a little yelp, a little yelp, a little yelp from strangers. A one star, two star, three star, four by eye. So get a little yelp, a little yelp, a little yelp from strangers. A little yelp, a little yelp. Give us those complaints while you're literally white and dying. Yelp!
Starting point is 00:26:22 Alright, this is Yelp from Strangers, our segment where we go to Yelp and read out our favorite one, two, three, four and five star Yelp reviews of the very restaurant at which we dined at. Mom, do you mind if I start us off? You go right ahead. Five star review. I'm going to go in with a five star review. This is from Nora R. from Teja Chappy, California. I know Teja Chappy. On mic. Go ahead and just say that to the best of your ability.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Teja Chappy. Okay. Yeah. She has one Yelp friend, 42 Yelp reviews. this is from May 10th, 2022, 5 stars. This place may have 3.5 stars on Yelp, but it has 1000 stars in my heart. To be honest, I walked in here expecting the bare minimum. I was turned away from two previous restaurants due to max capacity and reservation requirements and due to my hangry nature, just strolled into Chisburg and Paradise, expecting a Torsi tourist trap.
Starting point is 00:27:31 But all that changed when I was seated. My waitress, my incredible waitress, Wenna. Wow, she was amazing. Recommended the best dishes, the wings, the coconut shrimp, the fish tacos, her favorite drinks. We all enjoyed ourselves thanks to her. Her sass, her winks. She was everything and more. The bar is raised, the treatment she gave me was 1,000 stars!
Starting point is 00:28:02 Her quickness, quirkiness, and more was more than enough to come back. I will think about her for years to come. I would leave this woman in my will. Wow! She's a big fan of Wenna. I'd like to meet her. She's not who we have. No. I will name my next child after her and you can bet your behind on it that I tipped her well over 20% and you should too. Give peace a chance and give this place one too. Ask for Wenna. I give this place more stars than the night sky all because of Wenna. So my only question for you is, when it gonna come?
Starting point is 00:28:47 When it gonna come? What's interesting to me, so on Yelp, you can vote if you think a review is useful, funny or cool, and for as much as they were trying for funny, no one has selected funny on this one. But all, but both the other two have. Okay, so how believable was that? I think it was written by when. When from. California.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So wow. Four star review. This is a four star review from ho ho ho bee from IEA Hawaii from November 1st of 2023, pretty recent. Went at around 7 p.m. on Halloween. They were banging busy. Wait for two people was less than 10 minutes though. We sat at a table in the bar area so we could see the action. That place. What action? The bar area doesn't face the ocean. Like that's the thing you want the view of. What action? Like they just want to see the bartender making drinks, I guess? I think at a place like Chisburg or in Paradise that the bartender probably does a lot of fun. Oh, like showmanship.
Starting point is 00:30:02 You're speculating though. You don't know. I am because we did not see that. But maybe that's what we're talking about here. The action. The Pina Coladas, whatever. I'll give it to them. That place runs like a well-oiled machine. Everyone knew their job and did it well. Not the experience we had. No. There was an older man busing tables and he was bussin' ass too. He was on top of clearing.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Mom, can you look directly into the camera and read that sentence again? There was an older man bussin' tables and he was bussin' ass too. Does that work for you? Great. So dramatic. He was on top of clearing every table as soon as it was vacated impressive. Our server Nestor was great. He kept our water filled. That's important. Took our order pretty quickly and explained menu clearly. Food came out fast. Considering how busy they were, even the food runner was a pleasant woman. Remember that. Burgers were good. Bun was soft. Onion rings crispy. Yes, I'd go back to eat. Takeaway employees are all well-trained, good at what they do from hostesses to servers, cooks,
Starting point is 00:31:15 food runners, and especially the busser. Food is well done. Bravo, Chipsburger in Paradise. You can go download our full Yelp from Strangers segment at our Patreon.
