[00:01:55] TREY GERRALD: com slash review that review. Chelsey girl, how's that week going? 

[00:01:59] CHELSEY DONN: The week is going well. I went to a friend's house that had cats yesterday and I have like a delayed react, like people that have cats don't believe that I'm allergic to cats because I don't always have a reaction in the moment. 

[00:02:13] TREY GERRALD: Oh. 

[00:02:13] CHELSEY DONN: But like, by the time I get home that evening, I'm like, a mess, 

[00:02:18] TREY GERRALD: I'm 

[00:02:18] CHELSEY DONN: over Zyrtec 

[00:02:19] TREY GERRALD: ing, just to 

[00:02:20] CHELSEY DONN: try to get back to baseline, so, that's where I'm at.

[00:02:24] TREY GERRALD: What does it show up as, like, stuffy nose, or do you have like, hives and stuff? 

[00:02:27] CHELSEY DONN: Stuffy nose, itchy eyes. Like, throat kind of, like, scratchy, phlegmy, just, not, like, anaphylactic, God forbid, like, I can't breathe, but, like, just, like, I'm uncomfortable, you know, like, the orifices from which I breathe are, like, we're annoyed with you, you know?

[00:02:47] TREY GERRALD: I think it is, like, actually, it's the dander that humans are allergic to, because, like, I think I have that thing with cats, too, because my sister has cats. I always get, like, little, like, red hives. Like, it's always right here on my hands, and I have to, like, overload on allergy medicine because Even 

[00:03:05] CHELSEY DONN: when you, like, don't touch them, you still get the Well, yeah.

[00:03:08] CHELSEY DONN: I'm, like, so cautious. Like, I don't sit on fabric chair. If I'm sitting on a chair, it's a wood chair. Like, I'm very methodical about it. But even just whatever is in the air, I It gets, it gets to 

[00:03:21] TREY GERRALD: the cats like come to you because you're so uninterested. 

[00:03:25] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah. The cats are a big fan of mine. I, yeah, I get them all the time.

[00:03:29] CHELSEY DONN: And the thing is, I love animals. That's what sucks. Like I found out that I was allergic to cats because I was staying in a friend's house that had a cat and I was like, I want to play with your cat. And then, then I almost died. Cause I was like really in the cat's face. So it sucks. Like cats, like. Want to come to me because they think I'm playing hard to get.

[00:03:46] CHELSEY DONN: And I'm like, this isn't a game. This is life. 

[00:03:52] TREY GERRALD: Anyway, so is that your complaint? I don't know. I guess that 

[00:03:55] CHELSEY DONN: could be my complaint. Ledge a complaint. I'll let you talk about your week. 

[00:04:01] TREY GERRALD: Well, I wasn't even going to mention this because I was like, should this be a complaint? And then I was like, I don't know.

[00:04:06] TREY GERRALD: It's so I was editing an episode. I'll go ahead and say that it's episode 48, I had gotten all the way to the very end when we had just concluded The Royal Highness, and my laptop, I keep it plugged in all the time because I work at an actual desk, so the minute it's unplugged, There's like a 12 minute shelf life before the battery just dies because I've destroyed it.

[00:04:33] TREY GERRALD: Well, it fell out and I was like, I don't, I'm too late. Like, I just want to hurry. You know, I was like, I bet I had forgotten we had a Royal Review that episode. So I was like, I'm nearly done. I'm just going to pound through this. It'll be great. And then of course I forgot and my computer literally died and I was like, Oh, Oh no.

[00:04:51] TREY GERRALD: I like was like, don't forget it's going to be like, it like auto saves. It's going to be okay. So then I plugged my computer back in and it was like, the dead kind where it was like a black screen and then there was like dash dash dash dash dash dash uploading and it fully uploaded i tried to open it and it was like this closed without being saved would you like to open from a snapshot and i was like yes and then it was like error opening 404 negative And I was like, what?

[00:05:18] TREY GERRALD: So then I was like, Googling, Okay, let me look at my time machine. So I haven't backed up my computer since January. So that wasn't going to help me. And then I was like, Oh, okay. So cutting to the chase. I literally lost the entire episode and I had to start Completely from scratch, which was fine. I love, I love spending that much time with our voices, Chelsey.

[00:05:41] CHELSEY DONN: I'm sure you do, Trey. But you know what? 

[00:05:44] TREY GERRALD: Lesson learned the minute that, um, cord falls out, I can't be lazy. Cause I'm going to pay for it in the end, which is usually how procrastination works anyway. So, oh my 

[00:05:54] CHELSEY DONN: God, I'm so sorry. 

[00:05:55] TREY GERRALD: That was the high highlight of the pain of my week, which will also be my lodging of a complaint.

[00:06:01] TREY GERRALD: Oh, you guys just take the time and press save. 

[00:06:04] CHELSEY DONN: Also, like, do your time, like, my time machine, I think, is on automatic. I hope it is. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. Well, God bless you, Trey. I don't know. We would not have a show without you because Trey is so meticulous about editing every single episode. So thanks for doing it twice.

[00:06:22] TREY GERRALD: Well, everyone who loved our Mother's Day episode, just, just think back about how I had to go through that twice. Oh, my God. It's a pleasure to be podcasting with you and for you listeners. So, Chelsey, in that energy, should we move into some online reviews? Do you think you're ready? 

[00:06:39] CHELSEY DONN: Oh, my God, so ready.

[00:06:41] CHELSEY DONN: Let's, let's do it. As you know, we are your trusty Review Queens. We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected. 

[00:06:51] TREY GERRALD: We read you the review, we break it down, and rate the impact of the review on a scale from 0 to 5 crowns. This is a very regal process that we call Assess That Kvetch!

[00:07:03] TREY GERRALD: And Chelsey girl, the floor is all yours, 

[00:07:06] CHELSEY DONN: Get ready to bend and snap, here we go,

[00:07:12] CHELSEY DONN: Review That Review.

[00:07:17] VOICEOVER: I just 

[00:07:18] TREY GERRALD: wrote, I wrote in the script for Chelsey to say get ready for my bend and snap, but I didn't know that you would actually say it. 

[00:07:26] CHELSEY DONN: I mean, it was in the script. Okay. All right. So, you know how much I love Yelp. So, I was, let's just say, doing some perusing, and I came across this review by James, because, you know, we love the name James in this podcast.

[00:07:44] CHELSEY DONN: James P., as in Paul. This is James one star review of a restaurant here in L. A., in Venice, actually, on Abbot Kinney, called Dubuena Planta, which I think means Like the good plant would be my guess for my four years of Spanish. This is a one star review of De Buena Planta. 

[00:08:09] TREY GERRALD: Okay. 

[00:08:10] CHELSEY DONN: I wanted to love the hell out of this plant based eatery.

[00:08:14] CHELSEY DONN: I was absolutely misled by their plant based claims. Plant based eateries are popping up all over and this place is masquerading as one, while really Being vegetarian, call it what it is, plant forward, eggs and lactose in the back. We arrived and were very excited. The place was beautiful. The staff seemed friendly.

[00:08:45] CHELSEY DONN: The drinks were great. The menu looks so great. Super excited for a new plant based restaurant. We ordered. So excited. It was our first date night in months after accidentally overhearing a server mention to a nearby table that they were a vegetarian restaurant. I panicked. What? Why didn't anyone tell us that?

[00:09:11] CHELSEY DONN: Was he wrong? It's vegan, right? I mean, they are plant based, after all. We just ordered, and I was already eating the guacamole. I was dying inside. Oh. M. G. The guacamole isn't vegan. They ruin it with cojita cheese. And not the vegan spoof kind you might find at actual vegan plant based restaurants. Real cheese.

[00:09:42] CHELSEY DONN: In all my years, I've never hoped there would be cheese or any sort on my guac. Am I alone here? Every plant based restaurant in LA, Crossroads, Gracias Madre, Veggie Grill, Plant Power, and Little Pine, to name a few, Has started calling things what they are, better known as, in their normal form. But chicken isn't chicken, beef isn't beef, and cheese isn't really cheese.

[00:10:17] CHELSEY DONN: Well, at this self proclaimed plant based eatery, there is not only cheese in many dishes, there is also egg being used flagrantly. Then, try to make so many efforts to be plant based, expensive, pecan, chorizo, vegan, fondito, impossible vegan nachos, etc., but they are really just hijacking the word. This is a gluten free, vegetarian restaurant.

[00:10:52] CHELSEY DONN: It is not plant based. Eggs and cow pus are not plants. 

[00:10:59] VOICEOVER: They 

[00:11:02] CHELSEY DONN: could edit the menu and be 100 percent vegan and claim steak among LA's best restaurants, but this bait and switch isn't okay. We immediately modified our order with our server after realizing the vegetarian restaurant we were in, and then the Caesar salad was served to us with cheese, not okay.

[00:11:29] CHELSEY DONN: They took that off our receipt, only to then char us the same price for the one without cheese. We had a lengthy convo with the server about the restaurant being misleading, to which we were told that there was an inner dialogue in the management as to what to call the restaurant. For them to then serve us a salad with cheese is like, So not okay.

[00:11:58] CHELSEY DONN: Okay. Maybe I'm too sensitive. This was going to be a four star review initially, but the one star comes because this restaurant could kill anyone with an egg allergy and a hankering for churros. Oh, yes, the depths of deceit continue to grow. Despite the menu that I really inspected after the initial mistake, clearly noting the churros were vegan, my cemented mistrust for this place led me to confirm with the server are the churros that we had been drooling over during our entire meal vegan, as stated in the menu.

[00:12:43] CHELSEY DONN: She was taken aback, unsure. She quickly disappeared to the kitchen, only to reappear moments later, stating that they were not vegan anymore. There was egg in them now. They just weren't working well without the egg. Update the menu! JFC! This is absolutely no okay! You can't write vegan on the menu and include eggs!

[00:13:13] CHELSEY DONN: This place is great if you want a vegetarian meal. If you're vegan and got duped into thinking it's plant based, beware. They aren't interested in catering to or being honest with vegans here, so you best choose another place. After seeing numerous complaints, I'm sorry I didn't research this place deeper, the responses from management and The lack of attention to update menus with recipe changes and the lack of attention to ensure our orders was fixed is unacceptable.

[00:13:52] CHELSEY DONN: They didn't even comp the cheesy guac. 

[00:13:56] VOICEOVER: This 

[00:13:56] CHELSEY DONN: place is beautiful, but poorly operated and management. is out of touch.

[00:14:07] CHELSEY DONN: Okay, just want to note that, that James has also included four photos. 

[00:14:12] VOICEOVER: Oh. 

[00:14:13] CHELSEY DONN: One of them is a reply, but not to their review. So it's a screenshot of a reply from another review, which I'll quickly read. 

[00:14:22] VOICEOVER: Okay. 

[00:14:22] CHELSEY DONN: Hi, Ado, for noting this and we're listening. I promise almost every item except two on the menu has a vegan option.

[00:14:29] CHELSEY DONN: option to remove the dairy, which is why we believe we are plant based. Plant based or plant forward eating patterns focus on foods primarily from plants. This includes not only fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes, and beans. It doesn't mean that you are vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy.

[00:14:51] CHELSEY DONN: I understand where you're coming from and we're doing better adjusting menus and honing in on our verbiage from servers so that everyone feels and knows that they can enjoy a lot of the menu and what to steer clear of. Thanks so much for coming in. Yeah, so I'll get into that in a minute. There's also a copy of the receipt, which shows that, like, we were still charged for everything, even though, yeah, also a copy of the menu where it says that the churros are clearly marked vegan and screenshot of just where it says that it's a plant based Mexican pop up in Venice.

[00:15:29] CHELSEY DONN: It 

[00:15:30] TREY GERRALD: literally says de bueno plana is a plant-based Mexican popup. Yeah, 

[00:15:34] CHELSEY DONN: exactly. Yep. That's what it says. So also just like as a side note, 'cause when I first read the review I was like, alright, I am not vegan. So like, is plant, like plant-based being vegetarian? Like I was like struggling with that. So I wanted to just Google what is plant-based?

[00:15:53] CHELSEY DONN: Like what is the universal acceptance of plant-based? 

[00:15:58] VOICEOVER: Okay. And 

[00:15:58] CHELSEY DONN: I just wanna say. Laziness upon laziness. The person that responded that I just read, like after seeing, you know, talking about plant forward and 

[00:16:08] VOICEOVER: no, 

[00:16:08] CHELSEY DONN: they literally copied and pasted it from Google. Like if you go on Google and you Google what is plant based and like, you know how that gives you questions and you go to the first answer, that's literally the first answer.

[00:16:23] CHELSEY DONN: And the person just copied and pasted it into 

[00:16:27] TREY GERRALD: Does that include the sentence that says it doesn't mean you're vegetarian or vegan or never eat meat or dairy? 

[00:16:33] CHELSEY DONN: Yes, I think it does. Like, I think, like, literally the whole thing is just like, it's like that was like the life that they're standing on. But then I just like, again, just to do my due diligence, because I knew we were going to be talking about it, I like asked a bunch of friends, vegan and non vegan, I was just like, just pulling the audience.

[00:16:50] CHELSEY DONN: If I said to you, Hey, do you want to go to a plant based restaurant with me this week? Would you assume that that is vegetarian, vegan? What would, what would like be the assumption there? And across the board, everybody said that they would have assumed it was vegan. 

[00:17:04] TREY GERRALD: Well, right. Because if you're vegan, you don't need anything derivative of an animal, right?

[00:17:09] TREY GERRALD: Right. So it would have to be a plant. 

[00:17:11] CHELSEY DONN: Right. I was thinking plant based, like, okay, if the base of the item is plant, like, I don't know. I just, I was looking for a technicality because I, I don't know. I was trying to figure out if I could defend the restaurant at all here, but I don't think that I can because I think that plant based has now become analogous.

[00:17:29] CHELSEY DONN: Okay. 

[00:17:32] TREY GERRALD: Okay. I, okay. I have a lot to say about this. It seems like this restaurant is consistently faltering in the responsibility. Like, this is a very long review, but multiple times, I think, I think James says three or four times, like, I wanted to give it four stars. This would be one of the best competing with all the major ones in LA.

[00:17:56] TREY GERRALD: This could have been really great. This So, I appreciate that James is honoring, like, it is great, they're just lying. Right. To me, I think it's unforgivable, how can you say you're vegan and not be vegan? I, I, like, I don't understand, how, also, The most disgusting idea to me is having cheese and guacamole.

[00:18:18] TREY GERRALD: What the fuck? 

[00:18:19] CHELSEY DONN: I know. Well, that's the thing that's like so egregious to me about this review is like, okay, I can almost wrap my head around like an item that would normally have cheese in it that says cheese in the menu, even though it's like common vernacular now that like cheese isn't cheese and all this stuff.

[00:18:35] CHELSEY DONN: But like, I can almost. Excuse that because there was items in the menu that like had a V and had a different like there were like different things. But to put dairy in an item that definitely does not require dairy and call your restaurant plant based is crazy. That's criminal. It's insane. It's criminal.

[00:18:58] CHELSEY DONN: It's like why there there's There's zero reason to put cheese in guac. No, it's so gross sounding. And especially if it's the cotija cheese, like, that's almost like a garnish. So it feels even more unnecessary. Like, throw some pepitas on there. Like, give me like something else. Like, there's like, you can find something else to be a garnish.

[00:19:20] CHELSEY DONN: If you're gonna try and be plant, it's just like so gross. It just reeks of like, Capitalizing on a market being like, we're in Venice. We want to be a trendy new restaurant. So we're going to say that we're plant based and just call yourself a vegetarian restaurant. 

[00:19:37] TREY GERRALD: But it doesn't make sense to me. Like you can't masquerade is the word James uses.

[00:19:41] TREY GERRALD: You can't masquerade here because day two of your business being open, people are going to be sick and they're going to be able to deuce. Right. What they ate at your restaurant doesn't go with their lifestyle. I don't understand how they like it's only going to cause you trouble. I 

[00:19:56] CHELSEY DONN: just think it's so irresponsible and dangerous.

[00:19:59] CHELSEY DONN: Like if you're going to do this and call yourself plant based, then you better have that Google definition and you better highlight like this doesn't mean that you're vegetarian or whatever upon entry and the fact that they had an item on the menu that like was vegan changed to not vegan and then They were still not updating the menu to let people know and they were just ordering it thinking, I mean, that is like so gross.

[00:20:23] CHELSEY DONN: That is like, am I buying something under false pretense? Like, I'm being told that this item is vegan. I'm being told that this restaurant is plant based and then you're shoving all this stuff into it. Though the puss line, puss line, 

[00:20:37] TREY GERRALD: I have a question. Yeah, I definitely need to know what Cow Puss is. I'm also wait to your point previously.

[00:20:42] TREY GERRALD: Yeah, the restaurant is named The Good Plant. 

[00:20:45] CHELSEY DONN: Exactly. Which is like irony upon 

[00:20:48] TREY GERRALD: the most offensive title. If you're going to be shady, I just I literally blows my mind. I think the value here. is like if the whole reply that you read from that like picture yeah like it doesn't mean that you're vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy feels like a slap in the like why would you take that approach if you're called the good plant if you are presenting yourself as a plant based plant forward why would you not have like eight million symbols after every word Every single item on the menu, If you're gonna be able to have options, It just, it seems like the opposite approach, Rather than being like, Oh, well, we have plant options.

[00:21:28] TREY GERRALD: It seems like you would actually be plants. With an option to be not plant based. Exactly. But, but why? It's like a vegan, you should call 

[00:21:35] CHELSEY DONN: yourself a vegan friendly restaurant and, and like, you know, we're a vegetarian vegan friendly restaurant or something like that where it's like and our items can be adapted.

[00:21:45] CHELSEY DONN: Please be clear. Because there are a lot of vegan friendly restaurants that I've gone to where it's like, it'll be vegetarian, it'll be whatever, but then it'll clearly have like marked like plant based If you want this item vegan, like, you can let us in and just let us know. Also, I love 

[00:22:01] TREY GERRALD: the phrase flagrant egg use.

[00:22:05] CHELSEY DONN: Yes, me too. Also, I'm looking at the menu that James posted and what's very interesting, speaking of like the weird confusion over like, what is what? So by the churros, it has a capital V in parentheses next to it. Then by the tres leches, it says the word vegan. And then by the Mexican flourless cake, it has a V in parenthesis and an N in parenthesis.

[00:22:34] CHELSEY DONN: What the hell does that mean? Does it mean that when V is in parenthesis, it means vegetarian? And then it's only vegan if they actually spell vegan? Cause that's even more insane. 

[00:22:46] TREY GERRALD: Okay, wait, I have a, I have like a higher question. When did this restaurant open? I want to say, 

[00:22:53] CHELSEY DONN: uh, James does not, cause 

[00:22:56] TREY GERRALD: it does seem to me like they don't know what they're doing.

[00:22:58] CHELSEY DONN: James mentions that it's a new restaurant and he wrote it in like a week ago, actually. So, 

[00:23:04] TREY GERRALD: cause I'm curious about that. I don't know. I think like, Obviously, like, the joke that we don't want to walk into is like, how do you know someone's vegan? They're gonna tell ya. Like, that stereotype exists because you have to be very meticulous about what you're putting in your body if you're being meticulous about what you're putting in your body.

[00:23:22] TREY GERRALD: So how could you masquerade as a restaurant that's just, like, being very careless? I, I, I think I, I do trust James and the review, especially because they go into such lengthy detail and they mentioned multiple times in the real estate of this review. This has the potential to compete with Crossroads, that excellent movie by Britney Spears.

[00:23:46] TREY GERRALD: Also veggie grill. I love veggie grill. I wish we had veggie grills on the East Coast. And also like James alludes to. After being here, they looked at all these other not so great reviews, which makes me think, Oh, okay, more context here, more allegiance with James experience that the restaurant has to like, you can't just copy and paste on Google, like, Something I know very wrong here, which is highlighted by the other picture with the vegan versus a V.

[00:24:13] TREY GERRALD: I mean, I think this is having a large impact on me. I'm not even plant based, but if I was, I would, this would be like, I mean, it does seem criminal. You can't mess with people's digestion. Like if someone doesn't eat cheese and then they don't know there's cheese in the Caesar salad and they're eating it.

[00:24:30] TREY GERRALD: They're gonna get sick. Like, that's what I don't understand the end game here. Yeah, 

[00:24:34] CHELSEY DONN: I just think it's all marketing and it's gross. And even on the receipt itself, like it clearly says plant based, like even on the like, they are using, they are running, it is their branding. 

[00:24:47] TREY GERRALD: It's literally the title. What's the spelling and grammar 

[00:24:49] CHELSEY DONN: like?

[00:24:49] CHELSEY DONN: We had a few mistakes peppered in there. Not, I mean, considering how long the review was, It's not, like, a ton, but I can't give James a perfect score. You know what's interesting to me? 

[00:25:02] TREY GERRALD: I feel like there was humor sprinkled in here, even though, like, I don't think the subject matter is humorous at all, like, I think they need to really be held to task, this restaurant, but I appreciated, like, flagrant egg use, and, like, accidentally overheard.

[00:25:16] CHELSEY DONN: Right, right, right, right. 

[00:25:17] TREY GERRALD: What does JFC stand for? 

[00:25:20] CHELSEY DONN: Jesus effing Christ. 

[00:25:23] TREY GERRALD: How did you know that? I 

[00:25:24] CHELSEY DONN: don't know, says the Jew. Also, wait, because it 

[00:25:29] TREY GERRALD: says JFC and then no good, right? Do you think that was a typo? Or is it like, no, was it not good or no good? Because that was really funny to me to just be like, no good.

[00:25:40] CHELSEY DONN: This is absolute no okay. I think this is absolutely not okay. 

[00:25:45] TREY GERRALD: But that's kind of funny to me. Like, that could be like a lexicon of a teenager, I'm imagining. Sure, 

[00:25:50] CHELSEY DONN: maybe. 

[00:25:51] TREY GERRALD: Ultimately here, I think the impact deal breaker for me is one of the concluding statements in the review is you cannot write that you're vegan if you're not.

[00:26:00] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, that's it. 

[00:26:01] TREY GERRALD: I mean, I feel like I could crown this. Anything else? How are you feeling? 

[00:26:05] CHELSEY DONN: I think I can crown James. I'm, I feel pretty confident. 

[00:26:09] TREY GERRALD: Alright, so, Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards, and in an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another, we will simultaneously reveal our rating.

[00:26:21] VOICEOVER: The Queens are tabulating. So, 

[00:26:27] CHELSEY DONN: it's a school. Oh, wow, okay, so I'm holding up four crowns, Trey is holding up four and a half crowns, Trey, you go first, why four and a half for James? 

[00:26:34] TREY GERRALD: Well, I really was conflicted here. I kind of wanted to do five crowns. The reason I didn't do five crowns, I don't know why. I don't know.

[00:26:42] TREY GERRALD: I think now I'm feeling like maybe I should have done five crowns. I think that this is reeking with a lot of value. I think maybe the length would maybe keep me from reading it. But the reason I'm on the fence about five crowns is because the due diligence of the images that they included, I think, stands alone.

[00:26:59] TREY GERRALD: Anytime you're on Yelp and someone includes images, I think, like, the algorithm pushes it to the top. I don't know. It stands out. I think James is coming in hot to protect everyone in their community and I really appreciate it wasn't a full slanderous review to something that I think deserves to be slandered because they said the potential here is so phenomenal.

[00:27:19] TREY GERRALD: You know, I want to change it. I'm going to change it to five 

[00:27:23] CHELSEY DONN: crowns. I do think that 

[00:27:24] TREY GERRALD: it is a review queen because Even though there were some typos here or whatever, it's like, I think that the impact for me as someone who isn't plant based, I'm mad. Like, I want to defend the plant based people and like pick at the restaurant and be like, do not go here.

[00:27:39] TREY GERRALD: You're going to injure your body. And there were sprinkled in humor, you know, it's like, I definitely think it's common. They reference the other negative reviews. Like you could read this one review and get the point, which I think. is queenly. So that's why I said five crowns after originally saying four and a half, because I convinced myself in talking, Chelsey, why did you say four?

[00:27:59] CHELSEY DONN: I said four crowns. I love that James was so thorough. And you know that I love when we have a negative review, and they're not just completely slanderous. Like whenever I read a negative review, and they're still complimenting what is good about the restaurant. So It makes me believe the reviewer more.

[00:28:17] CHELSEY DONN: So that was hugely valuable. I took away a crown for spelling and grammar. It's got to be perfect for me and a little bit of the length. Those were the two things that kept me from making this a review queen. But I will say, like, Kudos to James for standing up and saying this. And I hope, I really do hope that the people that own this restaurant read this and change it to vegetarian.

[00:28:43] CHELSEY DONN: Just say you're vegetarian. Just say you're vegan friendly. Like that's it. That's all you have to do. It is wrong to not have someone on high alert When they have dietary restrictions, I don't like it, I'm not happy about it, and I hope that they do something to change it, and James has made me impassioned about that plea, so four crowns for you, James.

[00:29:05] TREY GERRALD: I hear that. Do you want to go get some cow puss? Eww! 

[00:29:10] CHELSEY DONN: Is someone at the door? Oh my goodness! Oh wow! Surprise, 

[00:29:14] TREY GERRALD: surprise! Wait, this is new, should we see who's behind door number one? Yes! Who is at the door, please? 

[00:29:23] CHELSEY DONN: The reviewer 

[00:29:25] TREY GERRALD: is 

[00:29:25] CHELSEY DONN: here. 

[00:29:27] TREY GERRALD: Surprise! Wait, it's James. This is our James and he's been here the whole time.

[00:29:33] CHELSEY DONN: Hi, James. 

[00:29:35] JAMES: I snuck in, uh, the back door and then I ripped right around the front and rang the doorbell. Being polite. Thank you. 

[00:29:40] CHELSEY DONN: Yes. To be fair, when we said it was James. James, 

[00:29:47] TREY GERRALD: we have you here, and you are a listener of the show, you've been very supportive, which we love, and we just reviewed you, and your review, so talk us through, talk us through, what was that like?

[00:29:58] JAMES: I mean, I'm kind of shaking, because it was definitely intense. Chelsey, I think you read it pretty perfectly to how I read it in my head, it came across correct, um, I do think Yelp is up to get people with the autocorrect and just changing things, Oh, good 

[00:30:13] CHELSEY DONN: to know, that's important, Okay, 

[00:30:16] JAMES: like I know I submitted the review and I don't know when you guys screen captured it, but then I went back the next day and was like, what is this typo?

[00:30:22] JAMES: Oh, that is 

[00:30:22] CHELSEY DONN: very interesting, 

[00:30:24] JAMES: it might be perfect now, but yeah, I think that Yelp is definitely shady when it comes to autocorrecting when you're not, Yeah, I mean, it was just, it was really exciting to kind of hear that the things that you've taught. 

[00:30:36] VOICEOVER: Us, 

[00:30:37] JAMES: you know, to be nice, to be respectful, to throw in some humor, to use truth, to not just be like a crazy Karen.

[00:30:43] JAMES: It was helpful to me to know that that actually paid off and made for a really good review. I have to say, definitely, this was at the new location in Silver Lake, the first locations in Venice, which is where the screen capture is from, but just to be fair, I'm sure that they do the same thing at that restaurant.

[00:30:59] JAMES: I just, they came for my churros and that was really the deal breaker for me. We were sitting there. And my partner and I were kind of discussing the churros the whole time. I'm like, those churros, like, once we found out it wasn't vegan, I was like, Oh, man, I hope the churros are vegan. And he's like, I'm like, I bet they won't be.

[00:31:14] JAMES: Oh, no, they might be. And we get the menu and see the vegan. Yes. Oh, my God, the churros. And then we couldn't have churros. 

[00:31:20] VOICEOVER: Oh, my God. 

[00:31:21] JAMES: Churros are my favorite thing in the world. So much so that our dessert at our wedding is going to be in a month. Don't tell me you can't make a vegan churro. 

[00:31:29] CHELSEY DONN: Right? It can happen.

[00:31:31] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah. Lazy. 

[00:31:32] TREY GERRALD: Do not come for James's Churros. 

[00:31:35] JAMES: Do not come for my churros. I think what all the other reviews, like, they almost have as many one star reviews as five star reviews, and every single one star review brings up this topic, and I wrote this review before even seeing that, so, just knowing that there's a huge community in the two weeks that this place has been open that have been like, no, it is not okay, you cannot use the word plant based, plant based is a diet, vegan is a lifestyle, that includes a plant based diet.

[00:32:00] VOICEOVER: So 

[00:32:00] JAMES: it's not like we made up the word plant based, plant forward is bullshit, that's just a marketing term and I've been duped before at a restaurant by that, 

[00:32:10] VOICEOVER: and 

[00:32:11] JAMES: the problem is that it's usually a friend of the vegan that's picking the restaurant, they're so thrilled that they found a restaurant that it seems like everyone can eat at, they have a whole plant forward menu, great, you get there and you can't even eat anything.

[00:32:22] JAMES: It's like they don't even make an effort to make a vegan dish as part of the plant forward menu. So it's like it's been happening and it just needs to stop. So I think those of us that are plant based and like I really haven't eaten an animal in six years. So that cheese on the avocado was really gross.

[00:32:39] JAMES: Yeah, that's 

[00:32:39] CHELSEY DONN: upsetting. Not that it's like, I don't know. You have to start over from day one or something like that. But like, it's still upsetting. 

[00:32:46] JAMES: It's on AA, you know? Right, exactly. That's what I was 

[00:32:49] CHELSEY DONN: gonna say. But it's still like, you know, you, you committed your life to a certain way of eating. And I think it's really shady.

[00:32:57] CHELSEY DONN: And I hope that reviewers like you and because you are such a review queen today, and you're throwing your review into the hat, I hope that they really do change because it's still early days for this restaurant. 

[00:33:10] TREY GERRALD: Yeah, I do feel like they're gonna have to. 

[00:33:12] JAMES: It's a beautiful restaurant. The drinks were fantastic.

[00:33:16] JAMES: The lighting is a little difficult. Maybe I'm just getting older, but to read the menus, the V's were very small. And then it's kind of got that, you know, string lights 20 feet over your head lighting. Yeah. You really notice that there's a tiny V and I don't know what the R means or whatever the other letter was and like there's no code on the make these things mean so who knows 

[00:33:36] CHELSEY DONN: there's no code and it's dark so it's almost like they're purposely trying to get you to not see what's going on 

[00:33:44] JAMES: vague 

[00:33:45] TREY GERRALD: which is like a problem 

[00:33:46] CHELSEY DONN: very vague 

[00:33:47] JAMES: it would be fine if every time you Somebody got sat down every single time they were told, which I think is what's supposed to be happening at this restaurant, but it didn't happen.

[00:33:56] JAMES: Our server, sweet as pie, just didn't incorporate that. I did. I only heard it from one server, actually. 

[00:34:02] TREY GERRALD: Wow, but overheard. Accidentally. But see, my thinking is like, if you are a plant based restaurant, even if you're a vegetarian restaurant, I don't think it should be coded. I don't think it should be a key.

[00:34:16] TREY GERRALD: I think you're actually a restaurant with an intention. So I think it should be spelled out. And to your point about the lighting, I think it should be in red letters. It shouldn't be smaller than the type font. It should be part of the description. There should be no question that the whole point that you just said about, you know, You have lived your life a certain number of years without putting the stuff in your body.

[00:34:38] TREY GERRALD: It's so disrespectful to have that power taken away that it's not. This isn't a joke, like especially 

[00:34:45] CHELSEY DONN: when you're capitalizing on those people, 

[00:34:48] TREY GERRALD: right? And that's why I feel like there's just hopefully I do think that I think that this restaurant will have to get get it and change it because It's been open so short.

[00:34:58] TREY GERRALD: I'm curious about the Venice location, but like you can't do this and not have any retribution. Like there is a consequence coming and hopefully like your impact on the review will be felt and hopefully there will be a change. I mean, Crazy. 

[00:35:15] CHELSEY DONN: Insane. My roommate went to Craig's and they are vegan friendly.

[00:35:20] CHELSEY DONN: Like they clearly, they're not a vegan restaurant. They have like steaks and all, but they're a vegan friendly restaurant. And they have this amazing vegan ice cream. That's like what they're known for. And my roommate is pescatarian. And he went there and he ordered the chicken parm, but he asked for it vegan because that's like a common thing on the menu.

[00:35:39] CHELSEY DONN: Like you can say, I want the chicken parm, but I want it vegan. So he ordered it vegan and he like ate like the whole thing and the whole time he was like moaning and then the server came back and he was like this is the most incredible like forget even vegan chicken parm like this is the most amazing chicken parm I've ever had in my life how did you do this like how could you make something vegan taste this good and these the waitresses Face turned like white.

[00:36:05] CHELSEY DONN: Oh 

[00:36:05] VOICEOVER: God. And 

[00:36:06] CHELSEY DONN: she like ran to the kitchen and they had to come out and it was a whole thing. Like they came out and they were like, I'm so sorry. Are you gonna be okay? Like, do you have an allergy? We really messed up, like, we're gonna take it off your bill. And, and like he was upset, but like, he was just a pescatarian.

[00:36:24] CHELSEY DONN: He's not allergic to it. So. You know, life went on. But the point is that in that situation, when they made a mistake, it was like a really big deal. Like they really did a lot. So the fact that they did nothing, like they literally charge you the same amount after they just, like, messed up your salad and made you eat something that, like, you haven't eaten in so long.

[00:36:49] CHELSEY DONN: It's just, where's the customer service? It's true. 

[00:36:52] TREY GERRALD: Wait, James, what is cow puss? 

[00:36:54] JAMES: It's, it's, what's it? Cheese. There's a little bit of cow puss in every glass of milk. Just saying. Oh! 

[00:37:00] TREY GERRALD: What is that, though? Like? 

[00:37:01] JAMES: It's like 

[00:37:02] TREY GERRALD: Puss, 

[00:37:03] JAMES: puss. Puss. Like, not good. From 

[00:37:05] TREY GERRALD: their udders or whatever? Yeah, 

[00:37:06] JAMES: from the abuse that their udders go through on a daily basis for 

[00:37:09] TREY GERRALD: years.

[00:37:10] TREY GERRALD: Oh, God. makes those bones strong. Got milk? 

[00:37:15] JAMES: Yeah. 

[00:37:16] TREY GERRALD: Well, do we have any final thoughts? I appreciate you, your willingness to let us, uh, review your review on the show. 

[00:37:23] JAMES: It was, it was a lot of fun. I, you know, do suggest other people that listen to do it too. Yes. I used to write those evil, mean, passive aggressive reviews and they're just not fun.

[00:37:35] JAMES: They're not fun. Good to have on your reputation, like, if you're gonna write a review, do it the right way, make it a little bit funny, and definitely spellcheck. 

[00:37:45] CHELSEY DONN: And definitely spellcheck your spellcheck, cause that's a really good note for us, that autocorrect, now I'm gonna have to think about that, moving forward, whether or not I ding people so much for that.

[00:37:56] TREY GERRALD: I will say that I have a screenshot that I pulled up yesterday, and it, It's already, and the week that this review has been up has one useful and two people found it funny. There 

[00:38:06] CHELSEY DONN: you go. 

[00:38:07] TREY GERRALD: That's great. 

[00:38:07] CHELSEY DONN: Well, I guess following the Review Queen rubric can really yield great results on Yelp. Thank you so much, James.

[00:38:15] CHELSEY DONN: That was so much fun. I'm so happy that you sent us that review. You slid into our DMs, you went for it, and now you're here on the show. So that's incredible and brings a whole new perspective. We already learn new things like the spellcheck. So if you're listening. And you, like James, love to write reviews, and you'd be willing to submit it to us, slide into our DMs, send us a link, and let us know.

[00:38:38] CHELSEY DONN: And maybe you, like James, can listen in on one of our shows. And listeners, you never know when someone's in the house, just saying. There could always be someone hiding behind door number one. 

[00:38:49] TREY GERRALD: And watch out for cow puss. Yes. Yuck. All right. Well, James, since you're here, and you are officially inducted into the Queendom.

[00:38:57] TREY GERRALD: Yes. Would you like to join us for the Meryl Go Round? 

[00:39:01] JAMES: I mean, of course. All 

[00:39:05] TREY GERRALD: right, so here we are. This is the One Star Zinger time. We are going to take a quick little spin on the Meryl Go Round. 

[00:39:13] CHELSEY DONN: I don't feel like an icon. Most of the days I feel like I can't. That's with an A. Alright, Trey and James each have a rotten, scathing, pithy, one star zinger, and with 30 seconds on the clock, they'll try to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible.

[00:39:36] TREY GERRALD: Just like Queen Meryl, who does it all. 

[00:39:38] CHELSEY DONN: Before the clock runs out, alright, Trey, where is your one star zinger from today? 

[00:39:44] TREY GERRALD: Okay, so today, I have a one star zinger from good ol Amazon. 

[00:39:48] CHELSEY DONN: Okay, we love her. 

[00:39:49] TREY GERRALD: And, um, as I found this, I was like, oh, this needs to be a main episode, but I found a zinger. This is for Old Spice, aluminum free deodorant for men, high endurance refresh, three ounce each, pack of three.

[00:40:03] VOICEOVER: It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. 

[00:40:09] TREY GERRALD: And this is written by N. W. T., their one star review subject is, Get Something Else, TBH, asterisk, toxic, asterisk. And their review is, Melted the skin off my armpits, smells nice, but yeah. Cry, Laugh, Face. Emoji! 

[00:40:28] CHELSEY DONN: Oh my god, well good luck, you're gonna have to do that, just like I had to do facepalm.

[00:40:34] TREY GERRALD: I know, it's really long, but it had an emoji, so I had to do it. He also included an image of a disgusting, hairy armpit with nasty, nasty, red rash, so it, Really did melt the skin off. Aye 

[00:40:47] CHELSEY DONN: y. All right. I'm gonna strap you into like some Neosporin, 'cause I feel like you'd need that after you burned yourself.

[00:40:54] CHELSEY DONN: So let's protect you with Neosporin. And are you ready? 

[00:40:59] TREY GERRALD: I think I'm, this is gonna be hard, but Yes, I'm ready. Okay, let's do it. Okay, here we go. Three, two. One, Go!

[00:41:43] TREY GERRALD: Five? Okay. Alright James, are you ready? 

[00:41:46] JAMES: I am ready, and I have reviewed Rate My Professor, it is a one star review for a class called Micro 101, or 102, whatever that is. And the review is, UGH!

[00:42:00] JAMES: He's just so boring. Been there, been there. We've all been there. Just so boring. 

[00:42:10] TREY GERRALD: Well, James, I, as your competitor, I'm going to strap you into a boring textbook that is just really big and has been sold at the library eight times and there's a bunch of notes and highlights on it. 

[00:42:24] CHELSEY DONN: Okay. It's a used, boring book.

[00:42:27] TREY GERRALD: Yes. All right, James. All right. You ready? Here we go.

[00:43:28] TREY GERRALD: Yay, James. Wow. I'm so, I was like so nervous because I know that you like, you don't do this every week like we do. And you did so good. You slayed me. How dare you? 

[00:43:40] JAMES: It was a really good, you know, short and to the point review.

[00:43:43] JAMES: And that's the key to win this competition. 

[00:43:45] VOICEOVER: All 

[00:43:46] TREY GERRALD: right. I think that, I think that we have really come to realize that, but I have such a hard time finding the zingers, I just, I, and I hate long, real reviews, but my zingers are always too long, right, Chelsey? 

[00:43:56] CHELSEY DONN: Well, listen, we, we, we're trying to get the great, the greatest of zingers, and sometimes length and great zingers don't match up, we do our best.

[00:44:05] CHELSEY DONN: But, Trey, don't be embarrassed because James, like, really showed up. 

[00:44:10] TREY GERRALD: Really showed up and also I feel honored that you listened and support and came on the show in school. Yes. It actually feels really lovely. Thanks for having me. It was fun. 

[00:44:21] CHELSEY DONN: Of course. Duh, of course. 

[00:44:23] TREY GERRALD: Before 

[00:44:26] CHELSEY DONN: we say goodbye to James, who is so lovely in joining us today, tell us a little bit about what you do, where we can find you.

[00:44:35] JAMES: Sure, I'm a massage therapist in Los Angeles, but I also just started a wellness website called That Wellness Guy, and it is kind of a collection of what I find on the internet related to massage. Plant Based Wellness, CBD products, kind of anything in that realm. It's kind of like a place where you can go and find some gleaned information from the, uh, from the interwebs, right?

[00:44:56] JAMES: You know, I'll type little blurbs about what the article that you might go to is. So it's kind of like Reader's Digest. Um, I started the website to help, um, friends and clients that are going vegan, um, To kind of make it easier so I don't have to keep typing the same email every day. And 

[00:45:15] CHELSEY DONN: the website is?

[00:45:16] JAMES: ThatWellnessGuy. com. 

[00:45:18] CHELSEY DONN: ThatWellnessGuy. com, which will also be in the show notes. So thank you again, James, for being here. This is so fun. And we'll see you soon. Keep keep on reviewing, Queen. 

[00:45:31] TREY GERRALD: And give my love to Thomas. All right. Oh, wasn't that so nice? Wait, I was so 

[00:45:36] CHELSEY DONN: nice. 

[00:45:37] TREY GERRALD: I was like so touched that James was like, I've learned from the show.

[00:45:41] TREY GERRALD: Like, I know, like, not me getting like teary eyed on our podcast. That's so sweet. What a great guy. Wow. Amazing. All right. With this, like bubbly, warm, awesome energy. We have reached the most regal portion of our show. Chelsey, who are you inducting today for? 

[00:46:01] CHELSEY DONN: My Royal Highness. So today, in honor of James being here, I want to induct James, all the Jameses, and everybody who has been a loyal listener, who's taken a little bit of extra time to share the podcast on their stories or DM us and let us know that we've been helpful with you picking out your wedding dress because you read through a million reviews or anyone who's just.

[00:46:29] CHELSEY DONN: Done a little extra to show Trey and I your support. I just want to take a moment to thank you so much because I think maybe for you that feels like a small thing like, Oh, I'm just gonna, you know, tell my friend that I love that episode or whatever it is. But for Trey and I, it means so much. Thank you It just helps us to realize that we are connecting with you in a true way.

[00:46:52] CHELSEY DONN: And as you know, Trey just mentioned, just knowing that James even thought about us in the back of his mind while he was writing this review or it changed his perspective about how he approaches reviews. It's just so heartwarming. And I just want to say thank you. I want to say thank you so much to anyone who's taken a little time out of their day to let us know that you're listening.

[00:47:14] CHELSEY DONN: Thank you, loyal listeners. Trey and I love and appreciate you. And I'm officially inducting you all as our Royal Highness.

[00:47:25] TREY GERRALD: I love that. I mean, I yes, I can't even add to that. I think I'm feeling so emotional. Anyway, I concur. And yes, Yes, 100%. Thank you for being with us and for sharing and, you know, supporting. We love that. Yes. Well, ironically, Chelsey, do you think that we have a little extra time today to do a royal review?
