This should be a television procedural. One kill an episode for 24 episodes.

Ooh, a sequel to Flash Point!

Steak tartare quesadilla?

Is it filled with raw meat, like fried ice cream?

No, it's raw meat on a bed of cheese.

I book a table to try this steak tartare quesadilla.

Server: Uh… Have you ever had our steak tartare?
Jon: Years ago, and not on a quesadilla.
Server: Okay…

Our server begins walking away and then U-turns.

Server: I'm sorry. I can't let you order the steak tartare quesadilla. It's disgusting. It'll make you sick. We're taking it off the menu.

It pains me to heed her advice.

Ty: We can make it at home.
Jon: Home-made steak tartare?
Ty: Order steak tartare to go from somewhere. Spread it on a quesadilla. Bone apple tea. It's not like that fancy carpaccio I tried. Probably cheaper than $32 too.


That fancy carpaccio.

Ty: Steak tartare quesadilla challenge.

Jon: Steak tartare Crunchwrap Supreme?
Jon: No, steak tartare Mexican Pizza! Raw beef on a bed of ground beef.

Ty: Panera Charged Ceviche.

Post-COVID-19, fewer business here are open 24 hours, and among them are…select off-Strip Tropical Smoothie Cafes?

And not, like, a 24-hour drive-through.

I walked into one located in a strip mall at 02:00 on a Saturday and ordered a smoothie.

The poor middle-aged woman working the graveyard shift at a Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Also here are, by my count, not one, not two, but three Crumbl knock-offs.

Cookie Friday, Crave Cookies, Twisted Sugar – all selling thick, circularly-frosted discs with rotating flavors.

Four similar cookie businesses, three of them chains founded in Utah, most all of their shops closed on Sunday.

Seinfeld should have made a film about this. Mormon cookie battle royale.

Palazzo has a Mediterranean restaurant from Israeli celebrity chef Eyal Shani.

Encore has a Mediterranean restaurant from Israeli celebrity chef Alon Shaya.

Uma, Oprah.

The comedy world is in Los Angeles for the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.

At the end, all four comedians returned to the Bowl stage, as Seinfeld called to "bring out the greatest lineup of comedians I have ever played with in my life," and left while the theme song for his new movie Unfrosted played through the venue.

Craig Horlbeck:

It's funny that Netflix is kind of cornering this comedy market. Can you name a really funny television show that Netflix has created or a funny movie on Netflix?

Unbreakable Kim—no, NBC sold that to Netflix…

Big Mouth is polarizing…

Oh! I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson!

Netflix's funniest show being a bunch of comedy sketches is on brand.
