JohnMMemberIf you have the Food Network, It appears Zippy’s is on tonight’s episode. Either 730 or 1030, depending on if you have HD feed. Here is the summary from TFN:
Mascot Mayhem
Blaine, the owner of Zippy’s Giant Burgers in Seattle, contacts Charles to investigate rumors that his new mascot is misbehaving. Mystery Diners Nadine and John go undercover to discover exactly who is behind the mascot costume.

PatrickKeymasterIs there a Food Network site where we can post Aaron and Dopey Dan fan fiction?

dapuffinParticipantToo funny! If you have Comcast, you can see the episode on demand.

JanSParticipantI am totally surprised that people are so quick to pull their support, to never have a Zippy Burger again, just because of this show. Wow…way to go overboard.They’re still super good burgers. You’re just punishing yourselves. :)

dapuffinParticipantThey’re great burgers. Clearly the show was a spoof. Recently tried the new chain burger place in Alki and it was terrible. Total grease bombs and more expensive than Zippy’s.

maplesyrupParticipantI probably won’t get to see the episode. What was the drama that would discourage people from eating there? I’m curious.

leamkParticipantAvoid on weekends? Because it’s so busy? We usually call in our order then take out to avoid the long line. Love Zippy’s! Amazing that despite the sort of odd location it is so busy!

SueParticipantmaplesyrup, it was about their mascot, the yum yum burger boy. The guy who was playing him in costume was doing a really good job when Blaine was around, but then he was getting reports of him insulting customers and being really bad for business when he wasn’t around. So they put hidden cameras in and discovered that the employee was passing off the costume to his friend (who was hung over) to take his place while he took care of some family emergency. When the replacement was in the costume, he was rude and insulting to customers.

maplesyrupParticipantAh, thanks for the info. That certainly won’t stop me from going there. I never even saw the mascot anyway since I usually go there during the week.
