Inside Eats with Rhett & Link
What's the Story?
Inside Eats with Rhett & Link finds its hosts, the North Carolinian YouTubers of Good Mythical Morning, going behind the scenes at some of America's most popular restaurants. Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal give their quirky takes on familiar foods and massive menus while sampling everything in sight along the way.
Is It Any Good?
Viewers who have ever wondered what types of videos corporations play at their staff orientations should look no further. Inside Eats with Rhett & Link is nothing more than a series of long-form advertorials for chain restaurants, hosted by two blandly "charming" supposed YouTube stars. Granted, most food tourism shows lavish their featured locales with excessive praise, but the best ones also tend to feature things like cooking tips, food history, or cultural events and sights, that extend beyond the purview of an infomercial. Inside Eats is so boldly, gratuitously shilling for its subjects that it takes place entirely in corporate offices and behind service counters, and the closest it comes to cooking tips is coaching people on how to order their rice bowls.
