Episode 44: Mick Goes To A Drunken Diner
from The Blackout Diaries · host Starburns Audio
Comedian, writer, producer, and all-around-Chicago-legend Mick Betancourt tells a story about the time he saw a gun-drawing fight at a Chicago diner on Thanksgiving night along with how little the responding officer cared about the fight. Mick joins CJ and Sean to share some more stories from Chicago, along with some hilarious quotes -- and great advice -- from his time as a writer on Law & Order SVU. Mick's story was recorded from the final comedy show at the original Lincoln Lodge location -- also a diner -- and this leads to a wider theme on how much drunks love diners. CJ and Sean share stories from some of their favorite late-night diners and we also talk about the science of why you want to eat such unhealthy, greasy food when drunk.
