The Patio
May 2, 2010 - The Patio (2780 South Highland Avenue Lombard IL 60148)
Product - Diet Pepsi
Presentation -Stylz
Availability - Fountain x2!!! :D
Taste - Been Worse
Notes: I have to say, THE Patio was rather an odd nut to bust, being a crossbreed between a Culver’s and Portillo’s Hot Dog. This instantly brought about the image of a shart in my mind. A shart because you are not exactly sure if you left a mess behind or not, but either way it smells rather bad and it leaves you embarrassed. Being neither a restaurant nor a fast food drive-thru, I got the impression that The Patio was a wanna-be-restaurant, while still trying to appeal to the lower class by maintaining the drive-thru facade. However, bad news for them, they’ve failed at both. Although, I do say having the double vend’age is a rather sweet concept, despite being completely pointless simultaneously.
Grade: I gave The Patio a 84.0865 (which is the exact average between Culver’s and Portillo’s.) Having tasted worse these past few weeks, going to a place which finally got away from the Coke products, AND having double the vending machines, I would say that 84.0865 is an accurate grade. The real points came from the 2x fountains, which completely addresses my phobia of waiting in line for Diet Pepsi. I give The Patio a “……It Really Does Remind Me Of A Shart” Award.
P.S. A Shart is defined as -
1) A small, unintended defecation that occurs when one relaxes the anal sphincter to fart.
OR
2) Gas followed by mass.
