  1. I bet that is a fun place to go. Seems like you can see and do a lot there. Our neighbors go every year in their motor home. The restaurant looks very nice. Have a wonderful day and thank you and Shawnsie for a wonderful time. ❤❤

  2. Good morning sweet friends ❤that's food looks amazing yummmm happy you shared this experience with us have a blessed day

  3. Johnny Carino’s-glad you enjoyed it. They have had some troubles around the country, mostly due to franchisees. The ones in North Dakota closed. When we lived in Colorado we were excited when Carino’s opened near our home. they have an open kitchen. That evening the salad chef had a cold and kept wiping his nose with the back of his hand. I called it to the attention of the manager who seemed indifferent. I wrote corporate and they were extremely grateful and sent us gift certificates for four free visits. Needless to say we would use them elsewhere.
    Their Chicken parmigiana and Caesar salad are fantastic.
    In the bread department, for a chain restaurant, we like Carrabbas best. I see there’s one in Hickory (if you haven’t been).

  4. Don't get mad at me.. I truly love the two of you .. but I want to see the food😊

  5. We've eaten at Johnny Carino's & Bullfish Grill. We enjoyed both of them. I think maybe the bread may have been better if they had cooked it more. The food looked good. Thumbs up! God Bless!

  6. Your food looked good. I enjoy when you show us the food as it comes out. Thank you, Derrick and Shawnasi. 👍

  7. We love your videos! Thank you so much for making them! We live vicariously through you. Please focus on the food a bit more. It’s more satisfying to watch. You can cut away as you chew if you find that more comfortable. Maybe check out J & B in the Hills. They have mastered how to do this. Their recent video at The Cottage shows this well. ❤️😋❤️

  8. I loved the look of this restaurant and all the lights outside. Beautiful. You unlocked a memory for me with the Italian nachos. There was an Italian restaurant I used to take my sister to when I first started working many years ago. They had Italian nachos but I believe they had some marinara sauce with cheese sauce on them that we absolutely loved. Also, I love anything gorgonzola or blue cheese. Some people don't like it and warn you of it. Lol. Your dish looked delicious and so did Shawnasi's. I love jalapenos too. There were a lot of interesting dishes on the menu when you showed it but the two you ordered stood out. I like bread with the olive oil and herbs seasoning. It's true that you can go to an area over and over again and there can still be great restaurants to discover. Same for us with Lancaster county. $6.99 was a great price for those nachos btw. Great video as always. I loved Shawnasi's dress and boots.

  9. Hi Memory Makers

    We are glad you were able to eat here. I think it is worth a visit. There are so many good Italian restaurants in the area so it is hard to get back to some of them. The food all looks good and sounds like you all enjoyed it. Thank you for mentioning our name talking about the BullFish restaurant and that is amazing the trout anyway.
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

  10. Haven’t been there in a long time so this brought back good memories of long ago. Looked so good. My husband liked the 5 meat Tuscan pasta.

  11. We loved our visit at Carino's last 2 visits to TN. I usually have similiar tastes and choose the same dishes as Shawnasi ,this time though I went with Derrick's choice.
    *Kind of a Fun game:
    We pause the video at the menu ,as we like to guess which dishes y'all will go with -most times we are correct.
    Agree with the Bullfish name,and actually have passed it up because we thought it was oddly named for a resturant lol.
    Nobody wants to watch others eating,chewing and swallowing their entire meals..that's just weird!
    Seems they're trolls!
    Every youtuber has their own style so Keep on doing your videos,
    We got you!❤
