When I think of questionable Arab peptides designed to make you cum strong enough to blast a hole through your partner and leave a baby painted on the walls, I naturally think of Garfield (pbuh)
Yesterday I decided to venture into Los Angeles for a entergaging sidequest. You see, while Nathen failed with a Garfield pizzeria, Andy Nguyen.
Now Andy is a guy who is well known for his bold restaurants, all of them are artisty or collabs, most famously he did the hello kitty cafe in vegas, the one piece cafe and the sonic cafe.
Now, he’s tackling a property that was most popular in 1980’s and is currently owned by Nickelodeon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yesterday was the grand opening and it was a start contrast to Garfield Eats.
It had a real kitchen with fresh made to order pizza that was actually good quality, it was properly themed to the point when the bathrooms had theming, it played 80’s and 90’s music inside, it had unique themed merch you could only get there, and the dining area was decked out in TMNT visuals. Also unlike Garfield Eats, the grand opening had a massive line that spanned the entire day. I had to wait 8 hours to get inside. And I did so just for this thread since the comparisons to Nathen are just too rich.
Where Nathen is a billionaire’s son, Andy just comes from a family of refugees from the Vietnam war, so he has a real work ethic. I personally saw him there walking around and monitoring everything and shaking the hands of customers. The staff was also very well trained even if the kitchen seemed tired of Having to shout cowabunga every time they got a tip.
Also unlike Garfield, this was placed at the Santa Monica Promenade, which is a high end shopping area near the beach known to attract tourists, so it has a nice clean smell to the area not usual for Los Angeles.
The pizza was also shockingly good. I expected mid quality, but the slices were huge, crispy, and so saucy you needed to fold them to not make a mess while you ate. Apparently the head chef was a proper New York pizza guy. No weird beef pepperoni either. The first thing you see in the door is the kitchen so you know there was nothing to hide unlike Garfield. It’s honestly fascinating to see what is basically the same weird niche done extremely well in contract to how bad Nathen did Garfield.
Only downside is a full pie costs $51. Which is insane, but when a large pizza in the area is normally $30 at Pizza Hut or dominoes, it’s not the worst price for significantly higher quality. Plus I do think the business plan is to sell more individual slices.
My favorite part is that he can’t fathom the idea that Nickelodeon would give him a worse deal than they’d give someone with proven success in this field. Or that someone would make a restaurant without the end goal of franchising. I don’t even think he understands why franchising is profitable.
It also doesn’t hurt that it’s in a much better area, isn’t a total embarrassment, the owner isn’t using it to promote himself or his politics, and unlike Garfield Eats, TMNT Pizza is a 20 minute drive from Paramount Headquarters which allows the executives to keep a very close eye on it.
Now do I think this place will stick around long term? Maybe not. The majority of restaurants close within the first 5 years, the rent in that area is crazy expensive, and I don’t think the pizza is good enough to be worth $51 a pie, but it had a far better chance of succeeded just in the concept of having a properly themed location and using a brand that hasn’t degraded in popularity the way Garfield did
Wait a second. Nathen’s licensing course is about learning how to license yourown IPs? He’s never even said that when plugging it before, has he? Every post about it was just vague shit like “become a licensing wizard!”
Well, that's because the Dilburrito might have worked if Adams was less insistent on forcing them to have all of the vitamins he could cram in them. If it also had rice, that could have salvaged the price too.
Nathan I'd argue is worse, but only in the sense Dilbert man remembered to keep his butthole blasting burritos frozen.

Emphasis on might. Nobody from Scaddams on down was looking at the pre-built market demographic for frozen burritos, namely, the cheap and the young. If they were going to be anything, they needed to be both affordable and in some way attractive from a garbage-food perspective, like three kinds of cheese or double the chili or whatever, but in no way was that product going to work with the demo they were courting. Nobody is buying Hot Pockets for trendiness or nutrition.

The concept of 100% of your daily vitamins in a single meal isn’t terrible since it was geared towards office workers who needed quick and convenient meals.
The problem is Scott didn’t do any research on what MREs are like and hoe devastating they are to your stomach, so his consumer grade MRE burrito was destined to fail.
Plus, no one in that environment wanted a frozen burrito to begin with. A sandwich pocket would have been smarter. Though ironically Scott did have a Tikka Masala flavor all the way back in the 1990’s. Had he done it in this decade he might have cornered the jeet market
