I have watched all the shows because the gatekeepers have been interesting and have carried the episodes. The host seems like an over indulged rich kid that is bored with everything. There is no spark, no enthusiasm. I think the gatekeeper idea is very good but please have some enthusiasm and be genuinely interested in the people hosting you. These are just my 2 cents. I want this to be constructive criticism. Waiting for the next episode.

Second: I am Bulgarian 🇧🇬 Third: Your comment is not grammatically correct Forth: If it was true that I was a bot - what would it say about you that even a bot is finding you boring As I said in my previous comment. I want to give constructive criticism. You can try to use some of your jokes in your show and not only in the KZfaq comment section. If you are ever in Sofia Bulgaria I can be a gatekeeper. We have plenty of douchey hipster mustache places 🙂

Chicagoans go Southside for the best food. They don't go to the burbs,downtown is for tourists and the New places they are wary of because they didnt earn their stripes yet. Everything is word of mouth on the street. Many chicagoans of the innercity aren't paying outrageous prices for food and they love comfort food. Pilsen area is great for Mexican food/Pulaski street is booming. Les brothers is a great american restaurant,giordanos deep dish pizza and portillos is a fan fav. Wojos has great shakes.
