American Girl Cafe History feat. Katie Molinaro (Eat It Katie, Comedian, & Foodie) [Part One]

"Fine" Dining

Lunch at a restaurant for dolls!!

• Comedian and food influencer Katie Molinaro doesn't hesitate to join for a silly dining experience, so we hit up the American Girl Doll Store Boutique & Bistro
• Katie grew up with a doll she didn't vibe with
• This week's Secret Menu mini-game: Unfun Children's Toys
• American Girl was founded by a cancer-surviving textbook writer who used her royalties to make this brand explode
• "The first experiential dining experience"
• The brand forayed into movies while inspiring aspiring filmmakers to make American Girl stop-motion animations
• A guy fails to realize that this place just simply isn't for him in this week's Yelp from Strangers
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
