【Short film Archives】

Twitter erupted like a Molten Chocolate Cake on Short film ArchivesSaturday when vice presidential candidate Mike Pence admitted to eating dinner at Chili's. At 4pm. In New York City, ostensibly one of the best culinary cities in the world.

But while it's cool to be hard on Pence, let's soften our hearts a bit for Chili's. Pence's real sin was eating dinner at 4:30pm — the truth is, there are many Chili's menu items that even our jaded urban hearts can love.
