About this episode
Black Bart's Cave! Cliff divers! Sopapillas You'll get all that and more as we review the all-timer 'Casa Bonita', which sees Cartman kidnap Butters as a ploy to secure the last invitation to Kyle's birthday party. We discuss the insane history of the real-life restaurant and how Parker and Stone eventually purchased it (including reading some hilarious online reviews from customers), the appeal of "themed" restaurants, the way Butters is being used more effectively in recent episodes, whether or not it's ok to laugh at Jimmy, the potential for a South Park disaster movie parody and more.
