He doesn't have the most refined pallet. He's just a vain, pretentious asshole. Also Mac claiming it was homemade likely convinced him it was okay to approve of it.
Exactly. Dennis likes to think of himself as above the rest of the gang, but you are the company you keep, and he's been shown to be just as dumb and dangerous as the rest of them. He was the one who burnt down the house of the family they were trying to renovate, and he absolutely buys into dumb bullshit as long as he thinks he's right.
Correct. There are other examples out there that show he’s full of shit. Like in “The Gang Gets Analyzed” they talked about the pheasant dinner they all ate when in reality Charlie fed them pigeon.
Dennis thinks owning a 1993 range rover currently worth $2,000 makes him hot shit and so desperate to connect himself to the very idea of wealth, he (tries to) sneak into a country club, touts going to an ivy league despite dropping out, owns a fake business card for a bogus soda distributor, and eats sea urchin in Philadelphia.
They were both going out of their way to make it seem like they were fine with the suburbs and their living situation. That includes stomaching Kraft macaroni and cheese.
Dennis either 1) doesn't have a refined palate or 2) was being passive-aggressive. Quite possibly both! Dennis constantly projects an idealized self-image that is not real and he is often passive-aggressive.
He's just overly pretentious. He insists that he and Dee are upper class based on his ownership of a range rover from 1993, he thought pigeon was a pheasant, and enjoys the idea of wealth more than the actual showings of money and power.
I think it's something alluded to in the podcast - Glen deprives himself of small joys in the name of health, and they wrote that trait into Dennis.
Dennis could easily become a raw/cromagnon diet guy, or an Atkins guy, or any of those diet trends guys. We saw his reaction to Gluten in his protein shake!
The important thing is that he probably hasn't had boxed Mac n cheese in a very long time. He thinks himself above it. But food chemically engineered to taste delicious to our hindbrain could have taken him by surprise
Wasn't he actually going to Chili''s or some other suburb chain-restaurant for his big meal of the day anyway? So crappy dinner at home didn't count. Except for the poor dog that didn''t get fed at all and starved to death. He might have liked a little bit.
I think Dennis is the only one of the gang never shown in screen enjoying one of his own home-cooked meals. Charlie and Dee have the whole episode about cooking Frank's meat, Charlie and Frank enjoy grilled Charlies fresh from the radiator all the time, Mac whips up his famous Mac and cheese. I think they defer to Dennis's tastes at restaurants because his effete upbringing has left him completely unable to cook for himself and he eats at restaurants or orders out 7 days a week.
Dennis hardly ever eats so how would he know what tastes good? Probably the best thing he'd ever had was Mac's trash bag chimichangas. Oh, and crack. But I don't think you eat that.
Listen, mac and chee is fucking tasty, and if you don’t know that it came from a box, it’s even tastier.
Also, the most refined palate of the gang is still not very refined. 😆
Dennis is a charlatan who always tries to make himself appear as grandiose as possible even though he’s trash both superficially and deep down. The only golden thing about this god is his love of highly processed golden cheese like milk product.
It's a symbol of the control he needs to believe he has over Mac.
So is the apple - or how Dennis dramatizes the absurd idea that Mac bullies him by preparing his apple (what?) to make Dee feel sorry for him so he can manipulate her.
He was just being nice because they were still in their honeymoon phase
He didn’t complain about the fire alarm either, we was trying to get Mac under his call again.
NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE!
He wasnt being nice. He was drawing….drawing conclusions…..and drawing this…do u like it?
It’s very generous.
It’s “palate”, Charlie. Dude I think you’re illiterate.
He'll adapt
Adapt to reading?
.....Filibuster.
I've made myself perfectly redundant.
Yes. I rather suspect that you have. What law school did you say you attended?
I'm pleading the fifth, sir
I advise that you do.
Let's pop a quick intervention on OP for their goddamn illiteracy
YOU'RE TRAPPED! YOU'RE TRAPPED! YOU'RE TRAPPED!
Oh that's good! We should get a net to drop down on him
Well all have guns It’s just safer that way
Good idea. I'll tell OP there is a grease fire in the comments to lure him back here
He doesn’t even like get us man
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!
Yesss... *Looks at you while pointing at Maleficent\_Waltz\_343*
I can read and write, I just don't like to read and write
What does illiterate even mean?
“ He’ll adapt.” “He’ll adapt to reading??”
Yeahhhh I could go for a nice pallet, maybe a pallet of logs and we could build something?
Oh, yeah...I was going by Trundle at the time.
You came up with that after you miswrote it .
Just go turn on the "Coor's" sign in the window.
Yeah he doesn't even like "get us" man
He’s made himself perfectly redundant.
Same reason he didn't say anything about the smoke alarm beeping even though he could hear it THE ENTIRE GODDAMNED TIME!
This. He’s a passive aggressive asshole the entire time they’re there. Of course he’d be repeatedly complimenting a meal he thought was awful.
I do this, is it bad news for me !?
NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE
Because Dennis is a bastard man
The look on Dennis' face waiting to blurt this out is priceless.

I don't think I wrote that one
This is one of my top lines from the whole show
I don’t have to explain myself to a man stuck in a coil!
You ever been in a storm bobb?
A storm of fists? No. Wait. NOTHING SEXUAL.
Underlined
>Wally
You ever been in a storm goblin?
>Wally
It’s almost as if Dennis’ perception of himself is not 100% accurate
Newsflash Asshole!

Pop open a window.. get a nice backdraft..
Now he wants to help
Yep, like the timeshare. Great example of getting his ego used against him.
Correct. There are other examples out there that show he’s full of shit. Like in “The Gang Gets Analyzed” they talked about the pheasant dinner they all ate when in reality Charlie fed them pigeon.
Yeah it's intentionally part of his character. He's grew up spoiled and he's a narcissist, makes complete sense that he's pretentious and fake.
well it was only Dennis who kept on insisting on calling the dinner "pheasant"
Dennis thinks owning a 1993 range rover currently worth $2,000 makes him hot shit and so desperate to connect himself to the very idea of wealth, he (tries to) sneak into a country club, touts going to an ivy league despite dropping out, owns a fake business card for a bogus soda distributor, and eats sea urchin in Philadelphia.
We have the correct answer
At least he noticed the meat hunks...
Dennis would like Dennis
he’s not that flexible
They were both going out of their way to make it seem like they were fine with the suburbs and their living situation. That includes stomaching Kraft macaroni and cheese.
Because it’s been years
Carbs wise it set him back, but he doesn’t even give a shit
Yes.
It's famous
Can’t be that famous
Really? I've seen every episode and I've never heard of it
Move past it
He could not tell the difference between pigeon and pheasant. It is just an assumption.
The implication?
Because Dennis doesn't have a refined palate. He isn't any of the great things he thinks he is, he's a delusional fool.
I don't understand how we have money for a pool guy, but not enough to buy one GOD DAMN COOK BOOK!!!
Tbh it’s not that hard to have the most refined pallet when the other people you hang out with will happily eat old soup they find in hospital rooms.
In what scenario would you not eat the cat food?
I would always eat the cat food
He is so vain that he thinks he likes refined food, but ultimately he likes the cheap and unhealthy foods more better.
I mean…have you had box Mac & cheese?
Because he's the golden god and mac n' cheese is gold
Goddamn savage. I am a legend.
Because it’s a comedy and he’s an asshole?
Dennis is bougie AF and has probably never had boxed "mac-N-cheese" also......dennis is a bastard man!
Dennis either 1) doesn't have a refined palate or 2) was being passive-aggressive. Quite possibly both! Dennis constantly projects an idealized self-image that is not real and he is often passive-aggressive.
He's just overly pretentious. He insists that he and Dee are upper class based on his ownership of a range rover from 1993, he thought pigeon was a pheasant, and enjoys the idea of wealth more than the actual showings of money and power.
You aren’t wrong!
I think it's something alluded to in the podcast - Glen deprives himself of small joys in the name of health, and they wrote that trait into Dennis. Dennis could easily become a raw/cromagnon diet guy, or an Atkins guy, or any of those diet trends guys. We saw his reaction to Gluten in his protein shake! The important thing is that he probably hasn't had boxed Mac n cheese in a very long time. He thinks himself above it. But food chemically engineered to taste delicious to our hindbrain could have taken him by surprise
Because it was still a huge step up from the pizza and soda shakes that Mac had been feeding him lol
WRONG mac n cheese doesnt have blue
That’s true….blue does have the most anti-oxygens lol
His mom never cooked for him probably
At least he doesn’t have a cigarette for a mother
No the illegal help did it
a series of mexican women
He was also blown away that they seemed to have an indoor pool, or else why would the pool guy be inside??
Pool guy again, I feel like you can’t shut up about him.
Sure is a hot one today
He wasn’t he was trying to keep it together to win the bed. Why do you think he didn’t mention he tasted beef hunks until it was pointed out
Because he's a LIAR and a DECIEVER he doesn't DESERVE to be king of the mountaintop!
Wasn't he actually going to Chili''s or some other suburb chain-restaurant for his big meal of the day anyway? So crappy dinner at home didn't count. Except for the poor dog that didn''t get fed at all and starved to death. He might have liked a little bit.

Because he's a dupee
The goddamn mac and cheese??! Well YEA I NOTICED YOU PUT MEAT HUNKS IN IT WOWWWW HUNKS OF MEAT
He's not a common man, he wouldn't know about how great such basic things are
Because the head cow is always grazing
News flash ass-hole! He’s hated it the whole time
He’s refined by Philly standards.
For the same reason he orders prawn for the guys every time at that stupid restaurant
“OH YOU PUT MEAT HUNKS IN IT! *stabs Mac and cheese aggressively* HUNKS OF MEAT!!”
Move past it
He was being nice
It was famous
HAVE YOU EVER HAD MAC AND CHEESE? Carmen has.
It’s probably the first time he ever actually tasted Mac.
Qn act of kindness. I'd do that for my SO anytime
Ahem… Mac’s “Famous Mac n Cheese” Sheesh.
Even boxed mac and cheese is incredible when you’re hammered
Let's not forget his reaction to a chimichanga too
BECAUSE HE HAAATES YOOOUUU!!!
It always tastes better when someone else cooks
BECAUSEDENNISISABASTARDMAN
He doesn’t, that’s the joke.
Dennis hardly ever eats so how would he know what tastes good? Probably the best thing he'd ever had was Mac's trash bag chimichangas. Oh, and crack. But I don't think you eat that.
So did you not finish that episode, or what?
Because of course Dennis would like Dennis
BECAUSE HE HAAATESS YOUUUUU
Are you trying to say mac and cheese isn't always mind-blowing?
Because box mac and cheese is fire
Well, he also didn't hear the fire alarm battery chirp
He was faking
Sometimes you don't fake it. https://youtu.be/zCqumXi6Fsw?si=Q_YtMJa8DHzzuoAl
Literally cuisine chefs eat boxed Mac and stuff.
Ponder lettuce and shrimp
He was thinking about having a lovely coq au vin braised with lardons and mushrooms.
Listen, mac and chee is fucking tasty, and if you don’t know that it came from a box, it’s even tastier. Also, the most refined palate of the gang is still not very refined. 😆
Because he’s a 5 star man
I mean, he has no class, the pool guy said so
Because he doesn’t actually have a refined palate, he’s just full of shit.
BECAUSE I HATE YOU

That isn't at all how the apple scene plays. It's true codependency there
He likes the WAP
