>>> WELCOME BACK TO RIVER CITY
LIVE FROM THE AVENUES MALL.
OBVIOUSLY GOLF IS HUGE IN
FLORIDA.
WITH TOP GOLF JUST OPENING UP
RECENTLY, THE EXPERIENCE HAS
EXPLODED.
>> Mark: SO RANCE HEADED OUT
THAT WAY.
RANCE IS NOT A GOLFER, HE IS A
FOODIE.
AND HE DISCOVERED A REALLY TASTY
DISH.
>> Rance: EVERYBODY WHEN THEY
GO TO TOP GOLF ARE THINKING I'M
GOING TO HIT SOME BALLS AND
SCORE POINTS, BUT WHAT DO I DO
BEST?
I FIND THE FOOD ASPECT OF
THINGS.
I'M SITTING HERE WITH THE CHEF
AND THE EXECUTIVE CHEF HERE AT
TOP GOLF.
YOU GUYS HAVE AN AMAZING SETUP
HERE, AN AMAZING MENU, AMAZING
BAR.
YOU GUYS DO THIS THING WHERE THE
FOOD IS MADE FROM SCRATCH?
>> YEAH, OF COURSE.
ABOUT 90% OF IT IS ALL MADE HERE
IN-HOUSE EVERY SINGLE DAY FROM
OUR BACON MAC AND CHEESE SPRING
ROLLS, FLAT BREADS, PICKLE FRIED
CHICKEN.
YOU NAME IT, IT IS HERE.
>> Rance: I HEARD YOU HAD A
LINE OUT THE DOOR AT ONE TIME.
HOW DO YOU KEEP UP WITH THAT?
>> YOU MAKE IT WORK.
WE ARE SUPER POPULAR RIGHT
NOW EVERYBODY IS LOVING TOP
GOLF.
WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM HERE AND WE
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
>> Rance: YOU GUYS HAVE ALL
THIS ACTION, ALL THIS FOOD.
WHAT DO I LIKE?
THE SWEET STUFF.
YOU DO THIS INCREDIBLE THING
WITH DOUGHNUT HOLES.
>> YEAH, OF COURSE.
THE DOUGHNUT HOLES ARE SOMETHING
WE DO SPECIAL HERE AT TOP GOLF.
THEY ARE AVAILABLE AT EVERY
SINGLE TOP GOLF.
YOU GET YOUR INJECTORS AND GET
TO PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD A BIT,
WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT.
>> Rance: I LIKE PLAYING WITH
MY FOOD, SO ENLIGHTEN ME.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
>> WE GET OUR DOUGHNUT HOLES,
FRY THEM UP.
SOON AS THEY COME OUT OF THE
FRYER, PUT IN A CINNAMON SUGAR
MIX AND THEY COME IN LIKE THIS.
SO YOU GET 24 DOUGHNUT HOLES PER
ORDER, PERFECT TO SHARE, PERFECT
FOR LARGER PARTIES.
AND YOU GET YOUR CHOICE OF THREE
FLAVORS.
YOU HAVE A BAVARIAN CREAM,
CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND RASPBERRY
SAUCE AS WELL.
YOU CAN FILL THEM IN AS MUCH OR
AS LITTLE SAUCE AS YOU WANT.
>> Rance: DO I GET THE POWER TO
FILL MY OWN DOUGHNUTS?
>> THE SAUCE DESTINY IS YOURS.
>> Rance: I MUST GO TO THERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU THE POWER OF THE
MIC AND YOU CAN EXPLAIN HOW THI
PROCESS WORKS.
>> PERFECT.
YOU START WITH WHATEVER FLAVOR
YOU WANT.
THAT IS THE BAVARIAN CREAM.
THEY HAVE A LID ON TOP.
YOU HAVE TO UNSCREW THE LID,
VERY CRUCIAL.
THEN SELECT WHICHEVER DOUGHNUT
HOLE LOOKS THE BEST TO YOU.
COME WITH A LITTLE SKEWER ON
THERE TO HOLD THEM ALL IN PLACE.
YOU WANT TO START, JUST TAKE THE
TIP OF THE INJECTOR, PUSH IT IN
A LITTLEBIT, SQUEEZE THE BACK
OF THE PLUNGER, THAT STARTS TO
FILL THE DOUGHNUT HOLE
AND THEN YOU ENJOY.
>> Rance: HOW MANY OF THESE DO
YOU GO THROUGH A DAY?
>> WE'LL GO THROUGH THOUSANDS
OF THEM A DAY.
>> Rance: CAN I TRY CHOCOLATE?
>> OF COURSE.
YOU HAVE TO TRY ALL THREE.
>> Rance: YOU HAVE A MENU OUT
THAT IS COMING OUT THAT IS GOING
TO BE AWESOME.
>> ABOUT FOUR TIMES A YEAR WE
CHANGE OUR MENU AND WE ALWAYS
OFFER SOME -- YOU'LL NEED TO CAP
OFF THAT ONE.
ABOUT FOUR TIMES A YEAR WE
CHANGE THE MENU AND TRY TO FOCUS
ON WHAT IS SEASONAL.
WE ARE FINISHING UP OUR WINTER
MENU, THEN OUR SPRING MENU AFTER
THAT, TO REALLY CAPTURE WHAT IS
IN SEASON AT THAT TIME.
AGAIN, WE ARE 90% FROM SCRATCH
SO WE ARE HEAVILY FOCUSED ON THE
CULINARY SIDE OF THINGS HERE AT
TOP GOLF.
>> Rance: I'M GOING TO TAKE
THIS BACK.
ALL RIGHT, YOU NEED TO COME OUT
AND TRY INJECTABLE DOUGHNUTS.
RIGHT NOW I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE
A NICE, PRIVATE CONVERSATION
WITH CHEF OVER DOUGHNUT HOLES.
>> Mark: SO RANCE BROUGHT BACK
A WHOLE BATCH OF THOSE DOUGHNUT
HOLES AND OUR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
GAVE IT A THUMBS UP, WHICH IS
CODE FOR MEANING HE ATE THEM
ALL.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT THERE.
