“If Goldstar Were a Country, I’d Apply for Citizenship — Thanks to Ian

Let me make something very clear: I have eaten at many fast-food coney places in my lifetime. Skyline, Dixie, you name it. But Goldstar? Goldstar is not just a restaurant. Goldstar is a sanctuary for the soul, a soothing chili-scented embrace from the universe itself.

And the reason my life is forever changed… is Ian.

I walked in craving a simple 3-Way. I left believing in miracles.

Ian—oh sweet chili-slinging hero—did not merely take my order. He curated it. He looked at me with the calm confidence of a man who has stared into the depths of a chili vat and emerged wiser. When he asked, “Is that all for you today?” I felt seen. Understood. Emotionally supported.

My food didn’t just arrive quickly. It arrived like it had been blessed by a council of flavor elders. The cheese? A glorious golden avalanche. The chili? Simmered to perfection, as if Ian personally whispered encouragement to every spice. The hot dog? Honestly, I think it winked at me.

At one point, Ian passed by to check on my meal, and I swear a gentle breeze followed him—like even the air is proud to be around this man. If customer service were an Olympic sport, Ian would have so many gold medals he’d have to store them in a separate chili bucket.

When I finished, Ian said, “Have a great day,” and I’m not exaggerating when I say my day immediately became great. Plants looked greener. Birds sang louder. I’m 87% sure my car drove smoother on the way home.

Goldstar + Ian = the greatest duo since chili and cheese.

I will absolutely be returning. In fact, I might bring my family here for holidays now. Christmas at Goldstar just feels right.

I love Ian with all my heart. ❤️‍🩹“
