**Trungo's** is a brewpub in Leesburg, Virginia offering craft beers & local wines plus American bar eats in a windowed, vintage storefront.

Google Trungo's, it'll come up. There's not a lot of competing search results.

## Location

Trungo's is located in Leesburg, Virginia, near Wirt Street. If you live in one of the neighboring states, you can drive to Trungo's, have a meal, and drive back before EFAP is done streaming.

If you're wondering if you're in the right location, Trungo's is close to Tally Ho Theater, and a bikeride away from the Plum Grove Cyclery (they cycle plum groves) in Fahrradgeschaft. It is also near an oyster bar, Buford's Biscuits, Señor Ramon Taqueria, Fireworks Pizza (which combined two things that aren't supposed to be combined), and Shoe's Cup & Cork.

Trungos is not too far from an airport, for anyone wishing to journey to Trungo's.

The area surrounding Trungo's has been endearingly named Wumbo Towun by travelers, and a map of the area drafted by cartographer Happy Nihilist details the path taken past the Voluntear Fire Company (“We make fire!”), The Resourceful Whamen's Homemade Asteroid Defance, Delirium Cafe, and the aforementioned Fireworks Pizza and Shoe's Cup & Cork that leads to Trungo's.

## Menu

Trungo's offers craft beers and local wines, plus American bar eats. Their online menu stretches to fit the width of whatever window it's in, and it includes pulled pork, grilled cheese, and nachos, as well as schnitzel. They boast guiltless mini desserts, allowing you to eat their pot de creme chocolate and peach cheesecake without guilt. This is a subtle reference to the fact that they are not a front for the mob.

Trungo's also has great sausages, delish. A big juicy sausage, look at the size of it, it's huge. God damn it's a big sausage, a girthy sausage that would fill you right up. And not just girthy, it's long - it's both. It's a hefty piece of meat, jeez. With girthy flavor.

The Trungo's Salad is “garnished with wholesome nuts,” much like the EFAP Podcast. This may or may not be related to the Wholesome Nut Company.

Eagle-eyed viewers may notice Chickpea Grumbo, a secret menu item that can only be seen if you look at the menu a certain way. Another secret menu item is Kraft Mac & Cheese served in a wine glass.

## Reservations

If you try to call Trungo's there is a change that Trungo himself will call you first, putting the Trungo's logo on your phone screen. People often hit decline due to the shock. Currently, they are not taking reservations, even at 1:30 on a Saturday, and you will instead be met with an answering message informing you that if you call 15-30 minutes in advance they'll make sure the next table's available for you. You have to go to Trungo's to find out its secrets. This may be because they are really booked - they *are* Trungo's afterall - or it may be because reservations are too hoity-toity for them, and they instead instead follow the philosophy of "You walk in, you get Grumbo. That's how it works at Trungo's. For this reason, Hi-Top Films would likely not enjoy eating there.

The trek to Trungo's is a worthwhile one - even after a 12-hour drive, it is worth sleeping in the car waiting the extra time for them to catch new Grumbos so they can serve you properly. You get paid to eat at Trungo's, the payment being the joy of eating at Trungo's.

EFAP first discovered Trungo's at the beginning of EFAP 171, when Jay was asked what movies he hadn't seen. Jay's citing of *Trungo's Adventure* led to the realization that Trungo's is the name of a real life eatery. This Trungo Arc designated EFAP 171 as the TrungoFAP.

Trungo's is the official meeting place for fans of EFAP, whom you can recognize by their plushies or from the sound of the podcast coming from their phones.

Trungo's is incredibly highly rated, with a 4.6/5 from 192 reviews. There is only one 1-star review, from someone named Whole Healthy Living, who said

> "The chicken waffles had a very little piece of chicken and little sauce on 2 huge waffles, my children ordered lemonade and got sour mix on ice and the muscles salsa verde were nothing but steamed muscles in a watery butter broth and half of the muscles were empty or closed shells. Very expensive and looked to be more of a bar catering to the delirious who know nothing about dining."

He probably went to another restaurant and reviewed Trungo's by mistake. Another much more satisfied customer gave Trungo's a glowing review:

> "My company hosted a casual networking event at Trungo’s and we couldn’t be happier! Such an amazing experience. The beverage options were top notch, the food was delicious, and the logistics were wonderful."

## Related Businesses

* Wumbology Photography - Open 24 hours. No listed directions, raising the question of whether they really exist, though they are allegedly close to Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The name may be a Spongebob reference. Do not actually call them unless to schedule an appointment that you intend to fulfill. They are a real business that do not need to put up with prank calls from random podcast listeners.

* Wumbo Jumbo Bounce House -Open 24 hours for anyone who needs a bounce house at 3am, Wumbo Jumbo has demonstrated itself powerful enough to trap the Avengers inside one of its bounce houses, explaining the current Wumbo Jumbo-tier quality of the MCU (Wumbo Jumbo-tier is a positive thing for businesses, but negative for films). It has 12 reviews, all of which are 5 stars. One satisfied customer named Rachel says

> “Holy smokes, these guys are amazing! Professional and kind. I will be using this company again. Kids and adults loved it. Timely dropoff and pickup. The guys who delivered it were the BEST”
>
>

It has been theorized that Wumbo Jumbo is an FBI plant looking for people who order bounce houses at 3am, or that they are a front for the mob, who maintain their 5-star rating by threatening that if you give a bad rating, you'll get a bad rating, meaning that your nose will be taped closed and an air pump inserted in your mouth until you either change your review or explode. These theories are unconfirmed, however. Do not actually call them unless to order a bounce house that you intend to use. They are a real business that do not need to put up with prank calls from random podcast listeners.
