On the Border: Deleted Mexican Food
For Ma’s birthday she asked us skip her usual Red Lobster in favor of a chain Mexican place called On the Border. I was excited to have Mexican because generally my father in unwilling to go, picturing nothing but “beans and cheese.” Negatives: All the food fell into either the dry or too salty category. […]
Awesome Foods: toasted muffins with butter
One of the simple pleasures of living in the NJ/NY/CT area is the toasted muffin with butter. I got this Banana Nut Muffin at Bagels and Wraps located at 523 5th Ave between 13th/14th in Park Slope Brooklyn for $2.25. I go to this particular shop because there is a curmudgeonly man who works there […]
Sesmark Rice Thins: Sesame
I guess it was bound to happen. I finally had a rice cracker I didn’t care for. The Sesmark Sesame Rice Thins are good quality but don’t taste the way you expect from rice crackers. The package contains around 64 crackers and the weights 4.25 ounces. Again rice crackers weigh a lot less but still […]
Jay’s Caribbean Cuisine in Lawrenceville (metro Atlanta)
One of my favorite things to do while visiting family is to introduce them to new foods. My parents are based in Lawrenceville Georgia, an Atlanta suburb. It’s easy to drive around this large metropolis and only notice the strip malls full of nail salons, bail bondsman and laudromats. If you drop your cynicism though […]
Hershey’s Special Dark – a serious question
Why do they place you in variety packs when we all know you’re so much better than the other chocolates? You are forced to live with inferior chocolates like Krackel and Mr. Goodbar. Of course, to make you last longer I must eat the others but it feels laborious at times. I have love for […]
Snikiddy Baked Fries: Gluten Free (Classic Ketchup Flavor)
Here’s the deal. Because of this gluten free thing I’ve tried to keep my eyes open for new tasty snacks which meet dietary restrictions. In the crunchies category there are tons of corn/tortilla, or sweet potato chips out there. Very few however aspire to have flavors beyond the base ingredients. The Snikiddy Baked Fries are […]
Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame): Gluten Free
When my girlfriend switched to gluten free it caused a reassessment in what to buy when we snack together. A happy discovery was rice crackers. Lately I’ve enjoyed the Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Sesame) (another good brand is the ubiquitous KA-ME). They’re baked and low in fat. The packet was only $1.79 for a 3.5 […]
Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry: A disturbance in the force
My brother is on the snack beat in London currently. One of the first things he sees: a sign for the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry. My love for the quintessential Easter candy is documented but this sounds waaaaaay too rich. Warning: Image (in my opinion) is disturbing: Call me old fashioned but I don’t think […]
Primorski Restaurant: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn
I took a college buddy to Coney Island and down the boardwalk to Brighton Beach recently. I’ve gotten food to go several times in Brighton Beach but was never bold enough to try a sit down place. Places such as the National looked so ostentatious I assumed every place would be too high end. Bolstered […]
