White Castle Chicken Waffle Review

White Castle has been trying on a lot of different dishes for size lately. Jalapeno and siracha everything, for example.  Tonight I went for the “Chicken & Waffle Slider,” a take off on the current chicken and waffle craze sweeping the country.  Used to be you could only get that dish in about three restaurants… Continue reading White Castle Chicken Waffle Review

Klements Polish Sausage Review

One of Milwaukee’s largest and oldest sausage companies, Klement’s is often my ‘go-to’ purveyor when I’m looking for processed meats.  When I’m not in their distribution area, I even order care packages online.  The company has a wide variety of fresh and cooked sausages, as well as deli and sandwich meats.   I am fond… Continue reading Klements Polish Sausage Review

Advance Pierre Pretzel Cheeseburger Review

Every time I think I have covered every single availability in the ‘heat and eat’ burger category, I run across a new one.  This week it’s the “Pretzel Cheeseburger” from Advance Pierre, arguably the largest manufacturer of heat and eat burgers, and I’ve tried a gaggle of them.

Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL

Despite there being an awfully lot of diners in the US that were founded by, or are run by persons of Greek descent, it’s uncommon that you run into places serving a “Greek burger,” which happens to be a combination I really enjoy. The recipe doesn’t vary much, and usually includes lettuce, tomato, cuke slices,… Continue reading Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL
