I keep hoping that a single one of these restaurant branded foods you find in the grocery is worth buying a second time; unfortunately, in my opinion, that hasn’t happened. This is my second Red Robin product, I tried their fries previously, which didn’t wow me. They are an extruded potato product, something I am… Continue reading Red Robin Frozen Onion Rings Review

Holi Cannoli Review – Elkhorn, WI
Seems like lately I’ve been hitting “out of the way” pizza places like this one, on US Highway 12, 6.5 miles north of Elkhorn, WI and the junction of 12 and I-43. It’s about a 15 minute drive from the popular Lake Geneva recreation area in Southern Wisconsin. I’ve driven by this place many… Continue reading Holi Cannoli Review – Elkhorn, WI
Aldi Braunschweiger Review
You know I am generally OK with ALDI, the German owned budget grocery chain across the US. They create their own brand names and go to top manufacturers to have the product made. They retail for 25-50% of the “big name” brands. “Deutsche Kuche” (translator: “German cuisine”) is the brand name they cooked up for… Continue reading Aldi Braunschweiger Review
Shake Shack Chicago Review
I am generally prepared to not be so wild about places that receive a huge amount of hype; as an example, I found Umami Burger to be……..something worth laughing about. And when citiy’s make their “best of the best” list, those are always awful, like Stanich’s in Portland, or Port of Call in New Orleans.… Continue reading Shake Shack Chicago Review
Fresh Picked Pizza Review – Shoreview, MN
Twin Cities Bureau Chief Lauren popped in to Fresh Picked, in the far northern ‘burbs. Had the sausage pie as an eat-in, but observed the take out, including take and bake business was brisker than the inside diners. “Thinish” but with a thicker crust, she reports it was good, but not great. Exterior of the… Continue reading Fresh Picked Pizza Review – Shoreview, MN
Farmer Johns Sausage Review
I’ve never been much for “brown and serve” type breakfast sausages; to me, they have always represented one of the main components of civic group and church pancake breakfasts, huge chafing trays of the little pork links. But it’s hard to pass up any processed pork product that is selling for around $2 a pound… Continue reading Farmer Johns Sausage Review
Bagel Bites Review
Bagel Bites were invented by Stanley Garczynski and Bob Mosher of Florida, and sold out to a larger food company early on. Today they are in the hands of Ore-Ida (Heinz), not sure why, the company doesn’t have any similar products. They aren’t even mentioned on Ore-Ida’s main website, but have their own home, where… Continue reading Bagel Bites Review
Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet Review – Fridley, MN
Spoiler alert: Best……Asian…….Buffet…..anywhere……..The Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet doesn’t actually offer Teppanyaki (cooking at the table), but there’s not much else it misses. It has one of the largest selections of food I’ve ever encountered in one of these places, including every kind of seafood, noodle, rice dish, soups, American foods, a custom grill where the… Continue reading Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet Review – Fridley, MN
