I’ve written about White Castle several times; I never imagined I’d be reviewing a seafood offering from the purveyors of America’s favorite sliders. Many restaurants offer seafood specials during the season of Lent; the practice has extended to many fast food outlets as well. The tradition stems from an ancient Christian practice, a variation of… Continue reading White Castle Shrimp Nibblers Review

Regional Chain – Meatheads Burgers and Fries Reviews
Started by a former exec of Potbelly and Einstein Bagels (according to Wikipedia) , Meatheads sprang to life in Bloomington, IL, in 2007 where the local college population took a shine to it. Now with a dozen company-owned stores, this ‘fast-casual’ concept is trying to differentiate itself from competitors like Five Guys and Smashburger with… Continue reading Regional Chain – Meatheads Burgers and Fries Reviews
Fast Food Reviews – Kentucky Fried Chicken Tenders
Earlier this year, I did a compare/contrast of chicken fingers in the deep south; I had a hankering for the white bread of the poultry world tonight, and Popeye’s would be my usual choice, but the two closest were too far away. So I went to KFC. I’m old enough to remember when that stood… Continue reading Fast Food Reviews – Kentucky Fried Chicken Tenders
Nationwide – Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen
Mrs. Burgerdogboy do love her Popeye’e, especially a side of red beans, and I’m always happy to oblige her, as she’s taught me the whole “happy wife, happy life” thing, and it’s 100% on target. So whenever I roll past a Popeye’s, or am pointed in that direction by my better two-thirds, off I go,… Continue reading Nationwide – Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen
Nationwide – Smashburger
Rolled into Smashburger, my first visit. The Smash started in 2007 in Denver, by fast food vet Tom Ryan, who did stints at Pizza Hut, Quiznos, and McDonalds. His wiki bio gives him credit for introducing the thin crust pizza at the ‘Hut, and for McGriddles and McFlurry at the golden arches. Named for the… Continue reading Nationwide – Smashburger
Joliet, IL – Steak ‘n Shake Steak Dog
First the “Steakburger”, now the “Steak Dog”. I’m a fan of Steak N Shake, have been for years, even though they never seem to be located in my part of the country, I stop when I am able. My previous forays have been written about here. This trip a mere dunk in / out as… Continue reading Joliet, IL – Steak ‘n Shake Steak Dog
McDonald’s Fish McBites
Couple weeks ago, I wrote a piece about being done with McDonald’s because of my continuing disappointment with their food. Sometimes they get you whether you want them to or not, in being the only place open, the only place around, the only place with unlocked bathrooms (or free wifi). My kid and I were… Continue reading McDonald’s Fish McBites
Wendy’s Premium North Pacific Cod Sandwich
I slammed McD’s on this site the other week for having nothing on their menu that tastes like the animal it came from. That’s not a problem at Wendy’s, and especially with their new Premium North Pacific Cod sandwich, which boasts a hand-cut filet, lightly breaded with panko, fried until crispy, served on a soft… Continue reading Wendy’s Premium North Pacific Cod Sandwich
Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries Review
I am kinda tired of the word “fresh.” Also, if you’re counting, “new,” “but wait..”, “natural”, and “you may have won.” Boardwalk originated on the Atlantic City boardwalk (New Jersey), selling “fresh, hot fries”. Period. They launched a couple other locations, and recently, went into the franchised burger and fry biz. Excited yet? Me, too! … Continue reading Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries Review
Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator
It’s big (yet smaller), full of bacony and beefy goodness. It’s Wendy’s “Son of Baconator”, a smaller version (on everything except flavor!) of the popular ‘big’ baconator launched last year. Two fresh beef patties, four strips of bacon, a buttered, toasted bun. Topped off with mayo, ketchup, and American cheese. 700 calories and 40 carbs,… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator
