Billy Goat Frozen Burger Review – from Devanco Foods

The restaurant part of the legend of the Billy Goat Tavern began on Chicago’s South Side in 1934. Greek immigrant William Sianas paid $205 for the Lincoln Tavern. In 1964, Sianas moved the bar to its current subterranean location, and it’s here, underneath Chicago’s Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue, that the modern part of the… Continue reading Billy Goat Frozen Burger Review – from Devanco Foods

Food Club Liquid Eggs Review

I’ve never tried “liquid eggs” (industry term: breaker eggs), but I see them used quite a bit at charity breakfasts I attend. I do recall having powdered (dehydrated) eggs, which have been around for more than a hundred years. My experience was on Scout trips – the eggs were pretty awful.  So I set out… Continue reading Food Club Liquid Eggs Review

Boston Market Country Fried Steak Review

Bear with me as I take you on this journey of magical heat and eat meals. Today’s example, “Boston Market” Country Fried Steak. A frozen entree, with mash potatoes and cream gravy. Boston Market, like many companies, does not actually produce this product, but licenses their name to  Bellisio Foods, a company I know a bit… Continue reading Boston Market Country Fried Steak Review

Dutch Farms Frozen Cheeseburger Review

I’ve tried a lot of these ‘heat and eat’ burgers, some full cooked, some raw that you have to cook. It’s a long list of these sandwiches that I have slogged through, 7-Eleven, Trader Joes, Fatburger, SteaknShake, Ball Park, Biz Az, of course White Castle, and so many others. Today’s entry is from Dutch Farms,… Continue reading Dutch Farms Frozen Cheeseburger Review

Supreme Lobster Appetizers

Had an occasion to need appetizers this week, but didn’t have time to make them.  A local Chicago company, Supreme Lobster and Seafood, sells quality heat and eat appys to bail you out of just such a jam. Picked up their bacon wrapped scallops and their lobster rangoon won tons. Both could be ready in… Continue reading Supreme Lobster Appetizers

Red Robin Frozen Onion Rings Review

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

Lunchable Waffle Stick Breakfast Review

Well this is a curious thing, spotted at WalMart for about a buck. “Lunchables” are “complete” meals to go, to eat heated or at room temperature, and were introduced in 1988 by Oscar Mayer, now part of Kraft. They were created by a team at  Oscar Mayer as a way to sell more bologna, and… Continue reading Lunchable Waffle Stick Breakfast Review

Digiorno Self Rising Pizza Review

It may not be delivery, it’s “Digiorno,” but for me, another “d” word motivates me to buy this brand: “desperation.” Translation? I’m in the mood for a frozen pie and happen to be someplace where this is the only thing available. In the case of last night, at a 7-Eleven, where the self-rising pepperoni was… Continue reading Digiorno Self Rising Pizza Review

Circle A Ranch Country Fried Beef

I’ve written a whole lot about  the products from Cincinnati-based Advance Pierre, the premiere “heat and eat” and “gas station sandwich” maker in the U.S.  Often, besides in vending and C-stores, you’ll find their frozen products at dollar stores. You know how much I love chicken fried steak?  I’ve tried it all over the country, both… Continue reading Circle A Ranch Country Fried Beef
