I’ve reviewed a lot of products that I commonly call “gas station foods,” or ready to eat and heat and eat sandwiches.

Seems like every restaurant brand is trying to extend their reach by putting labeled products in the grocery aisles; if my memory is correct, seems like Taco Bell was first.

At the time, I recall my father telling me the reason we took the train, is he wanted us to have… Continue reading Amtrak – Cascades Limited Train Cafe Car
