Restaurant Reviews

  • We share our lackluster experiences with this once-pretty solid chicken joint.
• Chicago O'Hare Eateries

• Napa Thai
  • This restaurant, local to the Lexington, VA, area, provides delicious Thai food in a nicely crafted atmosphere.

• Pizza Hut
  • Having lucked into a stuffed crust pizza, we take a look at that pie, along with other items I like to get from the Hut.
• Sugarfire Smokehouse
  • We take a few trips to this downtown Indianapolis BBQ join (not sadly closed).

  • Lord Fizzlebeef has another airport adventure, with another sad restaurant experience.
• Victoria & Albert's
  • We review the seven courses (and counting) in a meal at this five-star restaurant.

Spicy Chickens

• Spicy Chicken Wars
  • We go on a quest to see what the best Spicy Chicken sandwich is out there, and the result should be all too expected.
• Spicy Chicken Wars II
  • We have more chickens to review as we try to see if anything can be better than the Popeye's sandwich.
• Spicy Chicken Wars III
  • Another batch of contenders for the crown, but can any of them really unseat the king?
• Wendy's Ghost Pepper Ranch Chicken Sandwich
  • Wendy's comes out swinging with a new, spicy sandwich to try and dominate the market. But can the previous queen reclaim her crown?

Meals

• Arby's Big Game Burger
  • Going head long into burgers, Arby's brings their play on the three-meat combo... but something is absolutely lacking.
• Arby's Hushpuppy Breaded Fish Strips
  • Arby's normally brings the meats, but this time they brought the fish and, frankly, they nailed it.
• Asian Quick Bowls
  • We review a selection of quick meal options from the Asian section of our local grocery store.
• IHOP's New Hand-Crafted Eggs Benedicts
  • IHOP tries to get into the Eggs Benedict game and, man, the results are absolutely less than edible.
• McDonald's Hacks
  • McDonald's officalizes its "Secret Menu" items, and we take a look at the good, bad, and the vile from their offerings.
• McDonald's "Improved" Burgers
  • McDonald's has updated the way they make their burgers, but the results frankly left me underwhelmed. It's a lot of hype for the same old burgers.
• McDonald's Cheesy Jalapeño Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese
  • McDonald's presents a variant to their famous Quarter Pounder that, despite the promise of its ingredients, fails to deliver the goods.
• Pizza Hut Big New Yorker
  • The Big New Yorker is back after over two decades and we try it out to see if it lives up to the hype.

Cereals

• Breakfast Cereal
  • We take a round-up of cereals found in our local grocer to see what weird madness kids are subjected to.
• Breakfast Cereal II
  • We review even more cereals are we slowly go insane from sugar.
• Breakfast Cereal III
  • We take another trip down the breakfast cereal aisle to find the sugar-coated oddities for our milk-laiden bowl.

Salty Snacks

• Salty Snack Roundup
  • We gather a selection of new, salty oddities to give our mouths some snacking pleasure.
• Herr's Jalapeño Poppers Cheese Curls
  • Herr's should be considered hte undisputed king of salty snacks, and these spicy little cheese curls prove exactly why.

Sour Snacks

• Sour Snack Roundup
  • We sample a selection of sour treats to see if we can actually find something that makes us feel the sour burn.
• Sour Snack Roundup II
  • Another collection of candies to pucker your mouth and make your tongue cry.
• Sour Snack Roundup III
  • We have another batch of sour candies, but this time they're filled with nothing by dissapointment.
• Sour Snack Mega Roundup
  • We dig through a massive bag of various sour candies to see what measures up and what isn't worth sampling.
• Sour Snack Roundup V
  • The sour candies keep on coming, and we keep on puckinger up, in this fifth edition of our series.
• Sour Snack Roundup VI
  • More sour oddities, this time found in the bargain area of a craft store... and I ate them.
• Sour Snack Roundup VII
  • Easter candies give us more sour snacks to attempt... and not all of them all that edible.
• Warheads Soda
  • Warheads brings us soda that promises a sour slap in the face, but can these cans od candy-colored sugar really deliver?

Sweet Treats

• Chocolate Treats
  • We take a look at three new varieties of classic candies to see if any of these deserve to stick around in the chocolate pantheon.
• Girl Scout Cookies
  • We bought a bunch of cookies and, once our sugar haze lifted and we woke up months later, we're now ready to discuss them.
• Charms Blow Pop Berries
  • Blow Pops are back and they have some new (and reissued) flavors. But are they any good?
• Skittles Gummies
  • Skittles tries its hand at true gummies (which isn't the weirdest idea), but the results are far from great.
