I’m a big fan of appetizers – sometimes, I’ll even order one as my “meal” if my kids don’t eat it all before their food arrives. Samplers are excellent choices for families or groups because they offer a little bit of everything, and everyone at the table can generally find […]

Cheesecake Factory’s Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake Review
With 33 flavors on Cheesecake Factory’s menu, how does the Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake stack up? If you ask almost anyone who’s tried it, they’ll probably tell you it’s the best cheesecake, hands down. And judging from the response it’s received in the last decade or so, that sounds […]
Cheesecake Factory’s Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp Review
Jamaican food is a mix of sweet, savory, and spicy. Rice, beans, and seafood dishes are just a small part of the rainbow of flavors popular in Jamaica and around the Caribbean, where the ingredients are fresh and often locally sourced. Cheesecake Factory has a stellar menu with as many […]
Dairy Queen Chili Cheese Dogs Review
There’s a story about how Art Elkind, a chemical engineer, sold hot dogs when unable to find work during the Great Depression. So he started selling hot dogs and chili from a pushcart until someone suggested he combine the two. And just like that, the Chili Dog was invented. Of […]
Dairy Queen Blizzard Review
Dairy Queen is famous for its Blizzards, and it’s not hard to understand why. The soft-serve ice cream texture is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and with all the candy add-ins, you can create your dream dessert on the go. I enjoy a nice chilled Blizzard with a side of fries during a […]
Burger King Chicken Nuggets Review
Chicken nuggets are a staple item for most fast-food restaurants, so how does Burger King stay ahead of the game- or at least on par with its competitors? Occasionally, the franchise changes its recipe – I’ve noticed a change in shape, size, and flavor over the years. But now BK […]
Taco Bell Baja Blast Freeze Review
Freezes are frozen slushies made with various sodas available at Taco Bell. Through the years, there have been many flavors – the “Kickstart” Freezes were developed as breakfast-themed or late-night-themed drinks; the “Game Fuel” Freezes tie in with video game releases and promotions; international flavors are region-specific; and there is […]
Taco Bell Steak Quesadilla Review
Taco Bell’s menu seems to always improve, minus the time they discontinued my favorite 7 Layer Burrito. By mixing the same base ingredients into different combinations, and giving them a Tex Mex twist, they’ve remained at the top of the fast-food game. The franchise offers three types of quesadillas, but […]
Sonic Slushes Review
We all know Sonic boasts more than 1,063,953 drink combinations between their fountain drinks and slush flavors. But that’s far too many to sample in a lifetime, so for the sake of this post, we’ll just mention that there are 21 basic Sonic Slush flavors (could vary by location) that […]
Longhorn Steakhouse Mac and Cheese Review
Mac and Cheese is a pretty simple recipe that most of us have only enjoyed from a packaged box. Not that I’m complaining- I grew up eating mac n’ cheese every hot summer day between swimming in the pool and sucking on artificially-flavored popsicles, and now I’m a perfectly healthy, […]
Texas Roadhouse Cactus Blossom Review
Sometimes it’s nice to break from the norm and do something a little crazy. You know- like ordering a wacky appetizer or side dish instead of French fries or veggies, and dipping it in a tangy-spicy sauce. Go a little further by ordering your crazy appetizer at a restaurant that […]
Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew Review
What’s the difference between Dunkin’ Cold Brew and an iced coffee? Are they that different? And why would I choose one over the other? Iced Coffee is strongly-brewed coffee poured over ice. Cold Brew Coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for 12-24 hours […]
