Never too grown up. I love my job because I get to try the things I know I’d be trying on my own anyway. $4 was not a bad price whatsoever, just mind the grease and you’re good. Read more

And we have a review of those too! I believe this is what you mean: https://thetakeout.com/pizza-cupcake-review-shark-tank-where-to-buy-walmart-1850261581 Read more

Reminds me I got all the way to the end of Fallout 4 and somehow lost the physical media for it. I was literally like at the way, way, end. My wife and I cannot for the lives of us figure out where the disc went; the case was empty and none of our other cases had it in there either.  Read more

I’ll raise my next ketchup sandwich to you! Read more

Honestly me and my wife haven’t found one we’ve been smitten with yet. I think the whole conceptual thing throws us off out the gate, you know? Read more

Thank you for letting us know! I love hearing insider-type stuff, that’s super cool. Read more

Don’t worry. I’m already on it. (First day back from vacation!) Read more

My wife’s hometown has a KwikTrip (I’m in LOVE with it, sorry wife), and I’ve been dying to try one. I’ll have to remember the Tuesday thing, and since the McRib’s in season, maybe I can do a side by side! Read more

I did too. What’s funny is here in Chicago, there’s a lauded chef named Andrew Zimmerman, who gets confused with Zimmern all the time (I believe they have a running gag with each other about it). Read more

I do believe it’d be a go-to, because I like the variety added. I like the QPC Deluxe the best (single not double), very infrequently a Big Mac (I just like the QPC beef better), occasionally a double cheeseburger or a Daily Double. Read more

You know, that is a really interesting thought. They already have such wide reach and people like coffee and cookies together, that seems like a no-brainer. Or maybe cookies are too low-end for them?! Read more

I’m intrigued! None by Chicago, I’m afraid, but if I do some traveling, I’m definitely checking it out. Read more

Thanks for the heads up. Grey digging is as big of a chore as you’d imagine. Read more

Haha I appreciate you keeping tabs on me! Just for that I measured my blood pressure for you--it’s in the healthy zone. Thanks for reading for so long and noticing just what I have to do for all of you.  Read more

Mentioned this to another commenter just now but I fixed it! That’s what I meant, I just don’t eat Moon Pies, mostly just Choco Pies, so I blanked out on the name, good catch. Read more

You are 100% correct. I don’t eat Moon Pies frequently and THAT was what I had in my head, not a Whoopie Pie! Apparently I glitched out (I’m a robot beep bopboopbop). Fixed!

Haha I was wondering if someone was going to notice this. So I’ve been trying to cut calories here and there (I try so much stuff for work, see above), and I asked myself if I can honestly taste the cheese in a Chipotle/Qdoba burrito or bowl, and I’m really not convinced I can! I f’n love cheese, I eat it almost every Read more

So I think one of the main things that makes their McMuffins really good is that cheese. If you try a bit by itself, it’s intensely sharp (possibly the sausage too, but I rarely buy breakfast sausage so it’s hard to know). Finding extra sharp American cheese at the store is a little hard but if I do find it, I’ll see Read more
