[Food Review] Subway’s Buffalo Chicken Fiery Footlong

Here’s a portion of a review on Does It Hit The Spot:

First I want to complain about the guy who made my sandwich. His name was Tony. Tony was new. Tony was very nice. Way too nice. Tony was so nice, he was completely obnoxious. Everything Tony said made me want to punch him in the balls with a knife. Tony had a loose bandage on the back of his neck, one that swayed and flapped in the breeze of the building’s air conditioning unit, spreading a wave of HIV with every flutter. At least Tony smiled, but Tony also had a habit of spitting when he attempted to pronounce certain words. Words like sorry, spit, and sandwich. I forgive you, Tony, for spitting on my sandwich.

Anyway, I got my Buffalo Chicken with Italian Herbs and Cheese bread, provolone cheese, heated instead of toasted, and topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onions, and ranch dressing. As is usually the case, the toppings were all fresh, the lettuce and cucumber were crispy, and the onions were crunchy.

[Food Review] Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Caramel

Here’s a portion of a DoesItHitTheSpot.com review:

The problems started right off the bat for me, as there is an unpleasant, soggy quality to both the taste and texture of the bar. The result is a creation that, quite frankly, doesn’t taste good. It’s almost like something you picked up out of a swimming pool. Not quite that bad, mind you, but much closer than I would have hoped for.

Also, the aftertaste is much too strong. Granted I didn’t care for it the first go around, but a nearby beverage is an absolute must if you are going to attempt to eat this thing, because you will be tasting it hard for a long time after you’ve finished.

Lastly, it made my mouth very phlegmy. Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Caramel gave me unfortunate flashbacks to the gross soups my mom used to force-feed me when I was battling strep throat as a kid. It didn’t make me feel sick, but there is an odd sort of illness recreation quality to the bar which is just another reason not to buy it.

[Food Review] Ben and Jerry’s Boston Cream Pie Ice Cream

Here’s a portion of David Roshinski’s review on Does It Hit The Spot:

Nothing is more iconic of a dessert in Massachusetts than the Boston cream pie. What is it exactly? Well, it’s an absolutely delicious pastry cream sandwiched between two light yellow cake halves with a chocolate icing spilled over it. The Boston cream pie was originally conceived at the Boston Parker House Hotel in Boston by French chef, M. Sanzian.

The packaging proudly states “Vermont’s finest” and has a picture of the dessert, a speech bubble to the home team, and the Paul Revere Statue. Each serving is one half cup, which is the standard serving size for ice cream. It contains 250 calories, 13 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 29 grams of carbohydrates, and 26 grams of sugar. Which is just a bit more than one slice of the actual dessert. But you don’t care about that. Even if you did, your figure has nothing to do with why you’re eating this ice cream, does it?

[Food Review] Sunchips (Monterey Jack and Sundried Tomato)

Here’s a portion of David Roshinski’s review on DoesItHitTheSpot.com

It is a chip made from the sun! Ok, no it isn’t, but Sun Chips have been around for a while, and are know as a healthier alternative to the traditional potato chip.

The company, which is under the portfolio of Frito-Lay Inc. in Texas, has teamed up with the sub giant, Subway, to produce an exclusive flavor for all the shops. This is going along side the Subway Fiery Foot Long promotion and all the chip bags contain a game code for it. I recently purchased these to add to the free sub I earned with my Subway points.

The claims on the package are that the chips have a great multigrain taste. I had to agree, the multigrain gives a nutty flavor that is almost as pleasant as the texture it gives. The next claim is each 1 oz. serving has 18g of whole grains which have been known as part of a healthy diet to reduce the risk of heart disease.

[Food Review] Logan’s Rib-Eye

Here’s a portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review:

Last night my family and I went out for dinner to Logan’s Rib-Eye, one of the many steakhouses in the Terre Haute area. You see, here in Terre Haute, people don’t take kindly to many types of restaurants. It seems the only ones the majority of the the population will give their business to are steakhouses, Mexican, BBQ, Chinese buffets and any type of fast food. Except Hardee’s. Hauters don’t like Hardee’s. There’s also an Indian place, but the only people who eat there are other Indian people.

Listening to me complain about the monotony that results from eating out in my city, you’d think I’ve eaten at every establishment multiple times and have grown weary of dining at all local restaurants. The truth is I’ve not even tried half the places at my disposal, Logan’s being one of them.

Was it any good? Let’s just say I’ll be going back.

[Food Review] The Alamo

Here’s a portion of a review on Does It Hit The Spot.

A while back I reviewed Kringle’s Kafe’, one of the most likely lunch spots during a visit to Holiday World for many consumers. I was less than impressed with the quality, price, and the way the food sat on my stomach. Now I’m back with a review for one of the more popular dinner spots at the park, The Alamo.

Located at the heart of 4th of July, The Alamo is surrounded by rides like the Liberty Launch and the Lewis & Clark Trail, an attraction that sees visitors driving extremely slow go carts modeled after old cars around a set track. Lewis and Clark didn’t have cars. This has nothing to do with the restaurant at hand, but this just infuriates me. What the hell, Holiday World? Go to school. They teach you that shit.

[Food Review] Velveeta Shells and Cheese

A portion of Trey Bolinger’s review on DIHTS:

Today I sampled it for the first time, and for a quick snack to hold me over ’til dinner time, hands down was a lot better than the Easy Mac. When you first peel off the lid of the packaging, you see a packet and the noodles, pre-mixed with a powdery looking substance. Inside the packet though, instead of powdered cheese flavored stuff, is real Velveeta cheese. Not powder either. Just real, gooey, delicious Velveeta. What’s nice about this is instead of ending up with a powdery, slushy mess in the container, you mix it all together for a thorough and consistent creamy texture.

[Food Review] Ore-Ida Zesties!

Here’s a portion of a Does It Hit The Spot review:

If I had to make a list of only three things in the world that I love, it would be something like Nintendo, zombies and french fries. In that exact order. Trivial? If you think so then you are extremely shallow. Nintendo is the company responsible for the greatest video games on the face of this earth. Zombies eat human beings because they are driven by instinct to do so, and it’s entirely ok to blow their brains into oblivion. French fries? I shouldn’t even need to explain myself.

Ore-Ida has been a top player in the competitive world of frozen spud sticks for quite some time now, and one of their more popular inventions are the Zesties. These fries come preseasoned in the bag so that you don’t have to worry about performing tasks as strenuous as pouring Lawry’s salt on your freshly oven-baked side. You’ve already wasted enough energy opening the bag! And that’s not counting the process of preparing whatever brand of frozen, partially cooked, microwavable chicken patty you plan on enjoying them with.

[Food Review] Raybern’s Deli Style Philly CheeseSteak

Over the winter time my pops and I went to Sam’s Club to stock up on freezer foods for whole sale prices. We try to keep a variety of grub in the icebox and try to keep an open selection so that nothing ever gets old. We stumbled upon these Philly Steak and Cheese sandwiches in the freezer foods section, specifically called “Raybern’s New York Deli Style Philly CheeseSteak.” Later into the night after coming home and hunger struck me, I decided to heat up one of these bad boys to see what they were like.

What’s really neat is that they’re wrapped up in paper, just like if you were buying it from a street vendor somewhere. You don’t have to unwrap it or anything, you just throw it in the microwave, heat it up for anywhere from 60 seconds to 75 seconds (depending on the wattage of your microwave) and you have a perfect-looking sandwich, melted cheese with the warm sliced steak, and the warm bread. When you bite into it, you have the authentic Philly Cheese Steak taste, and the nice thing about it is, you can make them whenever you want — because they’re in your freezer.

[Restaurant Review] Kringle’s Kafe’

If you were to guess what type of eatery Kringle’s was, chances are you’d assume they offered some type of seasonal meal options like honey ham, yams, green beans, fruit cake, and maybe even some type of pie. I mean, what else would you expect from a restaurant with such a vibrant Christmas theme?

Once you’re inside the illusion of a jolly winter holiday theme is pumped to the max, with seasonal decorations and paintings all over the place. There is even a giant tyrannical statue of Santa Claus himself, watching out over the dining room making sure all of the kids on his turf are behaving themselves, menacingly silent but always ready to pounce on his first unsuspecting victim.
