Did you want your fries to be warm?

My wife and I received free tickets to a concert a few weeks back, so we got a babysitter and went out on a nice little date.  We weren’t hungry, but thought a stop at Steak ‘n Shake might be fun.
We ordered a couple shakes, a coke, and an order of cheese fries to split.  [...]

Pizza Hut: When promoting a new product, try to keep it in stock

A few months ago, Pizza Hut introduced their “chocolate dunkers”, a new dessert.  We got them, and they’re great!  In fact, we’ve had them a few times over the past couple weeks.

Of course, it’s not always perfect.  Check out the photo on the right of pizza they delivered last weekend.
I’m usually good about checking the pizzas [...]

Yes, the Nibblers ARE as good as advertised

Zaxby’s has been really trying to pimp out their “nibblers”, little chicken strip sandwiches.  It’s not a bad deal — three nibblers, fries and a drink for a little under $6.
Here’s the thing.  They’re good.  Really good.  I’ve never been a fan of Zax sauce, but it really works with these.
The downside is that they’re [...]
