TGI Friday's Frozen Sliders BBQ

TGI Friday's Frozen Sliders with Sweet and Smoky BBQ sauce was very tasty.  This frozen item only needs 50 seconds in microwave to be ready to eat.  The frozen sauce packet needs to be thawed out in warm water for 6 mins.  I was surprised that the bun was not damp and soggy.  The cheese for the most part stayed with its consistency.  The sauce was great and added flavor to an already good tasting burger.  These are a BUY.

Subway Bacon Egg and Cheese Flatbread

I got Subway's Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a 6" flat bread.  I should have got something on this but did not know what to add to it.  So I just got it plain.  I think some southwest sauce would have tasted good on this.  But this came with a pre-cooked egg, cheese, and two strips of bacon.  I also got this toasted, which melted the cheese and warmed the bacon and egg.  This was a promotion for just $3.  The egg felt like an egg but had a strange taste to it that I could not pick out.  The bacon was good and went well with the cheese.  This was a tasty meal.  I give this a BUY.

Marie Callender's Macaroni and Cheese

Marie Callender's Mac and Cheese was very good.  This is a great deal.  For just $3, a large serving of macaroni and cheese that was delicious.  The sauce was great and the pasta was soft.  Easy to cook, just heat up in the microwave and enjoy.  This is a BUY.

Burger King Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap

The Caesar Salad Wrap with Grilled Chicken from Burger King is a good sized wrap.  Comes with chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and tomato (removed) wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla.  I was surprised by the lettuce's freshness, it was very good tasting.  The chicken was well cooked and tender.  Even though this was a large wrap, it was not filling.  I would get the regular salad option instead of the wrap.  This is a DON'T BUY.

Subway Tuna on Intalian Herb and Cheese Bread

I got Subway's 6 inch Tuna on Italian Herb and Cheese bread with white American cheese, lettuce, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, mayo, mustard, and sweet onion.  This might of bee a bit too much flavors going on at once, but it still tasted good.  I wish they gave you a bit more tuna for this sub.  This did cost $5.75 just for the sub.  The lettuce was crispy and the tuna was really good.  The sweet onion was the most dominant taste of the condiments.  The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.  I give this a BUY.

Moe's Jelly Bag of Donuts is a really big, really good burrito.  Its all about options and what you would like to have at Moe's.  Chicken, steak, ground beef, or tofu options for the meat on a wheat or flour tortilla, and 20 or more options for the toppings.  This was very filling and tasty.  I got the steak with black beans, lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, rice, and hot sauce.  The streak was already chopped so it was easy to eat. It was cooked well and tasted great.  The lettuce was crisp, the rice was seasoned and mixed well with the meat.  The black beans were flavored well and did not come with a lot of juice on them.   I was surprised by the hot sauce, it was really hot.  I think that it was because I was holding the burrito up the entire time that it all went down to the bottom, as that was where I tasted it.  Comes with a couple scoops of warm tortilla chips that are already salted and taste great.  This burrito cost me $7.32 with tax and everything.  So its not a deal by any means, but is priced right and backs up the high cost by the size and taste.  This is a BUY.

Burger King Pina Colada Smoothie

This was a well blended smoothie.  Mixed with pineapples, coconuts, yogurt, and ice the Pina Colada tasted great.  My gripe is little with this, but the price of $2.50 for a 12 ounce small?    Others charge less for much more, but I'm okay with giving this a BUY,  because it did have a great taste and was refreshing.  Its a great start for an adult beverage.

Burger King's Chipotle Whopper

The New Chipotle Whopper from Burger King is a DON'T BUY.  Comes with pepper jack cheese, spicy mayo, caramelized onions, 2 strips of bacon, a tomato (removed) and a patty on the sesame seed bun.   The patty is really thin, the bacon was too crunchy, the onions were very hard and did not taste well, and the spicy mayo sauce was just awkward tasting.  Also the price of this was really high, $4.80 just for the sandwich.

Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup

Campbell's Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup comes with chopped carrots, celery, and white chicken chunks in chicken stock.  I found this soup to be a little bit too bland tasting.  The broth was too watery.  The chicken was meaty, but did not have much flavor to it.  The noodles were a bit too firm.  This soup was pricey at $4 and did not deliver much for backing it up.  It did come with a lot of soup, over a pound, but its not good soup.  I give Chunky Chicken Noodle a DON'T BUY.

Sonic's Strawberry Milkshake

Sonic's strawberry milkshake is made with real strawberries, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.  This was the medium sized which cost $2.79.  The cherry was an average tasting cherry.  The whipped cream was great.  Was thick and sweet and went well with the milkshake.  The milkshake itself was very tasty.  The bits of strawberries were good and I found bigger chunks toward the bottom.  This milkshake was delicious and is a BUY.
