    I tried Wendy’s new Meal of Misfortune, part of their collaboration with Netflix’s Wednesday. Overall, the branding is strong, the presentation is fun, and it adds a bit of variety to the usual menu. Raven’s Blood Frosty The highlight for me was the Raven’s Blood Frosty. It’s fruity, but hard to pin down to a…

  • Cousin Basils – Sigel, PA

    Cousin Basils – Sigel, PA

    Score: 6.5 Cousin Basils isn’t a dedicated pizzeria. It’s a family-style restaurant that happens to serve pizza. And while pizza isn’t their specialty, they still put out a solid product. I ordered a pepperoni pizza to go, and it was warm, fresh, and hit the spot, especially since it was the only place open when…

    Bacon Patty Melt Review – Buffalo Wild Wings

    Rating: 4.3 When you think Buffalo Wild Wings, you probably picture crispy chicken wings, not burgers. That’s why I approached the Bacon Patty Melt with managed expectations, and it delivered just about what I expected: slightly below average but acceptable for a chain wing joint. The Highlights: However, there was a strange caramelized taste that…
