It's been a while since my last Friday Fast Food Fishtacular, mainly because I've exhausted all the fast-food fish sandwich offerings in the tri-county area. In fact, I was considering a series of critiques on fish tacos/fish burritos, but that could escalate into shrimp po'boys or tuna melts. No, fish sandwiches are my jam. Last... Continue Reading →
Variety is the Pumpkin Spice of Life
Note from Darlene: A trip to any big box retailer isn't complete without stopping by the chip/candy/cookie aisle. The choices of overwhelming. Here's Paul's take on the trend. I have a pretty good memory when it comes to random consumerism, especially from my youth. I can still recite commercial jingles long-since mothballed and recall packaging and... Continue Reading →
A Welcome Addition: Firehouse Subs
A note from Darlene: Paul loves subs. His favorite sub place is Nevada-based Port of Subs. This is his post on Firehouse Subs. If there's one thing San Diego isn't lacking, it's sandwich chains. We have more than enough mom & pop taco shops, too... but you can't swing a dead cat fish burrito without hitting... Continue Reading →
Los Angeles Soda Heaven: Galco’s Soda Pop Stop
A note from Darlene: Some women marry men who love beer. I married one who loves soda pop. Instead of doing a write-up on fast food, I had Paul write about Galco's. Galco's Soda Pop Stop in Highland Park was one of my first "foodie" destinations. I can't quite recall what led Darlene and me there... Continue Reading →
RakiRaki Ramen and Tsukemen: Introducing Their Ramen Burger
A note from Darlene: Every once in a while, I like having Paul write a review for me. This time instead of doing a write-up on fast food, I had him write about his experience with a ramen burger. He had no idea what it was and that people in NYC waited in line for... Continue Reading →
Maine attraction— Lobster West in Encinitas
A note from Darlene: Every once in a while, I like having Paul write a review for me. This time instead of doing a write-up on fast food, I had him write about one of his favorite foods: lobster. One of the downsides to San Diego is the geographic location — Maine is farther away... Continue Reading →
Jack in the Box: Big Waffle Stack
A note from Darlene: Every once in a while, I like having Paul write a review for me. I don’t encourage him to eat fast food but sometimes it’s one less post for me to write. Go Big Or Go Hungry is Jack in the Box's rallying cry for its new large-size burgers and sandwiches,... Continue Reading →
Cryptofoodology: Taco Bell’s Smothered Burrito
A note from Darlene: Every once in a while, I like having Paul write a review for me. I don't encourage him to eat fast food but sometimes it's one less post for me to write. I'm one of those guys who didn't believe there was such a thing as a "wet burrito." Opposed to... Continue Reading →
Friday Fast-Food Fishtacular — McDonald’s “Big Filet-O-Fish” Hack Job
The Easter season is coming to a close, and many fast food establishments will start to take their seasonal fish sandwiches off their menus. But you can always count on a few restaurants — McDonald's in particular — to always have a fish option on their permanent menu. I've avoided giving a review of the... Continue Reading →
Friday’s Fast-Food Fishtacular! – Jack in the Box NEW Fish Sandwich
The last time I had a Jack in the Box fish sandwich was for this blog. I thought it was average and unmemorable so I never went back. Sitting at a red light I spied a Jack in the Box window poster touting a "new" fish sandwich. I decided to pay another visit. After all,... Continue Reading →
