I loved the eggrolls last visit at Yak & Yeti sit down.
So I figured they must be the same at the counter location.
Not quit, close but no cigar. The first visit in the week was close.
My wife liked them. Last time she didn't get to
try them because she was a vegetarian (HA HA).
At least since then, she came to her senses and returned
to the meat-side.
Once again later in the week we had them, and the second time
they weren't freshly cooked as the first time and were not as good.

At least AK has some unique quick serve spots.
Got a hankering for some eggrolls, ask for fresh one.
Tell them Jay said so.

Glad you like the reviews. The cupcake was awesome.
I always like to come up with something
unique for my reviews. I never seen anyone else do video before,
so I figured it was different and cool. Plus now it's like you were there
adding to the visual pictorial tour, your more involved.
Still more to come....

POLLO CAMPERO

We were really looking forward to trying Pollo after reading and
seeing so much about it. The fried chicken smelled and looked good,
so we knew what we were going to get. WRONG. The chicken was sitting
around to long and was not juicy, the breading was tasty. I could
only imagine how it WOULD have been if it was fresh.

The chips sucked Remy butt. Not salted and not fresh. The salsa bar was
good, but with out good chips whats the point.

The Spanish rice was gummy and cold.

I had a coupon for a free desert (signed up on their site),
so we tried the milk cake.
It was mildly OK. I wasn't really fond of the overly wet bottom (I said wet bottom )
I know it's supposed to be wet, but I have had better.
My wife hated it. She doesn't like anything wet thats not supposed to be normally.
Weird, but I love her anyway.
Never seen it busy here, hope it makes it though. Still a better
sight to see than Mcdonalds. Maybe it will get better?

 

[toyman70]

Off to work again. I don't get it. Work seems to come daily?
Must help people lose weight and get in shape, if only they knew.
More later but only if you ALL get along and behave.

yourself something nice.

I'm loving your reviews. I even bookmarked your blog.

The only weird thing is Chevy's. I can't believe you guys didn't like it. I find it interesting that you thought it was frozen type. Because Chevy's is known for Fresh Mex which means they make everything homemade. Nothing from a can... So, I'm surprised it wasn't tasty for you. Maybe it was day old food. I'm bummed you didn't like it. We like it out here but I have to say it isn't authenic because they don't use lard. They try to make everything healthy. LOL... I even have their cookbook and make their fajitas at home all the time.

 

[Shleedogg]

You had me at "giggity."

Lovin' the reviews and I have to admit I'm a little jealous of your wife. I'm an eater and avid food lover. Somehow I married someone who simply thinks of food as fuel . The second HOB review had me drooling. Keep 'em coming. Giggety giggety giggety goo!

Hope your enjoying my local food blog as well.
Chevy's is really not good compared to anything authentic.
Like I said before it's like olive garden is to italian & red lobster is to seafood.
As long as you like it I will look the other way. I do love
chipotle and thats a chain. But man is it good. VIVA la burrito bowls.

Thanks. Glad to hear you like my stuff. Sorry about your
husband, maybe he needs a lesson in grub. You might want to
wipe your drool off with some HOB corn bread.

Definitely agree not authentic at all. I don't eat at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Outback, AppleBees, Lyons, Dennys, etc... The only 2 chains I can tolerate are Chevys and Chili's. I think these two are my favorite. LOL..

I do however love Chipotle. In fact we had dinner there last night.

We don't have any of the places you stopped at earlier in your trip. We have Hardee's but it is called Carl's Junior here. I'd love to go to the South to sample real Southern food.

Honestly, the best food around here is my home cooking.

I think this is our visit to a once great quick eat stop.
I really use to love it here, the fries were awesome and it overall
seemed MUCH better. Why did you go and change your fries, why?
Cookes you let me down, and for that
I must bid you a fond farewell. Watch my video for the details...

Please bow your heads and give a moment of silence. (taps music playing)

More in the morning. A BIG earl of sandwich pictorial and misc.
snacks still to come.....

"The chips sucked Remy's butt"...ok, I am laughing

Enjoying your reviews immensely!

I never thought of tasting Remy's butt, I might be very yummy.
Hold on a sec..........

Nope it doesn't. Kinda taste like dirty cheese.
Glad my reviews are to your liking. All you care to enjoy!

EARL OF SANDWICH


Tomato soup with croûtons & potato salad



















BREAKFAST at EARLS





As you can tell we REALLY love Earls. We ate here four times during
the week. We tried the breakfast and it was OK, not anything
special. The sandwiches are awesome. Loved the salad. You
really can't tell by the picture but it was very big. Enough for two.
All the soups we had were also awesome. The only problem was the
lines, we thought early in the week it was bad. HA. We came
by in the middle of the day and I'm not kidding there was at least 90-120
people in front of us. But the line zips. It only took 25 minutes. Crazy.
I really don't get how they move so fast. I chatted briefly with the
manager and he told me this location does 12MILLION a year off
$6 sandwiches.

WOW. Now I understand why it's so busy. It's
truly a bargain in a bargain-less place.
I also found out there is a Earls in Philly, BUT it's in the airport
and I'm not buying a ticket just to eat there, WHY ME
