Review: El Pollo Loco - Chicken Avocado Burrito

El Pollo Loco's Chicken Avocado Burrito is a limited-time item they're sporting for the summer because avocados abound around this time of year. Each burrito is filled with pieces of flame-grilled chicken, fresh-sliced avocado, cabbage, pinto beans, and creamy cilantro dressing plus diced cilantro thrown in for good measure.

It cost me $5.29 for the burrito.

Review: Mauna Loa - Kona Coffee Glazed Macadamias

Mauna Loa's Kona Coffee Glazed Macadamia Nuts feature two of Hawaii's signature foodstuffs in Kona coffee and macadamia nuts. They're also two of the most expensive foods to come out of Hawaii.

I don't know how much this costs, my brother brought back a variety back from Hawaii and I'm slowly making my way through them. Here on the mainland a similar 4.5-ounce can sells for around $5.

Neat! Guerrero Fresh Hot Tortillas Display

I saw one of these at one of my local small chain supermarkets. It's a warm tortilla display! Promising fresh hot tortillas, the inside is a combination warmer/humidifer to keep the tortillas at just the right temperature.

Lean Cuisine's Baja-Style Chicken Quesadilla is a simple frozen meal of grilled chicken strips, black beans, corn and reduced fat mozzarella cheese in a flour tortilla.

Review: Burger King - Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich

Burger King's Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich features tender pulled pork mixed with BK's Memphis BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet ‘n Spicy BBQ sauce), topped simply with sliced onions and something they're calling a Sweet Southern dressing. It's served on the same artisan bun they used for the BK Chef's Choice Burger.

I picked one up at my local Burger King for $3.49.

New Fast Food Reference Page

Hey guys, I just put up a new Fast Food Reference Page that might be useful to you if you don't want to have to sift through each brand's website to get the information you want. There's a link on the menu bar at the top of the site next to the "Current Menu Promotions."

I've included links to their online menus, nutritional information, store locators, and customer service (in case they screw up your order or what not).

Please check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks!

News: Chick-fil-A - 2012 Cow Appreciation Day on July 13!

The cows at Chick-fil-A celebrate "Eat Mor Chikin" (and obviously less cow) with the 8th Annual Cow Appreciation Day on Friday, July 13.

What does that mean for you? Free food! But only if you dress up as a cow. Or at least partially like a cow...
