When we were at Costco, we saw the frozen Korean (inspired) BBQ (recipe) chicken and decided to try some. The box came with 2 bags of the chicken and 2 bags of the BBQ sauce.

This is how trying the chicken played out:

First bite: "This doesn't taste Korean, tastes more like generic American Asian. The chicken texture also feels kind of like... shrimp?"

Next couple of bites: "This isn't very spicy, but it tastes all right."

Final bites: "It's a little spicier with more of the sauce... but it is way too sweet... I'm not going to get this again."

So it basically just tastes like other microwavable Asian foods that are too sweet, and the taste gets tiring after a few bite.. and I won't be buying these again.

REVIEW – Pierre Signatures Grilled Chicken Sandwich from Costco (Frozen)

The frozen Pierre Signatures chicken sandwich was a little sweet and seemed like it was sweetened with teriyaki or something. The chicken patty was a little spongy and didn't really feel like chicken.

It ended up being a little sweet for me, which was a little disappointing since the box just states "Flame-broiled Chicken Breast Patty on a Sesame Seed Bun" and didn't have anything on the front that indicated it's a sweet sandwich. It seems like a lot of times when I get chicken things, they end up being sweeter than expected. So, I would have preferred a more savory chicken sandwich, but it was OK.

However, my boyfriend really likes these sandwiches.... especially with an added slice of black forest ham and exactly three Mt. Olive sweet bread and butter pickles on them.

REVIEW – Freddy’s: Double Steakburger with Cheese & Fries

Freddy's Steakburger
Freddy's Steakburger French Fries

Since Freddy's Steakburgers just opened near where I live a few months ago, I decided to go ahead and try it. I ordered a #1 combo meal with cheese, which was the Freddy's Original Double with fries & a drink (Pepsi).

I ordered the burger with no mustard, so it came with just cheese, onion, and pickle. The burger was pretty good. The meat was thin and crispy on the edges. The edges had a sort of salty & burnt taste, but not in a bad way. The pickles were a little bit too salty for me, so I ended up taking one off. Once there was less pickle on the burger, it tasted delicious and not overly salty at all.

The bun was good and wasn't too soggy or crispy. According to Freddy's website, their buns are butter-toasted.

The Freddy's french fries came in a nice cup, which was overflowing with the fries. The fries very thin and crispy and not too salty, and they tasted pretty good.

Overall, both the burger and french fries were delicious. However, I still prefer the taste of a Five Guys burger and In-N-Out french fries to Freddy's.
