MorningStar Farms Chipotle Black Bean Burger

When we were at Costco, my boyfriend took a box of the frozen Morning Star Chipotle Black Bean Burgers from the freezer, and a guy behind us blurted out, "Those are really good - I buy them every time I come here!" Suspiciously, we did not see any in his cart, and he didn't stop to get any burgers. Nevertheless, his enthusiasm sold us on buying them.

I tried the veggie burger patty by itself, and it didn't really taste that great to me. It was a little bit spicy, which was fine, but I didn't like the sour chipotle taste with the texture of the beans at all. It tasted kind of gross. My boyfriend thought that it was OK, but I don't think I will have these again.

REVIEW – F’real Vanilla Milkshake

Freal Vanilla Milkshake from QT

I tried a F'real Vanilla Milkshake from a QuikTrip convenience store and mixed it on the 'regular' thickness setting.

The vanilla taste of the milkshake was pretty good, and it wasn't overly sweet or overly vanilla-y. The milkshake seemed to be melting quickly, so I might try it on a thicker setting next time I have it. Overall, it basically tasted kind of like a soft serve ice cream that had been blended into a milkshake.

I wasn't able to finish my milkshake so I put it in the freezer. When I ate it later, I ate it as ice cream, and it still tasted pretty good.

REVIEW – Panda Super Buffet: Asian Buffet (Tucson, AZ)

Panda Super Buffet plate

We tried the Asian buffet at Panda Super Buffet in Tucson, AZ.

At first glance, the food looked very greasy, and there were mussels and salmon with orange cheese slabs melted over them (which I did not try due to how disgusting they looked). Some of the chicken that I had was cold, while other pieces of the same chicken were warm. The mongolian beef was dry and the texture of the sushi rice was mush. The string beans I had were limp, and many still had their stems. The spring roll I had was very mushy on the inside. The potsticker I had was also very mushy, and it fell apart as soon as I put my fork in it. The only dishes that seemed to be OK were the lo mein and mei fun noodles.

Overall, this buffet was not very good at all.

Update: Not surprisingly, this restaurant is now closed...
