I like Tazino’s non-traditional pizzas better than their straight-forward stuff like sausage and mushroom. The Tailgater (bratwurst) pizza is really good, as is the BBQ chicken and chicken bacon ranch.
Ya know, I was sad I didn’t get to try the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger. I didn’t even think to just make it myself! Good call and I think I might have to give it a try!
I tried the burger at the fair and it was good. However, the meat tasted more like a breakfast sausage (it was a bit sweeter than a cheeseburger patty). So I think the name was a bit misleading, but the product was still delicious.
nick u made that wrong u gotta flip the doughnut inside out so the icing melts into the burger. trust me on this one make it like that and add some bacon it will blow ur mind. if theres one thing i know its food i still eat out 2 times every single day.
You should also toast the doughnut, I just put it in a hot pan with the inside down until it’s golden brown, and I only use Krispy Kreme doughnuts, they seem to come out better.
I notice that your final photo – the one taken after you’d already eaten half the burger – is shaky. Is this because you were on the brink of a diabetic coma?
Awesome burger, Nick! We ate at a FiveGuys burger place in Georgia. It wasn’t nearly as big, but included lots of toppings and was very tasty. We ordered a regular size fries. I don’t know if it was a mistake or if they typically WAY overfill the fry container, but our bag was practically filled with fries when I opened it. Easily 2-3 times what would fit in the container.
I love Five Guys. We have a couple locations here in Milwaukee now. That pretty much always happens with the fries. I’ll order a small order and they still usually completely fill the bag with them.
Nick, you are sooo funny!! Alvin and I really enjoyed your video. Oh, and we’d each like 5 chicken cordon blue’s and 5 beef burgundy’s at the wedding, OK? That seems like a reasonable serving…
I would like to note that Nick usually drinks a TON more while he’s eating… bite, sip, bite, sip, bite, sip… I’ve seen it! Imagine that in full quanitity…
Nice work to all involved!
PS – Nick, glad you got your daily value of iron in – gotta watch out for that anemia! ha
Ha! 19 bites. That is a 1.9 bites per patty. No way I could eat even a little McD’s burger in less than 2 bites. Hats off to you!! And better start working out, or it’ll be belt buckles off to you too! 🙂
Never heard of Dino’s. I think the best in town is probably Jake’s Deli on North Ave, followed by the Rochester Deli in Waukesha. Benji’s is pretty good too and I have heard people rave about McBob’s but haven’t tried it myself.
Yeah, it’s just in a little strip mall on 60th and Silver Spring, so it’s not in the best neighborhood. McBob’s is great. It’s pretty close to where I live so I get reuben sandwiches from there about once a month.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood let me know and We’ll go eat there!
this is the best taco i’ve ever had in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you have never tasted a piece of Gods work, then you need to buy this wonderful, phenomenal, miraculous taco.
Wow. The Turmeaken makes our forays into the Double Meat sandwich at Nerd Lunch seem tame by comparison.
How did the turkey hold up in all this? It seems like it could easily get overpowered by the meatball marinara sauce and everything else going on in that stack.
Glad you finally got a chance to get to Chili Lili’s. However, I’m surprised that this wasn’t about the chili parfait. Maybe you missed it on the menu, but it’s 3 pounds of chili, and pound of cheese, and some other fixings. Eat it all by yourself in 50 minutes or less and it’s free. Now that’s Dude Food!
I did see that and a couple people have told me about it, but since I’m not usually a chili fan I wanted to just give Chili Lili’s a try first. Also, I’m all about eating challenges, but I’m not sure how my body would react to that much chili and cheese.As far as I know no one has finished it in under 50 minutes yet.
I used to hate beans in chili but I came around and now I love beans in all forms. Started off with black beans and black bean dip and worked my way up to others. Still think most baked bean dishes are disgusting though. Don’t like the sweet sauce.
Just thought of something based on your egg comments. I too love eggs on burgers. So I was thinking what if you took White Castles (either from the restaurant, frozen, or the DIY method) and added fried quail eggs to them. So you are getting the awesomeness of White Castle with a nice little egg on top. The new Asian Market on 27th and Grange sells quail eggs for pretty cheap. I might need to try it. Might even top my Ramp Castle. http://eatwisconsin.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/ramp-castle/
“The only downfall of the Walking Taco Supreme? By the time you actually eat your way all the way to the bottom of the bag the Fritos are pretty soggy”
…and by this point you’ve walked to another state.
pretty good though! what a mass of food. i love walking tacos.
This reminds me of something I’ve made a few times that I love.
It’s a store-bought pizza crust, with sauce spread over it (BBQ, marinara or whatever you prefer) and leftover homemade mac ‘n cheese crumbled on top. A little extra shredded cheese and some time in the oven and you have awesome mac ‘n pizza.
Yeah, I can’t believe I never tried it before. It seems like it should be more popular in Wisconsin since it consists of fries covered in cheese curds, but I don’t even remember ever seeing it anywhere in Wisconsin.
I was originally planning on using ground beef, but I had some ground turkey in the freezer that had been in there for a while so I figured that I should get rid of it.
I should give it a try. For some reason I’m terrible at making omelets though. I always try to flip the one half over too early and then the eggs always just run all over the rest of the pan.
hahaha what a great idea! when i was a kid we always had frozen chicken patties lying around, and i always tried combining them with crazy things to make them more enjoyable. wish i’d thought of this! gotta try it.
When I was a cop in the 3rd District we would eat breakfast pizza every morning right before our shift ended…..she would make the pizza just the way we liked it by the slice and have it ready for us! Great memories and AWESOME breakfast pizza!
I cooked the bacon a little bit, but then I was worried that it would get too crispy and would break when I wrapped it around him if I cooked it any more.
your site is awesome. My buddy Ben Hermsen turned me onto it. I was just wondering when you made the egglami sandwhich if you fried the salami as well???
this guy did it 3 mths ago but he deep fried it as well.. talk about a heart attack! we dont have those products over here in australia but man that looks tasty!
Nice! I went to Pinks in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and it didn’t disappoint. Check out my site and see if you’d like to do a guest post on a hot dog joint near you.
This is so great and so inspiring. I’m thinking there are many other fillings that would be great in a bacon crust. Wondering how it might hold up to a pecan pie? Great job, Nick!
Yeah, it worked out pretty well. Each blogger had to choose a separate cheese to use as the main cheese in their dish and by the time I selected mine a lot of them were already spoken for, but it turned out really good with the Colby Jack.
It’s funny, I actually looked online for meatloaf cupcakes after I made them and saw people that had frosted them with mashed potatoes. I wish I’d thought of that when I did it.
As far as frozen pizzas go Home Run Inn pizzas are actually pretty good (and I’m not just saying that because they sent me some free ones). I think the grease from the burger made the bottom pizza look a little less appealing, but if I were trying to eat healthy and wanted something I could eat quickly I’d probably pick one of these over something similar like a Lean Pocket.
I totally would have, but they limit you to two free beers per night and we never made it back there the rest of the weekend. If you could do it as many times as you wanted I probably would have just sat there all night.
Brilliant! I vote for “winner winner chicken dinner”. The two sandwiches could also be representative of “the goddesses”. Or…the Sheenwich? Love the powdered sugar!
You should have had a glass of…Coke. Honestly how does one even eat a sandwich topped with eggs? I don’t know but I really want to try.
I would say your sandwich looks awesome, but then,”I don’t think the term is good enough, but when you’re bound by these terrestrial descriptions…” -Mr.Sheen
I love burgers and sandwiches topped with eggs! The trick is to let the egg yolk run all over your plate and then dip the sandwich or burger in it before each bite.
I have done this before. On tax day, the McD’s in Tallahassee usually have a buy one, get one for a penny deal. A couple years back, I decided to turn both into one sandwich. I dubbed it the “Super Mac” but I also like the name “Bigger Mac.”
Oddly enough Shepherds do not traditionally have a lot of access to beef, but they do have plenty of lamb. 🙂
P.S. Only stumbled across this blog a few weeks ago and have already started planning to visit a number of the places you have written about when I’m in the States next year.
Ha ha yeah, I hate using those little cups for my ketchup so any time I’m at a fast food place I just turn a soda lid upside down and fill that with ketchup instead.
Hahaha, trust me it wasn’t isolated. I’ve tried that sandwich and mine looked just like yours did. The only thing that made it tolerable was the au jus I had leftover from my french dip lol.
Ketchup with curly fries? Ever tried the Arby’s Sauce with curly fries instead? Much much better 😀
This was not an isolated incident. I had one today and it was exactly as you described, plus was so unrelentingly salty and gross that I threw the second half away. Avoid like the plague.
Love the Barnbuster. My wife had the tenderloin “salad” which was outstanding. I want to try the blue cheese burger next time I go there. The soups are also pretty good.
Congrats! Maybe you can do something with Arby’s too. Might I suggest Good Mood Dude Food as their new slogan?
I hope you don’t forget about us common folk.
I tried a slight variation on this and just used tomatoes instead of the bacon and avacado. It was delicious with the Pepperidge Farm Five Cheese Texas toast though. I also added more cheese.
Well, although I love the new burger you have created (going to get one myself soon), it falls short in the sauce department. The sauce on the Mega Tamago is, let us say, unique. It’s more like wasabi mayo tartar sauce, if I remember correctly.
Wow. When this stuff happens to me I always say to myself- this sucks now but it will make a heck of a story later!
“I’m not trying to be difficult, but if anyone knows the difference between something that’s deep fried and something that isn’t it’s me and this clearly isn’t deep fried. ” – I LOLed at this one 😀
I hate reading articles like this because I know that I could go there today and have fantastic service. People are susceptible to bad days, and the second you stop thinking of them as robots that should bow to your every whim, you’ll grow to be more patient.
Daniel, I know that everyone has bad days, but it wasn’t just one person at this restaurant. The entire staff they had on hand that night didn’t seem to care about anything, which is a terrible way to run a business. I would never think of someone in the food service industry as a “robot that should bow to my every whim,” and what we were asking for of the restaurant certainly wasn’t unreasonable at all. Also, judging from the reactions of the other diners at Kiku that night we certainly weren’t the only ones who had a bad experience.
As someone with experience as wait staff and management in a restaurant, the service his party received was absolutely inexcusable. His order should have been corrected and comped. His server should have at a bare minimum been around to explain the delay in the food and refill drinks. And simply, the server should not have been arguing with the guests.
Yes, his meal should have been comped but it seems he’d rather write a review about how terrible his service was rather than do anything to fix it as it happened.
Frankly Nick, it’s because you didn’t bother to complain that your server can get away with doing those sort of things. Next time your server brings you something you didn’t order you call the manager over right away and get it fixed. Then, instead of writing about how terrible the service was you can write about how quickly the management was to fix the problem.
We did ask to speak to a manager and that’s when our waiter just returned instead to argue with us more. I’m not sure if he was the manager on duty or what, but we pretty much did everything we could to try and fix the situation. Again, it wasn’t only our server, but every single person they had working that night seemed to have the same type of attitude.
Don, if you go back and read the article again, you’ll notice that he did complain. Given the response he received, Nick was beyond justified in writing this review. There is no defending the staff in this situation, and I’m a little surprised at the grief Nick has gotten from some of you.
If you’re in the service industry, you are expected to perform as your job requires. Having a bad day should have no bearing on how well you perform a SERVICE. You can’t excuse crappy service with, “oh, he’s having a bad day.”
I’ve eaten at Kiku before. I agree that the service there is shoddy and on a good day at that! I was there on a mid-afternoon, with only 9 other customers. Took nearly an hour (around 50 minutes) to get Udon noodles. The waiter didn’t stop to refill drinks once in that time, and the host didn’t even bother to ask how everything was.
Meanwhile the other staff could be seen behind the bar, milling around. Incredible
I infact, know exactly who this particular server is and it is also, the manager of the restaurant. I went to Kiku on 3 separate occasions, hoping to receive quality service and each time, was let down and the service was completely inexcusable. I have worked in the service industry for nearly 8 years now and never have I been more appaulled. Never, I repeat never, should the manager of a restaurant yell and point his finger at a calm, respectful, paying customer.
It’s understandable for a person to have a bad day. If however you’re on a tilt like the waiter was, someone should do something about the situation. The manager or owner should have taken the waiter off the floor.
The damage a waiter with a bad attitude is much worse than any lost revenue from being down a staff member. Especially with comments like those the waiter threw at the table who had the will to leave when they were ignored. That’s completely uncalled for in the service industry. People aren’t robots in the service industry but neither should they bring their own personal problems into the work place. In this case, their workplace involves interactions with others. What if this were an office? Is it ok to say about another co-worker, “Fuck’em?” No, that’s not acceptable at all, why should it be acceptable in a restaurant?
Ed, I totally agree, and it was actually a different waiter that made the “Fuck ’em” comment, not ours. That’s one of the things that really made this a bad experience, that no one at all who was working there that night seemed to care about anything.
I had a similar conversation with a waiter about a pizza. We’d ordered a pizza that is supposed to have scoops of ricotta. We’ve eaten it many times and know what it looks and tastes like. When the waiter brought our pizza, it clearly had goat cheese instead of ricotta. It smelled, tasted, and looked like goat cheese. Neither of us like goat cheese. The conversation:
Us: “Could we please see a menu? We want to verify the kind of cheese this pizza is supposed to have.”
Waiter: “Goat cheese, but I’ll bring you a menu.”
Menu: ricotta cheese.
Us: “Well, the menu says ricotta cheese and this is clearly goat cheese – ”
Waiter: snatches pizza away before we can finish talking. Brings back a few minutes later “I showed this to the chef. It’s definitely goat cheese.”
Us: “There seems to be a mistake.”
Waiter: “Well, what do you want me to do about it?”
Us: “Can you bring us a new pizza, but without any cheese to be on the safe side?”
So we got a new cheeseless pizza and the waiter refused to wait on us for the rest of the evening. We wouldn’t have left a tip, but the backwaiters (who usually refill water and bread baskets) were very attentive and we did not want to shortchange them from their share of the tip. Makes a funny story though.
I know people have bad days, but yell expletives in an environment like that shows that you don’t care. Arguing about a menu item is ridiculous. I have been very lucky with sushi spots in the Twin Cities. Last week I was a Fushi-yugi and had a really good roll called “Spider” it had tempura soft shell crab in the middle. At least now you know to avoid this one.
Why did you bother paying? I would have gotten up and left the moment the waiter tried to argue with me about my order. Actually, no, I would have left at the half-hour mark.
If we’d just left they probably would have called the cops or something so I’m not sure if it would have been worth the trouble of dealing with that.
In retrospect we probably should have just left before that, but we had eight people and four different cars, so meeting somewhere else after all that would have been a pain. Plus, by the time our food finally did get there it was pretty late and I think we were all so hungry at that point that we were just grateful that it was finally there.
I hate to be “that guy” but it’s “faze,” not “phase.” A phase is a stage or period in a process of change or development. To faze is to disturb or disconcert.
But I’m sorry you received such horrible service! Perhaps the restaurant was going through an awkward phase – don’t let it faze you!
Ha ha, I’m actually glad you pointed that out. I just fixed it. Usually I’m super crazy about grammar, spelling and using the correct forms of words, so I’m actually a little surprised that I missed it.
Amen. I had my second one of these last night. I was very disappointed by the condition of the first sandwich I purchased and this one was no different…bread was flat, meat, cheese and bacon was a snarled mess…
I emailed a complaint and received a quick courteous response offering a replacement combo and inquiring as to the address of the store.
My reply:
Thank you for your response. The store where the sandwich was purchased is at *** **** ****. I would like to add that this is the second Angus I have had from this location and it was in a similar condition…so I don’t believe this was an anomaly.
I realize that there is a serious challenge in meeting the expectations for appearance that are created by advertising.
Food artists spend enormous amounts of time making a sandwich look the way it does for television and print advertising and it is a difficult task to implement an efficient, repeatable and scalable process to get something out the door that looks even close to it.
Allow me to make a few suggestions. I have worked in the restaurant business and know just enough about food prep to be dangerous.
From my observation last evening, the meat, cheese and bacon contents of the sandwich are pre-assembled in paper boats and microwaved when needed. In a much less hectic world, the meat would be sliced to order which would produce the loft seen in the advertised images, but that is probably impractical.
At the very least, heat the beef separately and add the cheese, bacon and sauce when the sandwich is assembled…it would make for a much more appealing presentation than the liquid, microwaved conglomerate that I received. The temperature and texture of the roll I received may even suggest that the whole thing was microwaved, but I was not able to observe that part of the process.
So…bottom line: Shouldn’t I have something better to do than to thrash on the condition of a $6 sandwich? Probably, but there is an element of principle to this. If an expectation is created, you should deliver. If I am convinced by the image and presentation of a product to stop and purchase it, the product should be at least as good as that image. Anything else is misrepresentation. It will make any future product suspect and not worth the risk of future visits. This is the stuff of maintaining a loyal and satisfied customer base and, ultimately, market share.
I love your final paragraph because it’s pretty much the exact same way I feel. It’s like I said in my review, I know that my food isn’t going to look EXACTLY like the picture in their ads, but when it’s not even in the same ballpark is when I have a problem.
I’m pretty sure I’ve had similar maki rolls in places like L.A. and Las Vegas… Who knows though, maybe they just put those on their menu for the visitors they get from Wisconsin.
Wow. Something like that happened to me at a Japanese restaurant where we’re regulars except that the waitress was more a bit on the dim side than trying to be rude. She forgot to put in our order on a very busy night, forgot about allergies and also brought us the wrong food. She actually had the courage to tell us straight-up that our food was taking an extra long time because she’d forgotten to ring it in, and so she’d asked for some quick to make appetizers so we’d at least have something ot munch on. In any case, I could hardly eat anything because of the food mix ups and it was getting really late – I just wanted to go home and eat something safe. Management wasn’t in that night, but the next time we went in and told our story (because we’d asked if the nice, but very-bad-at-her-job waitress was working and if she was, could she _not_ serve us again) the owner comped our meal that night and gave us a certificate for the next time. So, maybe if you talk to the owner/manager, they might at least refund your meal and give you an incentive to come back again. It would also help to gauge whether the staff acted that way because they’re treated badly by management, in which case the restaurant is probably a lost cause.
Great report Nick. I’ve been an avid reader for some time now. You strike me as a reasonable guy–well, except for some of your dining feats.
I’m not sure what else you could’ve done, and I think it’s absolutely fair to report your experience. The servers who posted complaints above seem overly petty and defensive. I don’t think the business owner’s maxim is “the server is always right.” Yeah, there are asshole customers out there. That sucks, and that’s part of having a job where you interact with other humans. But this seems like a service breakdown. And if servers find serving difficult or unpleasant, they should try a different job, like public school teacher. Or if they have a problem dealing with people, maybe try toll booth attendant or night watchmen.
Thanks! I’m actually extremely reasonable when it comes to stuff like this, but our experience that night was just so unbelievable to not mention it. Based on some of the other reviews I’ve read about Kiku on Yelp and Urbanspoon it looks like quite a few other people have had similar experiences there as well.
A friend of mine recommended this place to me last time I was passing through Milwaukee. I’m glad we decided we didn’t want sushi that night and went somewhere else.
How was the service the first night you went? Did it still take them an hour or so to bring anything out? I wonder what they do for the hour from when they take your order until they bring it out.
Yeah, it’s usually pretty slow service, but never that slow. Before that though I’d only been there during the week when there were usually only three or four tables of people in there.
It’s not even the fact that it took so long that bothered us, it was just the terrible service all around and our waiter continually arguing with us.
That looks amazing! My mum (from Scotland) used to make macaroni cheese (baconless) but added curry powder to the cheese sauce – it is amazing, not too much but a hint of spice – I also add mustard, sometimes English for heat and sometimes American for flavour and savouriness. Yum. I was going to make the traditional roast this afternoon – beef/yorkshires/horseradish/Jersey Royal potatoes/veg but I made need to make some Mac for the side now :0)
Looks and sounds delicious – have you tried halloumi? I like to cut it in quite thick slices rub some olive oil on it with tons of pepper and griddle it getting some nice charred crunchy marks on it, lovely in a sandwich. It also takes lots of flavourings/spices very well and you can squeeze lemon juice over it after you have cooked it – amazing :0)
I actually never even heard of halloumi until I read your comment, but I was just reading about it online and it sounds pretty good. I’ll have to try and find some place near me that sells it and give it a try!
You can add bacon to your Whopper? I never even knew that.
Good catch on the cheese, I totally forgot about that! It’s weird too because it seems like almost every single time I’ve ordered a Whopper they ask me if I want cheese on it and they didn’t this time.
I actually thought you found this at Miller Park. I went this season and found out that they discontinued the Mac & Cheese stand (second level/home plate area) and replaced it with a sliced pork/beef sandwich stand. Sadface.
If you do go to the fourth level, they have a “Meat Parfait” stand featuring mashed potatoes. I haven’t tried it yet, but if you do, I would appreciate any comments.
Nope, I made it at home, but I actually submitted this as an entry earlier this year when they had a contest to bring a new food item to Miller Park. I ended up not even being one of the finalists though.
That’s probably because they thought the Mac & Cheese stand was coming back. And they’d probably charge an arm and a leg for something like you made. Maybe that’s what detered them. It looks good though.
Nick, this reminded me of something I tried to do when I was young. 7-up had an ad campaign where they called themselves “the Un-cola”. In some ads, they showed an “un-burger” which was a hamburger with the fixings – lettuce, tomato, onion – on the inside. I thought this looked so delicious I wanted to make one myself. Needless to say, I discovered the same thing you did. Hamburgers shrink!
that looks so good! i’ve been wanting dunkin’ donuts/baskin robins to combine stuff for years! who wouldnt enjoy a donut ice cream sandwich? i should ask if they can do that for me the next time i go there. if not, then i can just order 2 donuts and get a cup of ice cream and make my own!
I have wondered about this place too when I see the sign on the interstate between Madison and Chicago. Sounds like I will need to make a pit stop next time.
They make a tasty Italian beef too. Big fan of the Haus.
If you find yourself further north, try Dr. Dawg in Glendale. Awesome chow. They have Scala Italian beef, Vienna dogs, excellent fries, great sausage options, including duck and vegetarian. (I personally find veggie sausage an abomination, but point it out for any herbivores out there.)
Oh yeah, I’m pretty much the same way, but I just figured that I should point it out to any non-meat eaters out there. Then again I’m not sure how many non-meat eaters I have reading my blog…
Milwaukee has tons of homeless people Chris, you just need to leave Wauwatosa to find them! Just kidding. I met him down near 16th and Wisconsin hanging outside of Walgreens.
As a fellow participant in the face-off, I have to admire your impartiality (is that a word?) and creativity in choosing a winner. I just rode my bike around and stuffed my face.
Im out in Hollywood, and they actually SERVE this on the menu at Dillon’s pub. They charge $11.00 for it! you’re on the right track! In case you think I’m making it up: http://www.dillonsirishpub.com/menu
Love this blog btw!!
This may be the greatest taste test I’ve ever seen. Its interesting that Johnny preferred Natty’s over Walgreen’s own “Big Flats 1901” ($2.99 per sixer).
If Johnny Marquette likes the Arby’s, that’s the only one I’ll buy from now on!
I think I know exactly who you are talking about 🙂
I had the WORST most RIDICULOUS experience at this place. First, the waitress confided to me in spanish that there was a lot of sexual harassment happening by the manager and none of the female staff were happy working there. This “server” LOUDLY verbally fought with another server and was barking out orders to my and many other customers disbelief. I invites the waitress to have a drink at my table after her shift, and she agreed. This “server” then proceeds to walk over to our table with a “no she didnt” scowl on his face. I told him that we had invited her to sit with us. He LITERALLY told me “Yeah, thats nice.” and brushed me off. I breathed through wanting to put my foot through his chest. He then proceeded to scold this girl in the middle of the dining room! As I left, I looked back at the manager and his idiot server. The manager asked if everything was alright. I said no as the door closed. He rushed outside, where I assumed he was going to apologize and say Im sorry, but our policy doesnt allow servers to sit with customers, etc. Instead, he begins YELLING at me and threatens to call the police because she is underage. I responded with the fact that I hadnt ordered her an alcoholic beverage, and a “drink” can be juice, soda, or water. Furthermore, if anyone was going to get in trouble it would be his establishment for serving her an alcoholic beverage, and so in and so forth. The friend I was with laughed because she works for the police. She said go ahead, I will probably personally know the respondimg officer. Rather than reply with my fists, I bid him a good night, and comforted the crying waitress. I strongly recommend anyone with half a shred of decency of class to never go to Kikous Sushi in downtown. And to the “server” with an ego the size of Rhode Island, you WILL get what is coming to you. Karma. Namyo Ho Renge Kyo. Domo Arigato. That place is ridiculous….
I live in Madison but I usually make a Kopps stop when I’m in Milwaukee. Last time I went my burger was really REALLY salty. I don’t remember them being salty in the past… maybe some new kid accidentally dumped a bunch of salt on my burger. Anyway, custard was out of this world- I want some now!!!
The candy is WAY better than I expected. I guess the guy that started the company has been brewing beer forever and has actually won lots of awards for his beer.
I ordered a 4 pack of these a couple days ago and it arrived today. I ate all four flavors and I would highly recommend these. My favorites were the Lager with milk chocolate and the Stout with dark chocolate, but all of them were delicious.
Where do you live now? They sell these pizzas frozen and I’m sure that Palermo’s doesn’t sell them in all 50 states, but they do sell them in a lot of places besides Wisconsin.
Hi, my name is Jessica, I’m the manager at Kiku. We are trying to do something for your bad experience. We would like to make it up to you by offering a $25 gift card so you can come try us one more time. Please send me your e-mail address to try to get you in as soon as possible. I appreciate you reading this e-mail.
Thank you,
-your friends at Kikus!
Thank you for the offer, but I think I’ll decline. Based on other reviews I’ve read this doesn’t really seem to be an isolated incident, and there are way too many other great sushi places in and around Milwaukee that I’ve had excellent service at for me to come back to Kiku.
Whoa really? I only live a mile or so from Pizzeria Piccola, and I’ve eaten there a couple times, but I’ve never noticed that on the menu. I’ll have to take a closer look next time I’m there!
-stay away from spinach and the like because it cooks down to pretty much nothing and takes up a lot of bowl space.
-some places (Flat Top- locations in Madison/Chicago/other places) will bring you a bowl of noodles/rice on the side so you don’t need to take up valuable bowl space.
-Flat Top allows you a small separate bowl for meat- even more space!
If you haven’t tried Flat Top I highly recommend it and I consider myself a Mongolian Grill aficionado. 🙂
Well thank you, hopefully you never ever get that kinf of experience again. We are sincerely sorry and are working on improving every minute of th day. IF you ever change your mind well send coupons all day everyday just shoot emal to [email protected] WE ARED WILLING TO OFFER 50$ COUPONS TO LET YOU KNOW WE ARENT PLAYING ANYMORE.
I’ve been by that place and wondered if it was any good. I used to end up at Popeyes instead but now sadly that is gone. Might have to give Meyer’s a shot.
I’ve ordered from Dino’s in the past, and never really had any complaints about the food quality up until a month ago. I asked my lady to order a corned beef extra lean on untoasted bread (to avoid the butter/margarine). When I got the sandwich, the fat on the meat was not trimmed and the bread was toasted (with the fat I was trying to avoid). I decided that I would not order there again.
Tonight, my lady called me at work and told me she was going there to order a gyro and asked if I wanted anything. After thinking it over I decided to give it another chance.
The sandwich was exactly how I wanted it, extra lean, no butter on the bread, great! I ate half of the sandwich checking the meat for fat as I ate.. I start on the other half, I check the meat and found a fingernail. It’s as if someone accidentally broke a nail while making the sandwich (at least I hope so)… If you DO DECIDE to eat there, KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON WHO EVER IS MAKING YOUR FOOD, if you don’t want any SECRET INGREDIENTS!
Im a correctional officer in florida and i have seen some pretty interesting and disgusting versions of this,and in florida prisons they call it “Buck”, but whatever you call it, it is all basically the same. im making this stuff right now and am really iterested in what it tastes like and most of all how much alcohol is in it.
you can also up the alcohol content by adding another cup or two of sugarthe day you pull it up and drop it for another 48 hrs..and to cut the cooking time down (if your in prison) pinch the center out of bread and wrap in stocking or new sock tip sewed or tied shut..the yeast in the dough helps speed up the process…if your a free man just ad 1 table spoon of activated yeast (wine yeast if you wanna be fancy) but if you use yeast you can leave out the tomato paste or catchup.
I’m glad I saw this comment before I added the ketchup. I can’t imagine ketchup prison wine tasting all that great, and since I’m a free man I think I’ll probably just go with the yeast for now.
I’m a convict from SC. You can actually make buck a lot faster. Orange juice concentrate (6 cups), 3 cups of fruit (we used peaches), 2 (small) bags Jolly Ranchers, 4 tomatoes (halved). Put your fruit, juice, and tomatoes in a plastic trash bag, tie it off, and then place that bag inside of another trash bag. Then wrap it in a nice, thick towel and place it over a floor vent with the heat on (or put it in a box and place a clip-on lamp inside with the bulb pressed against the towel), and let sit for 24 hours. Burp the bag every 2-3 hours. Then add your Jolly Ranchers. Re-tie the bag and heat some more for another 48 hours, burping every 2-3 hours. And that’s it. 72 hour wine. Doesn’t taste great, and if you’re consuming alcohol on at least a semi-regular basis, it’ll take probably the whole bag to get you smashed. But for a prison inmate? Two to three cups gets you in the mood. Five to six will give correctional officers a lively night, especially if consumed by a Native American. Rink responsibly!
I was in Florida prison for 8 years, I’m in Egypt now. I can show you how to make gas. Don’t use ketchup tho use tomatoes. Instead of fruit cocktail ise apple juice and orange juice. And of course oranges. It’s stronger than 4 Loco.
Hey I wanted to ask for the recipe. I’m curious about the taste and alcohol content. Alcohol is going and always been a good bartering product. Even better than gold.
Bro. 2lbs of sugar per gallon of water, 6oz tomato paste per gallon, half a uncooked potato,diced as finely as possible per gallon, heat the water up to almost boiling and put it in your bag first, then the sugar, make sure it fully dissolved. Then mix the tomato paste and potatoes, mix well. Then, the kicker, one cup of yeast roll mix from the kitchen. You better be there to burp it every hour or so or it *will* explode. This recipe tastes like malt liquor and I would say is about 15-20% alcohol after three days of being kept warm. Any longer and you’re making vinegar. Try it Buck connoisseurs.
That looks delish… cheez whiz dipping cup would make it epic. or even some sort of house made (ie. less processed) cheddar cheese sauce drizzled on it… yummm
Been reading a while but never commented, you need to add ketchup to philly cheesesteak pizza, not wiz. And if you take a slice of that and wrap it around a soft pretzel you have yourself a philly taco!
Not every Pick has the All You Can Eat option. Being a PNS employee, I didn’t even know that but that’s an awesome way to be able to try things without wasting space in the container and take away from the regular salad options. Very nice.
I’m a huge fan of the bar and enjoy it about once a week. I have seen people even take just a few pepper pieces or lettuce and then use that for another entree at home and save themselves the hassel of buying a whole vegetable and throwing half of it out!
Yeah, there are three different Pick ‘n Save stores within a few miles of my work and this one is the only one with the all you can eat option. I love it though.
It’s funny that you mention the people just buying a few slices of random things because I did the exact same thing there last night when I was grilling out at home and only wanted enough peppers, onion slices and lettuce for a few burgers.
definitely #13 – The Roadhouse – caramelized onions, onion rings, AND a toasted onion roll? yes, please! Plus, it has bacon. everything is better with bacon. The gruyere and garlic mayo even throw in a bit of class. =p
Number 11, the Firehouse, because of the havarti/capicola. The Kansas City would be a close second, BBQ potato chips on the burger. I do this all the time at my favorite burger joint on my Double one pound patty cheese burgers. I’m a tiny girl and Dominate that tasty potato chip cheese burger concoction.
The Denver looks amazing because whenever you can have breakfast and lunch in one meal thats a plus but I have to give a big thumbs up to the Rhinelander because well I live in Rhinelander Wisconsin!
Not gonna lie, #30 the macho nacho looks like everything I’ve ever wanted in life. I’m surprised I made it to the thirtieth burger, I spent about 5 minutes staring at each one going “Oh yeah, this is definitely the one…but just in case…*click!*” and of course, #30 caught my eye. Macho Nacho is all that needs to be said, my hands down favorite.
Whoa, sounds like quite a night! I have been into Kiku a few times and to an extent have ran into some of the problems you described in your article… slow food prep and suspect waiters being the main issues. That being said, these haven’t been enough to keep me away as our food orders have always been spot on and very tasty. Maybe it’s just me but I am always willing to overlook staff errors or attitudes as long as the food tastes great.
I generally agree about overlooking staff errors and attitude, but this experience was just WAY too terrible for me to ever want to go back.
What makes it even worse is that after that night I found out that our waiter was actually the owner of Kiku, and for an owner of a restaurant to act the way he did is completely inexcusable.
I’m going to have to go with the New Orleans since I’m going there next weekend! Also, you should not let Finn eat like you do…he’s getting quite the roll around the neck in that t-shirt!
The Seattle from the Cheeseburgers Across America group almost won, but I cannot tolerate mushrooms, especially if they are stuck up “Pinot Noir-Glazed Wild Foraged” mushrooms. I am going to have to go with #13 The Roadhouse. It has all the classic flavors that go so well with burgers (garlic, onions, bacon) and I LOVE gruyere.
The San Francisco looks damn good, I agree, but I think if I can only pick one, it would have to be the Denver. Eggs on a cheeseburger make it irresistible!
Good, it’s Hollander food with a few twists. Prolly will be better when the popularity dies down, if that ever happens. The rooftop patio looks awesome. It was rainy when I went. =(
At Miller Park I’ve only seen it at the specialty fry place (can’t remember the name) near section 127. They call it “The Montreal”. I think that I’ve also seen it at AJ Bombers on Water St but I don’t know if it is part of the regular menu. I haven’t tried it either place since I have had to limit my intake lately. Now, maybe if I plan a trip to Canada it would be an excuse to try it there, just for the sake of research, you know…
I’m headed to another Brewers game in a couple weeks so I’ll have to check near section 127 for it.
Also, as far as AJ Bombers goes would you believe I still haven’t been there? I’m pretty sure I’m one of the only people in Milwaukee who still hasn’t eaten there.
Red Dot on Milwaukee’s east side has the best poutine around our area. I tried it at Miller Park and was very disappointed. At Red Dot you can even get tator tots instead of fries. Unbelievably good! http://reddotmilwaukee.com/
I think that this place has the best Corned beef in Wisconsin. After trying many of other places food I went there and I tried it it is the best I have had in the Midwest. THe place is clean and I would go there every time I am craving Corned beef. The meat is so tender it will melt in your mouth. If you find yourself close stop by and try it.
I have had the Poutine at Benelux. It was good but not as great as what I remember from Toronto. I’m also amazed it hasn’t caught on (esp. in Milwaukee – we love cheese curds!)
I want to say the Kenwood Inn on the third floor of the UWM Student Union had Monte Cristos made with french toast instead of just an egg batter…I don’t like swiss cheese, so I never had one, but Sharon ate them a lot I think.
Oh man, monte cristos are the shit…. They make an amazing one at one of the restaurants in Disneyland, and the one at Cheesecake Factory is pretty legit for a chain. French Toast as sandwich bread should definitely be an option though..like a high class McGriddle!
Yes, do not eat here. There are a lot better places to eat then this one. The four of us waited for our food for more than an half an hour. We were the only customers. And then when it finally arrived three orders had been put on one plate instead of everyone having their own. And after that we had to wait for the forth one to arrive after three of us had finished eating.
The food is not even that good, prices are way too expensive considering the quality of food.
Also a male waiter acted rude (extremely rude) towards us and then when we didn’t leave him 18% tip which was handwritten on the bill by himself (we did leave some, but not the 18%), he tried to stop us by running after us and closing the door in front of a member of our group. Some of us had already stepped out to the street and couldn’t believe our eyes.
We thought we were being generous considering the poor service we got and still decided to leave some tip, but no way we were going to give him the 18%. So we explained to him why we didn’t feel we should tip him that much. Then he got really upset about it and started yelling even more.
But do you want to know the best part of our whole experience here? I think it was great when the manager/owner came to our “rescue” and yelled at the waiter “let the Fuckers go”!
What a great service, right? If you are dining here I have to warn you this is Milwaukee’s version of Chicago’s famous Wiener’s Circle, but these guys aren’t even funny. Yeah, fuck you too Milwaukee.
Haven’t tried the sandwich yet, but I’m a huge fan of Arby’s and love its beef n’ cheddar sandwich. Throw some curly fries on the side and I’m a happy girl. I’ll have to give this one a try.
Oh man, I love arby’s, but the one that was within reasonable driving distance from my house was turned into a Nathan’s… The only arby’s remaining in my area is a 35min drive. Totally worth making the trip though, especially since that new sandwich looks pretty beefy!
FlatOut wraps also make pretty good thin crust pizzas.. they’re probably a bit smaller than these, but they come in a variety of (tasty!) flavors, like italian herb, tomato, etc.
That sandwich kinda looks like a giant horse vagina. Or maybe sliced dachshund skin on a roll. I can’t decide which one it looks like more, but I sure hope I randomly win the gift card so I can try one some day!!
I don’t know that J-lo song, I do like Abry’s but mostly I like you blog. It makes me happy when I see a new post. It makes me sad when there is no new post.
This sandwich looks awesome. I’ll have to give it a try even if I don’t win the gift card! (although winning a $20 Arby’s gift card would be pretty sweet)

Can you bring it over to the farmers market? If you could that would rule! I thought that you had to keep your drinks on their patio area on the bridge though.
I should look into the logistics of opening a beermosa stand at the farmers market.
The eggrolls and crab ragoons at the Tosa Farmers market are hands down the best in Milwaukee. No restaurant compares. Straight from some Hmong family kitchen. Thanks for the reminder,DudeFoods. I’m going this weekend.
I dont care for pickles on my sandwiches either but forgot to not ask for them and they are actually diced small with the banana peppers so it was a good addition!
I grew up (a LONG time ago) frequently going to Arby’s with my folks. It was obviously not REAL Roast Beef, but as good a simulation as Buddig’s supermarket deli slices. And the Cheddar on the Beef and Cheddar? It’s Nacho Sauce with the peppers surgically removed! Still, Horsey Sauce was my favorite way to consume horseradish until Fake Wasabi came along. When Arby’s started offering Angus Beef sandwiches, I had my doubts… but then I’ve had doubts about the special-ness of Angus Beef ever since Jack in the Box did its infamous comparison commercial hinting at an Angus/Anus connection. Haven’t been able to look at “Angus Third Pounder” on the McD’s menuboard since. Still, I wouldn’t turn down an Arby’s freebie.
I have an eternally hungry boyfriend, and no cooking skills. I bet he’d be really happy to hear I won him a couple meals. Also, I want an excuse to eat an Arby’s apple turnover.
Ok. I love your blog and follow it religiously. But I was just wondering…what exactly is a cheese curd? I’m originally from Cleveland, Ohio and now live in Chicago. I have never spent an extended amount of time in Wisconsin or any of the middle-of-the-country states and am therefore unfamiliar with the “cheese curd” haha:)
Cheese curds “are the solid pieces of curdled milk… [they] are made from fresh pasteurized milk in the process of creating cheese when bacterial culture and rennet are added to clot the milk. After the milk has been pasteurized, the result is a mixture of whey and curd. This mixture is then cooked and pressed to release the whey from the curd, creating the final product of cheese curd.”
If you’re ever in Oregon, you should drive to the Tillamook Creamery. They have the best cheese curds ever.
Not my recipe but I have made it…it is pretty darn good!
Salisbury Steaks
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (1 ounce) packet dry au jus mix
3/4 cup water
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Shape into 8 patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the patties in flour just to coat, and quickly brown on both sides in the hot skillet. Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water. Pour over the meat. Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours, until ground beef is well done.
We live in a “developing neighborhood” and the Arby’s there is the only fast-food restaurant not entirely bent on ruining their parent company’s reputation. The less said about our closest McDonald’s, the better. *Shudder*
Gimme all your Arby’s money!
BTW I wear size 8 shoes and Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory” is really stupid and annoying and so much worse than any of her other music.

When we were little, our mom would spank us with wooden spoons. My brother and I did something one day to get in trouble so we broke all of her spoons. She pulled out 1 broken spoon after another and finally realized we had done something so we broke them in a pre-emptive strike.

Well, once again we were treated shabbily at Kiku Japanese Restaurant. After first being thrown out by a staff member (and called a MF!!!) who refused to change a $1 BILL SO WE COULD PARK AND EAT. We were offered a FREE dinner tonight to apologize. We got there and they didn’t give us the dinner, they offered a $20 coupon. We left. The Shepherd Express should be ashamed of them using their name all over their store.
I user to be the food service director at a scout camp……….We called this “Mountain Man Breakfast” cooked it in a tilt skillet to serve about 275 scouts during each rotation for summer camp………….I have also made it many time in my Dutch Ovens……….Never ment a scouter or scout that didn’t love it
Nick,
I love the article well written my friend, straight, and to the point!!! Bravo! First time to the site. I roamed a little bit. And I love it!!! And to Courtney C. whatever you do please please please keep putting more recipes, my site is called Crock Pot King, and is more geared to saving time for people, if you have more recipes, like this. Just shout at me, and I’ll put it up.
To both of you!!! Bravo!
Not to mention but the Versatility 6 Quart Slow Cooker, gets a thumbs up!
P.S.
I’ve already bookmarked your post.
Thanks,
Ben
I just checked out your site a bit and I’ll most certainly be using some of the recipes and tips that you’ve posted now that I have my sweet West Bend slow cooker!
I haven’t tried the Clock Stopper burger but the #2 (Mushroom and Swiss) is very tasty! My favorite appetizer there is the spinach/artichoke dip with pizza chips! Yummmmm!!
Texas State Fair had original, grape, cherry and garlic. I tried the original and the cherry. Original tasted like, well, butter. The cherry was kind of like a really buttery sweet roll. Sort of. It’s kind of hard to describe.
I tried this sandwich yesterday and i am hooked.I always never liked Arbys but now its my favorite fast food.I actually had to have another one of these today.If you havent tried this badboy yet GO DO it lol
So I came across your site via Nerdalicious and have been pursuing it for the past several hours. Yes, really.
I just felt the need to comment on this entry, though, because my friends are always telling me that I am the only person in the world who dips my grilled cheese in ranch dressing! But I’m not! :fist bump: or whatever it is the cool kids are doing these days. 🙂
Thanks for reading! Yeah, I pretty much dip everything in ranch. I even put ranch dressing on my pizza sometimes, which all my friends though was crazy when I started doing it ten years ago, but now I know tons of people that put ranch dressing on pizza.
See, i used to /know/ people who’d score me free crystal farms. all kinds of awesome “test” batches and such. Yum. Good brand. I’ll have to submit something for that contest… hmm…
I wouldn’t have thought of this combination, but it’s a great idea. And it has some historical validity since both chocolate and corn originated in Mexico or Central America.
When you said watermelon I wanted to hit you with a stick and run away. 🙂 I thought it would disintegrate but it looks like just the opposite happened.
hmm… I totally saw this coming… =) gravy dipping sauce would definitely be the way to go here, especially since most egg rolls come with some sort of dipping sauce anyway. Good stuff!
The Big O is easaly one of the best burgers youy will get anywhere in the city of Milwaukee. The consistancy of it’s preparation is what keeps it at the top of the list.
Deep fried banana is the norm here in Australia. Same with pineapple. Banana and pineapple fritters as they are called are staples on everyones dessert menu.
We made one and used a small block of velveeta, sliced into thin squares that we placed around the top, in addition to provolone and mozzarella, beef, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and a small amount of red sauce on the bottom. We all agreed the melted velveeta was what really made the pizza great.
I love Charlie’s!! Last time we were there late at night, we could order anything off the menu, it was awesome. So are the Irish Nachos or whatever they’re called.
They called it Mr. Peanut’s Naturally Remarkable Tour, and I am really disappointed that it evidently stopped at Summerfest this year and I didn’t know about it!
Happy Birthday Mr Peanut !! Your Nutmobile will be traveling the Planters’ Naturally Remarkable Tour and I can remember when I bought the plush Peanut man that I still have . Love ya !!
Hey DudeFoods,
Thanks for the shout out! We actually wanted to warn people to not squeeze a cheese sandwich into their toaster, especially the Quick Serv because the cheese can gunk up the trap door. If the toast can’t drop there’s a chance it could burn the bread… and depending on how attentive you are in the kitchen, I suppose the house too.
We love your blog and don’t want to limit your foodie thoughts. But Customer Service and Product Development wanted to make sure we weren’t advocating something that we actually advise against on our instruction manual.
Breakfast lasagne with layers of pancakes, waffles and eggs would be cool. Maybe cook the eggs first in the bottom of the casserole pan so you have a flat layer of them. In between the eggs, waffles, and pancakes you could have bacon, cheese, veggies, sausage, and canadian bacon.
What about breakfast poutine? Instead of fries you can do homestyle potatoes. Add cheese curds and top with sausage gravy and then put an over-easy egg on top.
I love the lasagna idea! I guess they have breakfast poutine at Cafe Benelux, but I’m not sure what it all consists of. I’ve been wanting to stop in and try it for a while now.
Actually, its because it is illegal to drink/have an open container of alcohol in public in most places. So yeah, they were trying to hide their beers! lol
Aunt Jenny how about combining the bbq with eggs benedict? You could replace the canadian bacon with pulled pork or burnt ends and then use BBQ sauce instead of hollandaise!
Holy crap, wow what a burger. What condiments would you suggest? We love brat patties on the grill. And we love bacon. Joe doesn’t ever want a regular burger since having the brat pattie. Your burger loves like art. Very proud of you.
I’ve never even heard of chilaquiles until now, but I just found a Mexican / Latin restaurant in Milwaukee that serves them for brunch and now I want to go there!
It was actually a little bigger than small. A bunch of the bacon grease dripped down into the grill and started on fire. I totally would have taken a picture, but instead I just grabbed the burger off as fast as I could so it wouldn’t get burnt.
Hi Nick, Terri whipped up some awesome lemon and birthday cake balls for our team dinner night. The volleyball players loved them. She did an awesome job on the flavors, plus they were beautifully packaged, in team colors. Highly recommended!
It looks really white because during deep frying it mixed with some of the melted cheese from the cheese curds. I didn’t see any recipe on the link you posted, but I actually prefer a light chicken or turkey gravy to a heavy brown gravy because when you use too heavy of a gravy that becomes almost all you can taste.
As someone who grew up in the “French Fry Capital” of Canada (Sturgeon Falls, ON) the trick to poutine gravy is 2 parts beef gravy 1 part chicken gravy. It gives it the depth needed without being overpowering. I thought this was a local-thing until recently I have seen many French-Canadian chefs swear by this. Depending where you are you can buy cans of “poutine” gravy. I just looked at the label of a can of it for aditional seasonings & other than the ambiguous “spices” it lists onion powder, garlic powder & black-strap molasses.
There must be a Pizza Hut rep keeping an eye out because as of today it charged extra if you go over 5 toppings for a custom pizza, or if you add toppings to a lovers pizza. 🙁
Hey Summer, I was just trying to order something ridiculous like Nick did, and didn’t get charged extra…so it seems like it still works? Maybe some specific thing you added goofed it up?
I like the idea of a graham cracker based dough. I actually want to make graham cracker based hamburger rolls and them make a burger called the S’moregasbord Burger and top the burger with chocolate and marshmallows and then serve it on the graham cracker bun.
Deep fried pie sounds awesome – kinda like the fried apple pies at mcd’s. Do you like japanese tempura? It might be a nice change of pace for you. Just buy a box of japanese tempura mix, follow the directions and make sure the water is ice cold and the batter is lumpy, and then deep fry everything you can put your hands on — tempura fried vegetables (especially green beans, zucchini, and eggplant) dipped in hot sauce is insanely good. Tempura is also an ideal coating for fish and shellfish.
OMG. I just ate there and had almost the same experience. Unreal. Someone should post this on their door! I just dont understand how service gets that bad!
You’d be amazed how many people I’ve talked to that have had similar experiences there. They must rely on new customers coming there all the time (which is probably why Kiku always has deals on places like Groupon and Living Social) or people from out of town that are staying downtown. I can’t imagine that they have many repeat customers at all.
Dude, LMFAO this is money awesome creativity Nick!! Rock on Meatball snowman I will have to give this a try and build one soon since winter is upon us.
Ewwww, I HATE pickles. There’s a burger place in Milwaukee that has deep fried pickles on their burgers and I won’t even eat them deep fried, which says a lot about how much I dislike them.
It really was. Most times when you order mac & cheese at a restaurant it doesn’t taste any different than any of the stuff you can just buy from the grocery store, but the mac & cheese at Motor was super good.
The Bloody Mary burger sounds amazing! However, what are “beef sticks?” Is that a euphemism for all beef hotdogs? The mac and cheese looks soooo good – I have yet been able to master homemade mac and cheese. Incidentally, one of the BEST parties I have ever been to was a birthday bbq party for this guy who loves mac and cheese. Instead of gifts, he asked people to make homemade mac and cheese and bring it for a contest. All the guests got to taste and vote and the top 3 winners won prizes provided by the birthday boy. There were huge 35 trays of mac and cheese in various incarnations. It was AWESOME.
Yeah, they’re similar to Slim Jims, but usually a lot better quality. HERE’S a link to a picture of a Bloody Mary from this place here called the Wicked Hop, which has some of the best Bloody Marys in Milwaukee.
Hmmm, ok that does look pretty tasty when you also include all the pickled stuff which would really complement the spiciness of the meat stick and the cocktail. I love that your blog introduces the rest of the world to Northern Midwestern Cuisine. Aside: I was in Milwaukee once and ate at Oakland Gyros. It was tasty but put me in the bathroom for 12 hours.
Oh man, I haven’t been to Oakland Gyros in forever! In college I’d usually end up there for late night food after a long night of drinking. They would always have lines way out the door.
Yeah! Deep fried BLT sammies sounds amazing. This is what I was thinking too while reading this. (Which, by the way, deep fried mayo cubes = barf)
However, cooked lettuce is kind of gross and gets a slimy consistency. You also cannot freeze lettuce or tomato because it develops a horrid texture. I would use fresh baby spinach leaves instead to give it a “green” flavor that tastes ok being cooked and combined with bacon & oil. I would also make sure the tomato was in the center to make it the least cooked and hopefully retain a little freshness.
I just got my first Candwich in the mail, and I wasn’t very impressed. The idea is GREAT!… but the sandwich was missing texture and taste. The bread felt like a 4 week old hot dog bun. The gimmick had it’s 15 minutes of fame, but next time I’ll kept it un-opened on my desk for shits and giggles.
Ever had chinese shrimp toast? I would aim for something like that… Take some white bread, mix an egg into the Baconnaise, then spread a thick layer of the Baconnaise + egg mixture on the bread, and then sandwich it with another piece. Cut it into squares and freeze it. Take the frozen squares the next day, dip them in beaten egg, then bread crumbs and fry those. Dust with bacon salt fresh out of the fryer… should be a little better texture-wise, since the bread will soak up the melted Baconnaise so it won’t burn.
Based on the (near-enough) success of this experiment, McDonalds clearly needs to start serving deep-fried happy meals. They could call them ‘doubly happy meals’.
Inspiring! What an awesome idea! I would totally eat these. Deep fried pancake in a roll with crisp bacon, oozy butter, and syrup inside sounds kind of awesome.
I feel like it would be a lot better if you went earlier in the day, but Mexican food doesn’t always taste the best after it’s been sitting around in warming trays for that long.
My husband’s family has been going to Burrito Bueno forever, and it’s actually really great food! The fiesta fajitas are awesome and they have huge, deadly strong margs for pretty cheap. I’ve had the weekend buffet and it’s not their best food, but it’s decent for the price. So glad you went there! Go again and order off the menu sometime — you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Holy crap, that does sound good! My friend Penney makes a cornbread with bacon baked into the top every thanksgiving. Your pumpkin spiced bacon would up the ante on that dish for sure!
The sole former George Webb “up north”, in Appleton, changed its name to Little Diner Xpress. I haven’t been their yet, but I’ve heard they’ve stayed mostly the same as well.
Also, the one I used to go to in Burlington changed its name to Stormin Norman’s.
Tried the grilled chicken mac before, thought it was really bland. Not really sure what the point is of adding grisly, flavorless chicken chunks into equally flavorless orange water pasta.
I’ve been seeing these around and will have to finally make the purchase. I’m a big fan of pop-chips and kettle corn, it seems only natural that I will like these.
Thanks Nick….this is Chef Tom from Motor. I created the Apple Bacon Burger and am glad you had a chance to try it. More burger specials coming every month!!
They actually used to be located in Arizona and only moved to Vegas about a month ago.
You probably don’t HAVE to wear the hospital gown if you don’t want to, but everyone else does, so you’d actually look kind of out of place if you didn’t.
Really? Everybody wears it? No way. Well, I guess as they say, “when in rome….”
No wonder I haven’t heard of it before, the last time I was in Vegas was May, I think. Oh, I was wondering what kind of condiments come with your burger and fries. Is there mayo, ketchup, mustard available to add to your burger and fries? I actually like mayo & ketchup with my fries or sometimes ranch dressing.
Oh, this reminds me, I recently heard of something called a Butter Burger out in the midwest. I think it is a burger made with butter, cooked in butter, on a bun spread with butter. Something like that. It sounds freaking delicious. Would love to see a review by you on that kind of thing.
They had mayo and ketchup and I’m sure mustard as well, but I hate mustard so I wasn’t really paying attention to see If there was any.
I LOVE mixing mayo and ketchup! I call it “metchup” ha ha.
Butter burgers are super good! Basically they put butter on the grill and cook the burgers on top of it and then spread it on the buns as well and throw those on the grill for a little while before assembling the burgers. I’ll definitely write about one at some point!
Awesome! I look forward to an Butterburger piece! I tried to find recipes online because since I can’t find one out here, I would like to try making one. But recipes vary. Some people put a pat of butter *inside* the burger as well. It sounds like Culver’s is supposed to be the original? Anyway, I trust your taste and I would be so grateful if you would be able to figure out the best butter burger recipe or give pointers on what components make a great one. Most of my friends out here who have never been to the midwest are also in awe that there are such things as butterburgers in the world. We are all looking forward to learning more! Thanks!
This place in Milwaukee called Solly’s Grille was supposedly the first place that served butter burgers. I’m not sure if Culver’s was just the first to trademark the name “butter burger” or what, but Solly’s was around for about 50 years before the first Culver’s even opened. I think Culver’s just gets the credit since they’re a chain around here and Solly’s just has one location.
I’ve actually never made a butter burger myself at home though, so I’m not sure which recipe would really be the best or taste the best.
😀 every time i see a new post, i get ready to drool. we dont have food like this in australia (unless you make it yourself). pancakes with a side of bacon is about as adventerous as most people get.
regarding the calorie counts/labeling – manufacturers are allowed to be up to 20% off in their calorie counts, and a lot of the time, they tend to round down. Hence why the math doesn’t add up correctly. Another interesting fact – the FDA allows any product with less than 5 calories per serving to be labeled as having “0 calories.”
Diet Mountain Dew, according to the label, has 0 calories per serving It also has 10 calories per 20 ounce bottle. That always amuses me (but now I know why, thanks, Christina).
I bet if you told the cheesemongers what you were doing with that cheese they would die a little bit inside. I asked them for a good cheese for pizza once and they told me (in a nice way!) that Fromagination cheeses are better suited for a fancy cheese tray versus a pizza. Oh well!
I also love the fact that they leftovers of the cheese wheel are called “orphans”. Makes me feel like I’m doing a good deed by giving them a good home! 🙂
I did! Not a ton of it though, and since there was so much other cheese its taste didn’t overpower the pizza or anything. The chocolate cheese fudge is actually super good. I’ll have another blog post coming up at some point where I use the fudge cheese as well.
The first time I heard of a beermosa was in the movie Four Christmases and it was the preferred cocktail at a supposedly super white trash household. I mocked it at first but at second thought figured that they would probably be pretty good. I think I would use a hoegaarden, blue moon, or any Saison beer since it would complement the citrus so well.
Your experience unfortunately is not unique. Some McDonald’s managers don’t understand that you have already paid for your certificates, so you aren’t getting anything free. If you call McDonalds corporate HQ to complain they will give you a $5 Arch card for free. Their number is 866-919-2653. You can also complain to LivingSocial Customer service at 877-521-4191.
Thank you very much for these numbers and info. I just had to contact them about my disagreement & cost at our McDonalds. Just maybe, the next 4 vouchers I use will go over smoothly!
I also got this deal and encountered issues the first time I tried to use it. They said the same thing to me that they did you, that I would still have to pay half price for it. They had to get the manager who relented, “gave” me the Big Mac but treated me as though I was pulling a fast one on her. I have since used another voucher at the same McDonald’s and they seemed to have got it worked out now.
Yeah, they acted like I was trying to scam them somehow! I just kept trying to explain that yes, it is for half priced Big Macs, but I’ve already paid the half price for them and now I just need to be able to redeem the vouchers.
I see deals like this all the time and I loathe them. There’s one going around where I live wherein you buy a voucher with 10 oil changes for $30. There’s all kind of fine print, like expiration dates before your car would need all ten, then they try to up sell you $50+ standard services like windshield wipers and fluid, etc.
I hate coupons for two reasons. The above mentioned type hassles and I end up looking like a prick.
Think about how a McDonald’s employee has to deal with random coupons all the time, and the people that probably make their job harder. It’s neither person’s fault, but the employee sees a middle class white person making a big deal out of $1 and the experience gets worse from there. It’s the company’s fault, and I refuse to play their games.
Coupons are just like rebates, always a pain and never worth it in the end.
maccas once “forgot” my bacon inside my bacon and egg mcmuffin. another drive through maccas forgot to give my $10 change back and then accused me of stealing when i walked into the store to get it.
now i just dont bother. its so much hassle to get them to admit wrong!!! or get the damn order correct!!
Happened to me. I could see the purchase under pending for a couple of days after I made the purchase, then it disappeared and shows I have nothing in purchase history. Tried to call living social and never was able to speak to anyone. Oh well.
I went to the big MacDonald at the Michigan aveneu Chicago yesterday and they said they did not accept this kind of voucher and said I could go to some other stores but they did not know which one was accepting that. And it costed me $12 parking cost to park at that MacDonald even though we left immediately. That is ridulous.
As far as the McDonald’s not accepting the voucher, it’s apparently up to the individual restaurants as to whether or not they want to accept it, but the problem with that is there’s no way for customers to find out if a location is accepting them without stopping in. Quiznos sold a Groupon recently that not all restaurants participated in, but they at least had an option on the Quiznos website where you could enter your zip code and see which locations near you were actually participating in the deal, which I thought was a nice touch.
I did a similar thing with the exact same quesadilla (what? recognize that spell-check) maker. I used some store bought Philadelphia Cheesecake filling, and milk chocolate pieces.
The quesadilla maker is actually great for cooking other things I think you’d enjoy.
If you take some Pillsbury biscuit dough (preferably a package from the cheap four tube packs), split the biscuits into two groups and roll each group into a thin quesadilla sized sheet between slices of parchment paper. It’s easiest to fill the sheets and press the edges together before putting them onto the quesadilla maker, but make sure to spray first each side with non-stick spray just to be safe.
Cook until golden brown (and delicious). The biscuits cook nicely and surround whatever you choose to put inside. My favorite filling so far has been a small cubed dice of swiss cheese, ham, turkey and pepperoni. I can share pics if you’re interested.
Haven’t tried the macs yet but I love the Penne Rosa or Pesto Cavatappi that I too cannot seem to recreate at home perfectly. And the rice krispie treats are heavenly!!!!
I totally agree! Seriously, you’d think that a noodle dish would be the easiest thing to just recreate yourself at home, but they just taste so good at Noodles.
I had the same experience yesterday traveling back through West Virginia. I decided to stop for lunch and use my coupons. My daughter was at a different register and when the store clerk rang up $2.65($1.50 BigMac, $1 Fries, plus tax) she dutifully handed over the money. Being a man of principle (and a bit older…), I questioned the clerk and explained that I had already purchased the coupons. The coupons do not say “free” anywhere on them. Anyway, the manager comped my meal but I was still dissapointed that my daughter had paid. I called McDonalds and they are sending me a $5 Arch Card. I like McDonalds and am sure that the next time they do a discount program like this will not require the clerks to use multiple buttons to ring up the sale.
Yeah, the multiple button thing seems to be what’s causing the most confusion. I went to a completely different McDonald’s earlier this week and even though they had a laminated sheet of instructions on how the LivingSocial deal works right next to the register the girl ringing me up was still super confused and still told me that I needed to pay $1.50 until the manager finally came up and helped her.
I had the same problem at two different McDonald’s in two different cities just a couple of days apart. One of the locations corrected the issue after speaking with a manager. The other location refused to listen, assist, or speak with the manager, so I cancelled my order and went to another chain.
Today I called the McDonald’s Living Social number (866-919-2653) and provided my complaint. They offered a $5 Arch Card and will be sending it in the mail.
I’ve used three of these so far, and only once did they actually charge me properly (and it took several minutes). I can’t even fathom how McDonald’s of all companies could do such a poor job of rolling out this promotion. I also can’t believe that after having these things for WEEKS that the stores haven’t had re-training sessions. There’s over a million of these coupons floating around!
Doesn’t Red Lobster offer the all-you-can-eat salad, soup AND biscuits anymore? They used to have that for lunch. It’s been a very long time since we’ve gone, but they did have it at one time…
I work at Red Lobster in Waikiki.. we are always slammed in the evening. it is hard enough to make $$$ on a lunch shift.. if they had endless salad, soup and biscuits.. I would quit!!! You can get all the biscuits you want.. even though we are only supposed to give 1 biscuit for each person and one extra for the “table”, we are also not supposed to serve the biscuits until the food has arrived… biscuits are NOT meant to be a a meal or an appetizer… if you like them so much order a dozen to go.
The local Red Lobster is always crowded but I wonder if our distance from the ocean and lack of local fish/sea food joints is the main reasons.
PETA demands we re-label fish as “sea kittens,”
Sorry… our finny friends are dinner, supper, lunch, whatever.
Local Golden Corral has decent affordable fish offerings, especially at lunch time. My liver quivers with delight when non-breaded oven baked fish is offered.
Rolls, however, are not the “fancy” type but the basic plain rolls are good.
Well-taken pics above with the last one drool inducing!!!!
I am still pondering what it is about the junior bacon one-buck cheese burger that causes a mild case of indigestion within my aging decrepit body while other Wendy’s fare fails to cause the not-that-severe manifestations.
I can devour a regular Wendy’s burger, for example, the typical non-buck-burger selection when I am splurging of a double cheese burger with lettuce, onion. mayo, and tomato.
I do not believe it is the bacon causing the problem with the buck burger… based upon after-effects and lingering taste it seems it is the bun causing the problem.
This minor problem has existed for years and has reduced the amount of times I have ordered the decent deal.
I adore all value meals but the ongoing economic woes have reduced ALL my outside-the-shanty dining.
Oh man, when I was a kid my family used to buy tons of stuff from Schwan’s! I’ll have to see if they still deliver around here and give these a try. Thanks for the tip!
It took a few persistent emails, but I bypassed the Arch Card offer and got a full refund after experiencing the same problem. LivingSocial said because the complaint was beyond their five day return period they could only give a credit, which was OK except it took much more than five days for them to mail the vouchers. I guess LivingSocial and I both learned to avoid offers involving large franchises employing low wage cashiers. At least they gave a full credit.
That recipe sounds amazing! I’m definitely going to have to try it!
I actually tried deep frying some chicken wings in a waffle batter, but it didn’t work out so well. I think it might have been because I didn’t let the chicken wings cool enough after cooking them though so I had hot chicken wings coated in a cool batter being dropped into hot oil. I might have to give it another shot with some chicken and gravy balls.
If you ever make it to Washington DC, Pizzaria Paradiso in Dupont Circle makes these with a twist. They do a bottle of Alagash White ale, shot of triple sec, and fresh squeeze a whole orange into it. Absolutely delicious – the white ale works so much better than a high life!
Strips of red and green peppers in beer batter are super-delicious and dead simple. Use the batter recipe from the Joy of Cooking and don’t skip the step about letting the beer go flat overnight. It really makes a difference.
This is absolutely absurd. How can a company get away with this. The whole point of the living socials, deal finds and stuff like that across the internet is to build awareness for your company and thus gain repeat business. If anything this will turn people away from drity Mac’s.
Now as you mentioned will the loyal mac’s eater no longer eat there! HELL NO! I love those jr. chickens more than anything on this planet. But anyone who was giving mac’s a second shot will be turned off for ever.
A) this is amazing.
B) seriously, I want to buy a waffle iron just to make them now.
D) do you Americans call those chicken parts wings? Only they’re the legs of a chicken. The wings are much smaller. Over here we bizarrely call them drumsticks, but that seems less odd than calling them wings.
Thanks! What I used for these was actually the “drumette” portion of the wing. Chicken wings are made up of three portions, the “wingette,” the “drumette” (which look like small drumsticks) and then the wing tip, which is rarely used in wings since it’s so small and barely has any meat.
A lot of people here still refer to the drumette part of the wing as a drumstick, but for a lot of people the only real drumstick is the actual chicken leg itself.
Drumsticks are the leg of a chicken. These are the “drumette”.
If you were to compare it to a human arm, the “drumette” would be the portion from your shoulder to your elbow. The “wingette” would be from your elbow to your wrist. The “wing tip” would be your hand.
Oooooo, I can imagine a fresh raspberry sauce drizzled over the quesadilla would be a nice sour touch to make the sweet not seem so overwhelming. DELISH!!!!
I wish it was intentional. I’m not sure where my brain was in this, but clearly absent. I now see what you mean by wings, in my head those waffles were massive chicken leg drumsticks, but everything makes much more sense now I’ve realised the scale of it all. I think I thought they were big chicken drumsticks because I was measuring them on the scale of food awesomeness; a scale they completely destroy.
Do you still have the 800 number? I have yet to receive my booklet when I ordered back in December when it was still going on. I’ve emailed them twice about it now, once when I didn’t get it after 2 weeks and they said they would send another, and again when I never received the replacement.
OK, we’ve been deciding whether or not to try The Tower… You just made the decision a whole lot easier! Cheeto crusted chicken AND foosball? I’m so in.
Nick I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one. I think it tastes strikingly similar to Original Dr. Pepper and it tastes infinitely better than Diet Dr Pepper.
I’m pretty sure that was how much I used, but you could always add more. My dough was super crumbly as well and I just kept mixing it and mixing it until it wasn’t anymore.
First off, I have used Living Social a number of times, and never had an issue. This is a McDonald’s issue. They have done a piss-poor job with setting up their POS system (& save the puns), and an even worse job at notifying local stores as to what it is all about. I have been to four different stores trying to use the coupons, and have had different results. And every time I use it the entire staff try to figure out how to ring it up. Look at the receipt and it says “living social big mac 1.50”, when it should not ring up any amount. I am just as frustrated as everyone else, but we need to focus our complaints to McDonald’s customer service at: 1-866-919-2653. Bottom line to me, though, now that I have tried Big Mac’s for the first time in a while, and they are not even as good as they once were. I for one, will probably never eat one again after I use up my vouchers.
Oh my GOD. One of the reasons I love your blog is that I always discover some dish I’ve never heard of. Wisconsin might as well be a different planet to me. That being said, the idea of a mac and cheese pizza is brilliant! I love mac and cheese! I love pizza! Is there tomato sauce underneath? A creamy garlic sauce? No sauce? What kind of cheese(s)?
I would really appreciate it if you could break down the construction of the mac and cheese pizza for me. It doesn’t have to be in measurements, just the basic idea would be great, enough so that I can try making this at home! Thanks!
It’s basically just macaroni noodles and Cheddar cheese and then what seemed like sort of a white sauce, but no tomato sauce.
There wasn’t a ton of sauce though, so if you just used a really creamy cheese sauce on your macaroni noodles that would probably work as well, but if you just search Google for “white pizza sauce recipe” you should be able to find a bunch of different white sauces that you can make that would probably work with it.
Thanks! I did a google search and there are a couple variations on mac and cheese pizza but most of them have some kind of tomato sauce mixed in. I did, however, find one blog where they used a thin layer of creme fraiche as the “sauce” before laying down the macaroni and then the cheese. I think that is actually brilliant since it would add some tang to it. I look forward to giving it a try using fresh pizza dough from TJ or WF.
Nick, love the website. Any other pizza places you recommend in MKE? I know I’m going a little off topic, but thought you might be a good guy to ask. I’ve been mourning the loss of first Pizza Man and then Olive Pit. Your Aunt Maria said you might be a resource.
I must know what kind of marshmallows you’re using here. It almost looks like they’re little flat “sandwich cut” marshmallows, or did you do that yourself?
Seriously Nick! Just open up a restaurant already! I would eat there everyday. Good lord if I could actually eat some of these homemade concoctions without having to make them all myself, that would be delightful.
Genius! Whenever I make mac and cheese, I always have a portion leftover. Making an omelet or frittata out of the leftovers would be perfect! I showed this to a friend of mine and he said,”looking at that, I wonder if he thought ‘this is going to be so much poop later.'”
Those look tasty…the only wing places we have in my area (upstate-ish NY) are Buffalo Wild Wings and Planet Wings… Would love to see one of those Coke Freestyle machines in action too. What was the flavor of the Hawaiian ones like? Sweet BBQ? Whenever I think Hawaiian I think “ham and pineapple” (like the pizza).
The Hawaiian wings sort of reminded me of sweet and sour chicken, although not quite as sweet. It’s funny because up until a couple weeks ago I’d never even tried Hawaiian flavored wings and since then I’ve tried them at two different places.
I never worked for a national chain or any chain for that matter, but my guess the confusion with the two button discount has to do with profit sharing and price differences nationwide. A Big Mac’s price will vary from city to city, so the first button push must bring the price down to $1.50, which is what each franchise will receive when they submit the vouchers to Ronald.
I’m actually pretty surprised this promotion went so badly as while we all know service will vary from location to location, McDonalds is very into manager training and making sure their brand is consistent nation/worldwide.
We just got home from Vegas and stayed at planet Hollywood and are at PBR every day…sometimes twice a day haha. Best food ever! When I came home I stocked my house with everything I need to replicate everything I had there!
I love the new Coke Freestyle machine. It was almost overwhelming to have so many different flavors to choose from. However, the machines definitely make consumers feel like they are getting a “premium” soda.
Thanks for the great blog post. Keep sharing!
About two years ago, a wings place opened up in my downtown, it serves 50 different flavors of wings, and has since become my go to restaurant. The first time I went I also got the garlic parm wings, but found them too salty, however they have a szechuan flavor and a oranage ginger that I am constantly drawn to. It is my firm belief that all places should serve wings, it would make the world a better place.
In appearance, I detect a general somewhat akin to a mac and cheese taco-like view.
I have always had difficulty manipulating foods when cooking them.
However, some stuff is so basic that even I can do the deed; such as mac and cheese cooked then placed in a glass oven-ready dish atop tuna with a small amount of tuna mixed in.
I just woke up from a nap on my extremely affordable Tempur-Pedic® bed and saw this comment. Did you know that the Tempur-Pedic® technology was originally developed by NASA? Anyway, I’m sorry that you feel that way.
I actually planned on writing about the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine and its 135+ flavor choices prior to Wingstop inviting me in for a visit (where I sampled four of their nine delicious wing flavors.)
Wait, what was I talking about again? Perhaps I should take some Ginkgo biloba to help with this sudden memory loss…
That was a signature app in a restaurant I used to work at. Add some lowrys to the cap crunch, and thy will turn out awesome, but wreck a standard deep fryer basket from the carmelization.
I, too, have yet to receive my booklet of vouchers, and have started my research today on where they might be! Thanks for the numbers. Somehow, I think I may be out $13…
I was truly inspired by your creation and used the inspiration for a great Super Bowl snack.
I took the waffles and made them a little more savory using a chive, Parmesan, and maple batter on a baked wing. I also paired it with a blue cheese maple syrup sauce. (Check it out here: http://whatimade4dinner.tumblr.com/post/17129086100 )
Those look awesome! I’ve been meaning to make some again and this time add a nice thick breading to the chicken wings and maybe add bacon or chocolate chips to the waffles, but I still haven’t gotten around to it.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who would order the Chocolate Chunk Chicken Frosty? When I was younger, one of my favorite things to do would be dipping my chickens in a Frosty!
Nice recipe for the beer cheese soup! Thanks for sharing.
Also, this is the first time I have ever seen a pretzel soup bowl. Is it the texture of a soft pretzel? Where do you get them? I swear, Wisconsin is like an entirely different country. Love it.
South African KFC used to serve something called a Cheesy Fiesta, a chicken breast with a cheese-flavoured breading, cheese sauce and a slice of cheese.
I had this random idea pop into my head the other day and was immediately reminded of the concoctions you make.
At KFC, I want to get cole slaw and chicken and make egg rolls then dip them in gravy. I also thought to make some sweet and sour sauce and coat a couple pieces of extra crispy to make a full meal. It sounds so good in my head, hahaha.
Believe me Nick, growing up in Chicago, you can only take sliders once or twice a year. But, of course, when you grow up with them, and are available to you all the time, it doesn’t quite seem the treat as you see it! Enjoy my friend….I feel about cheese the way you feel about White Castles…I’m a cheese junkie!
I’ve definitely never had any deep fried meatballs so I’ll have to give it a try! It might be cool to bread them with breadcrumbs before deep frying them.
Nick: I love your site and many of your ideas… gonna try the cheesy poof crusted chicken a.s.a.p. As for Dr. Pepper 10… Screw Dr. Pepper/Snapple and anything they try from here on out. I hate saying this, because I grew up drinking Dr. Pepper, but I hope they screw the pooch this next year! Seems the Greedheads at Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group sued the Dublin Dr. Pepper Company, because Dublin Dr. Pepper violated their business agreement. Now legally, Dr. Pepper/Sapple Group is in the ‘right’, but morally they are wrong! Dublin Dr. Pepper was made to cease their production of the original cane sugar recipe, because they offered the product on the internet. The Dublin agreement confined them to a 40 mile radius around Dublin, Texas. The little bottling plant in Dublin, Texas was in no danger of cutting into Big Dr. Pepper’s margin, but greedheads being greedheads ended the production of a 120+ year old Texas icon. I wish nothing but bad things for the Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group. In closing, your site is awesome! I tried DP-10 before their stupidity & my boycott, and I have to agree with you DP-10 is the pits.
Just happened to me in small town Appomattox, VA! I stood my ground and I guess they finally hit that second button to make it free. They also had the laminated sheet. I guess she completed the first few steps and then just stopped and never finished the rest.
Didnt get a credit card receipt though… I will be checking my credit card statement. If there is anything other than the $0.55 charge for my cup of ice water, there will be a charge back.
I live in Canada and for some reason it is hard to find cheese curds in my city. This burger looks delicious, I’m glad you like poutine, it is one of my favorite foods, in fact the first food I ate when I got back to Canada from my 2 day trip in the US was a heaping pile of poutine.
I have wanted to make these for some time now, made them last night. I used some finely diced onions since I didn’t have any onion powder and sprinkled fresh parsley on top instead of the dried. My wife laughed at me for using pancake mix for biscuits, but she was fully on board when she smelled them coming out of the oven. These were so delicious. I was ticked at having to buy a big box of pancake mix, but it will definitely get used quickly.

August 25, 2010 at 10:59 am (14 years ago)I like Tazino’s non-traditional pizzas better than their straight-forward stuff like sausage and mushroom. The Tailgater (bratwurst) pizza is really good, as is the BBQ chicken and chicken bacon ranch.

Dan (A Duo of Chefs)
August 26, 2010 at 12:23 pm (14 years ago)I tried the burger at the fair and it was good. However, the meat tasted more like a breakfast sausage (it was a bit sweeter than a cheeseburger patty). So I think the name was a bit misleading, but the product was still delicious.
joe dione
August 26, 2010 at 1:43 pm (14 years ago)nick u made that wrong u gotta flip the doughnut inside out so the icing melts into the burger. trust me on this one make it like that and add some bacon it will blow ur mind. if theres one thing i know its food i still eat out 2 times every single day.
Nick
August 26, 2010 at 1:47 pm (14 years ago)Oh yeah, that makes sense. If I ever make another one I’ll flip it the other way around.
Brian
October 26, 2014 at 10:56 pm (10 years ago)You should also toast the doughnut, I just put it in a hot pan with the inside down until it’s golden brown, and I only use Krispy Kreme doughnuts, they seem to come out better.

August 27, 2010 at 3:10 pm (14 years ago)I notice that your final photo – the one taken after you’d already eaten half the burger – is shaky. Is this because you were on the brink of a diabetic coma?

August 27, 2010 at 3:56 pm (14 years ago)Possibly. Either that or I was just so excited to finish eating my delicious burger that I just snapped the photo too quickly.

September 21, 2010 at 10:03 am (14 years ago)Awesome burger, Nick! We ate at a FiveGuys burger place in Georgia. It wasn’t nearly as big, but included lots of toppings and was very tasty. We ordered a regular size fries. I don’t know if it was a mistake or if they typically WAY overfill the fry container, but our bag was practically filled with fries when I opened it. Easily 2-3 times what would fit in the container.
Aunt Jenny
September 21, 2010 at 10:04 am (14 years ago)Oh, I forgot to say, the fries are natural, skin on, and cooked in peanut oil – Very Good!
Nick
September 21, 2010 at 10:09 am (14 years ago)I love Five Guys. We have a couple locations here in Milwaukee now. That pretty much always happens with the fries. I’ll order a small order and they still usually completely fill the bag with them.
Aunt Jenny
September 24, 2010 at 7:54 am (14 years ago)Oooo…I didn’t know there were any in Milwaukee. We’ll have to look for them!
Nick
September 24, 2010 at 9:58 am (14 years ago)Yep, there’s on at Bayshore Mall, one at Mayfair Mall and one right off the freeway on the way out towards Madison.
Mel
September 24, 2010 at 11:52 am (14 years ago)I say you just have two orders of the mozzarella sticks next time. The meatballs look disappointing. At least there was a breadstick.

October 8, 2010 at 8:15 pm (14 years ago)Nick, you are sooo funny!! Alvin and I really enjoyed your video. Oh, and we’d each like 5 chicken cordon blue’s and 5 beef burgundy’s at the wedding, OK? That seems like a reasonable serving…
@quapet
October 11, 2010 at 11:47 am (14 years ago)I’m with Aunt Jenny, I’ll take 5 Chicken Cordon Blues. Don’t worry, I will assemble my own sandwich at the table with the dinner rolls. 🙂

October 18, 2010 at 9:17 pm (14 years ago)Ha! 19 bites. That is a 1.9 bites per patty. No way I could eat even a little McD’s burger in less than 2 bites. Hats off to you!! And better start working out, or it’ll be belt buckles off to you too! 🙂

EatWisconsin
October 21, 2010 at 10:11 am (14 years ago)Never heard of Dino’s. I think the best in town is probably Jake’s Deli on North Ave, followed by the Rochester Deli in Waukesha. Benji’s is pretty good too and I have heard people rave about McBob’s but haven’t tried it myself.
I am more of a pastrami guy anyhow.
Nick
October 21, 2010 at 11:47 am (14 years ago)Yeah, it’s just in a little strip mall on 60th and Silver Spring, so it’s not in the best neighborhood. McBob’s is great. It’s pretty close to where I live so I get reuben sandwiches from there about once a month.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood let me know and We’ll go eat there!

Jeeg
November 23, 2010 at 11:11 am (14 years ago)Wow. The Turmeaken makes our forays into the Double Meat sandwich at Nerd Lunch seem tame by comparison.
How did the turkey hold up in all this? It seems like it could easily get overpowered by the meatball marinara sauce and everything else going on in that stack.
Nick
November 23, 2010 at 11:21 am (14 years ago)It held up pretty well. I think that having the meatball sub in the middle kept it from being too overpowering.
Peef
November 24, 2010 at 10:26 am (14 years ago)Glad you finally got a chance to get to Chili Lili’s. However, I’m surprised that this wasn’t about the chili parfait. Maybe you missed it on the menu, but it’s 3 pounds of chili, and pound of cheese, and some other fixings. Eat it all by yourself in 50 minutes or less and it’s free. Now that’s Dude Food!
Nick
November 24, 2010 at 12:55 pm (14 years ago)I did see that and a couple people have told me about it, but since I’m not usually a chili fan I wanted to just give Chili Lili’s a try first. Also, I’m all about eating challenges, but I’m not sure how my body would react to that much chili and cheese.As far as I know no one has finished it in under 50 minutes yet.

November 29, 2010 at 12:04 pm (14 years ago)Awesome! I would have put the apple pie in, just for good measure. I love the deviled egg. That might work nice on a hamburger in lieu of a fried egg.
Jeff
November 29, 2010 at 12:15 pm (14 years ago)I used to hate beans in chili but I came around and now I love beans in all forms. Started off with black beans and black bean dip and worked my way up to others. Still think most baked bean dishes are disgusting though. Don’t like the sweet sauce.
EatWisconsin
December 9, 2010 at 10:55 am (14 years ago)Just thought of something based on your egg comments. I too love eggs on burgers. So I was thinking what if you took White Castles (either from the restaurant, frozen, or the DIY method) and added fried quail eggs to them. So you are getting the awesomeness of White Castle with a nice little egg on top. The new Asian Market on 27th and Grange sells quail eggs for pretty cheap. I might need to try it. Might even top my Ramp Castle. http://eatwisconsin.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/ramp-castle/
Nick
December 9, 2010 at 1:52 pm (14 years ago)I love that idea! I should buy a crave case and then fry up 30 quail eggs for the sliders!

December 19, 2010 at 5:19 pm (14 years ago)This reminds me of something I’ve made a few times that I love.
It’s a store-bought pizza crust, with sauce spread over it (BBQ, marinara or whatever you prefer) and leftover homemade mac ‘n cheese crumbled on top. A little extra shredded cheese and some time in the oven and you have awesome mac ‘n pizza.
Nick
December 19, 2010 at 7:17 pm (14 years ago)That sounds awesome! I think I might need to try it!

December 20, 2010 at 10:48 am (14 years ago)Nice. I have a poutine related post coming to EatWisconsin this week. More of a restaurant review but we did have poutine and it was awesome.
Nick
December 20, 2010 at 11:03 am (14 years ago)Yeah, I can’t believe I never tried it before. It seems like it should be more popular in Wisconsin since it consists of fries covered in cheese curds, but I don’t even remember ever seeing it anywhere in Wisconsin.

Nick
December 27, 2010 at 6:10 pm (14 years ago)I was originally planning on using ground beef, but I had some ground turkey in the freezer that had been in there for a while so I figured that I should get rid of it.

I bet you could recreate the omelet at home with a better pineapple ratio
Nick
January 3, 2011 at 11:31 am (14 years ago)I should give it a try. For some reason I’m terrible at making omelets though. I always try to flip the one half over too early and then the eggs always just run all over the rest of the pan.

Nick
February 11, 2011 at 5:16 pm (14 years ago)Yeah, it worked out pretty well. Each blogger had to choose a separate cheese to use as the main cheese in their dish and by the time I selected mine a lot of them were already spoken for, but it turned out really good with the Colby Jack.
Paavo
February 11, 2011 at 6:28 pm (14 years ago)I…I…have no words…nom…nom…nommmm. My first thought was, wow, greasy, but pre-baking the crust probably cut down on that I’ll bet.
Nick
February 14, 2011 at 10:09 am (14 years ago)Yeah, after I pre-baked the crust and top I dabbed it with a paper towel to get rid of all the grease. The finished pie wasn’t really greasy at all.

February 22, 2011 at 8:32 pm (14 years ago)the burger looks impressive as hell. the pizzas themselves – not so much. i think you probably made the wisest serving choice.
Nick
February 24, 2011 at 5:47 pm (14 years ago)As far as frozen pizzas go Home Run Inn pizzas are actually pretty good (and I’m not just saying that because they sent me some free ones). I think the grease from the burger made the bottom pizza look a little less appealing, but if I were trying to eat healthy and wanted something I could eat quickly I’d probably pick one of these over something similar like a Lean Pocket.

February 23, 2011 at 11:57 am (14 years ago)Instead of fries on the side maybe breadstick fries?

March 11, 2011 at 10:19 am (14 years ago)Yeah, Bill’s rules. They also have a pretty sweet hot dog and beer special.

March 15, 2011 at 12:37 pm (14 years ago)I just tried this for lunch today and it was very good.
Wee Jamie
March 17, 2011 at 7:42 pm (14 years ago)If the pie is made with ground beef it is a cottage pie. Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb. Still sounds good though.
Nick
March 17, 2011 at 8:15 pm (14 years ago)Oh really? I never knew that. There are a lot of places around here that sell them with ground beef and call it “shepherd’s pie.”
Wee Jamie
March 21, 2011 at 4:17 pm (14 years ago)Oddly enough Shepherds do not traditionally have a lot of access to beef, but they do have plenty of lamb. 🙂
P.S. Only stumbled across this blog a few weeks ago and have already started planning to visit a number of the places you have written about when I’m in the States next year.
Nick
March 21, 2011 at 4:20 pm (14 years ago)Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll have to try and find one somewhere that actually uses lamb and give it a try!
Kellin
March 21, 2011 at 11:21 am (14 years ago)Haha! You finally made it!

Doves
March 25, 2011 at 8:39 am (14 years ago)Wow! that is a lot of ketchup!
Nick
March 25, 2011 at 11:15 am (14 years ago)Ha ha yeah, I hate using those little cups for my ketchup so any time I’m at a fast food place I just turn a soda lid upside down and fill that with ketchup instead.
Echo
March 27, 2011 at 5:28 pm (14 years ago)Hahaha, trust me it wasn’t isolated. I’ve tried that sandwich and mine looked just like yours did. The only thing that made it tolerable was the au jus I had leftover from my french dip lol.
Ketchup with curly fries? Ever tried the Arby’s Sauce with curly fries instead? Much much better 😀
Nick
March 27, 2011 at 5:40 pm (14 years ago)Nope, I’ve never tried dipping my fries in Arby’s Sauce. I’ll have to give it a shot next time!
Mike
August 11, 2015 at 1:40 pm (9 years ago)I had the sandwich. It tasted good and I noticed you ate the whole thing…as did I.
Oh, and skip the Arby’s sauce. Red. Ranch.
Aunt Jenny
March 28, 2011 at 2:48 pm (14 years ago)That looks delicious!!
Jesse L. Cairns
March 28, 2011 at 10:56 pm (14 years ago)This was not an isolated incident. I had one today and it was exactly as you described, plus was so unrelentingly salty and gross that I threw the second half away. Avoid like the plague.
AJ
March 30, 2011 at 10:14 am (14 years ago)Mmmm….
Jeff
March 30, 2011 at 11:41 am (14 years ago)Love the Barnbuster. My wife had the tenderloin “salad” which was outstanding. I want to try the blue cheese burger next time I go there. The soups are also pretty good.
Peef
April 1, 2011 at 1:09 pm (14 years ago)Congrats! Maybe you can do something with Arby’s too. Might I suggest Good Mood Dude Food as their new slogan?
I hope you don’t forget about us common folk.
Nick
April 1, 2011 at 1:29 pm (14 years ago)I love the slogan!

Nice one dude! Actually this was a really great prank!
Mary
April 2, 2011 at 10:29 am (14 years ago)I tried a slight variation on this and just used tomatoes instead of the bacon and avacado. It was delicious with the Pepperidge Farm Five Cheese Texas toast though. I also added more cheese.
AJ

April 4, 2011 at 11:15 am (14 years ago)Nick, I really hate to say this, man. But, I have lost a ton or respect for you.
Ketchup? On a hot dog? Really?
I thought you were better than this.
Nick
April 4, 2011 at 11:38 am (14 years ago)Hey man, I love ketchup on hot dogs and I’m not afraid to admit it!
Zachary Jacob Zblewski

Michael
April 7, 2011 at 12:25 pm (14 years ago)Well, although I love the new burger you have created (going to get one myself soon), it falls short in the sauce department. The sauce on the Mega Tamago is, let us say, unique. It’s more like wasabi mayo tartar sauce, if I remember correctly.
Amanda
April 8, 2011 at 12:54 pm (14 years ago)Wow. When this stuff happens to me I always say to myself- this sucks now but it will make a heck of a story later!
“I’m not trying to be difficult, but if anyone knows the difference between something that’s deep fried and something that isn’t it’s me and this clearly isn’t deep fried. ” – I LOLed at this one 😀
Daniel
April 8, 2011 at 1:15 pm (14 years ago)I hate reading articles like this because I know that I could go there today and have fantastic service. People are susceptible to bad days, and the second you stop thinking of them as robots that should bow to your every whim, you’ll grow to be more patient.
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 2:20 pm (14 years ago)Daniel, I know that everyone has bad days, but it wasn’t just one person at this restaurant. The entire staff they had on hand that night didn’t seem to care about anything, which is a terrible way to run a business. I would never think of someone in the food service industry as a “robot that should bow to my every whim,” and what we were asking for of the restaurant certainly wasn’t unreasonable at all. Also, judging from the reactions of the other diners at Kiku that night we certainly weren’t the only ones who had a bad experience.
Matt
April 8, 2011 at 4:01 pm (14 years ago)As someone with experience as wait staff and management in a restaurant, the service his party received was absolutely inexcusable. His order should have been corrected and comped. His server should have at a bare minimum been around to explain the delay in the food and refill drinks. And simply, the server should not have been arguing with the guests.
Don
April 8, 2011 at 11:58 pm (14 years ago)Yes, his meal should have been comped but it seems he’d rather write a review about how terrible his service was rather than do anything to fix it as it happened.
Frankly Nick, it’s because you didn’t bother to complain that your server can get away with doing those sort of things. Next time your server brings you something you didn’t order you call the manager over right away and get it fixed. Then, instead of writing about how terrible the service was you can write about how quickly the management was to fix the problem.
Nick
April 9, 2011 at 8:58 am (14 years ago)We did ask to speak to a manager and that’s when our waiter just returned instead to argue with us more. I’m not sure if he was the manager on duty or what, but we pretty much did everything we could to try and fix the situation. Again, it wasn’t only our server, but every single person they had working that night seemed to have the same type of attitude.
Raiders757
May 22, 2011 at 1:28 pm (14 years ago)Don, if you go back and read the article again, you’ll notice that he did complain. Given the response he received, Nick was beyond justified in writing this review. There is no defending the staff in this situation, and I’m a little surprised at the grief Nick has gotten from some of you.
Corey
April 8, 2011 at 4:24 pm (14 years ago)You’re an idiot.
Whammy!
April 8, 2011 at 4:35 pm (14 years ago)Wow, are you the Dan that signed up for Yelp, rated this place 1 star and pasted a link to this article? What a troll.
http://i.imgur.com/hcZOq.jpg
Michael
April 8, 2011 at 10:48 pm (14 years ago)If you’re in the service industry, you are expected to perform as your job requires. Having a bad day should have no bearing on how well you perform a SERVICE. You can’t excuse crappy service with, “oh, he’s having a bad day.”
Max
April 10, 2011 at 2:46 pm (14 years ago)I’ve eaten at Kiku before. I agree that the service there is shoddy and on a good day at that! I was there on a mid-afternoon, with only 9 other customers. Took nearly an hour (around 50 minutes) to get Udon noodles. The waiter didn’t stop to refill drinks once in that time, and the host didn’t even bother to ask how everything was.
Meanwhile the other staff could be seen behind the bar, milling around. Incredible
Sam
May 25, 2011 at 7:53 pm (14 years ago)I infact, know exactly who this particular server is and it is also, the manager of the restaurant. I went to Kiku on 3 separate occasions, hoping to receive quality service and each time, was let down and the service was completely inexcusable. I have worked in the service industry for nearly 8 years now and never have I been more appaulled. Never, I repeat never, should the manager of a restaurant yell and point his finger at a calm, respectful, paying customer.
Ed
April 8, 2011 at 2:24 pm (14 years ago)It’s understandable for a person to have a bad day. If however you’re on a tilt like the waiter was, someone should do something about the situation. The manager or owner should have taken the waiter off the floor.
The damage a waiter with a bad attitude is much worse than any lost revenue from being down a staff member. Especially with comments like those the waiter threw at the table who had the will to leave when they were ignored. That’s completely uncalled for in the service industry. People aren’t robots in the service industry but neither should they bring their own personal problems into the work place. In this case, their workplace involves interactions with others. What if this were an office? Is it ok to say about another co-worker, “Fuck’em?” No, that’s not acceptable at all, why should it be acceptable in a restaurant?
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 2:32 pm (14 years ago)Ed, I totally agree, and it was actually a different waiter that made the “Fuck ’em” comment, not ours. That’s one of the things that really made this a bad experience, that no one at all who was working there that night seemed to care about anything.
Brent
April 8, 2011 at 2:28 pm (14 years ago)This sounds like a story you should submit to Consumerist
J
April 8, 2011 at 2:58 pm (14 years ago)I had a similar conversation with a waiter about a pizza. We’d ordered a pizza that is supposed to have scoops of ricotta. We’ve eaten it many times and know what it looks and tastes like. When the waiter brought our pizza, it clearly had goat cheese instead of ricotta. It smelled, tasted, and looked like goat cheese. Neither of us like goat cheese. The conversation:
Us: “Could we please see a menu? We want to verify the kind of cheese this pizza is supposed to have.”
Waiter: “Goat cheese, but I’ll bring you a menu.”
Menu: ricotta cheese.
Us: “Well, the menu says ricotta cheese and this is clearly goat cheese – ”
Waiter: snatches pizza away before we can finish talking. Brings back a few minutes later “I showed this to the chef. It’s definitely goat cheese.”
Us: “There seems to be a mistake.”
Waiter: “Well, what do you want me to do about it?”
Us: “Can you bring us a new pizza, but without any cheese to be on the safe side?”
So we got a new cheeseless pizza and the waiter refused to wait on us for the rest of the evening. We wouldn’t have left a tip, but the backwaiters (who usually refill water and bread baskets) were very attentive and we did not want to shortchange them from their share of the tip. Makes a funny story though.
Hertzey
April 8, 2011 at 3:31 pm (14 years ago)Note to self, do not eat at Kiku if in Milwaukee.
I know people have bad days, but yell expletives in an environment like that shows that you don’t care. Arguing about a menu item is ridiculous. I have been very lucky with sushi spots in the Twin Cities. Last week I was a Fushi-yugi and had a really good roll called “Spider” it had tempura soft shell crab in the middle. At least now you know to avoid this one.
Tim
April 8, 2011 at 3:43 pm (14 years ago)Why did you bother paying? I would have gotten up and left the moment the waiter tried to argue with me about my order. Actually, no, I would have left at the half-hour mark.
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 4:14 pm (14 years ago)If we’d just left they probably would have called the cops or something so I’m not sure if it would have been worth the trouble of dealing with that.
In retrospect we probably should have just left before that, but we had eight people and four different cars, so meeting somewhere else after all that would have been a pain. Plus, by the time our food finally did get there it was pretty late and I think we were all so hungry at that point that we were just grateful that it was finally there.
bonmot
April 8, 2011 at 4:53 pm (14 years ago)I hate to be “that guy” but it’s “faze,” not “phase.” A phase is a stage or period in a process of change or development. To faze is to disturb or disconcert.
But I’m sorry you received such horrible service! Perhaps the restaurant was going through an awkward phase – don’t let it faze you!
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 5:02 pm (14 years ago)Ha ha, I’m actually glad you pointed that out. I just fixed it. Usually I’m super crazy about grammar, spelling and using the correct forms of words, so I’m actually a little surprised that I missed it.
Kurt
April 8, 2011 at 5:33 pm (14 years ago)Amen. I had my second one of these last night. I was very disappointed by the condition of the first sandwich I purchased and this one was no different…bread was flat, meat, cheese and bacon was a snarled mess…
I emailed a complaint and received a quick courteous response offering a replacement combo and inquiring as to the address of the store.
My reply:
Thank you for your response. The store where the sandwich was purchased is at *** **** ****. I would like to add that this is the second Angus I have had from this location and it was in a similar condition…so I don’t believe this was an anomaly.
I realize that there is a serious challenge in meeting the expectations for appearance that are created by advertising.
Food artists spend enormous amounts of time making a sandwich look the way it does for television and print advertising and it is a difficult task to implement an efficient, repeatable and scalable process to get something out the door that looks even close to it.
Allow me to make a few suggestions. I have worked in the restaurant business and know just enough about food prep to be dangerous.
From my observation last evening, the meat, cheese and bacon contents of the sandwich are pre-assembled in paper boats and microwaved when needed. In a much less hectic world, the meat would be sliced to order which would produce the loft seen in the advertised images, but that is probably impractical.
At the very least, heat the beef separately and add the cheese, bacon and sauce when the sandwich is assembled…it would make for a much more appealing presentation than the liquid, microwaved conglomerate that I received. The temperature and texture of the roll I received may even suggest that the whole thing was microwaved, but I was not able to observe that part of the process.
So…bottom line: Shouldn’t I have something better to do than to thrash on the condition of a $6 sandwich? Probably, but there is an element of principle to this. If an expectation is created, you should deliver. If I am convinced by the image and presentation of a product to stop and purchase it, the product should be at least as good as that image. Anything else is misrepresentation. It will make any future product suspect and not worth the risk of future visits. This is the stuff of maintaining a loyal and satisfied customer base and, ultimately, market share.
Kurt
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 5:36 pm (14 years ago)I love your final paragraph because it’s pretty much the exact same way I feel. It’s like I said in my review, I know that my food isn’t going to look EXACTLY like the picture in their ads, but when it’s not even in the same ballpark is when I have a problem.

You ignorant hick – they should have given you dog food wrapped in newspaper.
But what can you expect from Wisconsin?
Nick
April 8, 2011 at 5:46 pm (14 years ago)I’m pretty sure I’ve had similar maki rolls in places like L.A. and Las Vegas… Who knows though, maybe they just put those on their menu for the visitors they get from Wisconsin.
Sarah
April 8, 2011 at 6:00 pm (14 years ago)Wow. Something like that happened to me at a Japanese restaurant where we’re regulars except that the waitress was more a bit on the dim side than trying to be rude. She forgot to put in our order on a very busy night, forgot about allergies and also brought us the wrong food. She actually had the courage to tell us straight-up that our food was taking an extra long time because she’d forgotten to ring it in, and so she’d asked for some quick to make appetizers so we’d at least have something ot munch on. In any case, I could hardly eat anything because of the food mix ups and it was getting really late – I just wanted to go home and eat something safe. Management wasn’t in that night, but the next time we went in and told our story (because we’d asked if the nice, but very-bad-at-her-job waitress was working and if she was, could she _not_ serve us again) the owner comped our meal that night and gave us a certificate for the next time. So, maybe if you talk to the owner/manager, they might at least refund your meal and give you an incentive to come back again. It would also help to gauge whether the staff acted that way because they’re treated badly by management, in which case the restaurant is probably a lost cause.
Hawkeye
April 9, 2011 at 12:06 pm (14 years ago)Great report Nick. I’ve been an avid reader for some time now. You strike me as a reasonable guy–well, except for some of your dining feats.
I’m not sure what else you could’ve done, and I think it’s absolutely fair to report your experience. The servers who posted complaints above seem overly petty and defensive. I don’t think the business owner’s maxim is “the server is always right.” Yeah, there are asshole customers out there. That sucks, and that’s part of having a job where you interact with other humans. But this seems like a service breakdown. And if servers find serving difficult or unpleasant, they should try a different job, like public school teacher. Or if they have a problem dealing with people, maybe try toll booth attendant or night watchmen.
Keep rockin’ Nick.
Nick
April 9, 2011 at 1:13 pm (14 years ago)Thanks! I’m actually extremely reasonable when it comes to stuff like this, but our experience that night was just so unbelievable to not mention it. Based on some of the other reviews I’ve read about Kiku on Yelp and Urbanspoon it looks like quite a few other people have had similar experiences there as well.

Zachary Jacob Zblewski
April 14, 2011 at 12:29 pm (14 years ago)A friend of mine recommended this place to me last time I was passing through Milwaukee. I’m glad we decided we didn’t want sushi that night and went somewhere else.
How was the service the first night you went? Did it still take them an hour or so to bring anything out? I wonder what they do for the hour from when they take your order until they bring it out.
Nick
April 14, 2011 at 12:35 pm (14 years ago)Yeah, it’s usually pretty slow service, but never that slow. Before that though I’d only been there during the week when there were usually only three or four tables of people in there.
It’s not even the fact that it took so long that bothered us, it was just the terrible service all around and our waiter continually arguing with us.
Whammy!
April 15, 2011 at 3:19 pm (14 years ago)Double Whopper w/cheese add bacon, Tendergrill: would have saved you some dough…and you would have had cheese like the Meat Monster Whopper does.

Kirsty
April 17, 2011 at 7:57 am (14 years ago)That looks amazing! My mum (from Scotland) used to make macaroni cheese (baconless) but added curry powder to the cheese sauce – it is amazing, not too much but a hint of spice – I also add mustard, sometimes English for heat and sometimes American for flavour and savouriness. Yum. I was going to make the traditional roast this afternoon – beef/yorkshires/horseradish/Jersey Royal potatoes/veg but I made need to make some Mac for the side now :0)
Kirsty
April 17, 2011 at 8:04 am (14 years ago)Looks and sounds delicious – have you tried halloumi? I like to cut it in quite thick slices rub some olive oil on it with tons of pepper and griddle it getting some nice charred crunchy marks on it, lovely in a sandwich. It also takes lots of flavourings/spices very well and you can squeeze lemon juice over it after you have cooked it – amazing :0)
Nick
April 17, 2011 at 2:54 pm (14 years ago)I actually never even heard of halloumi until I read your comment, but I was just reading about it online and it sounds pretty good. I’ll have to try and find some place near me that sells it and give it a try!
Nick
April 17, 2011 at 6:15 pm (14 years ago)You can add bacon to your Whopper? I never even knew that.
Good catch on the cheese, I totally forgot about that! It’s weird too because it seems like almost every single time I’ve ordered a Whopper they ask me if I want cheese on it and they didn’t this time.

J Spencer
April 25, 2011 at 12:59 pm (14 years ago)I actually thought you found this at Miller Park. I went this season and found out that they discontinued the Mac & Cheese stand (second level/home plate area) and replaced it with a sliced pork/beef sandwich stand. Sadface.
If you do go to the fourth level, they have a “Meat Parfait” stand featuring mashed potatoes. I haven’t tried it yet, but if you do, I would appreciate any comments.
Jen
Nick
April 25, 2011 at 1:01 pm (14 years ago)Nope, I made it at home, but I actually submitted this as an entry earlier this year when they had a contest to bring a new food item to Miller Park. I ended up not even being one of the finalists though.
J Spencer
April 25, 2011 at 5:46 pm (14 years ago)That’s probably because they thought the Mac & Cheese stand was coming back. And they’d probably charge an arm and a leg for something like you made. Maybe that’s what detered them. It looks good though.
Aunt Jenny
April 28, 2011 at 10:15 am (14 years ago)Nick, this reminded me of something I tried to do when I was young. 7-up had an ad campaign where they called themselves “the Un-cola”. In some ads, they showed an “un-burger” which was a hamburger with the fixings – lettuce, tomato, onion – on the inside. I thought this looked so delicious I wanted to make one myself. Needless to say, I discovered the same thing you did. Hamburgers shrink!
Tim
April 28, 2011 at 11:30 am (14 years ago)Significant shrinkage?

Nick
April 28, 2011 at 8:18 pm (14 years ago)No way! She’s totally real! She manages a bar though so she works lots of nights, which gives me plenty of time to make stuff like this.
Derrick
April 29, 2011 at 12:10 am (14 years ago)you have to leave a thumb print in the patty, it reduces the shrinkage.

April 29, 2011 at 4:45 pm (14 years ago)I bet it would be awesome with Velveeta Shells & Cheese. Let me know how it turns out if you ever try it!
Erin
May 2, 2011 at 11:26 am (14 years ago)that looks so good! i’ve been wanting dunkin’ donuts/baskin robins to combine stuff for years! who wouldnt enjoy a donut ice cream sandwich? i should ask if they can do that for me the next time i go there. if not, then i can just order 2 donuts and get a cup of ice cream and make my own!
Nick
May 2, 2011 at 11:31 am (14 years ago)A donut ice cream sandwich would be super good!
Tampa Bay Food Monster
May 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm (14 years ago)yeah i’d eat this one, too. make it spicy popcorn chicken, and you’ve got a hit.
if they don’t start putting these items on their menus, they are idiots. this is genius.
Amanda
May 5, 2011 at 10:12 am (14 years ago)I have wondered about this place too when I see the sign on the interstate between Madison and Chicago. Sounds like I will need to make a pit stop next time.
Hawkeye
May 5, 2011 at 11:29 am (14 years ago)They make a tasty Italian beef too. Big fan of the Haus.
If you find yourself further north, try Dr. Dawg in Glendale. Awesome chow. They have Scala Italian beef, Vienna dogs, excellent fries, great sausage options, including duck and vegetarian. (I personally find veggie sausage an abomination, but point it out for any herbivores out there.)
Nick
May 5, 2011 at 11:51 am (14 years ago)It looks like Dr. Dawg is only about a 15 minute drive from where I work, so I’ll have to check it out some day on my lunch break. Thanks for the tip!

May 6, 2011 at 8:16 am (14 years ago)I can tolerate Boca burgers, but Boca hot dogs? ICK.
Nick
May 6, 2011 at 9:53 am (14 years ago)Oh yeah, I’m pretty much the same way, but I just figured that I should point it out to any non-meat eaters out there. Then again I’m not sure how many non-meat eaters I have reading my blog…
Chris G.
May 9, 2011 at 10:24 am (14 years ago)Do you make this stuff up? Where did you find the homeless guy?!
Nick
May 9, 2011 at 10:41 am (14 years ago)Milwaukee has tons of homeless people Chris, you just need to leave Wauwatosa to find them! Just kidding. I met him down near 16th and Wisconsin hanging outside of Walgreens.
EatWisconsin
May 9, 2011 at 10:58 am (14 years ago)Dear Nick –
Thanks a lot, now we have homeless people hanging out in front of our restaurants wanting Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
Eat Shit,

Rebecca
May 9, 2011 at 11:13 am (14 years ago)Well, if a homeless person likes it, it MUST be good!
Tony
May 9, 2011 at 11:30 am (14 years ago)Very cool free sandwich for buyin a soda… Love your blog…nice job!
Briana
May 9, 2011 at 11:34 am (14 years ago)As a fellow participant in the face-off, I have to admire your impartiality (is that a word?) and creativity in choosing a winner. I just rode my bike around and stuffed my face.
Lisa
May 9, 2011 at 12:14 pm (14 years ago)Nick, I am proud that you spent your birthday feeding the homeless. Good job!
Julie
May 9, 2011 at 12:15 pm (14 years ago)Hah, I love it! Great idea. This is how all taste tests should be done.
angela
May 9, 2011 at 1:57 pm (14 years ago)Im out in Hollywood, and they actually SERVE this on the menu at Dillon’s pub. They charge $11.00 for it! you’re on the right track! In case you think I’m making it up: http://www.dillonsirishpub.com/menu
Love this blog btw!!
Nick
May 9, 2011 at 2:30 pm (14 years ago)That’s awesome! I’ll have to check that place out if I’m ever back out there!

Daniel
May 10, 2011 at 2:30 am (14 years ago)Haha I love how you set up this taste competition. And how can someone argue with that type of reasoning for why Arby’s is better?
Zachary Jacob Zblewski
May 10, 2011 at 2:54 am (14 years ago)This may be the greatest taste test I’ve ever seen. Its interesting that Johnny preferred Natty’s over Walgreen’s own “Big Flats 1901” ($2.99 per sixer).
If Johnny Marquette likes the Arby’s, that’s the only one I’ll buy from now on!
Erin
May 10, 2011 at 9:48 am (14 years ago)this was a great story! im glad that homeless dude got a free meal out of it! love this blog!
Mel
May 11, 2011 at 10:47 am (14 years ago)I love Johnny!! Will we be seeing more of him?
Nick
May 11, 2011 at 11:09 am (14 years ago)Ha ha, maybe if I can find him again!
Aunt Jenny
May 12, 2011 at 10:48 am (14 years ago)Is there nothing you won’t put bacon on?
Nick
May 12, 2011 at 10:50 am (14 years ago)If there is I still haven’t found it!
Peef
May 12, 2011 at 11:26 am (14 years ago)I want that sandwich! I know what cookies I’m gonna buy. 🙂 Thanks for participating and see you next weekend!
kolpin
May 13, 2011 at 10:47 am (14 years ago)of course arbys is better..it’s basically a big mayo jar with 44 grams of fat and 850 calories! now that dude’s gonna have have a heart attack!
Nick
May 13, 2011 at 10:54 am (14 years ago)Mmmmmmm… Mayo jar…
Anonymous
May 15, 2011 at 4:26 pm (14 years ago)I think I know exactly who you are talking about 🙂
I had the WORST most RIDICULOUS experience at this place. First, the waitress confided to me in spanish that there was a lot of sexual harassment happening by the manager and none of the female staff were happy working there. This “server” LOUDLY verbally fought with another server and was barking out orders to my and many other customers disbelief. I invites the waitress to have a drink at my table after her shift, and she agreed. This “server” then proceeds to walk over to our table with a “no she didnt” scowl on his face. I told him that we had invited her to sit with us. He LITERALLY told me “Yeah, thats nice.” and brushed me off. I breathed through wanting to put my foot through his chest. He then proceeded to scold this girl in the middle of the dining room! As I left, I looked back at the manager and his idiot server. The manager asked if everything was alright. I said no as the door closed. He rushed outside, where I assumed he was going to apologize and say Im sorry, but our policy doesnt allow servers to sit with customers, etc. Instead, he begins YELLING at me and threatens to call the police because she is underage. I responded with the fact that I hadnt ordered her an alcoholic beverage, and a “drink” can be juice, soda, or water. Furthermore, if anyone was going to get in trouble it would be his establishment for serving her an alcoholic beverage, and so in and so forth. The friend I was with laughed because she works for the police. She said go ahead, I will probably personally know the respondimg officer. Rather than reply with my fists, I bid him a good night, and comforted the crying waitress. I strongly recommend anyone with half a shred of decency of class to never go to Kikous Sushi in downtown. And to the “server” with an ego the size of Rhode Island, you WILL get what is coming to you. Karma. Namyo Ho Renge Kyo. Domo Arigato. That place is ridiculous….

AJ
May 16, 2011 at 10:13 am (14 years ago)damn you…
I need Kopps now!
Nick
May 16, 2011 at 10:29 am (14 years ago)Ha ha. I always forget how good it is until I go there.
AJ
May 16, 2011 at 10:45 am (14 years ago)I don’t forget, I try to though and it doesn’t work 🙁
Amanda
May 16, 2011 at 11:08 am (14 years ago)I live in Madison but I usually make a Kopps stop when I’m in Milwaukee. Last time I went my burger was really REALLY salty. I don’t remember them being salty in the past… maybe some new kid accidentally dumped a bunch of salt on my burger. Anyway, custard was out of this world- I want some now!!!
Erin
May 16, 2011 at 2:13 pm (14 years ago)that looks so good! if there was bacon bits in there, it would probably be one of the best desserts of all time. haha
nichole
May 16, 2011 at 7:11 pm (14 years ago)I love Kopp’s and their hot celery. Just that and cheese on a burger, yes please!
Rose Garden
May 17, 2011 at 6:30 am (14 years ago)Looks very tasty! It seems it’s more better than Pancake Frozen Custard of Singapore! Graving to taste it! Yummy!
Erica
May 18, 2011 at 2:18 pm (14 years ago)Yum. I will have to keep my eye out the next time this is the flavor of the day!
Erin
May 19, 2011 at 2:35 pm (14 years ago)this sounds interesting. we might order some for the office. haha
Nick
May 19, 2011 at 4:37 pm (14 years ago)The candy is WAY better than I expected. I guess the guy that started the company has been brewing beer forever and has actually won lots of awards for his beer.
Mary
May 21, 2011 at 4:43 pm (14 years ago)I ordered a 4 pack of these a couple days ago and it arrived today. I ate all four flavors and I would highly recommend these. My favorites were the Lager with milk chocolate and the Stout with dark chocolate, but all of them were delicious.
Hertzey
May 24, 2011 at 5:27 pm (14 years ago)I need to move to Wisconsin… That sounds very good, biscuits and gravy are a favorite of mine, and and egg is a must.
Nick
May 24, 2011 at 6:17 pm (14 years ago)Where do you live now? They sell these pizzas frozen and I’m sure that Palermo’s doesn’t sell them in all 50 states, but they do sell them in a lot of places besides Wisconsin.
Hertzey
May 26, 2011 at 5:54 pm (14 years ago)St. Paul MN. I’ll have to start stalking the pizza aisles more often.

May 25, 2011 at 7:28 pm (14 years ago)Hi, my name is Jessica, I’m the manager at Kiku. We are trying to do something for your bad experience. We would like to make it up to you by offering a $25 gift card so you can come try us one more time. Please send me your e-mail address to try to get you in as soon as possible. I appreciate you reading this e-mail.
Thank you,
-your friends at Kikus!
Nick
May 26, 2011 at 10:27 am (14 years ago)Thank you for the offer, but I think I’ll decline. Based on other reviews I’ve read this doesn’t really seem to be an isolated incident, and there are way too many other great sushi places in and around Milwaukee that I’ve had excellent service at for me to come back to Kiku.
Paavo
May 25, 2011 at 11:17 pm (14 years ago)I swear the Pizzeria Piccola in Tosa used to have a pie with hard-boiled eggs (this was maybe five years ago).
Nick
May 26, 2011 at 10:32 am (14 years ago)Whoa really? I only live a mile or so from Pizzeria Piccola, and I’ve eaten there a couple times, but I’ve never noticed that on the menu. I’ll have to take a closer look next time I’m there!
Amanda
May 26, 2011 at 10:27 am (14 years ago)I. Love. Mongolian. Grill. !!!! Other tips-
-stay away from spinach and the like because it cooks down to pretty much nothing and takes up a lot of bowl space.
-some places (Flat Top- locations in Madison/Chicago/other places) will bring you a bowl of noodles/rice on the side so you don’t need to take up valuable bowl space.
-Flat Top allows you a small separate bowl for meat- even more space!
If you haven’t tried Flat Top I highly recommend it and I consider myself a Mongolian Grill aficionado. 🙂
Nick
May 26, 2011 at 10:30 am (14 years ago)Oh yeah, I forgot to point out the fact that at bd’s you can also get a bowl of rice on the side to mix with your food once it’s done cooking.
There’s a Flat Top Grill pretty close to my house that I’ve been meaning to go to since they opened, so I’ll have to give them a try sometime soon.
Thanks for the tips!
Robert
May 27, 2011 at 7:30 pm (14 years ago)Yeah the Genghis Grill we have down here you get to pick your starch (noodles, rice, tortillas, etc) on the side and they do it at the grill.
BUT many places do have really long skinny asian noodles. Pile them (and the spinach) on the very top after you are done with the all important MEAT
Jessica
May 31, 2011 at 7:21 pm (14 years ago)Well thank you, hopefully you never ever get that kinf of experience again. We are sincerely sorry and are working on improving every minute of th day. IF you ever change your mind well send coupons all day everyday just shoot emal to [email protected] WE ARED WILLING TO OFFER 50$ COUPONS TO LET YOU KNOW WE ARENT PLAYING ANYMORE.
EatWisconsin
June 2, 2011 at 10:22 am (14 years ago)I’ve been by that place and wondered if it was any good. I used to end up at Popeyes instead but now sadly that is gone. Might have to give Meyer’s a shot.
Amanda
June 2, 2011 at 5:28 pm (14 years ago)Pretzel buns a very underrated, they are delicious!
Nick
June 2, 2011 at 5:56 pm (14 years ago)My thoughts exactly! Ever since I had my first pretzel bun I’ve never passed one up when presented with the option.
Bird
June 3, 2011 at 2:45 am (14 years ago)I found a fingernail in my corned beef sandwich!
I’ve ordered from Dino’s in the past, and never really had any complaints about the food quality up until a month ago. I asked my lady to order a corned beef extra lean on untoasted bread (to avoid the butter/margarine). When I got the sandwich, the fat on the meat was not trimmed and the bread was toasted (with the fat I was trying to avoid). I decided that I would not order there again.
Tonight, my lady called me at work and told me she was going there to order a gyro and asked if I wanted anything. After thinking it over I decided to give it another chance.
The sandwich was exactly how I wanted it, extra lean, no butter on the bread, great! I ate half of the sandwich checking the meat for fat as I ate.. I start on the other half, I check the meat and found a fingernail. It’s as if someone accidentally broke a nail while making the sandwich (at least I hope so)… If you DO DECIDE to eat there, KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON WHO EVER IS MAKING YOUR FOOD, if you don’t want any SECRET INGREDIENTS!
Clint Larkins
June 3, 2011 at 3:55 pm (14 years ago)Im a correctional officer in florida and i have seen some pretty interesting and disgusting versions of this,and in florida prisons they call it “Buck”, but whatever you call it, it is all basically the same. im making this stuff right now and am really iterested in what it tastes like and most of all how much alcohol is in it.
Sergio
November 10, 2013 at 12:33 pm (11 years ago)So now that you made it and tasted it dont bust them for it you know its some work to make haha
Vinny
May 10, 2014 at 11:31 pm (11 years ago)you can also up the alcohol content by adding another cup or two of sugarthe day you pull it up and drop it for another 48 hrs..and to cut the cooking time down (if your in prison) pinch the center out of bread and wrap in stocking or new sock tip sewed or tied shut..the yeast in the dough helps speed up the process…if your a free man just ad 1 table spoon of activated yeast (wine yeast if you wanna be fancy) but if you use yeast you can leave out the tomato paste or catchup.
hagrid
December 29, 2015 at 9:20 pm (9 years ago)thank you.. i was trying to find out if i had to use ketchup or not.
SKEEZo
January 24, 2024 at 8:40 pm (12 months ago)I’m glad I saw this comment before I added the ketchup. I can’t imagine ketchup prison wine tasting all that great, and since I’m a free man I think I’ll probably just go with the yeast for now.
Librarian
April 11, 2024 at 8:56 pm (9 months ago)Ketchup
SideTwacked
January 27, 2022 at 6:58 pm (3 years ago)I’m a convict from SC. You can actually make buck a lot faster. Orange juice concentrate (6 cups), 3 cups of fruit (we used peaches), 2 (small) bags Jolly Ranchers, 4 tomatoes (halved). Put your fruit, juice, and tomatoes in a plastic trash bag, tie it off, and then place that bag inside of another trash bag. Then wrap it in a nice, thick towel and place it over a floor vent with the heat on (or put it in a box and place a clip-on lamp inside with the bulb pressed against the towel), and let sit for 24 hours. Burp the bag every 2-3 hours. Then add your Jolly Ranchers. Re-tie the bag and heat some more for another 48 hours, burping every 2-3 hours. And that’s it. 72 hour wine. Doesn’t taste great, and if you’re consuming alcohol on at least a semi-regular basis, it’ll take probably the whole bag to get you smashed. But for a prison inmate? Two to three cups gets you in the mood. Five to six will give correctional officers a lively night, especially if consumed by a Native American. Rink responsibly!
Name*
April 23, 2023 at 5:01 am (2 years ago)I was in Florida prison for 8 years, I’m in Egypt now. I can show you how to make gas. Don’t use ketchup tho use tomatoes. Instead of fruit cocktail ise apple juice and orange juice. And of course oranges. It’s stronger than 4 Loco.
Shannon
September 22, 2023 at 11:00 pm (1 year ago)Hey I wanted to ask for the recipe. I’m curious about the taste and alcohol content. Alcohol is going and always been a good bartering product. Even better than gold.
Peebs
October 4, 2023 at 9:36 pm (1 year ago)Bro. 2lbs of sugar per gallon of water, 6oz tomato paste per gallon, half a uncooked potato,diced as finely as possible per gallon, heat the water up to almost boiling and put it in your bag first, then the sugar, make sure it fully dissolved. Then mix the tomato paste and potatoes, mix well. Then, the kicker, one cup of yeast roll mix from the kitchen. You better be there to burp it every hour or so or it *will* explode. This recipe tastes like malt liquor and I would say is about 15-20% alcohol after three days of being kept warm. Any longer and you’re making vinegar. Try it Buck connoisseurs.

CarterScully
June 4, 2011 at 12:15 pm (14 years ago)There’s something weird about reading a blog entry on making prison hooch while slightly tipsy.
That said, I don’t think I’ll be making this. I’ll stick with the tasty store bought stuff.

June 6, 2011 at 1:21 am (14 years ago)Don’t hate on Meyer’s, it’s very underrated. We had our wedding reception in on of their banquet halls. All the food was EXCELLENT.
Christina
June 6, 2011 at 12:18 pm (14 years ago)That looks delish… cheez whiz dipping cup would make it epic. or even some sort of house made (ie. less processed) cheddar cheese sauce drizzled on it… yummm
MaltyDog
June 6, 2011 at 3:55 pm (14 years ago)Been reading a while but never commented, you need to add ketchup to philly cheesesteak pizza, not wiz. And if you take a slice of that and wrap it around a soft pretzel you have yourself a philly taco!
Sarah
June 9, 2011 at 10:47 am (14 years ago)Not every Pick has the All You Can Eat option. Being a PNS employee, I didn’t even know that but that’s an awesome way to be able to try things without wasting space in the container and take away from the regular salad options. Very nice.
I’m a huge fan of the bar and enjoy it about once a week. I have seen people even take just a few pepper pieces or lettuce and then use that for another entree at home and save themselves the hassel of buying a whole vegetable and throwing half of it out!
Nick
June 9, 2011 at 11:30 am (14 years ago)Yeah, there are three different Pick ‘n Save stores within a few miles of my work and this one is the only one with the all you can eat option. I love it though.
It’s funny that you mention the people just buying a few slices of random things because I did the exact same thing there last night when I was grilling out at home and only wanted enough peppers, onion slices and lettuce for a few burgers.
Chris G.
June 9, 2011 at 11:11 am (14 years ago)you used a new disposable plate each time?!
Nick
June 9, 2011 at 11:23 am (14 years ago)Yeah, they give you a new plate each time. It’s a total waste, I know.
Jen
June 9, 2011 at 1:19 pm (14 years ago)Could you let me know which PnS has that option.
Nick
June 9, 2011 at 1:26 pm (14 years ago)The one I went to was on 76th and Good Hope Road.

Tony
June 13, 2011 at 11:59 am (14 years ago)Hmm…I’m goin to have to say #5 Big Ben, #18 The Pioneer, #28 Havanna or #30 Macho Nacho. Guess I will have to try them all 🙂
Christina
June 13, 2011 at 12:22 pm (14 years ago)definitely #13 – The Roadhouse – caramelized onions, onion rings, AND a toasted onion roll? yes, please! Plus, it has bacon. everything is better with bacon. The gruyere and garlic mayo even throw in a bit of class. =p
Jed
June 13, 2011 at 12:24 pm (14 years ago)Jalapenos, pepperoncini and spicy capicola. I’m sold on the Firehouse.
Kettler
June 13, 2011 at 12:33 pm (14 years ago)Number 11, the Firehouse, because of the havarti/capicola. The Kansas City would be a close second, BBQ potato chips on the burger. I do this all the time at my favorite burger joint on my Double one pound patty cheese burgers. I’m a tiny girl and Dominate that tasty potato chip cheese burger concoction.
Jason
June 13, 2011 at 1:01 pm (14 years ago)The Denver looks amazing because whenever you can have breakfast and lunch in one meal thats a plus but I have to give a big thumbs up to the Rhinelander because well I live in Rhinelander Wisconsin!
Dubey
June 13, 2011 at 2:48 pm (14 years ago)Definitely the firehouse. Putting havarti on a burger like that will help put out the flame of all the spicy stuff.
Zach
June 13, 2011 at 4:17 pm (14 years ago)Not gonna lie, #30 the macho nacho looks like everything I’ve ever wanted in life. I’m surprised I made it to the thirtieth burger, I spent about 5 minutes staring at each one going “Oh yeah, this is definitely the one…but just in case…*click!*” and of course, #30 caught my eye. Macho Nacho is all that needs to be said, my hands down favorite.
Mat S
June 13, 2011 at 4:49 pm (14 years ago)Whoa, sounds like quite a night! I have been into Kiku a few times and to an extent have ran into some of the problems you described in your article… slow food prep and suspect waiters being the main issues. That being said, these haven’t been enough to keep me away as our food orders have always been spot on and very tasty. Maybe it’s just me but I am always willing to overlook staff errors or attitudes as long as the food tastes great.
Nick
June 13, 2011 at 5:03 pm (14 years ago)I generally agree about overlooking staff errors and attitude, but this experience was just WAY too terrible for me to ever want to go back.
What makes it even worse is that after that night I found out that our waiter was actually the owner of Kiku, and for an owner of a restaurant to act the way he did is completely inexcusable.

June 16, 2011 at 1:45 pm (14 years ago)I’ve never heard of that, so it might be a west coast thing, but it sounds super good!
Christina
June 16, 2011 at 1:22 pm (14 years ago)that looks deliciously amazing! I’d totally be all over that weiner if I could. hahaha =)

I am going to have to go with #13 The Roadhouse. It has all the classic flavors that go so well with burgers (garlic, onions, bacon) and I LOVE gruyere.

June 17, 2011 at 4:51 pm (14 years ago)That looks amazing. You’ve certainly earned yourself a new fan.
Here’s to the next 100!

Dan (A Duo of Chefs)
June 23, 2011 at 10:16 am (14 years ago)It should come with tots.
Nick
June 23, 2011 at 11:45 am (14 years ago)Oh man, tots with this thing would be awesome!
Christina
June 23, 2011 at 10:20 am (14 years ago)i agree with Dan, tots would definitely make it more “Napoleon Dynamite”-ish. However, that still looks DELISH! I could totally live off this. haha.

I’d love to do one of these a day for however long it takes to try them all.

June 27, 2011 at 10:12 am (14 years ago)Benelux has a breakfast poutine that I almost ordered last time I was there.
Had I not been planning on walking around at the lakefront fest of the arts I prolly would’ve gotten it.
I think a nap would have been in order.
Nick
June 27, 2011 at 10:39 am (14 years ago)Nice! How was that place? I’ve been meaning to go there?
Heather G
July 19, 2011 at 2:11 pm (14 years ago)Good, it’s Hollander food with a few twists. Prolly will be better when the popularity dies down, if that ever happens. The rooftop patio looks awesome. It was rainy when I went. =(
Nick
June 27, 2011 at 10:17 am (14 years ago)Congratulations to Gebby, Sheri, Rich and Zach who are the four winners! I’ve just sent each of you an email, but let me know if you don’t get it.
Christina
June 27, 2011 at 10:44 am (14 years ago)Looks tasty! As a native NY-er I’ve yet to try poutine, or see it offered anywhere around here. Guess I’ll just have to whip up my own!
Jake
June 27, 2011 at 12:54 pm (14 years ago)Thanks, Nick. Now I want Poutine for lunch…

Julie
June 27, 2011 at 1:17 pm (14 years ago)At Miller Park I’ve only seen it at the specialty fry place (can’t remember the name) near section 127. They call it “The Montreal”. I think that I’ve also seen it at AJ Bombers on Water St but I don’t know if it is part of the regular menu. I haven’t tried it either place since I have had to limit my intake lately. Now, maybe if I plan a trip to Canada it would be an excuse to try it there, just for the sake of research, you know…
Nick
June 27, 2011 at 1:25 pm (14 years ago)I’m headed to another Brewers game in a couple weeks so I’ll have to check near section 127 for it.
Also, as far as AJ Bombers goes would you believe I still haven’t been there? I’m pretty sure I’m one of the only people in Milwaukee who still hasn’t eaten there.
Amanda
June 27, 2011 at 2:08 pm (14 years ago)I agree poutine is underrated. They have it at Cooper’s Tavern here in Madison- I haven’t tried it yet but it’s high on my list.
Niki
August 7, 2011 at 8:33 am (13 years ago)Red Dot on Milwaukee’s east side has the best poutine around our area. I tried it at Miller Park and was very disappointed. At Red Dot you can even get tator tots instead of fries. Unbelievably good! http://reddotmilwaukee.com/
Catch
June 27, 2011 at 10:02 pm (14 years ago)I think that this place has the best Corned beef in Wisconsin. After trying many of other places food I went there and I tried it it is the best I have had in the Midwest. THe place is clean and I would go there every time I am craving Corned beef. The meat is so tender it will melt in your mouth. If you find yourself close stop by and try it.

June 28, 2011 at 12:20 am (14 years ago)I have had the Poutine at Benelux. It was good but not as great as what I remember from Toronto. I’m also amazed it hasn’t caught on (esp. in Milwaukee – we love cheese curds!)

Jake
June 30, 2011 at 9:29 am (14 years ago)I want to say the Kenwood Inn on the third floor of the UWM Student Union had Monte Cristos made with french toast instead of just an egg batter…I don’t like swiss cheese, so I never had one, but Sharon ate them a lot I think.
Christina
June 30, 2011 at 10:57 am (14 years ago)Oh man, monte cristos are the shit…. They make an amazing one at one of the restaurants in Disneyland, and the one at Cheesecake Factory is pretty legit for a chain. French Toast as sandwich bread should definitely be an option though..like a high class McGriddle!
Chris G.

Sally
July 10, 2011 at 5:06 am (14 years ago)Yes, do not eat here. There are a lot better places to eat then this one. The four of us waited for our food for more than an half an hour. We were the only customers. And then when it finally arrived three orders had been put on one plate instead of everyone having their own. And after that we had to wait for the forth one to arrive after three of us had finished eating.
The food is not even that good, prices are way too expensive considering the quality of food.
Also a male waiter acted rude (extremely rude) towards us and then when we didn’t leave him 18% tip which was handwritten on the bill by himself (we did leave some, but not the 18%), he tried to stop us by running after us and closing the door in front of a member of our group. Some of us had already stepped out to the street and couldn’t believe our eyes.
We thought we were being generous considering the poor service we got and still decided to leave some tip, but no way we were going to give him the 18%. So we explained to him why we didn’t feel we should tip him that much. Then he got really upset about it and started yelling even more.
But do you want to know the best part of our whole experience here? I think it was great when the manager/owner came to our “rescue” and yelled at the waiter “let the Fuckers go”!
What a great service, right? If you are dining here I have to warn you this is Milwaukee’s version of Chicago’s famous Wiener’s Circle, but these guys aren’t even funny. Yeah, fuck you too Milwaukee.

Christina
July 12, 2011 at 10:52 am (14 years ago)Oh man, I love arby’s, but the one that was within reasonable driving distance from my house was turned into a Nathan’s… The only arby’s remaining in my area is a 35min drive. Totally worth making the trip though, especially since that new sandwich looks pretty beefy!
Christina
July 12, 2011 at 10:54 am (14 years ago)FlatOut wraps also make pretty good thin crust pizzas.. they’re probably a bit smaller than these, but they come in a variety of (tasty!) flavors, like italian herb, tomato, etc.
TFMT
July 12, 2011 at 11:06 am (14 years ago)That sandwich kinda looks like a giant horse vagina. Or maybe sliced dachshund skin on a roll. I can’t decide which one it looks like more, but I sure hope I randomly win the gift card so I can try one some day!!

July 16, 2011 at 9:52 pm (14 years ago)I grew up (a LONG time ago) frequently going to Arby’s with my folks. It was obviously not REAL Roast Beef, but as good a simulation as Buddig’s supermarket deli slices. And the Cheddar on the Beef and Cheddar? It’s Nacho Sauce with the peppers surgically removed! Still, Horsey Sauce was my favorite way to consume horseradish until Fake Wasabi came along. When Arby’s started offering Angus Beef sandwiches, I had my doubts… but then I’ve had doubts about the special-ness of Angus Beef ever since Jack in the Box did its infamous comparison commercial hinting at an Angus/Anus connection. Haven’t been able to look at “Angus Third Pounder” on the McD’s menuboard since. Still, I wouldn’t turn down an Arby’s freebie.

July 18, 2011 at 7:44 am (14 years ago)Ok. I love your blog and follow it religiously. But I was just wondering…what exactly is a cheese curd? I’m originally from Cleveland, Ohio and now live in Chicago. I have never spent an extended amount of time in Wisconsin or any of the middle-of-the-country states and am therefore unfamiliar with the “cheese curd” haha:)
Nick
July 18, 2011 at 10:16 am (14 years ago)Hey, thanks for reading! Cheese curds are kind of just really fresh little chunks of cheese that have a more rubbery texture than regular cheese.
Jacobus Maximus
July 3, 2018 at 5:41 pm (7 years ago)From Wikipedia:
Cheese curds “are the solid pieces of curdled milk… [they] are made from fresh pasteurized milk in the process of creating cheese when bacterial culture and rennet are added to clot the milk. After the milk has been pasteurized, the result is a mixture of whey and curd. This mixture is then cooked and pressed to release the whey from the curd, creating the final product of cheese curd.”
If you’re ever in Oregon, you should drive to the Tillamook Creamery. They have the best cheese curds ever.

Salisbury Steaks
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (1 ounce) packet dry au jus mix
3/4 cup water
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion soup mix, bread crumbs, and milk using your hands. Shape into 8 patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the patties in flour just to coat, and quickly brown on both sides in the hot skillet. Place browned patties into the slow cooker stacking alternately like a pyramid. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, au jus mix, and water. Pour over the meat. Cook on the Low setting for 4 or 5 hours, until ground beef is well done.

July 25, 2011 at 10:40 am (13 years ago)Looks pretty tasty to me! I bet white sausage gravy would go well on it too, instead of the hollandaise.

July 29, 2011 at 11:40 pm (13 years ago)Well, once again we were treated shabbily at Kiku Japanese Restaurant. After first being thrown out by a staff member (and called a MF!!!) who refused to change a $1 BILL SO WE COULD PARK AND EAT. We were offered a FREE dinner tonight to apologize. We got there and they didn’t give us the dinner, they offered a $20 coupon. We left. The Shepherd Express should be ashamed of them using their name all over their store.

August 8, 2011 at 4:17 pm (13 years ago)Pshhhh. 80 degrees! That’s nothing. I had deep fried butter at the Texas State Fair in 2009 in 100 degree weather.
Good stuff. We had different flavors….did y’all?
Nick
August 8, 2011 at 4:25 pm (13 years ago)Awwww, we didn’t get any different flavors! What were the flavors they offered? That sounds awesome.
Abby
August 8, 2011 at 5:07 pm (13 years ago)Texas State Fair had original, grape, cherry and garlic. I tried the original and the cherry. Original tasted like, well, butter. The cherry was kind of like a really buttery sweet roll. Sort of. It’s kind of hard to describe.
They were both awesome!

August 16, 2011 at 11:29 pm (13 years ago)So I came across your site via Nerdalicious and have been pursuing it for the past several hours. Yes, really.
I just felt the need to comment on this entry, though, because my friends are always telling me that I am the only person in the world who dips my grilled cheese in ranch dressing! But I’m not! :fist bump: or whatever it is the cool kids are doing these days. 🙂
Nick
August 17, 2011 at 8:30 am (13 years ago)Thanks for reading! Yeah, I pretty much dip everything in ranch. I even put ranch dressing on my pizza sometimes, which all my friends though was crazy when I started doing it ten years ago, but now I know tons of people that put ranch dressing on pizza.

August 19, 2011 at 8:12 am (13 years ago)I haven’t tried that before but I think it may cause the dough to be too wet. So it may be best to just dip them in after.

September 8, 2011 at 12:47 pm (13 years ago)The Big O is easaly one of the best burgers youy will get anywhere in the city of Milwaukee. The consistancy of it’s preparation is what keeps it at the top of the list.

Madbee
September 11, 2011 at 9:56 am (13 years ago)We made one and used a small block of velveeta, sliced into thin squares that we placed around the top, in addition to provolone and mozzarella, beef, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and a small amount of red sauce on the bottom. We all agreed the melted velveeta was what really made the pizza great.
Ben
September 12, 2011 at 11:25 am (13 years ago)This looks delicious. So delicious that I would probably have to lay down because of all the bubbling and churning my weak stomach would be doing.

September 20, 2011 at 6:43 pm (13 years ago)Hey DudeFoods,
Thanks for the shout out! We actually wanted to warn people to not squeeze a cheese sandwich into their toaster, especially the Quick Serv because the cheese can gunk up the trap door. If the toast can’t drop there’s a chance it could burn the bread… and depending on how attentive you are in the kitchen, I suppose the house too.
We love your blog and don’t want to limit your foodie thoughts. But Customer Service and Product Development wanted to make sure we weren’t advocating something that we actually advise against on our instruction manual.
Keep eating and posting,
West Bend®

September 26, 2011 at 10:36 am (13 years ago)breakfast quesadillas!! (that’s probably already been done…)
Nick
September 26, 2011 at 10:38 am (13 years ago)That’s a good idea! I might have to try making some with my quesadilla maker.
Christina
September 29, 2011 at 11:18 am (13 years ago)Be sure to keep me posted if you do! I’m sure they’d be super tasty.
Jeff
September 26, 2011 at 10:40 am (13 years ago)Breakfast lasagne with layers of pancakes, waffles and eggs would be cool. Maybe cook the eggs first in the bottom of the casserole pan so you have a flat layer of them. In between the eggs, waffles, and pancakes you could have bacon, cheese, veggies, sausage, and canadian bacon.
What about breakfast poutine? Instead of fries you can do homestyle potatoes. Add cheese curds and top with sausage gravy and then put an over-easy egg on top.
Nick
September 26, 2011 at 10:41 am (13 years ago)I love the lasagna idea! I guess they have breakfast poutine at Cafe Benelux, but I’m not sure what it all consists of. I’ve been wanting to stop in and try it for a while now.
Christina
September 26, 2011 at 10:49 am (13 years ago)Actually, its because it is illegal to drink/have an open container of alcohol in public in most places. So yeah, they were trying to hide their beers! lol
Aunt Jenny
September 26, 2011 at 12:28 pm (13 years ago)Why am I always hungry after reading one of your posts? That pasta looks awesome!! Think there’s any way to combine breakfast and BBQ ribs?
Jaime
September 27, 2011 at 7:57 am (13 years ago)Aunt Jenny how about combining the bbq with eggs benedict? You could replace the canadian bacon with pulled pork or burnt ends and then use BBQ sauce instead of hollandaise!
Christina
September 29, 2011 at 10:17 am (13 years ago)Holy crap, wow what a burger. What condiments would you suggest? We love brat patties on the grill. And we love bacon. Joe doesn’t ever want a regular burger since having the brat pattie. Your burger loves like art. Very proud of you.
Nick
September 29, 2011 at 10:21 am (13 years ago)I put Swiss cheese, kraut and chopped onions on mine and it tasted awesome. The pretzel bun was like the cherry on top though.
I agree though, brat patties are great.
AJ
September 29, 2011 at 11:15 am (13 years ago)Looks pretty good, minus the kraut… Yuck!
jett
September 30, 2011 at 12:37 pm (13 years ago)Have you ever had chilaquiles? It’s like poached eggs on tortilla chips with salsa verde and cheese. Delicious!
Also, I ate a breakfast quesadilla at Golden West at fest time and it was delicious.
Nick
September 30, 2011 at 12:40 pm (13 years ago)I’ve never even heard of chilaquiles until now, but I just found a Mexican / Latin restaurant in Milwaukee that serves them for brunch and now I want to go there!
jett
October 2, 2011 at 6:43 pm (13 years ago)Oh yeah, you have to try them. Hopefully this place makes good ones!

October 1, 2011 at 8:59 am (13 years ago)I know it’s not food related, but I was hoping to see some pictures of the “small grease fire”. Just sayin..
Nick
October 1, 2011 at 12:04 pm (13 years ago)It was actually a little bigger than small. A bunch of the bacon grease dripped down into the grill and started on fire. I totally would have taken a picture, but instead I just grabbed the burger off as fast as I could so it wouldn’t get burnt.

Sarah
October 6, 2011 at 11:10 am (13 years ago)That sounds like an amazing pizza. Each bite had a slightly different flavor than the one before with each different topping.

October 6, 2011 at 11:13 am (13 years ago)Where are the pickles?
Nick
October 6, 2011 at 11:17 am (13 years ago)Do they offer pickles as a topping? Gross. If they did that would be the one thing I’d leave off.
Bryan
October 6, 2011 at 12:16 pm (13 years ago)They do not but should. Pickles are the new bacon.

I don’t think the combination of pineapple and jalepeno would be my favorite, but the end product looks like $10 well spent.
isa
October 7, 2011 at 11:16 am (13 years ago)oh…that’s definitely NOT poutine sauce…! Too white (!) If you’re looking for a great deep fried poutine recipe, there’s this one :
http://deliciouspoutine.wordpress.com/tag/restaurant-auguste/
Nick
October 7, 2011 at 11:22 am (13 years ago)It looks really white because during deep frying it mixed with some of the melted cheese from the cheese curds. I didn’t see any recipe on the link you posted, but I actually prefer a light chicken or turkey gravy to a heavy brown gravy because when you use too heavy of a gravy that becomes almost all you can taste.
Misty
February 10, 2017 at 1:03 am (8 years ago)As someone who grew up in the “French Fry Capital” of Canada (Sturgeon Falls, ON) the trick to poutine gravy is 2 parts beef gravy 1 part chicken gravy. It gives it the depth needed without being overpowering. I thought this was a local-thing until recently I have seen many French-Canadian chefs swear by this. Depending where you are you can buy cans of “poutine” gravy. I just looked at the label of a can of it for aditional seasonings & other than the ambiguous “spices” it lists onion powder, garlic powder & black-strap molasses.
Summer
October 8, 2011 at 5:44 pm (13 years ago)There must be a Pizza Hut rep keeping an eye out because as of today it charged extra if you go over 5 toppings for a custom pizza, or if you add toppings to a lovers pizza. 🙁
Nick
October 8, 2011 at 6:10 pm (13 years ago)Oh man really? How can they do a $10 “any crust, any toppings” deal and exclude one of their crusts and only allow five toppings?
coren
November 6, 2011 at 6:47 pm (13 years ago)Hey Summer, I was just trying to order something ridiculous like Nick did, and didn’t get charged extra…so it seems like it still works? Maybe some specific thing you added goofed it up?

Yeah, alligator is big down here in Fla also. I enjoy it. It can be a little gamey if not cooked right, but it’s tasty.

October 12, 2011 at 9:22 am (13 years ago)This looks amazing. I’m going to have to attempt this. Preferably without the grease fire.

October 13, 2011 at 11:32 am (13 years ago)Look awesome. Maybe you need to come up with a graham cracker based dough to wrap them in.
As for running out of stuff to deep fry? Impossible! White Castle Burgers, pumpkin pie, bbq ribs…the posibilities are endless.
Nick
October 13, 2011 at 11:44 am (13 years ago)I like the idea of a graham cracker based dough. I actually want to make graham cracker based hamburger rolls and them make a burger called the S’moregasbord Burger and top the burger with chocolate and marshmallows and then serve it on the graham cracker bun.

October 13, 2011 at 2:59 pm (13 years ago)Deep fried pie sounds awesome – kinda like the fried apple pies at mcd’s. Do you like japanese tempura? It might be a nice change of pace for you. Just buy a box of japanese tempura mix, follow the directions and make sure the water is ice cold and the batter is lumpy, and then deep fry everything you can put your hands on — tempura fried vegetables (especially green beans, zucchini, and eggplant) dipped in hot sauce is insanely good. Tempura is also an ideal coating for fish and shellfish.
Nick
October 13, 2011 at 3:05 pm (13 years ago)Deep fried pie WOULD be awesome! Yeah, I love tempura so I’ll have to get some and experiment with that.

Nick
October 14, 2011 at 3:31 pm (13 years ago)You’d be amazed how many people I’ve talked to that have had similar experiences there. They must rely on new customers coming there all the time (which is probably why Kiku always has deals on places like Groupon and Living Social) or people from out of town that are staying downtown. I can’t imagine that they have many repeat customers at all.

October 19, 2011 at 12:48 pm (13 years ago)That mac and cheese looks FANTASTIC.
Nick
October 19, 2011 at 12:50 pm (13 years ago)It really was. Most times when you order mac & cheese at a restaurant it doesn’t taste any different than any of the stuff you can just buy from the grocery store, but the mac & cheese at Motor was super good.
Courtney
October 19, 2011 at 6:19 pm (13 years ago)The Bloody Mary burger sounds amazing! However, what are “beef sticks?” Is that a euphemism for all beef hotdogs? The mac and cheese looks soooo good – I have yet been able to master homemade mac and cheese. Incidentally, one of the BEST parties I have ever been to was a birthday bbq party for this guy who loves mac and cheese. Instead of gifts, he asked people to make homemade mac and cheese and bring it for a contest. All the guests got to taste and vote and the top 3 winners won prizes provided by the birthday boy. There were huge 35 trays of mac and cheese in various incarnations. It was AWESOME.
Nick
October 19, 2011 at 6:24 pm (13 years ago)That birthday party sounds awesome! Beef sticks are just sticks of beef (that look like THIS) that are in most Bloody Marys around here.
Courtney
October 19, 2011 at 6:36 pm (13 years ago)What?! Those look like slim jim’s! You guys put those in your bloody marys??? I’m stunned. I need to leave CA more often….
Nick
October 19, 2011 at 6:39 pm (13 years ago)Yeah, they’re similar to Slim Jims, but usually a lot better quality. HERE’S a link to a picture of a Bloody Mary from this place here called the Wicked Hop, which has some of the best Bloody Marys in Milwaukee.
Courtney
October 19, 2011 at 6:50 pm (13 years ago)Hmmm, ok that does look pretty tasty when you also include all the pickled stuff which would really complement the spiciness of the meat stick and the cocktail. I love that your blog introduces the rest of the world to Northern Midwestern Cuisine. Aside: I was in Milwaukee once and ate at Oakland Gyros. It was tasty but put me in the bathroom for 12 hours.
Nick
October 20, 2011 at 12:19 pm (13 years ago)Oh man, I haven’t been to Oakland Gyros in forever! In college I’d usually end up there for late night food after a long night of drinking. They would always have lines way out the door.

October 20, 2011 at 11:18 am (13 years ago)I once put Baconaise on bacon. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything better.

EatWisconsin
October 20, 2011 at 12:02 pm (13 years ago)Deep fried BLT sandwiches with baconaise.
Nick
October 20, 2011 at 12:04 pm (13 years ago)So with just Baconnaise, lettuce and tomato? Or with Baconnaise, lettuce, tomato AND bacon? Also, I’m totally doing this!
EatWisconsin
October 20, 2011 at 5:50 pm (13 years ago)Oh I meant with baconaise AND bacon of course. Also I like avocado on my blt, so I’d add that too.
Courtney
October 21, 2011 at 11:29 am (13 years ago)Yeah! Deep fried BLT sammies sounds amazing. This is what I was thinking too while reading this. (Which, by the way, deep fried mayo cubes = barf)
However, cooked lettuce is kind of gross and gets a slimy consistency. You also cannot freeze lettuce or tomato because it develops a horrid texture. I would use fresh baby spinach leaves instead to give it a “green” flavor that tastes ok being cooked and combined with bacon & oil. I would also make sure the tomato was in the center to make it the least cooked and hopefully retain a little freshness.
Adam
October 24, 2011 at 3:13 pm (13 years ago)Or you could wrap the sandwich in bacon, which would give the lettuce and tomato a little more protection.
Christina
October 20, 2011 at 8:04 pm (13 years ago)Somehow I am not at all surprised you thought of this, Nick!
Z-man
October 21, 2011 at 1:55 pm (13 years ago)I just got my first Candwich in the mail, and I wasn’t very impressed. The idea is GREAT!… but the sandwich was missing texture and taste. The bread felt like a 4 week old hot dog bun. The gimmick had it’s 15 minutes of fame, but next time I’ll kept it un-opened on my desk for shits and giggles.

Taihlo
October 24, 2011 at 3:11 pm (13 years ago)Ever had chinese shrimp toast? I would aim for something like that… Take some white bread, mix an egg into the Baconnaise, then spread a thick layer of the Baconnaise + egg mixture on the bread, and then sandwich it with another piece. Cut it into squares and freeze it. Take the frozen squares the next day, dip them in beaten egg, then bread crumbs and fry those. Dust with bacon salt fresh out of the fryer… should be a little better texture-wise, since the bread will soak up the melted Baconnaise so it won’t burn.
Nick
October 24, 2011 at 3:58 pm (13 years ago)Nope, I’ve never heard of it, but that actually sounds really good! I’m definitely going to have to try that!

October 31, 2011 at 12:43 pm (13 years ago)I feel like it would be a lot better if you went earlier in the day, but Mexican food doesn’t always taste the best after it’s been sitting around in warming trays for that long.
Kate
October 31, 2011 at 5:12 pm (13 years ago)My husband’s family has been going to Burrito Bueno forever, and it’s actually really great food! The fiesta fajitas are awesome and they have huge, deadly strong margs for pretty cheap. I’ve had the weekend buffet and it’s not their best food, but it’s decent for the price. So glad you went there! Go again and order off the menu sometime — you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Nick
November 22, 2011 at 11:55 am (13 years ago)Yeah supposedly. The burgers are fried in pure lard too, so I’m sure that adds on quite a few calories.
Courtney
November 24, 2011 at 2:13 am (13 years ago)Wow, I’ve been to Vegas several times and have never heard of this place before!! Do you have to wear the hospital gown?
While reading this piece, I reacted thusly:
“Wow…”
“WOW.”
“WHAT?”
“WHAT????”
“OH. MY. GOD.”
I absolutely have to see this place in person, I can’t believe it exists!
Nick
November 24, 2011 at 9:37 am (13 years ago)They actually used to be located in Arizona and only moved to Vegas about a month ago.
You probably don’t HAVE to wear the hospital gown if you don’t want to, but everyone else does, so you’d actually look kind of out of place if you didn’t.
Courtney
November 24, 2011 at 11:11 pm (13 years ago)Really? Everybody wears it? No way. Well, I guess as they say, “when in rome….”
No wonder I haven’t heard of it before, the last time I was in Vegas was May, I think. Oh, I was wondering what kind of condiments come with your burger and fries. Is there mayo, ketchup, mustard available to add to your burger and fries? I actually like mayo & ketchup with my fries or sometimes ranch dressing.
Oh, this reminds me, I recently heard of something called a Butter Burger out in the midwest. I think it is a burger made with butter, cooked in butter, on a bun spread with butter. Something like that. It sounds freaking delicious. Would love to see a review by you on that kind of thing.
Nick
November 25, 2011 at 12:46 am (13 years ago)They had mayo and ketchup and I’m sure mustard as well, but I hate mustard so I wasn’t really paying attention to see If there was any.
I LOVE mixing mayo and ketchup! I call it “metchup” ha ha.
Butter burgers are super good! Basically they put butter on the grill and cook the burgers on top of it and then spread it on the buns as well and throw those on the grill for a little while before assembling the burgers. I’ll definitely write about one at some point!
Courtney
November 27, 2011 at 4:06 am (13 years ago)Awesome! I look forward to an Butterburger piece! I tried to find recipes online because since I can’t find one out here, I would like to try making one. But recipes vary. Some people put a pat of butter *inside* the burger as well. It sounds like Culver’s is supposed to be the original? Anyway, I trust your taste and I would be so grateful if you would be able to figure out the best butter burger recipe or give pointers on what components make a great one. Most of my friends out here who have never been to the midwest are also in awe that there are such things as butterburgers in the world. We are all looking forward to learning more! Thanks!
Nick
November 28, 2011 at 10:56 am (13 years ago)This place in Milwaukee called Solly’s Grille was supposedly the first place that served butter burgers. I’m not sure if Culver’s was just the first to trademark the name “butter burger” or what, but Solly’s was around for about 50 years before the first Culver’s even opened. I think Culver’s just gets the credit since they’re a chain around here and Solly’s just has one location.
I’ve actually never made a butter burger myself at home though, so I’m not sure which recipe would really be the best or taste the best.

Christina
December 10, 2011 at 1:55 pm (13 years ago)regarding the calorie counts/labeling – manufacturers are allowed to be up to 20% off in their calorie counts, and a lot of the time, they tend to round down. Hence why the math doesn’t add up correctly. Another interesting fact – the FDA allows any product with less than 5 calories per serving to be labeled as having “0 calories.”
Duck
December 11, 2011 at 8:16 pm (13 years ago)Diet Mountain Dew, according to the label, has 0 calories per serving It also has 10 calories per 20 ounce bottle. That always amuses me (but now I know why, thanks, Christina).
Amanda
December 12, 2011 at 2:54 pm (13 years ago)I bet if you told the cheesemongers what you were doing with that cheese they would die a little bit inside. I asked them for a good cheese for pizza once and they told me (in a nice way!) that Fromagination cheeses are better suited for a fancy cheese tray versus a pizza. Oh well!
Nick
December 12, 2011 at 4:17 pm (13 years ago)Ha ha ha. If they didn’t even want ONE of their cheeses on a pizza then they’re certainly not going to be happy about this!
Amanda
December 19, 2011 at 3:49 pm (13 years ago)I also love the fact that they leftovers of the cheese wheel are called “orphans”. Makes me feel like I’m doing a good deed by giving them a good home! 🙂

December 13, 2011 at 6:46 am (13 years ago)ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer but i do have to ask… did you really put choco-cheesy fudge on a pizza??
Nick
December 13, 2011 at 10:01 am (13 years ago)I did! Not a ton of it though, and since there was so much other cheese its taste didn’t overpower the pizza or anything. The chocolate cheese fudge is actually super good. I’ll have another blog post coming up at some point where I use the fudge cheese as well.
Ashley

December 20, 2011 at 2:59 am (13 years ago)The first time I heard of a beermosa was in the movie Four Christmases and it was the preferred cocktail at a supposedly super white trash household. I mocked it at first but at second thought figured that they would probably be pretty good. I think I would use a hoegaarden, blue moon, or any Saison beer since it would complement the citrus so well.
Courtney
December 20, 2011 at 4:59 pm (13 years ago)Oh, I should add that I am in San Francisco – a city apparently too far across the country to have embraced the intriguing beermosa.

December 22, 2011 at 10:28 am (13 years ago)Your experience unfortunately is not unique. Some McDonald’s managers don’t understand that you have already paid for your certificates, so you aren’t getting anything free. If you call McDonalds corporate HQ to complain they will give you a $5 Arch card for free. Their number is 866-919-2653. You can also complain to LivingSocial Customer service at 877-521-4191.
Angela J

CT
December 22, 2011 at 10:35 am (13 years ago)I also got this deal and encountered issues the first time I tried to use it. They said the same thing to me that they did you, that I would still have to pay half price for it. They had to get the manager who relented, “gave” me the Big Mac but treated me as though I was pulling a fast one on her. I have since used another voucher at the same McDonald’s and they seemed to have got it worked out now.
Nick
December 22, 2011 at 10:44 am (13 years ago)Yeah, they acted like I was trying to scam them somehow! I just kept trying to explain that yes, it is for half priced Big Macs, but I’ve already paid the half price for them and now I just need to be able to redeem the vouchers.

December 22, 2011 at 1:39 pm (13 years ago)I see deals like this all the time and I loathe them. There’s one going around where I live wherein you buy a voucher with 10 oil changes for $30. There’s all kind of fine print, like expiration dates before your car would need all ten, then they try to up sell you $50+ standard services like windshield wipers and fluid, etc.
I hate coupons for two reasons. The above mentioned type hassles and I end up looking like a prick.
Think about how a McDonald’s employee has to deal with random coupons all the time, and the people that probably make their job harder. It’s neither person’s fault, but the employee sees a middle class white person making a big deal out of $1 and the experience gets worse from there. It’s the company’s fault, and I refuse to play their games.
Coupons are just like rebates, always a pain and never worth it in the end.

December 23, 2011 at 1:56 pm (13 years ago)Happened to me. I could see the purchase under pending for a couple of days after I made the purchase, then it disappeared and shows I have nothing in purchase history. Tried to call living social and never was able to speak to anyone. Oh well.
Betty
December 23, 2011 at 12:22 pm (13 years ago)I went to the big MacDonald at the Michigan aveneu Chicago yesterday and they said they did not accept this kind of voucher and said I could go to some other stores but they did not know which one was accepting that. And it costed me $12 parking cost to park at that MacDonald even though we left immediately. That is ridulous.
Nick
December 23, 2011 at 12:28 pm (13 years ago)Yeah, metered parking in Chicago is never fun!
As far as the McDonald’s not accepting the voucher, it’s apparently up to the individual restaurants as to whether or not they want to accept it, but the problem with that is there’s no way for customers to find out if a location is accepting them without stopping in. Quiznos sold a Groupon recently that not all restaurants participated in, but they at least had an option on the Quiznos website where you could enter your zip code and see which locations near you were actually participating in the deal, which I thought was a nice touch.

December 28, 2011 at 4:02 pm (13 years ago)I did a similar thing with the exact same quesadilla (what? recognize that spell-check) maker. I used some store bought Philadelphia Cheesecake filling, and milk chocolate pieces.
The quesadilla maker is actually great for cooking other things I think you’d enjoy.
If you take some Pillsbury biscuit dough (preferably a package from the cheap four tube packs), split the biscuits into two groups and roll each group into a thin quesadilla sized sheet between slices of parchment paper. It’s easiest to fill the sheets and press the edges together before putting them onto the quesadilla maker, but make sure to spray first each side with non-stick spray just to be safe.
Cook until golden brown (and delicious). The biscuits cook nicely and surround whatever you choose to put inside. My favorite filling so far has been a small cubed dice of swiss cheese, ham, turkey and pepperoni. I can share pics if you’re interested.
Nick
December 28, 2011 at 4:05 pm (13 years ago)My spell-check didn’t recognize the word “quesadilla” either!
That Pillsbury dough idea sounds awesome! I’m definitely going to experiment with that!

December 30, 2011 at 11:43 am (13 years ago)I had the same experience yesterday traveling back through West Virginia. I decided to stop for lunch and use my coupons. My daughter was at a different register and when the store clerk rang up $2.65($1.50 BigMac, $1 Fries, plus tax) she dutifully handed over the money. Being a man of principle (and a bit older…), I questioned the clerk and explained that I had already purchased the coupons. The coupons do not say “free” anywhere on them. Anyway, the manager comped my meal but I was still dissapointed that my daughter had paid. I called McDonalds and they are sending me a $5 Arch Card. I like McDonalds and am sure that the next time they do a discount program like this will not require the clerks to use multiple buttons to ring up the sale.
Nick
December 30, 2011 at 11:47 am (13 years ago)Yeah, the multiple button thing seems to be what’s causing the most confusion. I went to a completely different McDonald’s earlier this week and even though they had a laminated sheet of instructions on how the LivingSocial deal works right next to the register the girl ringing me up was still super confused and still told me that I needed to pay $1.50 until the manager finally came up and helped her.

January 2, 2012 at 12:45 pm (13 years ago)I had the same problem at two different McDonald’s in two different cities just a couple of days apart. One of the locations corrected the issue after speaking with a manager. The other location refused to listen, assist, or speak with the manager, so I cancelled my order and went to another chain.
Today I called the McDonald’s Living Social number (866-919-2653) and provided my complaint. They offered a $5 Arch Card and will be sending it in the mail.
Robert
January 2, 2012 at 9:48 pm (13 years ago)I’ve used three of these so far, and only once did they actually charge me properly (and it took several minutes). I can’t even fathom how McDonald’s of all companies could do such a poor job of rolling out this promotion. I also can’t believe that after having these things for WEEKS that the stores haven’t had re-training sessions. There’s over a million of these coupons floating around!

January 3, 2012 at 10:46 am (13 years ago)Doesn’t Red Lobster offer the all-you-can-eat salad, soup AND biscuits anymore? They used to have that for lunch. It’s been a very long time since we’ve gone, but they did have it at one time…

I would quit!!! You can get all the biscuits you want.. even though we are only supposed to give 1 biscuit for each person and one extra for the “table”, we are also not supposed to serve the biscuits until the food has arrived… biscuits are NOT meant to be a a meal or an appetizer… if you like them so much order a dozen to go.

The local Red Lobster is always crowded but I wonder if our distance from the ocean and lack of local fish/sea food joints is the main reasons.
PETA demands we re-label fish as “sea kittens,”
Sorry… our finny friends are dinner, supper, lunch, whatever.
Local Golden Corral has decent affordable fish offerings, especially at lunch time. My liver quivers with delight when non-breaded oven baked fish is offered.
Rolls, however, are not the “fancy” type but the basic plain rolls are good.

January 3, 2012 at 4:24 pm (13 years ago)I am still pondering what it is about the junior bacon one-buck cheese burger that causes a mild case of indigestion within my aging decrepit body while other Wendy’s fare fails to cause the not-that-severe manifestations.
I can devour a regular Wendy’s burger, for example, the typical non-buck-burger selection when I am splurging of a double cheese burger with lettuce, onion. mayo, and tomato.
I do not believe it is the bacon causing the problem with the buck burger… based upon after-effects and lingering taste it seems it is the bun causing the problem.
This minor problem has existed for years and has reduced the amount of times I have ordered the decent deal.
I adore all value meals but the ongoing economic woes have reduced ALL my outside-the-shanty dining.

January 4, 2012 at 5:37 pm (13 years ago)It took a few persistent emails, but I bypassed the Arch Card offer and got a full refund after experiencing the same problem. LivingSocial said because the complaint was beyond their five day return period they could only give a credit, which was OK except it took much more than five days for them to mail the vouchers. I guess LivingSocial and I both learned to avoid offers involving large franchises employing low wage cashiers. At least they gave a full credit.

January 5, 2012 at 11:45 am (13 years ago)Over here in Amish country we make chicken and waffles a little differently. It’s more of a “chicken and gravy over waffles” kind of thing. Here’s a recipe;

My question is would it be possible to deep fry chicken and gravy balls in waffle batter?
Nick
January 5, 2012 at 11:50 am (13 years ago)That recipe sounds amazing! I’m definitely going to have to try it!
I actually tried deep frying some chicken wings in a waffle batter, but it didn’t work out so well. I think it might have been because I didn’t let the chicken wings cool enough after cooking them though so I had hot chicken wings coated in a cool batter being dropped into hot oil. I might have to give it another shot with some chicken and gravy balls.

January 6, 2012 at 6:26 pm (13 years ago)This is absolutely absurd. How can a company get away with this.

If anything this will turn people away from drity Mac’s.

D) do you Americans call those chicken parts wings? Only they’re the legs of a chicken. The wings are much smaller. Over here we bizarrely call them drumsticks, but that seems less odd than calling them wings.
Nick
January 7, 2012 at 2:43 pm (13 years ago)Thanks! What I used for these was actually the “drumette” portion of the wing. Chicken wings are made up of three portions, the “wingette,” the “drumette” (which look like small drumsticks) and then the wing tip, which is rarely used in wings since it’s so small and barely has any meat.
A lot of people here still refer to the drumette part of the wing as a drumstick, but for a lot of people the only real drumstick is the actual chicken leg itself.
Rodzilla
January 8, 2012 at 8:04 am (13 years ago)Best comment ever.
Drummette/Drumstick mix-up and a skipped letter C.
If this was intentional – brilliant.
Ryan
January 21, 2013 at 12:41 am (12 years ago)Drumsticks are the leg of a chicken. These are the “drumette”.
If you were to compare it to a human arm, the “drumette” would be the portion from your shoulder to your elbow. The “wingette” would be from your elbow to your wrist. The “wing tip” would be your hand.

I now see what you mean by wings, in my head those waffles were massive chicken leg drumsticks, but everything makes much more sense now I’ve realised the scale of it all. I think I thought they were big chicken drumsticks because I was measuring them on the scale of food awesomeness; a scale they completely destroy.

January 16, 2012 at 7:44 pm (13 years ago)First off, I have used Living Social a number of times, and never had an issue. This is a McDonald’s issue. They have done a piss-poor job with setting up their POS system (& save the puns), and an even worse job at notifying local stores as to what it is all about. I have been to four different stores trying to use the coupons, and have had different results. And every time I use it the entire staff try to figure out how to ring it up. Look at the receipt and it says “living social big mac 1.50”, when it should not ring up any amount. I am just as frustrated as everyone else, but we need to focus our complaints to McDonald’s customer service at: 1-866-919-2653. Bottom line to me, though, now that I have tried Big Mac’s for the first time in a while, and they are not even as good as they once were. I for one, will probably never eat one again after I use up my vouchers.
Courtney
January 17, 2012 at 12:23 am (13 years ago)Oh my GOD. One of the reasons I love your blog is that I always discover some dish I’ve never heard of. Wisconsin might as well be a different planet to me. That being said, the idea of a mac and cheese pizza is brilliant! I love mac and cheese! I love pizza! Is there tomato sauce underneath? A creamy garlic sauce? No sauce? What kind of cheese(s)?
I would really appreciate it if you could break down the construction of the mac and cheese pizza for me. It doesn’t have to be in measurements, just the basic idea would be great, enough so that I can try making this at home! Thanks!
Nick
January 17, 2012 at 11:21 am (13 years ago)It’s basically just macaroni noodles and Cheddar cheese and then what seemed like sort of a white sauce, but no tomato sauce.
There wasn’t a ton of sauce though, so if you just used a really creamy cheese sauce on your macaroni noodles that would probably work as well, but if you just search Google for “white pizza sauce recipe” you should be able to find a bunch of different white sauces that you can make that would probably work with it.
Courtney
January 17, 2012 at 8:15 pm (13 years ago)Thanks! I did a google search and there are a couple variations on mac and cheese pizza but most of them have some kind of tomato sauce mixed in. I did, however, find one blog where they used a thin layer of creme fraiche as the “sauce” before laying down the macaroni and then the cheese. I think that is actually brilliant since it would add some tang to it. I look forward to giving it a try using fresh pizza dough from TJ or WF.
Hawkeye
January 17, 2012 at 2:26 pm (13 years ago)Nick, love the website. Any other pizza places you recommend in MKE? I know I’m going a little off topic, but thought you might be a good guy to ask. I’ve been mourning the loss of first Pizza Man and then Olive Pit. Your Aunt Maria said you might be a resource.
Nick
January 17, 2012 at 2:32 pm (13 years ago)I actually LOVE Classic Slice (there’s one in Bay View and one on the East Side).
If you’re looking for more of a classic thin crust type pizza Zaffiro’s (near Brady and Farwell) is one of the best in my opinion.

January 26, 2012 at 10:31 am (13 years ago)Those look tasty…the only wing places we have in my area (upstate-ish NY) are Buffalo Wild Wings and Planet Wings… Would love to see one of those Coke Freestyle machines in action too. What was the flavor of the Hawaiian ones like? Sweet BBQ? Whenever I think Hawaiian I think “ham and pineapple” (like the pizza).
Nick
January 26, 2012 at 11:46 am (13 years ago)The Hawaiian wings sort of reminded me of sweet and sour chicken, although not quite as sweet. It’s funny because up until a couple weeks ago I’d never even tried Hawaiian flavored wings and since then I’ve tried them at two different places.

Jeff
January 29, 2012 at 11:18 am (13 years ago)I never worked for a national chain or any chain for that matter, but my guess the confusion with the two button discount has to do with profit sharing and price differences nationwide. A Big Mac’s price will vary from city to city, so the first button push must bring the price down to $1.50, which is what each franchise will receive when they submit the vouchers to Ronald.
I’m actually pretty surprised this promotion went so badly as while we all know service will vary from location to location, McDonalds is very into manager training and making sure their brand is consistent nation/worldwide.

January 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm (13 years ago)About two years ago, a wings place opened up in my downtown, it serves 50 different flavors of wings, and has since become my go to restaurant. The first time I went I also got the garlic parm wings, but found them too salty, however they have a szechuan flavor and a oranage ginger that I am constantly drawn to. It is my firm belief that all places should serve wings, it would make the world a better place.

Many possibilities.
Cook fish, etc.
Baking is surely the healthiest method since it avoids deep-fat-frying.
Worth emulating to ascertain if one’s particular peccadilloes are pleased by this recipe.
Good pics.

February 1, 2012 at 5:47 pm (13 years ago)In appearance, I detect a general somewhat akin to a mac and cheese taco-like view.
I have always had difficulty manipulating foods when cooking them.
However, some stuff is so basic that even I can do the deed; such as mac and cheese cooked then placed in a glass oven-ready dish atop tuna with a small amount of tuna mixed in.
That omelet sure looks mighty appealing!!!!!!!!!

I actually planned on writing about the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine and its 135+ flavor choices prior to Wingstop inviting me in for a visit (where I sampled four of their nine delicious wing flavors.)
Wait, what was I talking about again? Perhaps I should take some Ginkgo biloba to help with this sudden memory loss…

Jordan Witkov
February 6, 2012 at 10:04 am (13 years ago)Nick,
I was truly inspired by your creation and used the inspiration for a great Super Bowl snack.
I took the waffles and made them a little more savory using a chive, Parmesan, and maple batter on a baked wing. I also paired it with a blue cheese maple syrup sauce. (Check it out here: http://whatimade4dinner.tumblr.com/post/17129086100 )
Love your blog.
Thanks.
Jordan
Nick
February 6, 2012 at 10:14 am (13 years ago)Those look awesome! I’ve been meaning to make some again and this time add a nice thick breading to the chicken wings and maybe add bacon or chocolate chips to the waffles, but I still haven’t gotten around to it.
Jordan Witkov
February 7, 2012 at 5:27 pm (13 years ago)Glad you approve Nick! I decided to go more of the savory route; the parmesan and chive worked really well.
I contemplated putting bacon in the batter — fruit could be interesting too. I wonder how the batter would stick to a breaded wing?
Keep ’em coming.
Emma
February 10, 2012 at 11:11 am (13 years ago)Please tell me I’m not the only one who would order the Chocolate Chunk Chicken Frosty? When I was younger, one of my favorite things to do would be dipping my chickens in a Frosty!
Courtney
February 11, 2012 at 12:59 am (13 years ago)Nice recipe for the beer cheese soup! Thanks for sharing.
Also, this is the first time I have ever seen a pretzel soup bowl. Is it the texture of a soft pretzel? Where do you get them? I swear, Wisconsin is like an entirely different country. Love it.
Nick
February 11, 2012 at 7:59 am (13 years ago)Yep, the pretzel bowls are similar in texture to a soft pretzel so you can kind of break them apart and dip pieces into your soup as you go along.
They sell them in bakeries and grocery stores here.

Sean
February 13, 2012 at 8:16 pm (13 years ago)This looks legitimately delicious. I’m giving it a shot.

I had this random idea pop into my head the other day and was immediately reminded of the concoctions you make.
At KFC, I want to get cole slaw and chicken and make egg rolls then dip them in gravy. I also thought to make some sweet and sour sauce and coat a couple pieces of extra crispy to make a full meal. It sounds so good in my head, hahaha.

March 7, 2012 at 5:14 pm (13 years ago)Nick: I love your site and many of your ideas… gonna try the cheesy poof crusted chicken a.s.a.p. As for Dr. Pepper 10… Screw Dr. Pepper/Snapple and anything they try from here on out. I hate saying this, because I grew up drinking Dr. Pepper, but I hope they screw the pooch this next year! Seems the Greedheads at Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group sued the Dublin Dr. Pepper Company, because Dublin Dr. Pepper violated their business agreement. Now legally, Dr. Pepper/Sapple Group is in the ‘right’, but morally they are wrong! Dublin Dr. Pepper was made to cease their production of the original cane sugar recipe, because they offered the product on the internet. The Dublin agreement confined them to a 40 mile radius around Dublin, Texas. The little bottling plant in Dublin, Texas was in no danger of cutting into Big Dr. Pepper’s margin, but greedheads being greedheads ended the production of a 120+ year old Texas icon. I wish nothing but bad things for the Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group. In closing, your site is awesome! I tried DP-10 before their stupidity & my boycott, and I have to agree with you DP-10 is the pits.
