That just screams microwave it.…

Scrolling down my feed I saw that Wingstop has a new offering: their Protein Pack. As they say, it is “packed” with 160 grams of protein. Honestly that sounds pretty good to me right now. But here’s the thing, isn’t just their regular wings with a compelling new name? Yes, yes it is just literally…

Nestle saw an opportunity
When I saw the box of Vital Pursuit Chicken Mozzarella Pizza, I thought I’d buy it. It seemed like an option created for the health and fitness conscious consumer. I figured I’d try it and look into it. Turns out I was right, but Nestle had a much more specific target market in mind: GLP-1…

Just a quick Vegas restaurant review
While I could have very easily come to Vegas to gamble away my savings, instead I took a chance on the restaurant scene. Here are two of the restaurants I visited while in town. With Love Always With Love Always is an assuming burger joint. That’s a lie. You certainly know something is up…
