This blog was
originally intended for recipes I had tried or was thinking of trying.
Well, even though it looks like I haven’t cooked in the past 2 years, I
have. I just am REALLY lazy about putting any of the recipes I’ve used on
this blog. So I decided to go in a different direction. This blog
is now going to be a place where I review food and restaurants. Now that
I am going to the chiropractor every week (at the ungodly hour of 9 am) I have
been eating breakfast out at least once a week. As you can see by the
title, today I went to Chick-Fil-A (or as my nephew Liam would call it: Chicky-Way).
For the last couple weeks I had been going to Panera Bread. Their
food is amazing and doesn’t taste remotely like poo. Anyway today I decided
to go somewhere that was cheaper because, as amazing as their food is, Panera
is a bit expensive.
Now I’m not someone
who could be called impulsive. I’m not the kind of person who sees a
restaurant I’ve never heard of and decides to take a chance and eat there.
I’m the kind of person who researches a restaurant before I try it.
I’ll look at reviews, check out their website, and carefully examine
their menu (mostly to look for hidden pork/bacon) before I’ll set foot in the
place. The only exception is if someone is treating me to a meal, because
if you’re paying I’ll eat pretty much anywhere. But I digress, back to Chicky-Way.
Now I’ve been to
Chicky-Way before and I usually love their food. In fact up till now I
had never had anything from Chicky-Way that didn’t taste good. But today
I decided to try and be a little more health conscious. Lately I have
been eating a lot of bread and according to my sister "bread is the
devil" so basically I was trying to not eat the devil. I decided to
try their multigrain oatmeal with fruit. Sounds good doesn’t it? It
even says this on their website (yes I checked out their breakfast menu before
I went, don’t judge) “anything but dry and instant, our hearty oatmeal has
flax, whole wheat and buckwheat.” LIES! Now I didn’t see them “prepare”
my food because I was getting a straw for my lemonade, but it took about a
minute. It was a tiny bowl full of what
tasted like instant oatmeal with a package of 5 raisins and some nuts.
But wait that’s not all! For just a couple extra dollars I also got
a “bowl” of fruit. The fruit was
extra. Now I’ve had oatmeal at McDonald’s
that was better. McDonald’s oatmeal is
instant but it comes in a bigger bowl and the fruit comes with it. It is also cheaper. If I’m eating and thinking to myself “man I
should have just gone to McDonald’s” something is very wrong.
I
should state here that I do really like Chicky-Way (their waffle fries are
AMAZING). I just didn’t like/hated their
oatmeal. What I am saying is DON’T BUY
THE OATMEAL, SAVE YOURSELVES! Anyway
stay tuned for my next blog to see what I eat for breakfast on Wednesday! Seriously people get a life already.
