When an organic burger joint opened in my neighborhood, I was skeptical. It seemed gimmicky, so I avoided BareBurger as long as I could. Every time I walked by, it was hopping, so I shelved my suspicion and sampled my first all natural burger.

Wendy’s “Premium Fish Fillet” Sandwich is made with Panko Breadcrumbs and Cod, which made me want to try it. The meat was white, but a bit flavorless, and the Panko didn’t make it as light and crisp as I hoped. The Bun was good, it didn’t disintegrate as fast as other Wendy’s Buns do (too much air). I’d like Pickles on this Sandwich if I have it again. The Cheese was $0.40 extra. Overall it’s an okay value. Related Link: http://www.wendys.com... Read Full Story

This week I believe I will have a good week. Although, today I had a steak for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, I skipped the mashed potatos and substituted a salad with balsamic vinegrette, but I had the brocolli. In total my meal was 359+35+103+50 calories which is 547, BUT, I had a visiting vendor from China and did not want to be rude and get the salad bar. If you look at the menu, you can see it could have been MUCH worse, and I only had 75 calories for breakfast, so it is 7:15 PM and I've only... Read Full Story
