Ruby Tuesday is among my favorite of the chain restaurants. Scratch that – it is my favorite chain restaurant. The food is good, they always have some sort of “deal” or coupon making it an even more attractive option, and their salad bar is, quite simply, phenomenal. I feel like I could eat 50 pounds of their pumpernickel croutons and not tire of them. And this in a day and age when places don’t really do salad bars anymore.

Q: Who offers a salad bar?

A: No one.

Not sure who I’m quoting there, but you catch my drift. It is a great chain restaurant that I have never had a bad experience with or at. There’s a famous story* of a man who was on a business trip in northern Alabama (one of the prettiest areas in the U.S. btw, especially in the fall) and ate at a Ruby Tuesday for every day that he was there, 5 nights in a row. Well folks, the man in that famous story is ME! And I have absolutely no regrets about doing so. Each meal was great in its own right.

Needless to say, RT is among my favorite places to eat out. I went there this weekend with my wife after a long day of doing yardwork. As a sidenote, is there anything better than going out to dinner after you’ve worked in the yard all day? To me there is not. I think it’s because doing yardwork is inversely proportional to eating a good meal on the pain/pleasure scale, with yardwork obviously being firmly rooted in the pain camp. Anyway, we got there around 7pm on a Saturday, which is normally the kiss of death in terms crowd sizes and wait times. But to my pleasant surprise, there wasn’t much of a wait at all and we got seated right away! Another thing I love about it – no overly long wait times! (And no, it’s not because most others consider RT to be not that great or “just OK” – I know what you’re thinking. It’s because it’s a hidden gem that most people haven’t yet fully discovered and instead choose other, pricier non-salad bar options.

Anyway, after getting seating RIGHT away, we put in our orders: salmon for her and fried shrimp for me. Yeah, I know, shrimp again. I have a shrimp problem, what can I say. Per usual, I ordered with lots of special requests: steamed broccoli instead of the cole slaw, extra lemon (for my shrimp), some tartar sauce (instead of just cocktail sauce), and my standard request of no salt on the fries. I do the last for three reasons: 1) to cut down (albeit weakly) on my salt consumption, 2) you can always add your own if you wish, and 3) you almost invariably get a fresh batch of fries because most are pre-salted in advance (this is ALWAYS true at fast food places). I also like my food, in general, on the crispier or more well-done side but I don’t mention this as I don’t want to be “difficult.” After all, I’m easy!!

As we wait for our food, the only thing I’m a little disappointed by is that we didn’t have any coupons like we usually do. They always typically have a “buy one entree, get one half off” deal but we were fresh out as I believe I gave my last away to my niece for Christmas. She was slightly displeased which perplexed me a bit. I mean, it’s half off a whole entree at Ruby Tuesday – what exactly is the problem?? However, to my great delight, my wife does a quick search on her phone and finds one online – SCORE!! So now we have two great meals coming our way with at least 8 bucks off one of them. Yeah, I know: well played.

Our meals arrive and I couldn’t be happier with mine. Thrilled is a more apt description for the following reasons:

• Shrimp are huge
• There are 9 in total (nice!)
• Shrimp are fried to a beautiful, deep golden brown. No rush job here!
• Meal includes hushpuppies which I didn’t realize (bonus)
• Broccoli is also cooked perfectly with a nice crunch and a garlic tang
• Fries are perfect, literally perfect. Crispy, crunchy, well-done…and unsalted!

In short, this is one of the best meals I’ve had in quite some time. Everything was cooked to my absolute satisfaction and tasted great; I couldn’t have been happier or more pleased. I didn’t think it was possible, but Ruby Tuesday managed to outdo itself for me on this visit. I give it an unprecedented 6 out of 5 honks!! Yes, that’s right, a bonus honk! RT, you earned it!!

*famous only among my immediate family. Actually just one of my brothers. And not sure he even remembers me telling him.

Hi folks! Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I’m sure you’ve all missed me greatly and definitely noted my absence. I know at least one person did but I’m related to her so not sure that counts?? Anyway, again my apologies for my brief/lengthy/unconscionable absence. So fear not, dear readers – the Goose is back! Let rejoicing commence.

One thing I’ve noticed about doing this blog, is it that it can be a relatively expensive one to maintain given that it’s about restaurant and take-out food. Therefore, for budgetary reasons, I will occasionally write about food that I happen to have on hand, in my own pantry. However, rest assured, I won’t ever write about boring, ordinary foods such as oatmeal or saltine crackers. “Have you tried this rice stuff?? What an amazing side!!” No, rather, I will continue to focus on more interesting and “new” food items as much as possible. A good example of this was my recent post about the “Flamin’ Hot” Doritos. Which you can read by clicking here. I know, pretty impressive. And I don’t even have a background in Computer Science! Anyway, thank you for allowing me this latitude, which segues nicely to my next post…

If mac-n-cheese isn’t the best side, it’s in the top 2 or 3. Especially homemade mac-n-cheese. But even the boxed stuff is good. The problem is, it takes a while to make, especially for a side. No one (normal) wants to spend more than 10 minutes preparing a side. I can barely spend more than 10 minutes preparing a whole meal. That’s why the mac-n-cheese “cups” are such a novel and practical invention: all the deliciousness of mac-n-cheese without all the fuss and time. Granted the cups are designed for the appetite of a small child rather than an adult making them a relative rip-off, but the concept is great.

My wife recently picked up a box of the Kraft white cheddar “deluxe” macaroni and cheese cups. Having had the “regular” cups before, I can tell you what sets these apart are the fact they come with real squeezable cheese, as opposed to the normal powered stuff. However, full disclosure: I have nothing against nor have I ever had a bad experience with, powered cheese. It’s just that it’s not perceived as luxurious as squeezable cheese, such as it is. Anyway, as I mentioned before, what makes these products so great is how easy they are to make: remove the lid (very important), take out the cheese sauce packet, fill water up to the conveniently marked line within the cup, microwave for about 3 1/2 minutes, stir in the cheese sauce and voila: instant mac-n-cheese! The process couldn’t be simpler, which is a huge thing for a non-cook like myself.

After following the directions (to a tee mind you), I dug in to my cup. The first thing I noticed is that it had a bit soupier consistency than its powered brethren, which I didn’t care for. I like a nice thick and creamy mac and cheese; this one was much too liquidy for my tatses. The cheese contributed to this I felt since it didn’t absorb the excess water as well as the powder does. I also found the appearance to be a bit off-putting. The dull yellow of it made it seem relatively “lifeless” in comparison to to its traditional bright orange color. Finally, I noticed a definite difference in taste with the squeeze cheese added in than with the powered cheese, and I found I preferred the powered stuff. The combination of all of these factors (consistency, color, and most of all taste) made me missing regular version. So while Kraft may label these cups “deluxe” I found them to be anything but. I give it a disappointing 2 out of 5 honks. It goes to show you that bigger (or deluxer) isn’t always better.

 **Update: I tried another cup the next day and it was MUCH improved.  It seems the key was the water: I used a touch less and it made all the difference. I still prefer the original version to the deluxe, but I am revising my orginal rating of 2 honks to 3. It only seems fair. 

Just a quick shout-out to the good folks at Aunt Jamima for their (her?) delicious-tasting “easy crepes.” Had these babies for breakfast this morning and they truly were delicious. Plus they couldn’t be easier to make. The recipe calls for only two ingredients besides the crepe mix: eggs and water. How easy is that? I even managed to make them myself which is no small feat considering my overall incompetence as a cook. They came out looking beautiful, as pictured below, and cooked very quickly, due to crepes’ thinness. It’s like making a “skinny” pancake, except less cakey and more eggy, which I personally prefer. I added a dash of vanilla to the mix, which I HIGHLY recommend. But please, folks, when using vanilla as an addition to any recipe (or coffee which is also very good btw), do NOT use the imitation crap. Spring the few extra dollars for the pure stuff. It does make a difference. <condescending sigh>

Anyway, again, I highly recommend them. Easy to make and a “fun” food. Some would even say whimsical. I added blackberries and chocolate chips to mine, but you can add whatever fruit you prefer or whatever you happen to have on hand (which was my case). I would have preferred some raspberries as well and perhaps some powered sugar, but alas, it was not be be. But still great, and still worth making. Pick up a box or two next time you’re at your local supermarket. You can find them in the “powered breakfast mixes” aisle.*

*Note: may not be an actual aisle in the supermarket.  But it should be. 

Doritos has long been the standard-bearer among tortilla chips. Think tortilla chips and chances are you’ll think Doritos. Doritos has earned this reputation through a quality chip and a tasty line up of flavors: regular (Nacho), Spicy Nacho, the ever popular Cool Ranch, Spicy Sweet Chili, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. It seems the good folks at Doritos are constantly expanding their arsenal of delicious tasting chips. I’ve long been a fan but this is like saying I’ve long been a fan of drinking water when I’m thirsty; anyone who claims not to like Doritos truly needs to have his or her head examined.

Recently, I was privileged to sample one its newest entrants to the market: the “Flamin’ Hot” Doritos. One of the things that sets Doritos apart from the “pretenders” is its unique seasoning blend that accompanies each of its chip varieties. It’s the same thing that make a Coke taste like a Coke and a cola from ShopRite, well, taste like a grocery store cola. Not nearly as good, and a whole hell of a lot less satisfying. Doritos has pretty much nailed the perfect seasoning blend, which is the primary reason why they’re so popular. I particularly enjoy their varieties that feature a “heavier” dose of seasoning, which is typically those in their Bold lineup of offerings. In the world of snacks, few things are better than a bowl of heavily-coated Doritos chips.

Which brings me to the subject of tonight’s post. My wife had picked up a bag for us to try. In my typical wife fashion, she picked it up about a week ago and only managed to eat a handful or two in all that time. She has tremendous willpower and self-constraint, two concepts that are a little more foreign to me. Anyway, we had some with our lunch and all I have to say is WOW. They were fantastic. Nice and well-coated and extremely flavorful as you would expect from having “flaming” in its name. In truth, I would have preferred something a tad spicier but this was a very minor I issue I had with them. Overall, they were bold, delicious, and with a terrific crunch. In short, they were all you could really ask for out of a taco chip. Some people might find them a bit too “bold” for their tastes but then again those people aren’t writing this blog. 5 out of 5 honks!

 

I love me some Taco Bell. Among fast food places, it probably ranks as my favorite. I don’t have it often as it’s, you know, cheap Mexican food served fast, which is not exactly the stuff of champions – but man is it tasty. On a recent late night coming home from work (i.e., tonight) I stopped there for a late dinner/quite bite. This is always a dangerous thing to do at a Taco Bell. Because everything on their menu is so relatively cheap, there’s a tendency to overdo it. Many times I have stopped there with the intentions of only getting a quesadilla and MAYBE a couple of tacos to go with it, and before I know it, I’ve ordered a quesadilla, 2 tacos, nachos, and 2 orders of cinnamon twists because “they never give you enough in the first bag.” <Sigh>

Anyway, on this particular night I was craving a simple chicken quesadilla and 1 regular taco. The only “extra” I was going to add was sour cream to my taco. That was it. A simple plan. Then I pull up at the drive-thru and “all hell breaks loose” (figuratively speaking, of course) due to the plethora of enticing options staring back at me. It was a plethora I tell you! Bottom line is I started to waffle. Indecision crept in. Guy at the drive-thru tells me to go ahead with my order. I tell him I need a minute. Minutes creep by and I’m still on the fence. Drive-thru guy asks if I’m ready yet. “Not yet, dammit!!” I want to scream. Instead I say “yup, just a sec…” Cars are now behind me. First one, then two. I can feel their headlights boring into me (so to speak). Now, in a somewhat panicked state, I decide to abort my first choice (always a risky food move) and go with their “$5 box” option which includes 2 regular tacos (one with the Doritos shell), a drink, and of course, their new naked chicken chalupa taco. This was the one that first caught my eye when I pulled up and when I saw it came with a creamy avocado sauce, I was sold. I had to have it. Along with a order of cinnamon twists.

The funny thing is I didn’t even put the whole “naked” concept together in my mind (mainly due to my frenzied state at the time). On the board it looked like it came in a thick, crunchy shell. And it looked delicious. Only after I unwrapped it did it dawn on me: the shell is the chicken! Hence, the nakedness part. Anyway, as I was starving, I dived right in.

The chicken “shell” was very nice: a nice size and not too greasy, The toppings inside were good as well but meager: some lettuce, cheese, and a few diced tomatoes. They always seem to skimp on the tomatoes and I can’t figure out why. Are tomatoes THAT much more expensive then the lettuce and cheese?? The avocado sauce though was terrific: creamy with just the right among of tang to it. Overall, however, it felt a bit weird – like I wasn’t really eating a taco. I was basically eating a folded over chicken patty with a few toppings and a good-tasting sauce inside. Maybe great for some, but I wasn’t really a fan. I missed the crunch and texture from having a shell or tortilla encase the whole thing. It still tasted good, but again felt a little strange. I guess I’m just not one of those “no bun/no shell/only meat” kind of geese.

Overall, I give it 2.5 honks. Definitely not terrible, but I probably wouldn’t order it again.

Hi there! Before I begin, I’d like to take a moment to recognize all my new followers and readers of the Goose Juice. And not just here in the States, but international as well. Hola Colombia! Como estates? Also, shout out to my handful of readers in Sweden and Ireland, and to my one visitor from Canada. Hopefully I haven’t lost you Canada since there’s only one of you out there so please stay strong…and maybe tell your neighbor or coworker about my blog. For what it’s worth, I happen to love the Blue Jays. Anyway, again thank you all for visiting and especially if you are now officially a follower. I can’t say you won’t regret it, but I appreciate it all the same. 🙂

Thanks for indulging me a bit and we’ll now return to our regular programming…

I absolutely love Jimmy Hula’s It’s among my favorite of the “fast casual” restaurants here in FL. Not sure if they are in other states, but I don’t think so. Can’t really see this kind of place with its beachy vibe and theme working in the Midwest or upstate NY so it makes sense they’re in FL. Anyway, what Jimmy Hula’s is known for is their tacos, specifically their fish tacos, but honestly all their tacos are quite delicious – I have yet to have a bad one. They’ve also started offering specialty items that aren’t part of their “normal” menu. This is where their “Johnny Tsunami” shrimp tacos come in. They offer shrimp tacos as part of their regular menu but the Tsunami shrimp tacos are an interesting (and delicious) twist. But first a little background:

For a while now, Jimmy Hula’s has offered Tsunami Shrimp as one of their starters. These shrimp are basically in the same vein as the “Bang, Bang” and similar shrimp varieties which seem to be riding quite the popular wave these days. It’s no wonder though. You take shrimp, which are already delicious, and then fry them and then toss them in some variation of a sweet and spicy sauce and then offer them with a cool, creamy dressing and – DUH – you’ve got a huge winner on your hands. Here is the official description of the Tsunami Shrimp appetizer : “Crispy, cajun shrimp. Sweet and spicy Tsunami sauce. Coleslaw.” Um, yes, I’ll take 7 of those…thanks.

So imagine my (pleasant) surprise when on a recent visit, I noticed they were offering a Johnny Tsunami TACO as their “Taco of the Month.” Me likely. The poster included a picture, which looked fantastic not surprisingly, and a description: crispy battered Tsunami shrimp, red and green cabbage, scallions, cilantro, and their Honey Hobanero “Boss” sauce. Hiyiyi. I was sold even before I got to the scallions…plus I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for anything that has the word “boss” in it. Not sure what it is, but it’s true. Needless to say, my mind was made up in terms of what I was having.

I had to wait a while for my food as I often do here as they seem perennially short-staffed. It’s like they intentionally hire one less cashier than is actually needed or that everytime I go in someone has called out. I don’t mind this though since the food is always good and if there’s one thing I can be infinitely patient for, it’s good food. In fact when dining out, I’ll often remark to the waiter/waitress that I’m in no hurry and that they can take their time. Not sure if it makes any difference, but I feel better about doing it. Yes, I get it, it’s weird – move along.

Anyway, my food finally arrives and it has indeed been worth the wait. The first thing I notice is a nice, generous amount of shrimp. The second thing I notice is that they are cooked nice and toasty brown. I can’t stand when places “rush” the frying process and the shrimp are not as toasty or crunchy as they could be. So they get another checkmark in my book. The third thing I notice is that the shrimp are not swimming in sauce, but rather lightly glazed. This is another pet peeve of mine: when places douse their food in sauce like they’re trying to put out a fire. Another little thing, but it goes a long way with me. The rest of the ingredients looked fresh and delicious as well, down to the shredded carrots which I was not even expecting. How about that, Canada?? Just seeing if you are still with me. Probably not.

Most importantly, the taste of the shrimp tacos pretty much matched my expectations with the exception that I would have preferred my shrimp a tad spicier, or more seasoned. Aside from this small quibble, however, it was a great meal and a great choice. I give it 4 out of 5 honks. With slightly spicier shrimp, it would have been an easy 5. Nice job, as usual, by the good folks at Jimmy Hula’s.

Just a quick shout-out to the good folks at Rouses Market in Youngsville, LA. My sister-in-law picked some of these up while I was visiting recently. She said they were “amazing.” I was skeptical. Then I tried one. And then 5. I was wrong. They are indeed amazing. Light, crispy, and oh so buttery. Here are the first three ingredients: almonds (good), sugar (better), butter (cream) – jackpot. It’s no wonder these things are so tasty…and nearly impossible to only eat one. Mrs. Goose ended up picking up 3 boxes to take home with us. We have one box left. Mind you we returned home rather recently. If you find yourself in Louisiana stop in to Rouses and pick up a box or two. Or seven. Whatever, they won’t go to waste – I promise you. 5 out of 5 honks!

Panda Express is an interesting quick serve-style Chinese restaurant. In contrast to the normal not great quality (and not very healthy) food you typically receive at most Chinese take-out places, Panda Express offers a higher quality and slightly more healthy (as well as more expensive) alternative. They have the same type of dishes as most Chinese places, but again, are generally a “notch above” in terms of overall quality. It’s not one of my favorite places, but it certainly isn’t among my least favorite either.

Recently I was out doing some errands and decided to stop there for some take-out dinner. I went with their “plate” option which includes a heaping of rice (fried or brown) or lo mein and two main entrees such as orange chicken, beef and broccoli, or some variety of fried shrimp. They also have the “bigger plate” which includes three entrees and the “bowl” which is simply one entree and one side. Their plate option seems to be the most popular and comes in around $7.50 which isn’t too bad of a deal.

For my dinner, I went with brown rice (less tasty but healthier) and their “Sweetfire” chicken and Shanghai Angus steak. The Sweetfire chicken is basically chunks of fried white meat chicken with peppers, onions, and pineapple in a sweet-spicy sauce. The Shanghai steak includes onions, mushrooms, and asparagus in a nice brown sauce. I should note that the Shanghai steak is considered one of their “premium” entrees which costs an extra $1.25 more. Kind of nickle and dimey in my mind but I went for it anyway.

The first thing I noticed (and didn’t like) is that their plates are designed to hold about 4x as much rice/lo mein (i.e., the cheap stuff) and measly portions of the entrees (i.e., the good stuff). Now, I realize Panda Express is a business just like any other and they obviously aren’t going to give you as much protein as carbs due to the cost factor, but their ratio still seems unfairly disproportionate. So after the guy serving me gives me four heapings of the rice in the giant “carbs” slot within the tray, he then proceeds to give me my extremely rationed potions of steak and chicken. It didn’t help that the manager happened to be standing right next to him, though I don’t think it would have made any difference in terms of the amounts that they gave me. He seemed pretty by the book, and I certainly wasn’t going to get one chicken or steak chunk more than would fit in his modestly-sized serving ladle. Sound familiar, Chipotle? Anyway, it at least looked very appetizing and I paid my $9.43 (including tax) and left.

When I got home, I first tried the rice. Bland and unflavorful as I expected but I don’t hold this against them since I order the brown rice. Brown rice is, by its very nature, bland and unflavorful. That’s why it’s a lot healthier for you. I next dove into the steak and this is where my meal really went downhill. As I mentioned, Panda Express doesn’t give you a lot of meat to begin with and three of my steak chunks were extremely fatty and basically inedible. This amounted to a fair size portion of my entire entree and I was obviously none too pleased. Especially since I had paid an upcharge for it. I don’t mind paying an upcharge but this should come with the expectation that ALL of the entree is edible, not a random mix of mostly edible with some pure fatty portions thrown in. Not good. The asparagus and mushrooms were fine but you’re not ordering this dish for some asparagus and mushrooms. Very, very disappointed.

I moved on to the chicken which was very good and in a delicious sauce. I appreciated the fact that it wasn’t too sweet, as often these sauces can be. The chicken was of high quality and cooked perfectly. It helped to salvage what otherwise was a mediocre meal at best.

In sum, I give it 2 out of 5 honks. If not for the chicken I would have given it a 0 or 1. For the price I paid, I don’t feel I got much value. 80% rice with a little meat and vegetables here and there. You can do better. And Panda Express can do a LOT better.

I have long been a fan of Panera, despite its relatively high cost. Their quality and freshness are among the best in the “quick serve” food industry. On a recent visit, I decided to give one of their “pick two” options a try. The Pick 2 is where you can choose 1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup or a 1/2 salad and a cup of soup…or 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad. It’s basically two half portions of their menu options for a cheaper price than if you were to buy them individually. For Panera, this means that you can actually buy a meal for less than $20. Sorry Panera, bit of a cheap shot! But actually not too far off if you add a drink and one of their delicious cookies or other desserts. Like I said, Panera is not exactly known as a leader in low prices but the quality of their ingredients helps make up for this.

Anyway, I went with the half steak and arugula sandwich and a cup of broccoli cheddar. Side note: I LOVE arugula. I’m not sure what it is as I’m not really a “salad” person but I think it’s the unique tanginess of the leaves. It’s also hard to find arugula in general due to the prevalence of its big older brothers: (Baby) Spinach and Spring (Mix). They tend to dominate the salad landscape. But anyway, I digress. My sandwich came with the aforementioned arugula, a generous amount of high-quality roast beef (cooked nice and rare), tomatoes, PICKLED onions, and this delicious creamy, spicy mustard spread served on sourdough bread. I’ve ordered this sandwich before and once again, it did not disappoint. Panera clearly knows what it’s doing as the ingredients compliment each other perfectly. And again, the roast beef they use is excellent, similar to the Boar’s Head London Broil variety. All of this makes for a delicious tasting sandwich, one of the best I’ve ever had as a matter of fact.

My soup, broccoli cheddar, was also very good and paired nicely with my steak sandwich. Panera has a solid reputation for their soups, and it is well deserved. However, I’m not sure if the hype quite matches the product. My soup was definitely good but it wasn’t amazing. I liked the fact that it wasn’t overly cheesy, but I found it a bit lacking in the broccoli department. I have also found their soups to be a little on the salty side, but this could just be a matter of preference. More than a few people I know are obsessed with salt so they may find less salt too bland. But again, it was still a very tasty soup. I especially liked having a half baguette to mop up some of the soup “residue” with. A nice touch which again demonstrates Panera’s attention to their food detail.

Overall, I give my meal 4 out of 5 honks. The sandwich was a clear 5 but the soup couldn’t quite match it. Still it was a great and satisfying (and fairly healthy) meal and one that I would have again.

Recently I had the privilege of visiting Pizza Artista in Broussard while visiting family in south Louisiana. For those not in “the know,” Pizza Artista is among the “make your own” pizza chains, similar to Blaze. I was pleasantly surprised upon entering as the establishment was not at all crowded and very clean and bright. The toppings were plentiful and really “popped” off the pizza making area. These kind of places are my favorite among pizza joints as they allow you to fully customize your pie, down to your type of crust, and for a great value. After some pleasant banter with the lead pizza maker person (artist?), I decided to “create my own” and went with a cauliflower crust pie with white sauce, chicken, spinach, garlic, sundried tomatoes, and a moderate amount of mozzarella on top. It was a beauty before it even went into the oven. Once done (about 4 minutes later), I opted to top it with fresh basil and their olive oil finishing sauce. Both took what was already a great pie and made it even better.

However, if I had to name just one ingredient as my favorite, it would be the cauliflower crust. Much of this stems from the fact that I had heard of but never tried this type of crust. Frankly I wasn’t expecting much and I realized I was taking a huge gamble. After all, there’s no “going back” on crust type unlike toppings you may not happen to care for, which can be easily picked off. My risk though was handsomely rewarded as not only did the crust far exceed my expectations, but it paired wonderfully with the white sauce and other ingredients. The fact that it was healthier to boot was icing on the proverbial cake.

Overall my pizza was fantastic and just how a good pizza should be: fresh, hot, and extremely tasty. And at just a hair over $10, a great value as well. I give it an easy 5 out of 5 honks. Well done P.A.!
