On a rather nice evening in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, my life is changed by two pizzas. It is at Great Lake, named by Alan Richman in a GQ article as the best pizza in America.
Pizza has been a large part of my life, as you can tell by my posting history. Today [...]
Eick sent me some Nature’s Valley Granola Nut Clusters the other day. I was pretty hungry so I ripped it open and hucked some into my mouth. They were dry and strangely boring, which is why this review will be short and probably boring.
Flavor: A little bit of honey, a little bit of peanut and [...]

Note: This guest review is brought to you by Slanch, writer of The Slanch Report.
It took a while to summon the courage to open the Pineapple Jerky package. Not because the product was so daunting, I just have a hard and fast rule to avoid eating anything that so directly resembles an asshole. However, with [...]

If you’re anything like me, you enjoy an online existence. Said existence involves not working, reading news, humor websites, screwing with people on 4chan, and trying not to read message boards on political sites. We are inundated with advertisements and people propping up their causes, whether silly or not. New memes like Failblog and LOLcats [...]

(Want to try a McDonald’s Angus Third Pounder? See the bottom of this post to win free Angus burgers!)
Today, July 2nd, McDonald’s introduced a new burger to their menu across the nation. The Angus Third Pounders are the first new burgers the company has launched since the Big ‘N Tasty in 2001, this after two [...]
It was a hunk of mozzarella cheese with flakes of beef jerky in it, and that’s exactly what it tasted like. Sure, that sounds ok in theory, but I don’t really enjoy biting into giant hunks of mozzarella cheese.

A month or two ago I had the opportunity to try Z Burger, an up and coming burger chain in the DC metro area. The worst part about Z Burger is the fact that it is essentially a blatant copycat of Five Guys. However, this is also the best part about it. Instead of falling short, they [...]

A while back, a friend of So Good blog, Bacon Freak, sent a care package to the SG World HQ with a number of their baconcentric products. The one I found most interesting was their Maple Bacon Pancake Mix.
Last weekend, I decided to try it out. One reason I chose this item was my love for flapjacks, [...]

The other day, I received a small cardboard box in the mail. A small sticker affixed to the side told me to expect “Pizza Zing!” I was, as one would expect, excited.
Idea: Take the Big Three pizza toppings from any NYC pizza-eatery (Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes) and combine them in one easy-to-use container. [...]

Note from Eick: It has been a tremendous honor having Lemmonex contribute to So Good for the past 6 months, and her weekly column, “I Try it So You Don’t Have To” has been an absolute perfect fit for So Good. I have been delighted to have her on board over the past 6 months. [...]
This product is found in the health food/organic aisle in my Giant.
Health food. Herring in sour cream. Does not compute.
I’ve had my eye on this one for a while, but the fear has always stopped me. It is extreme. This week I put on my big girl panties and grabbed the jar. Pray for me.
Smell: [...]

As a “foodie” (a term I am somewhat conflicted about), people often express shock and dismay when I admit I eat the occasional lean cuisine or can of soup. Look, it isn’t ideal, but sometimes I am busy. Truthfully, there are a few frozen meals I shamefully love. I don’t need your judgment!
When [...]

When I was a kid, we used to drive to Florida to visit my grandma…from Rhode Island. These trips were torturous. The only thing to do to pass the time was reading, which got old at about hour 17, and to mercilessly slap my brother in the back seat.
The one beacon of hope [...]

One of the nice things about working for an internet company is that when people here have food related clients I get to try out new products. One of our latest campaigns is for the new Bertolli’s Oven Baked Meals. I picked up three different packages, the Tri-Color Four Cheese Ravioli, the Chicken Parm & [...]

I have been eying these toaster pastries for a while. I have a special love in my heart for Pop-Tarts, but as an adult, it is sometimes hard to justify eating them.
The other morning, as I chatted to a friend online, she told me she had to run and go warm up her “fibrous [...]

I was dreading the column this week.
Now, I love trying all this weird stuff so you don’t have to…I consider it a duty and privilege. Yet, after Thanksgiving, I was feeling pretty full. I needed detox for a week. Lord knows some of the stuff I have eaten here is not for [...]
It is always a bit of a Sophie’s Choice at Subway. There you are, subpar sandwich in hand, and you are trying to make that ever critical chip decision. Should you go with Cheetos? Perhaps Doritos or pretzels? Or maybe a good old fashioned potato chip? But, then what kind: sour cream [...]
I have become a human garbage disposal for my friends.
My friend Irish let her husband buy these crackers, but quite reluctantly. She thought they looked gross.
The only reasonable compromise was they had to be handed off to me after he tried them. The lengths I go to for my friendships. Here is what I [...]
Who doesn’t love peanut butter? It is a universal unifier. If you don’t love peanut butter, I don’t really want to be your friend.
When I saw these Bamba Peanut Snacks at Giant, I was intrigued. They looked like peanut butter flavor Cheetos. I had to try them. Here is what I thought:
Smell: It smells like [...]
