14 Starbucks Bakery Items, Ranked Worst To Best - Foodie

2 weeks ago | foodie.com | Dani Zoeller

There is something special about a Starbucks pastry. Not only does it go perfectly with a quick pick-me-up coffee, but it's an easy way to grab breakfast while ordering that morning cup of Joe. In my experience, Starbucks pastries have changed significantly over the years, and new options frequently arise with seasonal menus. If you venture into a Starbucks while traveling, you may even discover international Starbucks menus full of items we simply must have in the United States.
I Tried Parmesan Crust On Many LongHorn Steakhouse Menu Items

Are you a regular at LongHorn Steakhouse? If so, then you're probably already aware about something of a secret: You can add Parmesan crust to nearly everything at LongHorn Steakhouse. Over at your local LongHorn location, guests are dining on feasts positively covered in ooey, gooey, savory cheese. Sure, the menu features a few Parmesan Crusted Favorites, but this topping can be enjoyed far beyond those items. If it's on the menu, the crew at LongHorn will gladly smother it in Parmesan crust.
I Tried 3 Costco Kirkland Signature Coffees And Wouldn't Recommend A Single One - Food Republic

2 weeks ago | foodrepublic.com | Dani Zoeller

Over the course of the last year, my family has been on something of a mission: to find and assemble the best coffee bar we can. An essential part of that has been the actual coffee. After our favorite micro roaster closed up shop, we began looking for others. After tasting many, we fell in love with Onyx Coffee. We began a Roaster's Choice coffee subscription, and a different coffee gets shipped to us each month.

4 Best And 5 Worst Costco Desserts To Buy

2 weeks ago | foodie.com | Dani Zoeller

One of my favorite parts of any Costco shopping trip is picking up a dessert. Since opening a Costco membership, I've discovered many of Costco's desserts are worth purchasing over and over, and others I won't be repurchasing (I tried to include non-seasonal items in this, though Costco has many holiday and seasonal treats). Perhaps unsurprisingly, every single item I ended up loving has that almighty Kirkland Signature label on it.
I Tried Olive Garden's New Spicy Three Meat Sauce, And It's A Total Flavor Bomb - Food Republic

3 weeks ago | foodrepublic.com | Dani Zoeller

When I was a kid, there were two restaurants that regularly made it into the rotation on nights when we would go out to eat. To me, they were known as the "Olive Place" and the "Tomato Place." The Tomato Place was Fazoli's, and the Olive Place was the Olive Garden. No doubt, you're noticing a theme. I've always been a fan of saucy pasta, and I also remember that both restaurants' responsibility was to satisfy that deep seeded love for a garlicky breadstick.

5 Best And 6 Worst Store-Bought Orange Juices - Foodie

3 weeks ago | foodie.com | Dani Zoeller

Brand commitment is strong in my house. Soda, hot sauce, and even orange juices have a defined brand we purchase. But how were these brand decisions made? It wasn't through testing each option and choosing the best one. Instead, I find brand loyalties are passed down. I'll admit I've never given much thought to our chosen brand of orange juice and how it compares to others. That is, until now.

5 Best And 5 Worst Chain Chocolate Chip Cookies - Foodie

3 weeks ago | foodie.com | Dani Zoeller

Chocolate chip cookies feel like home. Which is probably why many fast food chains create their own versions to cash in on this nostalgia-rich dessert. While there are some solid options out there ... in my tasting, I found nearly none of them could get close to the taste of a fresh-from-the-oven, made-with-love, passed-down recipe of a true favorite chocolate chip cookie.
