Ruby Tuesdays

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

“Out with the old and in with the new” should be Ruby Tuesdays new motto! As of 1 hour, 15 minutes and counting, the chain restaurant Ruby Tuesdays is going to completely revamp their style. The entirely new menu featuring USDA meats which are fresh (and never frozen), clean and healthy vegetables, artisan cheeses, and many more appetizing foods are just the tip of the iceberg as to the changes going on. Ruby Tuesdays believes that an initiative must take place, and that restaurants need to set an example in regards to keeping both people, and the earth healthy. In “going green”, Ruby Tuesdays is going to use menu materials on paper which consists of 10%-30% customer waste, and use environmentally friendly rinse nozzles which will save over 100,000 gallons of water per year! There have also been modifications to urinals for less water waste, a reduction in overall paper, electricity, and energy consumption. Drastic modifications are happening at Ruby Tuesdays both on the inside and out! Check out the new design for an earth friendly, heart friendly way of eating.

Auntie Anne’s

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

What is more satisfying than a warm, delicious Auntie Anne’s pretzel? The answer is nothing. Since its creation in the late 80’s, Auntie Anne’s has been my number 1 pit stop to satisfy even my worst of hunger strikes. Personally, I am a sucker for the garlic and jalapeño pretzel (after all, I need to keep those NY vampires away) and if i am in a crazy mood i might even go for a Glazin raisin. I am not even at all sure if it is possible to walk by a store and not be taken by the smell of fresh dough, butter, and whatever other ingredients (most likely donated by wizards) are used to put me in a trance. Now you may be thinking, “hey what does this guy know of pretzels anyway?”. To answer all the critics, my credentials include being a Philly native (where cheesesteaks, pizza, and PRETZELS are law), and moving to New York where it seems all foods go to get fashionably gourmet. The fact is, I have had a very lengthy stay in the pretzel community and yet when it comes down to it, Auntie Anne’s is one of the best. At this point I have to be a slob about it and eat 2 or more at a time…… Anyone want to challenge me to a Auntie Anne’s eating contest?

Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon

Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon

Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon by SeaBear

As a person who is a true fan of a nice meat steak, I still have the appreciation for a delicious Salmon fillet. Now some of you out there might be true blue meat lovers, and I commend you. But it is time to stop beefing beef up, and realize that a Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon can pack as much flavor and be just as filling, as your run of the mill strip steak. I am not even going to touch the fact that the SeaBear Smoked Salmon has less fat then beef, because no one wants to admit to that! And, I am also not going to bring up that the Wild Sockeye Salmon is easier to digest and will be lighter in your belly too. Nope, I wont say anything like that either. What I will say about SeaBear Smoked Salmon is that it is caught fresh from the Alaskan waters, and delivered absolutely fresh to your door. Every order you make, be it a 6 oz. or over 1 full pound of Sockeye, will be precooked in its own juices and various spices for a very rich flavored fish. Then, every fillet is packaged in the signature SeaBear gold seal pouch, which means no refrigeration required until it is opened! Now all these things sounds really great but as an added little bonus, the Seabear Smoked Salmon is also stamped 100% kosher, making it a perfect meal for anyone practicing specific dietary laws.
