Are you surprised that I have yet another Umami Burger post for you today? Yes, this is the third one (see posts #1 & #2), but when I was invited to try out the new Throwback Burger, I was super excited! The Throwback celebrates the new streamlined menu that will be found at all Umami […]

Umami Burger (California & More) + Pumpkin Spice Latte Burger!
As you might remember from my last Umami Burger post, this is a small chain that knows how to do burgers (and everything else) right! Last time, I went to the opening of the Irvine location, but after seeing this Umami Burger across from the Anaheim Packing District, I was itching to check this […]
zpizza (throughout U.S.)
So what’s a busy girl to do when there are too few hours in the day for work, an empty fridge, unexpected company coming over, and picky eaters at that? Call for delivery! Luckily, I have a zPizza not too far away that I can call in a pinch while I’m on my way home […]

Fatburger (worldwide)

After a long time in traffic, we were ready to fuel up, and Fatburger was our meal of choice! The Fatburger comes in three different sizes, with a multitude of condiments. Besides “The Works,” you can […]
Seasons 52 (throughout U.S.)
Seasons 52 is a chain of restaurants that I first heard about years ago, with the promise that nothing was over a certain amount of calories. It seemed like a good gimmick, but was the food decent? Surprisingly, yes! It has been consistently good over the years, and when I tasted their newly rolled out […]
Lee’s Sandwiches (Western U.S.)
Today’s post is about a chain that is a bit under the radar, even if you have one in your area. It’s Lee’s Sandwiches, a casual spot that serves both Vietnamese and European-Style sandwiches. Let’s dig in! The outside is the same at each location, and tends to blend in to surrounding shops. The menu […]
