Quiznos Now Offers Toasty Pastas!
All parents are familiar with the dinnertime struggle. Deciding what to eat (and what not to) is one of the first acts of independence a child makes because it’s an area where they hold actual control. But, the dinner table doesn’t have to be a battleground!

- Meatballs Marinara –Featuring Fontanini’s old-fashioned beef and pork-blended meatballs, which are filled with freshly grated Romano and Ricotta cheese and a perfect blend of Italian seasonings. Layered with a double portion of all-natural mozzarella, paired with a new and improved marinara sauce and all served over Cavatappi pasta.
- Chicken Pesto – The Chicken Pesto Pasta features sliced all-white chicken breast, paired with diced balsamic tomatoes, an Italian three-cheese blend topped with Quiznos original Basil Pesto sauce all served over Cavatappi pasta.
My Take on the Pasta As an Italian I grew up on pasta dishes so I was excited to try these new toasty pasta dishes. I decided to try the Chicken Pesto as my first try on these dishes. Just like the other subs I have tried in the past, I was impressed with how freshly made all of the items are and how they take their time to toast the items too. For this order I also tried ordering online (as I had never done this before). The online ordering process was easy, though I did find that not all locations would take the orders online. My order was going to be done about 30 minutes after I ordered so I got in my car and headed over to the location to pick up my pasta. I arrived on time, but my dish was still being made, so I had to wait a short period of time. I made sure I was all taken care of financially and by the time this was done my food was ready! 
I ended up taking my pasta back to my office, and even though that was about 10 minutes away, by the time I got there my food was still a good temperature and I could easily dig in. The pasta itself was delicious, with just the right amount of pesto and chicken. This makes me wonder what the other dishes are like…alas, another day another lunch. 
All-in-all I was impressed and sold on this new lunch item. If you like pasta I would recommend this to all as it is the right size for lunch and the right price too – only 6.99 for my dish! Check it out today at your own local Quiznos!

Now through April 14, Red Lobster is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Lobsterfest with succulent new and classic lobster entrées. This is the one time of year when guests can truly celebrate their love of lobster with a wide variety of dishes they can’t experience anywhere else. Choose from nine available options, including:
About the New Sandwich
A few weeks ago my family and I traveled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a vacation and while there we had some great experiences and shared some very fun times. I was lucky enough to be able to work with the 
About two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago to celebrate our 14th anniversary as many of you have read. We only stayed a few days, but in those few days we did a lot. On our final day, Sunday, we wanted to take it easy and simply enjoy some quiet time together. In looking for options we found out that the 
We ended up walking from our hotel ( which was only about five blocks from where we were staying) and made it to the restaurant just prior to our reserved time. When we arrived there was only one other family there having breakfast so we had the restaurant to ourselves.
The restaurant provides a modern urban feel and you get to relax in very comfortable surroundings while you watch the kitchen do their work ( as it offers an open floor concept). I was impressed to see the wide variety of food on the menu, from traditional items that you would think would be there to items that truly were unique.
For our meal my wife decided to order a more traditional breakfast while I ordered the lobster club ( partly because I love lobster and partly because of the unique nature of the menu item itself). We ended up having to wait a while for our food which was the only downside to the experience, but I will say that this offered my wife and I agreed opportunity to reconnect and talk about many different things which was nice as with kids you don’t always get this opportunity.
When our food did arrive both my wife and I were very pleased with not only how the food was presented, but once we started eating we were very impressed with the mixtures of flavors and the quality of the food that we received. I particularly enjoyed the lobster club. I waitress mentioned that many people order this item. I will make one caution with this sandwich though, and that is that the sandwich is a bit messy so be aware of this and know that you will need your napkin while you are eating.
Overall our brunch experience was very positive and I would return to the restaurant in the future to try some of their other Menu items and I encourage you too as well.
I come from a German family, or at least part of my family is. My grandmother on my father’s side and all of her relatives were German and I was growing up I had the opportunity to grow up with a love of great German food. Living where I do now unfortunately there is not a lot of German influence in the restaurants surrounding the city so needless to say we do not have many opportunities to be able to he had German restaurants very often.
About two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago to celebrate our 14th anniversary and as a part of this trip I wanted to be up to go and experience a restaurant that I had heard about but never tried. The 
In arriving at the restaurant we were greeted kindly and shown to our reserved table. The staff was friendly and it was busy for the night that we were there (as the server said most sites are). I noticed right away that the menu was not as extensive as the one you see walking into the restaurant, but you still have the opportunity to see some great looking items on the menu as well. One thing that I enjoyed seeing is that the menu provided to guests with a coded review of what you could order to have the true Berghoff experience.
Seeing that we were in Chicago for only a few days and that we would only visit this restaurant once, my wife and I wanted to experience the restaurant at its best. We ended up ordering the Alsatian Onion And Apple Soup to share and then each of us ordered Sauerbraten, both of which were listed as specialties.
The Sauerbraten followed and we were both amazed had the amount of food we received and how wonderful it tasted. Again the mix of sweet and sour made to meat taste amazing, and with a mix of vegetables and whipped potatoes that came with it, you definitely left the restaurant filled ( in a good way).
