The Ultimate In-N-Out Secret Menu (and Super Secret Menu!) Survival Guide

I have to disagree - In N Out fries are NOT crappy. Maybe I'm biased b/c I was born and raised on In N Out, but their fries are delicious! Light, delicate, perfect with ketchup.

Although I'm on the East Coast now and enjoy the hearty fries from Five Guys, I still prefer In N Out!

Reality Check: Tommy's Double Cheese (and Chili) Burger

Agree with Erin 100%. I thought it was good upon first bite, but I could barely finish the burger. In N Out is WAYYY better by far.

Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds: The True Champion of Breakfast Cereals?

Love love LOOOVE HBofO and I didn't discover this cereal until college! I am currently eating Kashi U cereal (I am trying to eat more "healthy" cereals) but I definitely miss the taste of the crunchy and delightful honey bunches.

I think I'm going to buy a box today.

Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult

I like it when I first start drinking it. And then...the dreaded, dry aftertaste that you write about comes along. I find the after-feeling too unpleasant and so thumbs down for me.

California Eatin': Dutch Crunch in the Bay Area

Wow I had no idea that Dutch Crunch was relatively unknown outside the Bay Area!

Growing up in the East Bay, I ALWAYS picked the Dutch Crunch roll for my sandwiches from Lucca's Deli in Castro Valley. I'm not sure where the bread is from, but it is very good.

The Dutch Crunch should be made more popular around the U.S. With its delightful crust and soft insides, this bread deserves to be more mainstream! =D

You have GOT to try Bi-Rite Creamery's ice cream. They have some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Salted caramel anyone?

Also, Acme bread is awesome, and Cheeseboard pizza from Berkeley!

Large Movie Popcorn with Butter: 1,220 Calories

Australian-style strawberry licorice from Trader Joe's and other assorted gummy candies.
I love popcorn but there's no way I can bring myself to spend close to $10 on a bucket at the movies when I can make even better (and much less costly) popcorn at home!
