By Mike Thayer Burgers, chicken nuggets, pizza, tacos…… What are you supposed to eat when none of the above sounds good? A crispy fish sandwich of course! But which fast food joint makes the best fish sandwich?  In the name of ‘food science’ (a’hem, cough), I’ll be sampling fish sandwiches from all the national fast […]

These things are tasty! Great with a dip. By Mike Thayer Sweet Potato Chips, something I would not have considered eating a couple years ago, stuck in my “preferred” routine of classic potato chips with the only variations being sour cream & onion flavored, cheddar cheese or changing things up in texture, with wavy chips. […]

By Mike Thayer A lot of burger joints in the Wichita Metro claim to have the best burger around, but who really does?  For all the nuances involved in the crafting of not just a good, but a great burger, the bite that really matters is all about the beef!  After sampling the burgers from […]

Quarter Pound Patties BachelorontheCheap.com I have fond memories of my mom making salmon patties when I was a kid.  Made from scratch using canned salmon, the convenience of frozen salmon ‘burgers’ at the grocery store wasn’t available back in the day.  Mom’s recipe is a time-tested winner, but it’s not quick meal friendly, so I’m […]

By Mike Thayer Pork is under-eaten and that’s a grill crime. Sure, ribs are popular, but there are so many other cuts of pork that a lot of folks just don’t consider but should. Ribs are fantastic, but so are pork roasts, chops, blade steaks, loin kabobs and more. They’re all so darn tasty! Becoming […]

Meat Subscription Club By Mike Thayer I love to cook and grill (and bake too thanks to Cindy!), I have a well stocked pantry, I’ve got a freezer full of goodies, which is mostly meat for grilling. One thing I don’t love however, is grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I hate […]

By Mike Thayer Blended and flavored whiskeys are red hot right now, consumer demand for brown spirits continues to rise with American Whiskey in particular seeing some phenomenal sales growth. Regular readers know that I am a fan of flavored whiskey, I’ve always got a bottle of something in my freezer for a chilled shot […]

Sonic’s Chicken Slinger By Mike Thayer There’s been a chicken sandwich war going on in fast food, it started in 2019 and it’s still going on today.   Shots fired!  Chick-fil-A made headlines in 2019 becoming the third largest fast food chain, led with their classic chicken sandwich.  Popeyes reacted by putting a new chicken sandwich […]

By Mike Thayer Don’t buy this…. Don’t pay too much for tortilla chips! If you’re stuck on buying the name brand, stop it.  You’re throwing money away.  Why pay over $3 maybe $4 for a name brand when you can get a discount brand of tortilla chips that are every bit as good for less […]

By Mike Thayer In the battle of brisket sandwiches, it’s Subway vs. Hog Wild Pit BBQ I’m not a fan of either one of these places, each can be dubbed as the “McDonald’s” of their niche offerings.  Subway is the “McDonald’s” of sub sandwiches, very convenient and available, but most everything on the menu is […]

It’s Another Dose of YUM! BachelorontheCheap.com I love one-pot dishes and casseroles.  There’s the perfect marriage of flavors and textures, the easy-peasy prep, and of course, the minimal cleanup! With temps going below zero with wind chill hitting my neck of the woods recently, I broke out one of my favorite cold weather comfort food […]

By Mike Thayer I love popcorn, it’s one of my favorite go-to snacks, but I don’t always want to pop some.  Sometimes you just want the convenience of opening up a bag and digging in.  So today, I’m evaluating Chester’s Popcorn, cheddar flavor. For a bagged popcorn, it’s not bad, but it’s not the cheesiest […]
