I noticed these Limited Edition Hershey Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses at my local Safeway Supermarket. I hesitated …….should I….or shouldn’t I?……..As a Youngster I used to like Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars…..So I was hoping that these Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses might taste similar…….????? Well lets see…..
Eeek! They are flesh colored with little red rashes.
I try it and it is gross. WTFork is this? Not sure if I can finish……..
It just taste very artificial ……Doesn’t taste comparable to anything.
As it’s melting I got a crunchy lump. The crunchy lump is ok….It’s sort of cookie like in taste……
But The kiss is still there and terrible. My tongue is burning from it….YUK!
Now I got a weird aftertaste…..It’s something like hops from beer…ICK…GROSS!
On the bright side I won’t be getting fat from them.
I can not recommend them…..Actually I am surprised that they can pass a taste test from Hershey’s…..
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Limited Edition Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses but I also must note that YOUR FORKING opinion may indeed differ.
So far 2022 has been a better year than most for Metro Phoenix Foods…..Not too many HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL dishes….But there were a few. I very recently wrote about the next two dishes so if you read my blog then you know where these dishes came from. It’s not my intention to make trouble for any business………(even if they deserve it)…. I tell The Forking Truth….so I mention how my meal was once with the name of the business and once is enough……But these stories and most of the photos are Horrible and Frightful. Halloween time is just that perfect time to share these memories.
Overcooked macaroni and dried up cheese that never was good.
Burnt dried out fish with almost brunt oil filled eggplant.
After this are oldies but NOT goodies.
This was from a fine restaurant in the Biltmore area that is still in business. I do note that the chef that they had at the time left several years ago….By the looks of the polenta on the plate it seems like he might have been pissed off about something.
A certain restaurant on the west side served me a dessert with a hard glob of silicon in it that I had to spit out.
This next one might be the worst thing I ever got from a food truck. It made me scream and I had to spit it out.
It was suppose to be a corned beef egg roll from a food truck that specialized in corned beef. It was dry and awful inside but I still remember that the worst part was the egg roll because it tasted rancid.
Someone in metro Phoenix served me this sandwich.
They are still in business….
Sometimes you go to a restaurant that was very good for several visits………. Then when you eat the food you find out that the chef is no longer with them.
This restaurant closed shorty after I got this horrid dish. It was fishy salmon topped with raw tomato paste flanked by a splat of pureed corn and another splat of corn grits.
I went to a BBQ Restaurant in Phoenix that is still in Business. They served me grits that weren’t cooked.
They also served us meat that was under and still had hard fat on it.
I remember we said something about this but nobody said or did a thing.
A restaurant that is still in business in Peoria served my husband this sandwich.
At the time that restaurant recently changed ownership….It was not great but ok before this……………
It looks like a cinnamon bun but it’s not……….My husband was served a burnt roll somewhere.
This is the worst bulgogi I ever tried……It’s like they threw it in a blender and added cream cheese. It’s like throw up on a skillet.
This Thai Restaurant in Peoria thinks that it’s ok to call a dish fish and serve it without the meat.
I never went back.
This was from a Taco Restaurant that went out of business.
Dry flavorless chicken that might have been microwaved to hard and chewy with some pickled onions and a tortilla that fell apart before it arrived.
This place is still in business in Sun City.
The fish is fishy. The vegetables are obviously from frozen and boiled……I don’t know what happened to the mashed potato. I asked the server why it was green….She didn’t know and asked the chef. She said that he said, “Black pepper turns the potatoes green.”
Maybe my worst Metro Phoenix Restaurant foods came from an Asian Restaurant that I enjoyed on my first visit. I enjoyed the live seafood that was reasonably priced…..So I came back for a second visit….(unfortunately).
We started with some shiitake mushrooms with Asian Greens. They look good BUT….
Shiitake with Asian Greens
The sauce is HORRIFYING……Maybe it is suppose to be that way but I can’t stomach a sauce with the consistency of snot……I couldn’t eat this…..Sadly our main dish was worst.
On this visit I didn’t notice the live fish tanks???????? But ordered the rockfish anyway..This was like a fake fish that was impossible to eat….Like solid rubber and tough. I was going to say something to the owner….But my husband said that all was ok so the owner left.
The server didn’t even question on why we didn’t eat the fish and didn’t even ask if we wanted to bring it or the vegetables home……
Then the scary part is that we got a bill for over a hundred dollars for those two plates (We found out they charged $89. for that fish).
These were only a few of the HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL Foods that was served to me in Metro Phoenix AZ.
I came across pineberries at my local Sprouts Store.
I never tried them before so I bought the one and only box of them they had.
It turns out that the pineberries is a cross of red European strawberries and white Spanish strawberries. They were named pineberries because they are suppose to taste like pineapple. Some taste like mild pineapple. Some taste like pineapple mixed with a little strawberry.If you like pineapple and strawberry you might like them.
Did you ever hear of Roveja Wild Pea Polenta? Roveja Wild Pea Polenta is made from small wild peas that grow in various colors of dark brown to reddish and dark green. This pea only grows at high altitudes and has been growing on the Sibillini mountains since ancient times in Italy. Some people use these peas for soup but it is also used for a famous peasant dish with sardines or anchovies with garlic, olive oil and lemon. I found this special Wild Pea Polenta at the on-line Milk Street Store (www.Store.177MilkStreet.com). They said it was better tasting than any other polenta and was very rare. They said it taste earthy and had this great umami to it. I regularly make polenta so I wanted to try it.
It came to me in this package.
It’s hard to read because most of it is in Italian.
Here’s the back with the cooking instructions.
The cooking directions are the 4 squares at the bottom of the bag that is also hard to read.
I figured out that 1/2 the bag (I think it was almost 200 grams gets a liter of water with a splash of olive oil and a little salt. You cook it for around 35 minutes. Mine got lumpy because I did it like regular polenta that you add in when the water is boiling….I guess? that you add this Roveja Wild Pea polenta to cold water that you bring up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer? I was able to fix the lumps by using a stick blender.
This Wild Pea Polenta sets up faster than concrete……I almost couldn’t get them to set in my muffin pan.
Milk Street suggest letting this polenta sit and slice it cold.
I warmed mine up a little but served it with the recommended anchovies, roasted sweet garlic, olive oil, lemon, and one Calabrian chili. I guess it would be more traditional to cook the anchovies, garlic, oil, and lemon into a sauce but I did it this way.
Roveja Wild Pea Polenta with Anchovy, Sweet Roasted Garlic, E.V.O.O. Calabrian Chili, Lemon
It’s good and different…….I get a mushroomy kind of taste and an almost beef burger kind of taste from it with maybe a very light bitterness. I think the most magnificent vegan burger or meat(less) balls could be made with this Rovega Wild Pea Polenta.
Next time I’ll do something different with Rovega Wild Pea Polenta.
This was a WTFork is That? – Rovega Wild Pea Polenta.
The Forking Truth is that not everything is amazing. Restaurants don’t always serve great food. Here is a collection of some of the obvious bad dishes I had served to me in metro Phoenix Arizona. I already reported these offenders once so I did my job. Once is enough. If you regularly read my blog then you will know where these monstrosities came from.
The above photo is a little fishy.
Here’s a close up.
This is suppose to be polenta. But it is oddly stiff……
I don’t know if it’s happy to see me or if the chef was just pissed off…???
This next one looks like a cinnamon or chocolate pastry…..But it is not.
It’s a burnt roll.
Also got a burnt pizza crust somewhere. Maybe the cook was sauced?
Don’t you hate when foreign objects are in your food?
Dessert isn’t always a sweet ending.
They gave us a dessert that is hard as a rock. We said something to (I think the owner) and he said that nothing was wrong with his dessert. He said they soften up when you heat them up…..WTFork was I suppose to do? Heat it up with my butt!
This next one was even more horrible than it looks.
The fish was fishy tasting (I couldn’t eat it) and was topped with raw sour tomato paste (like fresh from a can mixed with lemon juice and was just plopped on the fishy fish. It was surrounded by starchy tasting corn splats of different disgusting textures. I didn’t know at the time but latter found out that the chef left. I guess they let their dishwasher take a swing at cooking. I told my waiter about it but nothing was done…Then they went out of business.
Bad food can come from a food truck.
This was suppose to be some sort of corned beef stuffed roll. You can see it is greasy but THANK GOD you can’t taste it ….It tasted like it was cooked in rancid oil…..
This next one was a restaurant week dinner.
This dinner looks like it threw up on it’s self.
This sandwich was very unappetizing in appearance.
It looks like it was dragged threw a lake. (or maybe a mop bucket?)
Even pizza can bum you out. it’s so disappointing when you get a slice of pizza with zero topping.
BAH!
Had the worst taco in the whole world.
Even the tortilla was decomposing on it’s way to me. It was stuffed with DRY as can be flavorless chicken.
I also had the misfortune to try out the WORST Mediterranean food that I ever had anywhere.
Well the rice and tomato was good. But everything else was horrible but photographed well. Falafels had uncooked hard as rock chickpeas in them. The chicken shawarma tasted like chicken baloney. The pickle they gave me was old and decaying. I think it also came with a Sr. Citizen card.
I went to a new (at the time) BBQ place. The meats they served us were undercooked with hard fat. THE GRITS YOU CAN SEE WERE UNCOOKED that they served us.
We told someone about the grits. Nobody said that they were sorry. Nobody said that they’d take them off our bill. Nobody said that they’d get us something else.
It’s always horrible when they serve you…….”The I already ate plate” (no that wasn’t an appetizer…It was suppose to be my $16.00 Lunch.
Here’s another “I already ate plate”
This isn’t enough food for a gerbil. BAH!
Sometimes some restaurants are just bad.
I got this salad somewhere. They used processed chicken fingers that weren’t cooked correctly. It seemed they they cooked them in the microwave until they BLEW OUT the centers of the chicken and the outside of the chicken got incredibly hard. Then they chilled them and added them to my salad.
My husband got something similar but different here.
He said that his chicken fingers were a little better but the cheese with a combination of hard and melted at the same time.
This next one is also just bad.
I got questionable trout, from frozen boiled vegetables and GREEN mashed potatoes. I did ask my waitress why the mashed potatoes were green. She ran and asked the chef. She said the chef told her that mashed potatoes turn green when you add black pepper.
I think the worst meal I had came from a Chinese Restaurant that I enjoyed before. I ordered the fresh fish because it was very good last time.
I have no idea what the FORK they served us. This fish was like it was made of rubber. I think it was dead and embalmed. It was next to impossible to pull the meat off of it. WOW! was my husband mad at me for recommending this place. He was so mad that when the owner asked us how things were he said ok just so the guy would leave. Then when we got the bill he was really SORRY that he didn’t say anything because they charged us over $80.00 for this fish we couldn’t eat.
All this crap was NOT Worth a Fork!
That was a collection of not all but some of horrible frightful foods served to me in metro Phoenix AZ.
This was the Halloween Edition of The Forking Truth.
I’ve subscribed to a subscription of Universal Yums at www.UniversialYums.com .They send you a box of International snacks. You can subscribe or gift in a number of ways. You also have to choose from three different sizes of snack boxes. The basic Yum Box is 6 snacks, a 12 page booklet with trivia, games and a recipe and runs around $15. a month. Next is the Yum Yum Box it is all that and they say more……and comes with 12 snacks and runs around $25. a month. The largest box is called The Super Yum Box. It is similar to the Yum Yum Box but comes with 20 snacks and runs around $40. a month.
I signed up for just the basic Yum Box (around $15.) that comes with 6 international snacks plus extra. My first box came with all kinds of treats from Columbia. I forgot to take a picture of just opening the box. This is my box after a few days of snacking.
It comes with a booklet with some facts about Columbia.
It also came with a recipe for arepas.
Some fun trivia.
Here are all the snacks.
Mayonnaise flavored potato chips, coconut wafer bar, lemon bacon chips, white chocolate cookie nuggets, a nougat chocolate bar and some sort of confection that is a mash-up of marshmallow and gummy in the shape of penguins.
They also included a surprise bag of a couple other things.
Coffee taffy and a passionfruit bubblegum pop. The coffee taffy tasted just like coffee. Had the texture of taffy but got softer. The passionfruit pop tasted like passionfruit but mixed with talcum powder. I didn’t take it to the bubblegum center.
We tried something that looked sort of familiar…..
Cookies and Cream White Chocolate Nuggets.
They taste like smashed up Oreos with extra frosting that is waxy. If you like Oreo cookies then you will like them.
Then we opened up this one.
It’s a chocolate bar filled with marshmallowy choco-nougat. Outer coating was a little waxy but did have a cocoa taste to it. Marshmallowy nougat isn’t my jam so we go to the next one.
Lemon Bacon chips (oy vey)
They don’t actually have bacon in them.
Pelllet (cooked) style fake bacon
They don’t taste like bacon but they are so artificially sour that they are painful to eat.
This next one looks cute.
They smell like Juicy Fruit Gum.
They are penguin shaped and are like a cross between a marshmallow and a gummy. I guess they are a fluffy gummy penguin.
These aren’t bad. They taste like coconut wafers. These are ok.
Artificially flavored mayonnaise potato chips……(why?)…They smell like normal potato chips……they are powdery and have an odd sour finish…….Or maybe it’s a chemical finish?
There is a YUM scorecard to fill out.
While I didn’t particularly enjoy any of the snacks from Columbia I still enjoyed the adventure. That was my first box of Universal Yums.
I wonder WTFork Universal Yums will send me next time?
www.UniversalYums.com
I do note that your experience may indeed differ from my experience.
Chocolate comes in more flavors now. There is milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate (white chocolate is controversial and some people would say to not include it) and there is ruby chocolate.
My first experience trying the ruby chocolate flavor was from That’s Amore Gelato shop in North Scottsdale AZ.
Ruby is on the right half
To me it taste like a berry. I would say maybe raspberry or mixed berry with raspberry.
The very next week I found the NEW LIMITED EDITION Ruby Cacao coated Haagen Dazs ice cream bars so I bought them to try. I have a bar next to my 7in knife.
We usually share a dessert so I’m cutting it in half.
The flavor in the candy coating is more intense than from the gelato. it’s more sweet and tangy……Here I get maybe more of a raspberry taste but it finishes with a sort of milk chocolate taste that I didn’t get with the gelato. I can’t wait to see ruby chocolate bars and higher end ruby chocolates coming out soon. I bet they will be even more intense with different flavors. If I see them I will try them and let you know how they are.
Those were My Forking Thoughts on the Ruby Chocolate that I’ve tasted so far.
This is a small collection of the Forking Weirdest Produce I found out there. I do warn you that some people might find some of the images disturbing.
Up above is an ear of corn I purchased from Sprouts Farmers Market Grocery Store. My corn came from Sprouts…….I think my corn is Sprouting something extra…..
Here’s an unusual gourd I found at Sprouts Grocery. It has unusual ridges but still looks like a duck.
Found a Forking Weird carrot in my bag of carrots.
I guess it’s a male carrot?
This next one is weird too.
It’s a cherry………I think I’ll name it Dolly.
These next ones are FORKING WEIRD TOO and look like female radishes.
Dirty radishes.
Those were some of the weird produce that is out there.
Bomba is an Italian Calabrian Hot Chili Condiment. It’s a bomb of flavor and heat that adds dimension, flavor and heat to food. A little goes a long way. You might want to use it on bread, pasta, sandwiches, sauces, soups, pizza, eggs, fish or vegetable salads. Sometimes I add some bomba to tomato sauce and to meatballs. There are many different brands of bomba. Most grocery stores don’t carry bomba so usually I buy it on the internet. I haven’t tried them all yet but here are three that I’ve tried.
Each one is a product of Italy. Each one has a different texture and a different taste but they all have heat.
The peppers have a little funk from Trader Joe’s. I thought I tasted garlic but there is no garlic in the Trader Joe’s…..I guess I was craving garlic with this one.
Italian Harvest is almost just hot oil with crushed chili in it. This one has a nice clean bright almost fresh tasting hot chili taste.
I do note that I usually buy Coluccio Brand and it differs each and every time I buy it…Sometimes it’s extra hot and sometimes it is almost mild.
Today the Coluccio brand taste like it’s made with very good olive oil. It’s chunky with lots of olive tasting vegetables and some spices. It seems mild and tasty at first and then it builds in heat that lingers.
I like all the Bomba here. Each one had something different to it.
I tried Trader Joe’s
Italian Harvest
Coluccio
It’s better to have any jar of Bomba than to not have a jar of Bomba.
Here is a collection of the most frightful and horrific foods served to me in Metro Phoenix Arizona. Some but NOT ALL of these restaurants are normally good but things do happen …..and many will have a bad day…..It is very unfortunate for me because I won’t go back when I have a poor experience somewhere. It’s not my intention to damage a restaurants’ reputation. I will mention the name of the restaurant if they are no longer in business. After all I already mentioned who they were at the time I dined there. And That’s The Forking Truth!
The worst taco in the whole world came from Taco Haus in Scottsdale. Dry flavorless chicken in a tortilla that decomposed on the way to the table. Rest in peace Taco Haus.
The 2nd worst taco in the whole world was served to me at the 2019 AZ Taco Festival. This one wasn’t just salty or over salted. It FORKING taste like it was HALF SALT. Some poor boob at the festival must have accidentally dropped a whole container of salt into the taco. mix and just mixed it in not giving a dam. Shame.
Fondant from Indi Fusion
Once upon a time there was a restaurant called Indi Fusion. It was an Indian Fusion restaurant. They sure did make some tasty food and they had so much potential. But dessert was another story there. I ordered a fondant ( basically a French lava cake) instead of a fondant I received a Fon-DON’T…….I recieved not a molten cake….not even a cake…but a disk of frosting. I have to say that the chef had some confusion issues.
Soggy falling apart dumplings from a particular Asian Restaurant in Phoenix.
Bad food usually does come from chains…….
I’ve never been to a Long John Silvers before and never will go again. I enjoy fish and many decades back Arthur Treachers used to serve really delicious quality Icelandic Cod. Incase you don’t know the chain has been sold a long time back and lowered the quality of the food so it might suck now. . Anyways I was hoping that Long John Silver would serve something similar to what Arthur Treachers used to serve. WOW was this sickly BAD!!!!!! It was so greasy and muddy tasting with that OLD USED OIL TASTE. I couldn’t eat it….Now I feel bad because I offered this fish to my dear departed dog Louie and Louie took it and he FORKING SPIT IT OUT! It was so bad LOUIE SPIT IT OUT! But then my younger dog gobbled up what poor old Louie spit out.
Now I really feel bad for these people that opened a meatball theme restaurant called Meatballz in Scottsdale. They didn’t have basic cooking skills to prepare meatballs or a basic tomato sauce. I have no idea on why they went into this business. I highly doubt that anyone ever said to them your food is so good that you should open a restaurant.
Crunchy Carrots in Vegan Balls and Sauces
Mushy vegan meatballs with crunchy carrots in a raw acidic slightly bitter sauce sandwich. The sauce was so bitter and also had crunchy uncooked carrots in it. My husband tried a meat meatball and it was also awful.
This one was from a restaurant in Phoenix.
Dinner that looks like it threw up on it’s self ……….from a well known restaurant on Camelback Road.
All the food was really bad from this Mediterranean restaurant in Glendale but most things photographed well.
The pickled they gave me could own a senior citizens card……before it passed away. Their falafels were served with hard uncooked chick peas that was hard like rocks and could break teeth……The gyro was like fried baloney….but the rice, onion and tomato was good.
I went to what one of the “official” top ten Italian Restaurants of Metro Phoenix. The Forking Truth is that I did enjoy a few lunches there but then went back for dinner.
For $34.00 I got over cooked Bronzino and vegetables that appear to be reheated too many times and maybe were a couple of weeks old. They don’t don’t check on you here…this might be why.
Now Little Cleo’s in Phoenix was a good seafood restaurant……But
I was horrified at this tiny dinner plate……Don’t you think it was tiny too? I guess I accidentally ordered “the I already ate plate.”
Here’s another “I already ate plate.”
This one was also from a very nice restaurant that had an ultra talented chef…..but.
Seared Tuna Nicoise ($16.) from The Local, PHX AZ
Wouldn’t you be horrified if you received this tiny lunch for $16.00? This isn’t even enough for a midget on weight watchers….and WTFork did they do with that other half of egg anyway?
……Is my dinner excited to see me?…….Or is the chef just pissed off?
I got this polenta tower from a well known restaurant in Phoenix. I do note the chef has changed at least twice at this restaurant since I had this dinner. You won’t get this anymore there……(but he may be working someplace else now?)
We ate a nice meal at a Filipino restaurant. The FOOD really was good there but the desserts were hard like rocks. I couldn’t break them open but my husband used all his might and busted them open.
We did confront the owner and he said that nothing was wrong with the desserts and they just needed to be heated up. (excuse me…….. I didn’t know that I was suppose to bring my own Forking heat source with me to try these desserts) Well The Forking Truth is that these desserts were served to us HARD AS ROCKS….(he also said he’d take them off the bill…..but nobody took them off the bill..we just paid and left)
Some people don’t enjoy dessert….Now I know why.
I was served this dessert somewhere WAY out in the far west valley. the dessert wasn’t so good……in taste and in texture. When I pulled this thing out of my mouth from the dessert I thought it was a piece of silicone glue.
But the waiter here told me it just was a piece of the dessert…???????? I thought it was GLUE…The waiter said it was part of the dessert!
This is my finished plate of food from a certain Mediterranean Restaurant somewhere in Phoenix. This restaurant at the time had a FIVE STAR Average on a certain review site so I thought the food would be good. The food might look good but my chicken was so dry and hard that it was impossible to remove it from the wooden sticks. That little bite on the one piece of chicken was all I could break off. The pitas were also hard and seemed like processed food. Even the rice was horrible and was some kind of pre-cooked rice.
Nobody enjoys a falafel that lacks herbs and is crumbly dry.
I have read many reviews that this small Mediterranean Restaurant serves the best falafels in the valley……I don’t know what they had but these falafels I tried sucked. They are dry as the Sahara Desert and lacked fresh herbs. This is not a good falafel.
Even nice resorts serve mediocre food.
This salmon salad was from a fine resort in Scottsdale. This salad made me very unhappy. The salmon seemed like it was salvaged from a buffet past. It was pre-made, almost cold and also over cooked. There was albumin formation on the fish…it’s like egg whites being cooked out of the flesh.
The salad was also missing some ingredients that I was looking forward to enjoying like fiddlehead ferns, sunflower seeds and flavor.
The Forking Truth is that once in a while the finest restaurants might screw up.
Over Cooked and Over Salted Phoenix AZ
This fish tells a different tail. Over cooked and over salted fish from one of the finest restaurants in Phoenix………All the other plates here were excellent…..They just screwed up on the fish. I told the waiter and he claimed he’d tell the chef………….who knows?
Here is a sad fish story of a small business located in Glendale. I think what happened here was a combination of poor cooking skills and restaurant equipment failing.
My fish was crispy in a weird way. I never was served freezer burnt fish before…..The sweet potatoes seemed to have been aged and the Mac’n’ Cheese was mushy watered down velvetta sort of concoction. The tarter sauce wasn’t even edible here and had the consistency of creamer. My husband’s plate was even worst. His fish was even more freezer burnt and he warned me not to even think about trying his sides….Red/beans and rice were spoiled and he couldn’t describe what was wrong with the hushpuppies…..after a brief tasting we tossed out all the food and ate someplace else.
I waited 45 minutes for this.
Tried a deep dish pizza in Peoria. The crust was very hard and tasted burnt and all this cheese made me feel sick. Crust is mostly black.
Bad food can come from a food truck.
Close up of Corned Beef Wild Buckeye Roll
This was from a food truck. It was a greasy mess and tasted like the grease it was fried with decomposing possums, dead donkeys and other critters or whatever.
This next one might not be the restaurants fault?………….you can purchase unusually super tough chicken. (it’s usually that ultra cheap chicken)
The slaw was really good. The fresh made bread was tasty but the chicken was inedible. It was like it was full of steal belted silver skin…….You couldn’t eat it. This was from a Bosnian Restaurant somewhere in Phoenix.
“READY OR NOT HERE IT COMES! …………. sucker”
Some restaurants put out food ready or not!
Raw grits from a bbq restaurant in Phoenix. Here we brought this to someones attention and instead of saying I’ll take that off your bill or I’ll get you a new one she just walked away. Also from the same BBQ……
For what it’s worth….The brisket might have been outstanding if it was cooked several hours more but they served it before it’s time with hard fat and tough beef. We had other problems but these were the major issues.
This restaurant thinks that the customer will eat anything.
$13.99 Salad from a Mexican Restaurant in Phoenix AZ
The most uninspired salad in metro Phoenix……with horrible salsa too!
Sometimes there is a reason why some restaurants go out of business.
Sonata’s Restaurant used to be located in Scottsdale. My first few visits were so delicious….I was flabbergasted at what they served me on my last visit not so long before they closed. Old fishy tasting salmon that was topped with sour uncooked tomato paste surrounded by horrid splats of floury corn two horrible ways. Down before are gooey gross pierogis. I latter heard that they were between chefs.
Sometimes restaurants don’t hire qualified help and then they go down the tubes. I did tell them how it was when I dined there and the waiter said he’d tell the management. They did nothing. I also wrote about my experience here and on a review site. The management told me that my first two experiences were great so I should just be happy with that.
Tough steak with a side of pond slime for some place in Carefree. (this really grossed me out…I couldn’t even bring the meat home for my dogs…and couldn’t eat beef again for a few months)
I went to this particular restaurant in Peoria and a while back it was OK….I heard that the ownership changed and I was hoped that it got better……sadly it got worst. This food was far worst that what you’d get from the lowest end fast food place! It was like MICROWAVED BY A MORON!
This is my salad. It was made with what tasted like pre-made frozen chicken fingers that had the strangest texture. They were hard, hollow and cold. It seemed like they blew them up in a microwave oven and then chilled them.
My husband also had an awful sandwich here.
His sandwich was made with similar chicken fingers that were covered in cheese that was hard but also melted at the same time.
This one isn’t the worst and almost didn’t make this list….but it isn’t great either.
There is this sandwich shop in Glendale and the fillings for their sandwiches aren’t bad but they use the FORKING WORST ROLLS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I have no idea why someone would open a sandwich shop and use the lousiest bread they could buy.
Sometimes some restaurants serve you half good and half bad food.
I went to an Asian Chicken restaurant in Mesa. The chicken on the left side of the plate was moist and edible. The chicken on the right side was similar to jerky but very dry and stringy.
I had delicious fish at this restaurant in Glendale before so I thought I would get delicious fish again….I was wrong.
I have no idea what went wrong here…..The fish came out like it was made of rubber. You couldn’t eat it. We didn’t complain because we were just so upset that we just wanted to leave. Then they charged me $89.10 for this fish. This has to be one of the worst experiences I ever had anywhere.
Disappointing food can come from a pizza shop.
Who wants a pizza without toppings? I got an individual pizza from a certain place in Peoria. They were very scant with the toppings and one slice was pretty much topping free.
Some people are not fit to be in the restaurant business.
It’s impossible to forget this plate I got somewhere in Sun City. (notice the funeral service card by the lower right side of the plate….strategically placed……) It’s made of boiled frozen vegetables, old green potatoes and old trout. here’s a closer look at the vegetables.
Sun City AZ
and the potatoes. Try some…I dare you!
Sun City AZ
Honest to GOD I asked why the potatoes were green….The waitress said I have to ask the chef……The answer I got was that black pepper always makes potatoes turn green. I was so offended by what I served I seriously thought about calling the police because I thought this was a crime.
Well that was the Halloween Special Edition – A Collection of the most Frightful Horrific Foods served to me in Metro Phoenix AZ.
