Because It Just Tastes Better

This blog is simply about better quality and better tasting food. It's not about discovering gourmet and eccentric dishes. It's not about measuring and monitoring portions to control and manage weight gain. It's not about promoting some diet or routine that happened to work for me. It's about finding and sharing better quality ingredients to make better tasting food.

Hell. I love hamburgers. I love nachos. I love chicken fingers, but there's something about offering these items for under $1.00 that's simply offensive. It offends my sense of justice and taste that an $.89 burger or burrito can really exist. There simply has to be something better out there. And if there is, does it really taste that much better? As Americans we value--well--value. We want as much as possible for as little as possible. However, as with anything, there are trade offs. And that trade off is usually quality. When it comes to food, my values are different. I'll accept less for more without sacrificing quality.

But does quality really equal better taste? Quality is ambiguous. Taste is subjective. I offer this blog simply to catalog and share my discoveries with those who value quality over quantity. Freedom is about choice. My goal is to provide alternatives to what we see advertised on TV and the Internet. Feel free to try them and then decide for yourselves whether the quality and taste is better.
