The Daily Crave Veggie Chips

Update Review November 2015 A few years ago, I reviewed one kind of veggie sticks made by The Daily Crave.  I didn't remember how much I disliked them, and accidentally tried another one of their products.  I won't make this mistake again :) Veggie Chips. "Say goodbye to greasy chips that are full of artificial flavors and colors.  The Daily Crave Veggie chips contain none of the "bad stuff" but still gives you all the great taste you desire."

Alfajores from Sabores del Sur

Sabores del Sur is local small catering company, specializing in South American treats.  They were born out of the La Cocina incubator program, where I discovered their treats at the La Cocina stand in the Ferry Building.  Now, in addition to catering, they also have a restaurant.  Certainly a La Cocina success story.

Breakfast Sandwich from Panera

I've reviewed Panera a slew of times before, including the lackluster muffins, the mediocre pastries and cookies, the fairly tasty bagels with awesome cream cheese, the decent beverages, before finally finding a really good scone. And you've likely been to Panera yourself, so, I have nothing more to say about Panera as a place.  This review will focus on two things: the order in advance Rapid Pickup system, and my first try at one of their breakfast sandwiches....
