This feature went
away for a while, but now... IT'S BACK! I tryout questionable food
items so that you don’t have to in… Steveats. (Note: Title
developed in about 10 seconds of brainstorming.)
According my notes,
the last Steveats I did was in honor of Valentine's Day and my
birthday, and for that, I had the
Naked Chicken Chalupa from Taco Bell. Obviously, it left such an
impression on me that I did not bring this feature back for 15
months! (The boring, real answer though – Man, life sure does get
busy sometimes, huh??? Plus, when you're living with another human
being as I am now, you manage to eat a lot better.)
With my significant
other gone for a month, well, that has left me with some free time to
really explore the studio space of Steveats. You know... EXPLORE
the studio space. So, without further adieu, I bring you... The
Papa Gino's Buffalo chicken mac and cheese pizza.
I had somewhat high
hopes with this one, because, hey, it's kind of hard to screw up
Buffalo chicken! It is one of the world's most magical and wonderful
substances. You can use it in a wide variety of delicious things,
whether you're having it straight-up or mixed with blue cheese. Or
ranch, if you're a soulless monster.
I was expecting
Buffalo chicken dip, or small chunks of chicken, mixed with some mac
and cheese, on top of a pizza. Instead, what I got was probably
breaded Buffalo chicken sandwich meat, thrown on top of a mac and
cheese pizza. No sauce. Scandal! Outrage! What kind of fool do they
take me for?
Apparently, a fool
they thought would pay $18 for a pizza. Thankfully, I had a coupon,
so the total damage was just $13. Still, this was disappointing. The
mac and cheese was also really bland, which surprised me, since the
Papa Gino's all you can eat pasta is usually serviceable, as is their
pizza.
Anyway... I still
ate the god damn thing over the course of two and a half days. It was
still tasty, but disappointing. Missed potential, like watching a
high draft pick flame out on your favorite team. As of right now, the
plan is to have one Steveats a week, but we'll see how that goes, and
how motivated I'll be to keep eating (mildly disappointing, usually)
junk food.
