Agreed and looking forward to it, but before we can eat appropriately you've got a keto cut to finish m8.

I love butterscotch...gotta try those....don't worry Bob, not for a while
Did you ever have the OG Myofusion Vanilla? It was literally just like butterscotch. I miss it.

I checked Stop and Shop today for the pumpkin cereals and nutri grain bars. I did not see any.

I eat 4 meals, not one or two
Not too much leeway for junk when you eat around ~1500 kcals daily.

No need to reiterate previous point/arguments. Each of you has an eating pattern that is amenable to your lives.

Soon enough Bob will be a shredded d*ck kent who will be able to resume normal calories...

...and mkretz please post your food, if you get **** for it, I'll deflect...seriously can't stand to see one more copy pasta from impulsive buy, junk banter, etc...

...if I were interested in their reviews, I'd go to their websites...*smh*

Ok, so I have a backlog of more than 30+ pictures to get through, but we'll begin today. Now these will all be baked goods...why?

Because going out to eat here (for the savory things) is incredibly expensive. To give you an idea, a large sub + drink at Subway is $23 dollars. And since this country doesn't have many immigrants, no good ethnic cuisine translates to much more boring offerings.

Apricot Kuchen:



From one of my first days here, so it's a supermarket version. Average honestly. They make these here with a custard type cream in between the fruit slices and the dough is soft. It's a fairly classic dessert so I might have to give a real bakery version another shot.

Customized 3 meat + 2 cheese Stromboli from Stuff Yer Face in NJ

OK here it comes donuts... Took the train to NYC to hit Doughnut Plant
image.jpeg

Inquiring minds will want to know so from top left:
Coconut creme (legit coconut flavoured creme w/no flakes - 9.5/10)
Boston creme - 8.5/10
Coconut lime (very strong lime flav filling - 8/10)
PB & blackberry jam - 8.5/10
Cinnamon sugar - 7/10
Brooklyn blackout - 8/10
Vanilla bean - 7/10
Pecan praline - 7.5/10
White chocolate - (needs to be done more! - 9.5/10)

Planned to go to Dough but went to dinner first and NYC being crazy on a Sat night soon realized I wasn't going to make it before close - depression set in so no dinner pics. I was at a Malaysian restaurant that was actually very good.

Tried to make up for the miss on Dough, futile attemp at Magnolia Bakery
Snickers cheesecake bar
image.jpeg

Coconut caramel chip bar
image.jpeg

Both were average. Also tried a red velvet cheesecake (no pic) that was really good. Verdict - if you go to Magnolia only get cheesecake lol

Just getting warmed up
Boom.

Btw, what are the chances that one of you basic bishes can get your hands on the new Kroger pumpkin cream cheese spread?

Saw someone raving about it on the tubes.

Here comes the Heat! I found a bakery (M&M bakery) fairly close to my Hotel that was rated a 5 (20+ reviews) so took a shot on it. I walked in and was blown away by the selection. Server was super friendly and answered all my questions, gave me a free pignoli biscotti while I chose too.
Cupcakes are the real deal - the cake part resembles the actual flavour, not just plain choc or vanilla. They all have filling which is the only way I'll mess with cupcakes.

Carrot cake, Samoa, s'mores & cannoli (all fantastic!)
image.jpg


Brownie truffles - a dense & fudgy brownie enrobed in chocolate
image.jpg


Lobster tail with cannoli creme (she gave me the option of reg creme or this)
image.jpg

LLN don't slack on this place bro - I tried to go back on Monday to get their s'mores brownie and more cupcakes but were closed :(

On a sugar rush I headed down to Rutgers to the R U Hungry food truck and grabbed a FAT Filipino - Philly cheesesteak + gyro meat + chicken fingers + mozzarella sticks + Freedom fries
Sorry there is too much freedom fries obscuring the other stuff in the pic...
image.jpg


I still need to upload more pics and will do that later today...

We continue to play catch up on my collection of pics. Vanilla and apricot jelly filled Berliners:



Decent, but will look for better ones: the dough was kind of dry, although the fillings were above average.

Have had better boston cream type filled donuts and sufganiyots in the states.

I'm generally not a huge fan of Hostess, Little Debbie or any similar products, but I'll look for these.

I see that we're reverting back to old habits, so I'll do a double update today to keep the good vibes going.

Black Forest Cake Roll:



Picked it up around the time a fella came out with a similarly flavored protein. Chocolate flakes and cream were nice but the cake part was too dry...and I hate dry cakes. Macros were on point tho...like 900 cals for the whole thing.

Feel your pain on the Berliners - burned too often...
Have spotted a couple of new places that do them "seemigly" better fortunately.

That feel when you don't have a Papa John's anyone near you and never had a bite of their pizza :(
You do not get out often I can tell.. lay off all the broccoli and oatmeal and potatoes bro. Time for you to head to a bakery and get some goodies in your life :)

Let's stay focused...after a hard swing & miss on Dough closing in NYC before I could get there, I found a work around option. A coffee shop near Rutgers gets daily deliveries of 4 flavours (Hibiscus, chocolate, Cafe Au Lait & dulce de leche). They were out of the dulce :(

The 4 are all yeast donuts, but Dough donuts are almost like like a hybrid between your typical yeast & cake donut. Yet they are light and really good! More depressed I missed the NYC shop
:(

Hibiscus - great fruity flavour
image.jpg

Chocolate ganache - nothing overwhelming here but Dough is quality so still great
image.jpg

Cafe Au Lait - the most popular among the four for good reason
image.jpg


Headed to a friends place to grab dinner and they had grabbed a dulce de leche earlier and treated me to half, warmed up - straight $$

no luck. checked 2 krogers last night. will keep checking
Fok. These item finding quests can get annoying...can't remember how many times I checked dif supermarkets for the orange cream Captn Crunch...never found it.

...and I know that if I did, it would disappoint too...

Pumpkin spread salvation should be near tho as I assume TJ will bring out the Pumpkin Pie cookie butter again.

It looks pretty decent for a chain in the Peyton commercials. But he can sell anything lol
Rule 1 for Epic Food Porn Thread ---> Mom and Pop places > Chains
Go find something local.. find a wood brick oven pizza joint, or NY Style pizza.. Guarantee it will destroy papa john's

But real question.. do you even eat out? Have yet to see a contribution from you mayne.
