6 Best Things We've Eaten Lately
The best fried chicken patties and more.
Your Shopping List for May 9, 2025!
It's Friday (or "Fri-yay" as your most adorably annoying college roommate once called it), which means it's time for you to add some of our new favorite foods to your shopping list. Have you ever made a really good fried chicken sandwich at home? Like, one that actually conquered the craving you had for the fast food you swore you wouldn't eat this week? Well, you need a good chicken patty and we found some of the best.
Are you getting ready for Memorial Day yet? I know, I know...we're all just trying to make it through the week, but it helps to have things to look forward to and, in my book, a day off of work that you're supposed to spend eating hot dogs and mayonnaise-based salads is a thing to look forward to. If you're heading to the grocery store this weekend, g'head and stock up on the best brats, the best potato salad, and the best hard seltzer as motivation.

What’s on the Menu?
"Sometimes, when you want a substantial chicken sandwich, a patty simply won't do. That's why we love these breaded fillets from Costco. They're fat, juicy, and the chicken tastes clean and high quality. We love these!" - Ariana Losch, Writer |
"If you don't have an Asian grocery store nearby, Lucky Foods Spicy Seoul Kimchi is a really tasty option—and our fave in multiple store bought kimchi taste tests." - Jordan Myrick, Taster |

"We've tasted a lot of vegan cheese—cheddar, gouda, even ricotta—but this brie really blew us away. It's cave aged and even has a funky rind. It's a big upgrade for your next plant-based cheese plate. - Justine Sterling, Editor-In-Chief |
"Good tequila doesn't have to cost a bundle. We found tequila tasty enough for your summertime Margaritas—all for 20 bucks or less." - Justine |
