211th New Thing - Ate at Burger Works


I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Fri 5/18/12).
 
There is a new eatery next to Matt's place of work that is opening soon. They had a soft opening this week and since they are next door, they gave Matt a free sneak peak where he could invite friends to come as well. The place that is opening is Red Robin's Burger Works. It is the 3rd restaurant opening of its kind. Burger Works is a fast-casual concept with a simplified, lower-price, limited-service of burgers, beer, and wine, basically a smaller Red Robin. These burgers are priced at $5.99 and are 1/3 pound, the same as regular-size Red Robin burgers. Burger Works will offer customers a Build Your Own Burger customization option. Free burger add-ons include mayonnaise, chipotle mayo, thousand island dressing, house bourbon BBQ sauce, thai chili ketchup, red’s relish, pickles, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, raw, or grilled onions, beer mustard onions, and Fire-Roasted Salsa. Premium add-ons are Cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, or American cheese (50¢ each); guacamole ($1); apple-smoked bacon ($1); onion straws ($1); sautéed portobello mushrooms ($2); fried egg ($1)' or extra beef patty ($2). I did Build Your Own Burger with Pepper Jack cheese, chipotle mayo, bacon, guacomole, lettuce, and tomato on a Brioche Bun. I also got a side salad and root beer. I think my total would've been about $11 but was free last night. Matt got a Whiskey River BBQ Burger (Signature Bourbon BBQ Sauce, Cheddar cheese, crispy onion straws, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, on a Brioche Bun) with sweet potato fries (with Thai Chili Ketchup) and a Diet Coke. As we were finishing, a waitress also brought a free hand-spun chocolate shake for our table to share. It was a thick and delicious chocolate shake. The place was pretty busy for this special event. The food was good, I was really full as I'm not used to eating that much!

What did you do today?

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?
