Review of Sugar Factory Rosemont

***Each category is out of 1 and is rounded to the nearest .1***

Cleanliness: 1 - The place looked pretty clean. Most of the tables were bussed. The place where my friend and me sat (at the bar top) was clean (thank the lord, I’ve been eating at so many dirty tables lately…)

Service: 1 - Jaz, the bartender, rocked! She was prompt and our drinks didn’t take forever!

Ambience: 1 - I liked the music and I can still talk to my friend without totally screaming.

Taste of Food/Drink: 1 - We split a fishbowl drink and I then had a martini. The drink looked appealing to the eye and tasted like a perfect balance of sweet and strong. The candy added a nice touch as well. The cotton candy went first! The martini was also pretty appealing and it tasted delicious. I was pretty full at that point, but I was still able to happily down it and enjoy it. The drink size was appropriate and the quality/aesthetic was pretty high.

Was it worth my money?: .5 - It’s a little pricey, but it is Rosemont (upscale Chicago suburb)… It was worth it and all, but I wouldn’t want to go there too frequently because I would drop way too much money because everything is so tasty! I’m sure it’s expensive because of all the bells and whistles for the drinks too, but it isn’t too too bad.

Overall: 4.5/5

Review of Walden Farms Caesar Salad Dressing

Fat free Caesar dressing.... hmmmmm. At a first glance, you think something like this is too good to be true... because it is. Over the course of time and many words with the wise people who enter my life, I heard that fat or calorie free food has a lot of fake crap in it. When I go to taste the dressing, I feel like I'm eating flavor free paper. I then reflect to myself, "what the hell did I do and why does this taste so bland?" It was only until then I had a flashback of when I was about 8 years old and wanted to have a piece of cheese after a day of swimming at my grandma's place. Unfortunately the only cheese she owned was fat free... and fat free sometimes can mean flavor free... and flavor free means tasting like cardboard. When I noticed the dressing tasted flavorless, I had to doctor it with ingredients I use to make Caesar dressing in order to make it taste good. I am definitely not buying or recommending this brand to anyone because fat free means flavor free! If you want good Caesar dressing that's healthy and full of flavor, just suck it up and eat the calories or find/make dressing with Greek Yogurt. Some fat free products are good, but besides for yogurt, most dairy products that are fat free are generally a miss for me!
