Summermoon Coffee: Austin: South Congress

Oh how I wish I lived in Austin whenever I walk into one of their coffee shops.*  At Summermoon Coffee, you can buy to take home their wood-fired, cold brewed espresso!  I want!
Speaking of espresso, their's was so frothy and flavorful.
Espresso Rating: 9/10



My friend got her cute little sugary coffee drink: the Summermoon Latte with, I think, vanilla, caramel, white chocolate and hazelnut

Despite the fact that I didn't have any Lactaid with me, my friend thought it was good enough for me to try a sip anyway.  Indeed it was tasty, but once you go black, you never go back.

They also sell a lot of worthwhile breakfast foods (like Torchy's tacos) as well as awesome bars 'n' stuff.  Check it out.

Look at my table!


Nice logo and history and whatnot

Arctic Zero: 150 Calorie Pints of Ice Cream

Update: I no longer "diet" or count calories or eat shitty light foods. I highly recommend you quit that shit too. If you can afford it, order some Jeni's Ice cream and have half a cup every night as I now do. You can always get more exercise if you're so worried about calories.
Confession: I made this post in order to drum up traffic to my comedy clip.

Trader Joe's Kale Chips versus Whole Foods' Rhythm Kale Chips

Image
Whole Foods
Because a Whole Foods employee told me this 2 ounce bag of vegan, raw, gluten free Zesty Nacho Organic Paleo-Friendly Kale Chipswas "only" $4.99, I took it to the counter:


It rang up as $7.99, which annoyed me, but I gave in and bought the damn thing.  That's $4 per ounce.  Christ.  This is what I pay to have a paleo diet-approved chip.

They were pretty tasty, though the coating tasted, at best, like a cousin (or maybe a second cousin once removed) of cheese.  But who fucking cares?  All I was after was something low-cal and at least kind of tasty to crunch on mindlessly while watching Mad Men on Netflix Instant. It sort of served its purpose (the calorie count isn't really that great at 320 for the bag with 10g of saturated fat), but I'll never pay this much again for kale chips even if my attempts to make them at home have been a little pathetic.

There is this hazard to be aware of too:
But maybe you're not as much of a slob as I am.

Doughboy Donuts: Boston: South Boston

Espresso Rating: 4/10

I kind of didn't realize that my $5 for $10 of Doughboys Donuts coupon would get me a fuck ton of donuts since they're all still about buck a piece at this old school donut shop. Whoops. I could have taken some of them back to my roommates or something, but, predictably, I instead decided to do my foodie duty and try a bite or two of each of the eight donuts I selected.



It's always a bit weird to be in Southie where white people work behind the counter of a donut shop, blue collar workers take their daily donut and New England brand coffee to go or sit and rest at the tables shared with the deli next door. The young lady who very kindly helped me asked if I wanted my espresso in coffee or anything, probably thinking I didn't understand what just an espresso would be as it's likely that no one has ever ordered just an espresso from her.
