We’re big fans of what Aldi does for breakfast: the eggs, the French toast, the sausage, the turkey sausage, the pancake-and-sasusage-on-a-stick … all of it. And we are big fans of Aldi’s hash brown patties, which do a great McDonalds impersonation. For this post we are turning our attention to Aldi’s…
Coleslaw is one of my favored restaurant sides, but I’m also a bit picky. Some restaurant coleslaw is really good, while other versions are downright awful; more than once I’ve been burned by an otherwise-good restaurant that decided it didn’t need to pay the same attention to its side items…
