In St. Louis, Missouri, there is a chain of cafe-style fast-casual restaurants that serve a variety of upscale soups, salads, sandwiches, and baked goods. The restaurant is called St. Louis Bread Co., but outside of St. Louis they are known by another name: Panera. St. Louis Bread Co. — Panera…
The Hangry Tomato frozen pizzas seem to be a newer product line at Aldi. The packaging for these Special Buy (ALDI Find) pizzas caught my eye from the start, with boxes featuring an illustration of a cartoon tomato character eating a slice of pizza. (The tomato character looks a lot…
