Gimme A Holler!

This morning, foureyedfrog and I were checking out the local supermarket for snacks, and lo and behold, my new favorite knock-off brand. Normally, the names they come up with are pretty lame, but MOUNTAIN HOLLER has some flair. It could’ve only been better had they called it MOUNTAIN HOLLA!

Sadly, the Bubba Cola we bought is probably the worst drink on the face of the planet. Either that, or it was past the expiration date. Which the bottle didn’t have. Here’s to not getting sick later!

Texas Sundae Massacre

From the bowels of the internet and the produce aisle of an unnamed Austin, TX supermarket  comes the Texas Sundae Massacre.

WITNESS the untamed horror of a banana who brutally tears into ice cream with the power of 1,000 camera flashes!

FEAR the banana with a mask made out of… banana… peels.

BEHOLD the dinner table of horrors!

OH THE HUMANITY!

Used Alto-Shaam Maintenance Rundown

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment has several used Alto-Shaam cook and hold ovens available. Alto-Shaam is a very reliable brand and are often referred to as “lifetime” pieces – meaning with proper maintenance and care, an Alto-Shaam could last you a lifetime. Lucky for you, Alto-Shaam years aren’t like dog years, so one Alto-Shaam year is one year in human time as well. Lucky us! To ensure your used Alto-Shaam has the longest service life possible, here are some maintenance tips.

The sturdy construction of Alto-Shaams and generally low-tech nature of Alto-Shaams allows them to last upwards of 20 or 30 years. Many foodservice operators will run Alto-Shaams 24 hours a day, seven days a week, only turning off the Alto-Shaam to clean them. To maintain Alto-Shaams, periodically clean them off to clean them out following Alto-Shaams’ suggested procedures and use of chemicals. When the heater cable stops working the Alto-Shaam will need to be replaced.

If you are in the market for a used Alto-Shaam, then you best come into One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and check out our most impressive selection of used Alto-Shaams. All used Alto-Shaams get cleaned, refurbished, and tested by the staff of in-house technicians at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment offers financing towards used Alto-Shaams and the entire stock of used commercial restaurant equipment. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is definitely worth the drive! People drive in from all over the east coast to shop for Alto-Shaams at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

Hobart Brand Mentioned in a Strange New Sci-Fi Novel

Hello there, tadpoles. Four Eyed Frog here. I started reading a book this week (yes, I read, a lot) called “Blueprints of the Afterlife,” a novel by Ryan Boudinot. It’s a fantastic work of speculative fiction in which you can download apps for your immune system, the government pays people to stay obese so they can grow organ tissues on their excess flesh, and a full-size replica of Manhattan is under construction in Puget Sound. It’s a very humorous and light-hearted look at a post-war America…and did I mention that one of the main protagonists is a world champion dishwasher?

Pretty cool, right? His name is Woo-Jin, he works as a dishwasher at a Japanese restaurant, and his weapon of choice is a Hobart! Yes, the author actually notes that it’s a Hobart brand dishwasher. While One Fat Frog doesn’t commonly have industrial dishwashers in stock, we do have plenty of used , refurbished Hobart products including mixers and slicers!

If you’re in the market for a used commercial dough mixer or a used slicer, then come into One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment welcomes quick cash deals and package deals on the entire stock of used commercial restaurant equipment. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment can also get you financed for all of the used commercial restaurant equipment you need – including used slicers and used commercial dough mixers.

French Fry Kid Forever

This kid is blowing up on the internet right now for his unabashed, unironic love of french fries. He’s become known as the “Birthday Fry Kid”, but I like to refer to him as my future adopted son. Wave your flag, kid. Wave hard.

Speaking of french fries, Opossum King sent me this photo. Sums it up, yeah.

Chick-fil-A Number One In Limited-Service Satisfaction

The market research firm Sandelman & Associates recently conducted a study that found Chick-fil-A topped the list of limited-service restaurant chains with “excellent” customer satisfaction ratings for 2011. The rules were that the limited-service restaurant had to have at least 500 chains in the United States with 63 percent of customers who had visited in the past three months and rated their service as “excellent.” The survey covered more that 107,400 limited-service restaurant users in 87 United States media markets.

Here’s the top 10- rankings for limited-service restaurant chains with 500 or more units and the percentage rating of “excellent” for the most recent visit:

1. Chick-fil-A
2. Panera Bread
3. Chipolte Mexican Grill
4. Jersey Mike’s Subs
5. Five Guys Burgers and Fries
6. Pap Murphy’s PIzza
7. Zaxby’s
8. Starbucks
9. Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches
10. Whataburger

There were 16 attributes of the dining experience, including “taste and flavor of the food” and “value for the money.” Not only did Chick-fil-A take the top spot, but they also ousted McDonald’s from the no. 1 spot in the kid appeal category. BOOM! OUSTED!
