After a long hiatus, my front seat food review series is back! This time I feature some of the Waco area’s finest gas station Czech cuisine. If you’re ever in the area you should absolutely stop at one or both of these fine establishments. Such a treat.
After taking some time off to contemplate the overwhelming success of my Burger King poop tweet*, we now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
In truth October is always a busy month for us and I don’t have much spare time for blogging. This past Halloween was without a doubt the best yet, but I’ll save that retrospective for another day. For today we find ourselves at the end of November, as grand a month as any. November is when fall really kicks in North Texas, and although it wasn’t much compared to the gorgeous fall of 2013, we still managed to get some decent color in a few spots. November to me means the start of prime geocaching season, the arrival of a certain coffee chain’s special Thanksgiving blend, (something I genuinely anticipate all year), and most of all our sumptuous Thanksgiving feast, lovingly prepared by my very talented wife. Thanksgiving is a fine holiday, too often neglected these days.
It is a real American holiday, in the truest and best sense.
I hadn’t intended at the start of my little vacation to do a Thanksgiving special. That was TheVCubeSolver’s idea. But I thought it was a good one. And next year we may do a Christmas Special — who knows? I hope you like it. It’s got some outdoors, some indoors, some geocaching, some product reviews, and a very special guest cooking segment by my brother Randy as he cooks up a mess of deer balls.
Enjoy.
And Happy Thanksgiving!

Celebrating our third anniversary of Buddy Team reviews, TheVCubeSolver and I team up to tackle the legendary Sprechers Root Beer. It’s good stuff!
Straight off a Dollar Store shelf at the lovely Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, Texas, and stocked just a few bins over from the storied Orchard Skittles, comes Kranky Candy, the coffee dusted confection you will soon come to know and love. Is it an afternoon snack? A breakfast substitute? Repurposed industrial by-product? You decide.
Joining me in his first proper appearance* on Tobyblog is my good friend Brian Hammons of ReviewTheWorld.com.
Together we sample.
We discover.
And we bring our findings to the world. Enjoy.

I love Halloween. You do, too. This video is a tribute to that season, to every memory and every thrill. To cold autumn nights. To the warm glow of jack o’ lanterns. To spooky stories and cozy evenings. To every bit of magic and adventure in our lives.
This is the story of Halloween 2013 as we experienced it; what has gone down in our lives and memories as THE BEST HALLOWEEN EVER. See TheVCubeSolver and I review some spooky sparkly sodas. Thrills! Listen to me ramble on about my pumpkin carving kit. Ooh! Chills! Take a peek at the dark miracle that is the Little Elm Halloween Festival. Bigger and better than ever this year!
