Do a chicken bake review we all know it's 5 thumbs but I still want to see the review

Item:  Chicken Bake

Cost:  3.99 (I think)

A golden, crispy, torpedo of pure joy that somehow manages to be both a meal and a culinary adventure. From the outside, it looks like a gigantic Hot Pocket that hit the gym, but once you break through that crispy crust, you’re greeted with a gooey, cheesy, chicken-filled wonderland. The combination of tender chicken, creamy cheese, and bacon bits is like a savory hug for your taste buds. And let's not forget the tangy Caesar dressing swirled inside…

I can say that the picture did not do it justice.  When my number was called “69” Ha, I grabbed the chicken bake and literally was shocked at the weight and mass of the treat.  This was not something that I would eat in one sitting, I knew it and the chicken bake knew it.  Did it take me 3 days to eat it?  Yes.  Did I finally have to throw it out?  I did.  Does that stop me from giving it the amount of thumbs up that it deserves?  No way.  

Amount of thumbs:  5 thumbs up

 
-10 year Costco veteran here. 
The good: 

Batteries 

most cleaning supplies 

bottled water 

frozen broccoli 

frozen orange chicken 

Frozen bare chicken tenders 

and a great quick go to meal- scalloped potatoes mixed with their smoked pulled pork. In the fridge section. 

the free nitrogen air that is outside the tire area. Not sure why it’s better than regular air, but they say it is. 
and the gas(as mentioned) 

I find the fresh stuff doesn’t last very long. I bought a box of oranges ones and they all molded with in a week. Fresh is probably best bought locally. And the containers in the dairy section are to big to fit comfortably in a standard fridge.  Except the butter, that a good deal 

and vinegar

 
I will be hitting up me Members Only Costco tomorrow in West O...

I will not only be scoping out the local talent :) . But I will be doing another review of something, not sure yet.

So, without sounding like a total bragger, things have been going pretty great, so I decided to join Costco since a new one opened up by me.  This is only the second membership I have ever had, the first being part of the Members Only jacket club, when I was gifted a light blue Members Only jacket when I was around 11 years old.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking..."Teach, how can you afford that?" and "Teach, how dare you become a member of a giant greedy corporation that is putting Mom and Pop stores out of business" and "Teach, can you PLEASE teach me how to talk to women, I am super lame when it comes to the females"

I get it, I know some of you are not members and I know some of you don't even live near one and can only dream of people a member of a super exclusive club, but enough about me.  I will be sharing some of my thoughts on the things I bought.  Think of these as reviews, if you like, because well they are reviews.

First up

The Premade Gyro Kit

Cost:  19 dollars 

What it comes with:  6 pitas, lettuce, chopped up cucumbers, tomatoes, two containers of Tzatziki sauce and a container of blue cheese crumbles.  And of course the delicious gyro meat. 

Review:  Totally worth it, easily makes 6 gyros but you can probably stretch it even more.  You have 3-4 days to eat them, give or take and you will have left over Tzatziki sauce, which is a plus.

Score:  Considering this comes to about 3.50 cents per gyro and it is really good, this is a no-brainer purchase.  

4/4 thumbs up.

I got a members only jacket during the pandemic.  Hunter green.  My fiancé's grandfather died and I found one in his closet while cleaning out his house.  Its a blueish gray but a little too small for me.  I talked his grandson into taking it and wearing it.  He's stylish now 

 
New Review!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to bite into the crunchy embrace of a chicken nugget that traveled through time from a Japanese grandma’s kitchen and landed in a Costco freezer, then look no further than Authentic Asia’s Tatsuta Age Chicken Nuggets. These little morsels are what happens when your favorite fast-food nugget takes a gap year in Japan, learns the art of subtlety, and returns with a crispy coating that whispers rather than shouts. The ginger and soy flavors are just sophisticated enough to make you feel like a refined adult while still letting you dip them in ketchup like the overgrown kid we all are at heart.

But don’t let the fancy packaging and cultural nods fool you—these nuggets are still quintessentially Costco. They come in a bulk bag that could feed a small village (or one person binge- posting on the PR Forum) .

Sure, they might lack the grease and mystery meat charm of their drive-thru counterparts, but these nuggets are all about class and crunch. Pair them with some steamed rice or eat them straight out of the bag while standing over the sink at 11 p.m. They’re impressive, they’re tasty, and they’re one more reason to tell yourself that your Costco membership is an investment in global cuisine.

Rating:  4 Bows and/or 3.5 Samurai Swords.  You will not dishonor your family or yourself if you buy these.

I wish I could do more! Sadly Costco is destroying my bank account!  

I am addicted to that place and I have yet to even buy booze when I am shopping there!

That's why you have to turn it into a business model. Maybe at the end of each blog post you call your readers to action. "Donate 5 dollars today, it will go a long way towards my next Costco review". Once you receive donations you can spend them at Costco and repeat the process! Soon you'll have enough Lincolns saved up you can buy that fancy Japanese whiskey that comes in the dragon shaped bottle.

I was more thinking since it was my idea I'd take 50% of the gross when the blog starts making money. If it isn't performing well in the first 6 weeks we are going to have to replace you with Joe Rogan and rename the show to Rogan Knows: Costco. For now we roll out Costco with Teach. That is unless you have a better name?
