Well, Gouda day to you, and aloe me to introduce myself!<\/p>\n
My name is Sam, and I am a food-obsessed, food-loving, and food pun-loving individual, and you butter dill with it! Ok, I\u2019m done with the lame puns.<\/p>\n
To kick things off, I am a born-and-raised Wisconsinite, so I\u2019ve got the heart and soul to deal with anything fried, hearty, or related to good food. I know how to properly eat cheese (fried) and how to differentiate between all creamed goods that come from a cow. Seriously, some of the ice cream flavors in Wisconsin are utter this world. Ok, last one. <\/p>\n
I grew up in a town right outside of Green Bay and have loved discovering new food products and recipes since I was a little kid. However, there was always an issue with where I grew up. I never had access to the cool and trending options and products that plaster themselves in all large, urban areas. For Heaven\u2019s sake, if I want a decent vegan burger, I need to drive two and a half hours to Milwaukee. Not that I have done that. Not at all. <\/p>\n
Anyhoo, since I didn\u2019t always have access to the most exciting foods, ya know, besides fried cheese and custard, I was so excited when I could get my hands on something new. I mean, after a while, a diet of dairy, dairy, dairy, and fried dairy tends to get a little lifeless.<\/p>\n
As much I love cows and cows, I really need to move to a bigger city. Eventually, I want to get to Chicago, so I can start being even more of a scatterbrain with just a little more chaos because what\u2019s the fun in being sane? Plus, I\u2019ve been to Chicago every year, and their food game is honestly stronger than a Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson cheat meal.<\/p>\n
I am so excited to be joining The Impulsive Buy to give a fun glimpse into various products and review them so that I can help you in your life. Should you disagree with an opinion of mine on food, you\u2019ll be wrong, but we can still coexist. I\u2019m absolutely kidding, but I will make you prove me wrong about a cheese curd.<\/p>\n
I look forward to reviewing all the fun, sugary, and tasty treats for this site, and I have one motto going forward: If it has greens or kale in it, I\u2019m not wasting my time.<\/p>\n
Here we go!<\/p>\n
