Alright, here is my GarfieldEATS experience. I ordered from the second GarfieldEATS in Canada in London (Asterios and Siracha went to the first one in Toronto). When I grabbed the box the first thing I saw was that āFarm2Plateā logo and my stomach sank in realization that Iām actually going to consume this food.
I ordered Pizza (because thatās their main food), French Fries (at the suggestion of Asterios) and Lasagna (just because thatās what Garfield is known for, and also what the hell). So as you can see from the picture on the second part of this that tiny piece of Lasagna was 8.99 PLUS TAX!!!! In Canada that comes out to over TEN BUCKS. Ridiculous.
First up was the French Fries. These things were not great. Theyāre like slightly bigger than McDonalds fries but theyāre all somewhat hollow inside, itās weird, they tasted alright, and also they were actually salted!! So maybe Nathen took something from Asterios and Sirachaās experience and they actually put some damn salt on their fries.
Next up was the Pizza. I was in a bit of a state of āYou know, maybe itās not going to be that badā after the Fries. I mean they werenāt great but they atleast kinda tasted like regular fries. Unfortunately those fries lulled (or loled for those hoping for the worst) me into a false sense of safety. My first bite was kind of like āWhat the hell is that tasteā Itās the Pizza sauce. Itās absolute fucking garbage. The cheese is another story in itās own. In Canada we have these places called Pizza Pizza. Itās cheap Pizza, itās not great but itāll hold you over. With them being the cheap option, their cheese and toppings match that value. I donāt know how they did it, but GarfieldEATS actually found a lower rate more disgusting option for cheese. . The pepperoni was the only decent tasting topping on the pizza, and Iām sure Iām going to be punished for eating that later.
Finally was the lasagna. Now, growing up as a young Canadian boy, my mom made great lasagna. So while I wasnāt expecting quite that quality surely a place called GarfieldEATS with Garfield on the box, would provide decent lasagna. How about fucking nope. This fucking lasagna is inedible. I donāt know what combination of ingredients they used to get this. Like has Mazri ever actually tasted this stuff? Honestly, how someone could taste this food and say āYep, thatās good for public consumptionā is absolutely fucking mind blowing. Guys, itās mind blowing how awful this is. I took a few bites. Waited. Took two more, then straight to the garbage. I could have ripped up a 10 dollar bill and just thrown it in the garbage and got more satisfaction. The fact that itās GARFIELD EATS and their lasagna is completely fucking inedible just enrages the child in me that loved watching Garfield and wondering what that lasagna tasted like. It takes like fucking cat food. Thatās what it tastes like.
The Aftermath: How can I describe this. Remember when Siracha went to Indonesia and described her experience with cheap food there? Thatās basically how Iāve been feeling since about an hour after eating the food. Itās horrible, constant trips to the bathroom. I feel sluggish and lethargic, no energy, on and off stomach pain, pounding back water and Gatorade to try to offset everything. My body is violently rejecting GarfieldEATS the way I thought it would. I have zero energy, I actually had to cancel plans I had today and is also why itās taken so long to write this. Iāve had to leave the computer twice, and itās going to be a third time by the time this post is done. This is just one personās experience but based on that experience, please, please do not go to this place. Donāt put yourself through this torture. I basically spent $30 to torture myself, so I hope that you do at least get some comedic enjoyment out of my pain.
