Okay hear me out. Warm the croissants up in the air fryer on Reheat or 350F for 3-4 mins. The PERFECT about of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside
I agree that the chicken bake needs a "dunker"… I would suggest a garlic/parm butter or a honey mustard! ALSO, I love the rotisserie chicken! I take the "carcass", break it up into pieces and freeze it. Then, when I have about three carcasses, I throw them into stock pot with some onions, carrots, garlic, and spices to make the best stock EVER!
So many funny comments from Alex! But the move is to put some of the hotdog in the chicken bake!
Still pissed about the rotisserie chicken repackage. In the old clamshell packaging you used to get enough drippings to at least start a gravy. Now that it’s in a bag…nothing!🤬
1.59 for a dog and drink….great price
Heat up those croissants!
I have to say I am not a fan of Costco hotdogs 🌭
The croissants need to be toasted and buttered😂
750 calories in that cookie !!!
They’re filled croissants are terrible. It taste like they use their old croissants and repurpose them
God’s Name should not be used like this
What makes their palates special? I’m confused. Taste is subjective.
I love that ICAG likes Costco foods like the rest of us. Also, I put ketchup and mustard on my hot dog.
You lost me at S for the croissants..sure you get a lot of limp unflaky white bread like faux croissants but please an S ? C at best..
Are you two just a little bit biased or what?? 😂 Everything there just can't be an S or an A. My all-time favorite has to be the almond croissant. 😋 Try it sometime.
This was awesome! Thank you!
Not enough cocktail sauce in the shrimp
Alex has gotten me through a lot of tought times from high school to now being 46. Our friend group would BINGE all of the food network shows and she was our fav. ❤
The rotisserie chicken is the best thing for when you need chicken meat for a recipe.
The croissants split in half and filled with their chicken salad are great for a quick potluck/picnic.
I loved this. Please do more. And I so respect Alex’s opinion.
Love you Alex!!!
the tuxedo chocolate mousse cake is one of the best things ive ever put in my mouth
LOL
Alex you're an S. Love you!
It looks like the picture of the shrimp shows up under a C, not an S or an A.
When you review together just put scales on both sides of the screen at the bottom for your individual scores. I like seeing the differences at the end
The croissants are great toasted in the oven for a few minutes. I also use them for hot ham and Munster cheese sandwiches. YUMM
we air fry our costco croissants. it's awesome.
I get one of those chocolate chip cookies every time I go to Costco. They are fresh and warm when you get them, and your hands and face are covered in chocolate by the time you've finished eating one. They may be great 3 hours old, but warm one up and it's a whole different animal… It becomes a frickin' unicorn. 🦄
Love this! We're Costco members and loved your review! Please do more!!!
I didn't know that Tony Soprano's sister
was a taste tester.
This is obviously a paid advertisement.
If you toast the croissant in an air fryer, it brings out the butter flavor and perks them up a bit. Highly recommend. Also making a sandwich with the Costco chicken salad is quite delicious . (I like to ass Harissa seasoning to my chicken salad)
Fruit stuffed in dessert is the devil’s work. I agree wholeheartedly!
Less than a year of videos on this channel and we're already to the "Testing Every Flavor of Toilet Bowl Cleaner" style of videos 🤑
Are the cookies sold in a box or individually in the food court?
The Tuxedo Mousse Cake is amazing for the price! That is our go to birthday cake.
The Chicken Bake is good for a few bites but it quickly ends up being too much of the same. That being said you can easily make two meals out of it.
Eating a Mattess😅😂💅✔️
"No one puts baby in a corner" LOLLLL
Sam's Club rotisserie chicken is seasoned better.
Sean is a millenial hipster. Pretense often obstructs context.
We call the chocolate torte the 48 hour cake! Because that’s how long it takes my husband and I to inhale it! OMG When he comes home with that, I know after 34 years he still loves me. Then I hit the treadmill hard for two weeks straight!
Looks like Alex eats anything.
I probably drive past a dozen pizzerias that are better than costco just on the drive over. But they all cost more than twice as much. Sometimes I just want beer and pizza and it doesn't have to be the best thing ever.
Also the real winners for desert are their cheese cakes. The strawberry streusel one was amazing.
We love our Alex … for so many reasons ❤
