We are pissed to hear the Grant/Alvernon Eegee's was robbed by a woman with a knife yesterday.
Not cool.
Tucson News Now reports:
"According to Sgt. Pete Dugan of the Tucson Police Department, a woman walked into the eegee's on East Grant Road and North Alvernon Way and demanded money."
Love is in the air, especially at Ina and Thornydale. Picture this, a man in eegee's to order lunch. He orders, gets his name called and is on his way out.
Then there you are, right there. Your smile is infectious, you are right in front of his face but what does he do? He's already on his way out, he's already going towards the door. Does he stop, does he ask for your number? Sadly, no he can't bring himself to do it.
He continues out the door. As he gets in his car he immediately regrets his decision, this woman took his breath away. How does he reconnect with this woman?
This man turns to Craigslist. He asks for the help of the public to help him find this woman. A woman who could be his true love.
Does this sound familiar? It should, things like this happen more often than not. Let's help this eegee's love couple find each other this Valentine's Day.
As in Justin Timberlake's "Not a Bad Thing" Music Video one gentleman says, "Love is not scripted, it just happens." This is so true and you could be part of this eegee's love story.
Our favorite guys are back reviewing the January Healthylicious Campaign from eegee's. Seriously, if you have not seen this, you need to watch it. There's no guest speaker this week, but the sarcasm is on point.
The guys are reviewing the Healthylicious Sandwiches, the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie and the new flavor of the month Pineapple Watermelon. It's the splash, the splash, complete with Jazz hands. So good.
HEALTHYLICIOUS
This covers the four turkey sandwiches that eegee's has to offer.
"They tend to be on the delicious side, not on the healthy side. Anything with ham and white bread, usually isn't considered healthy."
We couldn't agree more. You can't just think you're eating healthy, you must know what goes into your food.
Turkey D-Lite - This comes with wheat bread instead of white and fat-free house dressing. No cheese for you if you're trying to lose weight.

New campaign name Licious, there's nothing healthy about it. Eight inches of bread. Carb lovers dream.
Don't forget if you add fries and a drink you're consuming more calories. Small fries add 260 calories and a large fry is 390. Oh and if you add one cup of ranch dressing, pack on another 300 calories.
"If you've made a New Year's Resolution to lose weight we recommend you stay away from this sandwich." "Unless you've given up already... try it quitter."

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH
The new flavor of the month for eegee's is the Watermelon Pineapple Splash. Watermelon is a huge fan favorite. We even predicted this flavor would be a combination. Though is it a bit too good to be true? First, watermelon is watered down with pineapple.
The guys report that the flavor is a bit mild. You don't really even taste either of the fruits. It's a background flavor. It's the elevator jazz music. And we're just going to leave that one here.
Do you agree with the guys' opinion on this flavor? Let us know in the comments.
COOKIE OF THE MONTH
The cookie of the month is the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie. It's a giant cookie with cinnamon, sugar and real pieces of pecans.
You can see Tim fall in love with this cookie starting with the first bite. He will be stocking up on this cookie to enjoy throughout the year!
Have you had the Cookie of the Month? What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments.
RECAP
The food is overall good. Turkey is a go to sandwich when you aren't feeling adventurous.
The new flavor is okay, but is more of a sugar crash than a flavor you could get excited about and get your watermelon fix until summer.
Finally, the cookie. It's on point. This is what you should be eating this month. MMmMMmmm Cookies. Cookie of the Year!
No one needs a New Year Resolution. Fast Food is the way to go!
Though if you do want to try and stay healthy there is a Salad of the Month the guys didn't get around to reviewing. Probably because real men don't eat foo foo salads. Watch that dressing ladies!
One final note, the sign off "Thank you for watching us eat." Should be your signature. Keep it.
You order an eegee's special order. You wait the required four days to go pick it up and there you have it. A giant styrofoam cube full of you favorite eegee's flavor. It’s buckled in tight, you drive it home and set that sweet baby on the counter.
Now, what do you do? Eat it of course. But what do you eat it in when it's not socially acceptable to just eat it out of the cube, with your bare hands.

If you’re not down for the Modern look of the Octagon Tea Cup, maybe you will like this photographer lens mug with a lid. It’s a really great optical illusion to those who freak out if liquid comes anywhere near their professional million dollar camera.
This mug is pretty explanatory. When you are having a day and shoveling your face full of eegee’s to make everything better, give people around you a tip to just stay away. Far, far away.
Ahh Tucson Studios. This mug screams nostalgia. The Tucson studios mug is the older generation, ones who love the old Western or to the Ghost Hunter. All around a solid mug to enjoy eegee’s from.
