News: Starbucks 2012 Fall Seasonal Menu

The price is on the fast food high end at $4.99.

News: Boston Market - New Market Bowls

Boston Market introduces new Market Bowls, which takes a KFC-like approach in layering entrees and sides into a easy-to-eat bowl.

Each Market Bowl features your choice of two gourmet sides (a starch and a veggie; one of each) and a choice of Boston Market's signature Rotisserie Chicken, Roasted Turkey Breast, or Meatloaf combined in a bowl and topped with Beef Gravy, Poultry Gravy, or one of three sauces: Zesty Barbecue (mild); Sweet Thai Chili Garlic (medium hot), and Honey Habanero (medium hot).

News: Subway - New Birthday Berry Cookie

Since Subway is throwing themselves a birthday party this month, it's only appropriated that they're baking new, limited-time Birthday Berry Cookies, which feature a colorful blend of red, white, and blue in cookie form. Specifically, the cookie has cranberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips baked in.

My local Subway charges 60 cents per cookie or three for $1.25.

News: Baskin-Robbins - New Waffle Chip Dippers

Nachos as a dessert?! Well, kinda. Baskin-Robbins offers new Waffle Chip Dippers this month, a dessert consisting of a "dip" of vanilla soft serve drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with M&M’s and Snickers pieces, along with six hand-cut, triangle-shaped waffle and brownie chips.

Waffle Chip Dippers are available through the end of September at participating Baskin-Robbins shops nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.99.

News: Burger King - New Fall Menu with New Chicken Sandwiches and Wraps

Burger King has been on a tear lately with their new menu items. For the fall, starting this September, Burger King is serving up 7 (or 9 if you count the different varieties of wraps) new, limited-time menu items.

The menu theme is focused on chicken, but also touches on smoothies and breakfast.

Here's the complete list:

Review: Popeyes - Southern Peach Pie

With summer well on its way out, Popeyes' Southern Peach Pie also nears the end of its run. Fortunately, I was able to grab on for $1.49 on a recent visit to Popeye's.

From the product picture, I was expecting the bubbly, crispy-fried pie crust similar to McDonald's back in the day. Instead, I received something that more resembled a darkened normal pie crust that may have been baked at some point.

News: The Coffee Bean - $1 Fall Drinks on 9/6/12

The Coffee Bean will be offering $1 Fall Drinks tomorrow, Thursday, 9/6/12, from 2pm to 6pm.

The proceeds from the $1 drinks sold will be donated directly to Feeding America, a hunger-relief charity.

News: Pizza Hut Returns the Big Dinner Box

Just in time for football season, Pizza Hut's latest promotion returns the limited-time Big Dinner Box for $19.99 (last seen in 2011 and not to be confused with the $10 Dinner Box). There are a couple of tweaks though.

In 2011, the Big Dinner Box came with 2 rectangular, medium, 1-topping pizzas, 8 wings of your choice, and 5 breadsticks with marinara dipping sauce. This time around, instead of 8 wings, you can choose from one of three items: a tray of Tuscani Pasta (Meaty or Creamy Chicken Alfredo), 4 Stuffed Pizza Rollers, or 8 wings (with your choice of dipping sauce). My local Pizza Hut also includes an order Quepapas (cheesy fried potato bites) as a possible choice.

News: Subway - September 2012 Featured Footlong

This month, Subway's September 2012 Featured $5 Footlong(s) is a bit of a question mark because it varies from Subway location to Subway location.

This year they've decided to throw themselves a birthday party (I've read that Subway was founded in August though) all month long and are offering $5 Footlong Faves which is basically a selection of $5 Footlong subs that varies from store to store. Basically, you'll just have to go or call your local Subway to find out what they're offering for $5.

Review: KFC - New Chicken Littles Sandwich

KFC's new Chicken Littles are purported "updated for the 21st century and even better than the original!" according to KFC. They bear little resemblance to the original which was a mini-slider with a small breaded chicken patty and a little bit of mayo to set it off, served on a dinner roll.

The new Chicken Littles feature an Extra Crispy Strip nestled inside a mini-hot-dog-bun-like sweet bun topped with pickle slices and mayo for $1.29. That might seem a bit pricey, but the strip on its own already runs about a buck or more.

Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the Month this September is a oldie-but-goodie: the Oreo Blizzard. It's made simply with crumbled pieces of Oreo cookies blended into vanilla soft serve.

In addition, Dairy Queen is offering a promotion at participating locations this month where you can buy one regular price Blizzard and get a second one for 99 cents.

Review: Carl's Jr. - Memphis BBQ Burger

Carl's Jr.'s Memphis BBQ Burger is their latest "meat-on-meat" limited-time burger offering pairing barbecued pulled pork with a charbroiled hamburger patty. Accompanying the meaty duo are crispy onion strings, American cheese, Sweet Baby Ray's Memphis-Style BBQ sauce and a sesame seed bun.

I tried the Six Dollar Burger version and it set me back $5.99 (remember when it was the idea for the Six Dollar Burger was that you paid less than six dollars for it?). A single and double patty version are also available for $3.99 and $4.99 respectively.

News: KFC - New Chicken Littles

Not to be confused with the old Chicken Littles, KFC now serves new Chicken Littles sandwiches nationally. Looks like the Los Angeles market just started the rollout just a little early.

They're describing the new Chicken Littles as "Freshly breaded tenders on a sweet bun" and selling them for $1.29 (same price as the a KFC Snacker). They're basically a crispy tender in a mini bun (not the same bun as KFC Snackers) with mayo and pickles. The suggested price is $1.29 each.

Review: Nabisco - Wheat Thins Smoky BBQ

Wheat Thins Smoky BBQ are your basic Wheat Thins cracker covered in a smoky barbecue powder.

A 9-ounce box retails for about $3.59.

Around the World: McDonald's Malaysia - Chicken Muffin with Egg

At McDonald's Malaysia restaurants, you can get the chicken and the egg. One of their current limited-time menu promotions is the Chicken Muffin with Egg.

The sandwich features a breaded and fried chicken patty, a freshly-cracked egg, a slice of American cheese, and special sauce (looks like mayo) on a toasted English muffin. It's also available without the egg, but then it's just the chicken isn't it?

Review: Tostitos - Artisan Toasted Southwestern Spices Tortilla Chips

One of the newest additions to Tostitos Artisan Recipes line of chips, Toasted Southwestern Spices feature a 9-grain blend of tortilla chips sprinkled with a blend of garlic, cumin, red pepper, paprika, and other seasonings.

A 9.75-ounce bag retails for $3.99, but it's not uncommon to find them on sale for $2 or so.

Around the World: McDonald's Malaysia Serves Criss Cut Fries!

For a limited-time, McDonald's Malaysia is offering seasoned Criss Cut Fries, those specially-cut fries that make you think, "How do they cut it like that?" until you learn about a mandoline and demonstrations like this.
