News: Arby's New Steakhouse Sub

Arby's new limited-time Steakhouse Sub features a "combination of slow-roasted, thinly-sliced roast beef topped with melted Swiss cheese, freshly fried crispy onions and a zesty, cracked peppercorn sauce and toasted on a ciabatta roll."

Basically, it's their French Dip sub except without aus jus (Hm... did I just basically type "without with sauce?" Yep. I just did.), and with the added crunch of crispy onions and a peppery sauce.

News: Arby's - New Strawberry Banana Split Shake

Arby's likens their latest shake flavor to "enjoying a banana split through a straw."

Arby's new Strawberry Banana Split Shake is a limited-time item and features a strawberry and banana flavored shake with a chocolate syrup swirl topped with diced strawberries and is available in a 16-ounce cup.

Nutritional Info after the jump. This one's a bit of a sugar monster tipping in at 98g of Sugar.

News: Arby's New Prime-Cut Chicken Tenders

For a limited time, Arby's is adding Prime-Cut Chicken Tenders with a tangy Buffalo dipping sauce to its chicken menu line-up. The Prime-Cut Chicken Tenders feature whole white meat from the prime cut of the chicken breast breaded and fried.

I'm not entirely sure what the prime cut of a chicken breast is, but I would hope that it's the best cut of the chicken breast. I think that means the tenders would be juicier and meaty and I would be sorely disappointed to find otherwise. Just my two cents as a consumer.

The Tenders are available in 3-piece and 5-piece orders.

Review: Porto's Bakery - Chocolate Croissant

Porto's Bakery's Chocolate Croissant features a croissant with chocolate inside and on the outside.  It's a fairly good value for a bakery croissant priced at $1.50.

Frozen Friday: Claim Jumper - Baby Back Pork Ribs

In a rather curious decision, Claim Jumper sells a full rack (about 14 - 16 ribs) of Baby Back Pork Ribs with barbecue sauce in the frozen food section for $14.99(!) at my local supermarket.  Normally, I wouldn't even thinking of spending that much in the frozen food aisle, but since it was free courtesy of Claim Jumper, I thought it would be interesting to try.

Review: Taco Bell - Mexican Pizza

A Taco Bell favorite of mine, the descriptively named Mexican Pizza is Taco Bell's take on the pizza complete with a "pizza" sauce, melted cheese and toppings. A bit ironic since my local Taco Bell is also a /Pizza Hut where a Mexican Pizza can be had for $2.79 whereas a more traditional Personal Pan Pizza will run a bit more.

Review: Chipotle Secret Menu - Steak Quesadilla

An off-the-menu or "secret" item at Chipotle, the Quesadilla is huge! For $2.75, I got a large flour tortilla (the same they use for their burritos) filled with cheese, wrapped in foil and pressed until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is seared. For $2 more, I got steak in my quesadilla for a grand total of $4.75.

Review: Starbucks - Mocha Frappuccino

Starbucks' Mocha Frappuccino in its base configuration (since it's customizable) features a blend of strong coffee flavor with a bit of milk chocolate flavor at $3.65 for a 16-ounce pop.

The Asia Trip: McDonald's Hong Kong - Chocolate Pie

Mmm... Chocolate... they had Chocolate Pie at McDonald's in Hong Kong (it's not currently on the menu as far as the Hong Kong website is concerned).  And, at 1 HK as an add-on to a combo meal.  That is ridiculous cheap!  $0.13 cheap!  So yes, I got one with my combo meal.  Does this mean I'm a sucker for super-sizing?
