News: Burger King - Tendergrill Chicken Now on Whole Wheat Ciabatta

In a move toward making their healthier fare healthier, Burger King recently announced a new whole wheat ciabatta bun for their Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich. The touted benefits of the new bun are 9 grams of whole grains, fewer calories, less sodium, and less fat (but interestingly, more saturated fat). The sandwich sells for a retail price of $3.99

Inexplicably, according to the Burger King website, the new bun contains 15 grams of protein. Check out the full nutritional comparison after the jump.

Review: Jack in the Box - Egg Roll

Out of all the major food chains, Jack in the Box probably offers the most variety. They can dish up a reasonable facsimile of whatever it is you're craving, from their mainstay of burgers and fries to tacos to egg rolls?! Yup. Egg Rolls. Jack in the Box serves Chinese-style Egg Rolls fried crispy and filled with diced pork, cabbage, celery, carrots, and onions with sweet and sour sauce to dip it in.

Review: Wienerschnitzel - Jalapeno Poppers

I love Jalapeno Poppers.  Especially, when they're cheap.  Wienerschnitzel's Jalapeno Poppers are priced three for 99 cents as part of their "UnDer $1 Menu."  For those of you not in the know, Jalapeno Poppers are jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese and then breaded and deep-fried. They usually make for a crispy, spicy, cheesy snack.

The Asia Trip: Delifrance Hong Kong - Jumbo Sausage Croissant

Delifrance is an international French bakery/cafe chain that I came across while in Hong Kong.  It's actually in over 50 countries, just not the U.S.  It looked pretty interesting so we ate there for breakfast.

Since it is located in Hong Kong, the menu had several popular local favorites along with more French-style items like pastries, sandwiches, and something called a "croque-madame," which is a hot ham and cheese sandwich with a fried or poached egg on top.  Pasta also seems to figure in the menu somewhere.

Review: Wendy's - Homestyle Chicken Fillet Sandwich

Wendy's Homestyle Chicken Fillet is a premium step up from the value menu chicken sandwiches that a lot of fast food restaurants carry on their menus. It features a boneless chicken breast fillet, seasoned and breaded, iceberg lettuce, a slice of tomato or two, and mayo for $3.99 (price varies with location, I usually use a two chicken sandwiches for $5 coupon though).

Review: Popeyes - Wicked Chicken

Popeyes' Wicked Chicken is a limited-time, slightly different, thinner take on their Louisiana Tenders. Basically, they are long, thin strips of battered chicken breast meat. You'll notice that my particular order is a bit smaller than the advertised box and comes with Mashed Potatoes instead of Cajun Fries.

News: Panda Express - Free Orange Chicken after 9pm with Any Purchase

Panda Express is doing a late night special (I didn't even know Panda Express was open after 9pm!) where with this coupon, you can get a free single serving of Orange Chicken with any purchase (say a drink or an egg roll if you're really hard up on cash) after 9pm.

Mmm... Orange Chicken... just an FYI, if you think regular Orange Chicken is good, fresh Orange Chicken is SO much better, so find a Panda Express with a lot of traffic.

Details: One coupon per person. Valid at participation locations. Not valid at airport, theme park, or stadium locations. Cannot be combined with any other coupons, discounts, or promotions. Expires July 11, 2010.

Sunday Funny: Burger King - "I am Man"

I loves me some jingles and Burger King loves hitting the "Young Hungry Guys" demo. This ad for the BK's Texas Double Whopper a couple of years back shows you such manly acts as punching each other in the stomach (i.e. the gut punch) and throwing vans off of bridges.

Local Review: Tokyo Grill - Chicken Bowl - Montebello Mall

There seems to be quite a few Tokyo Grills around the U.S. but they don't seem to be related. The Tokyo Grill I went to was located in a mall and featured meat grilled in front of you as you ordered.  A Teriyaki Chicken Bowl will run you $4.99.

Review: McDonald's - Snack Size Reese's McFlurry

I tried McDonald's new Snack Size Reese's McFlurry on a recent trip to San Francisco. A McFlurry is McDonald's answer to DQ's popular Blizzard, which is to say it is vanilla soft serve blended with a topping (in this case, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups). I paid $1.69 for my Snack Size McFlurry (a full ten cents cheaper than the $1.79 charged at my local McDonald's).

News: Church's Chicken - New Wild Wings

Church's Chicken is now serving up traditional (read: actual wings) or boneless wings (read: boneless chicken breast pieces) with a money-back guarantee if customers are dissatisfied with the product.

Dubbed "Wild Wings," the wings are hand tossed in a choice of five different sauces: Buffalo Hot, Buffalo Medium, Honey BBQ, Chili Lime, and Sweet & Spicy.  They can be ordered in a set of six for $2.99, two for $1, or five for $2 with the purchase of a Family Box meal at regular price.  A pretty good bargain matching Pizza Hut's Wing Wednesdays.
