News: Popeyes - New Dip'n Chick'n

Popeyes is following up their limited-time (and now gone) Rip'n Chick'n by changing a letter and going with new, limited-time Dip'n Chick'n.

Instead of a freaky hand-shaped fried chicken breast, Popeyes goes a bit more normal with breaded and fried breast meat chicken scoop-shaped medallions served with a double portion of blackened ranch sauce.

The blackened ranch dipping sauce consists of a buttermilk ranch dressing mixed with onion, garlic, a blend of peppers and Magic-brand blackened seasoning.

Dip'n Chicken'n is available for a limited-time with Cajun fries and a biscuit for $3.99 through October 23, 2011.

News: Carl's Jr./Hardee's - New Steakhouse Burger

In their take on the type of burger served up in a steakhouse, Carl's Jr. and sister (considering their main consumers, shouldn't it be "brother"?) chain Hardee's offer up the Steakhouse Burger created by none other than the mythical god of hamburgers (at least according to the commercial), Hamblor.

The Steakhouse Burger features mayo, A.1. Steak Sauce, crumbled blue cheese, crispy onion strings, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a charbroiled beef patty on a sesame seed bun. As far as the beef patty goes, you can get it as a single patty, double patty, or an Angus Six-Dollar Burger (aka Thickburger) patty.

You can check out Hamblor and his supernatural burger creation methods after the jump.

Review: Wendy's Spicy Bacon & Blue Chicken Sandwich

Wendy's Spicy Bacon & Blue Chicken Sandwich is something they've been testing here and there and features a crispy fried spicy chicken filet, lettuce, tomato, thick applewood smoked bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and the same steakhouse sauce they used on the Bacon & Blue Cheeseburger.

It's a buck more than the regular Spicy Chicken Sandwich at my local Wendy's coming in at $4.99.
