News: Burger King - Free New Onion Rings

Burger King is giving out free value-sized orders of Onion Rings this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, February 4th and 5th at participating locations (No purchase necessary. Not valid during breakfast hours).

According to Burger King's Facebook page, these onion rings are new. I guess they do look a little different but it is a promotional product shot so it's hard to say and I can't find any other information on the matter.

In addition to the onion ring giveaway, Burger King is also offering a chance to win a $10 BK Crown Card (i.e. gift card) for "Liking" them on Facebook.

Chipotle has a sweet deal this upcoming Super Bowl Sunday where you can pick up their Burritos by the Box ordering option by ordering at least 6 burritos anytime (during restaurant hours) on Sunday, February 5th and you'll get half of your order for free.

Burritos by the Box costs $7.80 per person in my area and includes chips and salsa/guacamole (It's one bag of chips and side of sour cream for every two burritos ordered). The burritos are made with: cilantro-lime rice, vegetarian black beans, mild fresh tomato salsa, and cheese plus your choice of chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa, or vegetarian options

Feature: Inside Krispy Kreme's Home Factory

Or Q and the Donut Factory if you will. As I mentioned before Krispy Kreme flew me out to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for their Krispy Kreme VIB ("Very Important Blogger") Summit. Upon arrival, I, along with a group of bloggers, was given a tour of their factory which until very recently, did not make donuts.

Review: McDonald's - Chicken McBites

Following the footsteps of KFC, McDonald's is out with new, limited-time Chicken McBites which are battered and deep-fried bite-sized pieces of chicken breast.

I got a "shareable"-sized 10-ounce box for $4.99.

Review: Klondike - Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bar

The Klondike Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bar is a relatively recent variation on your standard chocolate and vanilla Klondike bar where instead of vanilla, there's mint chocolate chip ice cream instead and the chocolate is dark instead of milk. Nice, right?

A box of 6 bars goes for $5.29 at my local supermarket but is around $3.00 to $4.00 on sale.

Review: Popeyes - Spicy Cajun Wings

Popeyes' Spicy Cajun Wings are a limited-time menu item featuring marinated, battered, and deep-fried chicken wingettes and drumlettes.

I picked up 6 pieces for $3.99 which is a little bit more than the 50 cent wing promotion KFC is running.

Jose Ole frozen Steak & Cheese Flour Taquitos (aka Flautas) are a convenient, microwavable option for taquitos.
