Frozen Friday: T.G.I.Friday's - Sizzling Steak Fajitas

T.G.I.Friday's Sizzling Steak Fajitas frozen meal, similar to their Sizzling Chicken Fajitas (but with steak obviously), features seared beef steak, seasoned strips of bell peppers and onions with a side of cheesy rice and three mini flour tortillas.

The price is around the high end for frozen meals at around $4.29 which means you're looking at the $2 to $3 range on sale.

Neat: Starbucks Store Made of Used Shipping Containers

Out in Tukwila, Washington, Starbucks has one of their most interesting locations/experiments: a Starbucks store made completely out of four shipping containers (the huge ones you see on cargo boats at the docks or on TV in the crime dramas for weapons storage or human trafficking).

Calling it the Reclamation Drive-Thru, the store contains 450 feet of floor space for the making of lattes and Frappuccinos and the like and offers drive-thru and walk-up service. Seating is outdoor only.

News: Wienerschnitzel - "UnDer the Sea" Trio Returns

Hot dogs and fish? Okay, more like hot dogs or fish. Der Wienerschnitzel returns their "UnDer the Sea" Trio for a limited time (read: Lenten season).

Besides the normal Fish and Chips, the trio also includes the Sea Dog and the Fish Wrap.

The Sea Dog is basically a hot dog but with a battered and fried fish filet instead of a hot dog wiener and lettuce and tartar sauce for condiments.

The Fish Wrap is the same deal but wrapped in a tortilla rather than a hot dog bun and the tartar sauce is replaced by a creamy salsa.

All three items are available at participating Wienerschnitzel locations for a limited-time.

News: Kraft - New Milk Bite Milk and Granola Bars

The folks at Kraft have done something kooky with your common granola bar: they've added real milk to them with their new Milk Bite Milk and Granola Bars. It's the taste of granola plus the calcium equivalent of a cup (8-ounces) of milk.

You won't find them in the snack aisle with the other granola bars though, Milk Bites are in the refrigerated dairy section. And yes, this means that you have to put them in your fridge when you get them home.

Milk Bites come in five different varieties: Chocolate, Strawberry, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin and Mixed Berry. Each bar provides 30% of the daily recommended value of calcium and do not contain any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

Review: Carl's Jr. - Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit

The Carl's Jr. Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit features their new Made From Scratch biscuits and replaces the Sunrise Croissant at the Carl's Jr. locations that carry them.

They go for $1.89 each but there's a promo where you can pick up two for a very affordable $2.

News: The Coffee Bean - $1 Wild Cherry Tea or Tea Latte on February 28

The Coffee Bean is hosting an "Open House" on Tuesday, February 28th from 2 to 5pm featuring your choice of one of two $1 12 oz drinks: a Wild Cherry Tea Latte (hot or iced) or a Wild Cherry Fru-Tea.

The timing is a bit odd on this one. In the past they're normally had these events from 4 to 7pm which is more convenient for people coming home from work or school. 2 to 5pm is a bit of a dead spot in the day but maybe that's the point.

The fine print: "Check your local store for closing times. Offer valid only at participating locations. Not valid at Ralphs, airport or Hawaii locations. Valid on February 28th from 2-5pm ONLY."

Review: Arby's - Jamocha Cream Pie

Arby's Jamocha Cream Pie is a riff on their popular Jamocha Shake that switches it up by giving it to you in cream pie form.

Papa John's latest menu addition is the limited-time, new Five Sausage Pizza. A large is available for the promotional price of $10 (normally it's $14.00 for specialty pizzas at Papa John's although they're also running their $11 for any pizza promo).

Feature: Krispy Kreme Coffee Tasting and Pairings

On the morning of second and last day of Krispy Kreme's Blogger Summit, they invited us to try their new Signature Coffee Blends (introduced last year) along with suggested donut pairings.

I'd never done a coffee tasting or "cupping" before, so I was pretty intrigued. There are three varieties of Krispy Kreme coffee blends: the House Blend, the Dark Roast, and the House Decaf.

Feature: 5 Fun Facts About Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco

For those of you who don't know, I was invited out to Taco Bell Headquarters (known as "RSC" for "Restaurant Support Center") earlier this week to hear about the new Doritos Locos Taco, get a tour, and check out the Taco Bell Test kitchen.

Along with details on the launch of the taco, I put together a list of 5 fun facts regarding the Doritos Locos Taco gleaned from the event:

1. Originally, the idea was to just sprinkle some Doritos seasoning on a Taco Bell taco. Fortunately, the initial tested observed that it was like they took a taco and sprinkled some Doritos seasoning on it and were less than enthused.
