News: Dunkin' Donuts - New Oreo Donuts and Coolattas

Dunkin' Donuts is going with Oreo cookies for their latest batch of new stuff. There's two varieties of Oreo Donuts and two flavors of Oreo Coolatta.

On the donut side, there's the Oreo Donut and the Oreo Crumble Donut. Strangely, there are both topped with Oreo crumbles so I don't know how they decided on the names. Coin flip maybe?

The Oreo Donut comprises of a yeast donut filled with vanilla buttercreme, frosted with white icing, and topped with Oreo cookie crumbles.

Baskin-Robbins Flavor of the Month this July is Oreo 'N Chocolate, a chocolaty take on the standard cookies 'n cream with chocolate ice cream, Oreo cookie pieces, and a fudge ribbon thrown in for extra chocolate flavor.

Review: El Pollo Loco - Chicken Tostada Salad

El Pollo Loco Chicken Tostada Salad comes in a large fried tortilla "bowl." The salad itself consists of a bed of Romaine lettuce blend (mostly iceberg lettuce), cheese, chunks of white meat flame-grilled chicken, pico de gallo, cilantro, and sour cream with a creamy cilantro dressing on the side.

The salad goes for $5.29.

News: Dairy Queen - July 2012 Blizzard of the Month

Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the Month for this July is the Chocolate Candy Shop Blizzard, so named because it sports a mix of assorted chocolates (filled with hazelnut creme, fudge, and caramel) blended with dark cocoa fudge and vanilla soft serve.

As per usual, the Blizzard Cake of the Month is also Chocolate Candy Shop for your special occasions/party needs.

News: Jack in the Box - New Waffle Breakfast Sandwich

Jack in the Box is out with a new Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, but only for a limited time.

The breakfast sandwich features a fried egg, a slice of American cheese, and a new (and hopefully improved) country-grilled sausage on two lightly-sweetened waffles.

I imagine it offers a similar experience to McDonald's McGriddle except Jack in the Box serves breakfast all day.

Review: Nestle - Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream Bar

The Nestle Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream Bar is a relatively new addition to their line up of chocolate-covered ice cream bars (technically chocolaty-covered frozen dairy dessert bars) that replaces the standard vanilla ice cream with a caramel-flavored ice cream and adds pretzel bits to the chocolaty coating.

A box of six retails for $4.79 at my local supermarket, but it's not uncommon to find them on sale for $2 to $3.

Review: Jack in the Box - Jr. Jack

Jack in the Box's Jr. Jack is the junior-sized version to the Jumbo Jack. Suspiciously, the middle-child, Jack, is missing. As a smaller-sized Jumbo Jack, the Jr. Jack contains the same stuff -- beef patty (but smaller), lettuce, tomato, pickles, chopped onions, mayo-onion sauce, and ketchup on a regular bun instead of a sesame seed one.

I picked on up for $1.19 at my local Jack in the Box off the value menu.

White Castle brings back their Pulled Pork BBQ Sliders for a limited time this summer. In addition, they're serving up two new BBQ Sliders: BBQ Bacon Chicken and Original BBQ.

The new BBQ Chicken Slider consists of all-white meat chicken breast topped with Bulls-Eye Original BBQ Sauce and a slice of hickory-smoked bacon on a standard White Castle bun.

Review: Pizza Hut - Garlic Bread Pizza

Pizza Hut's Garlic Bread Pizza is only pizza in the loosest possible sense of the word. It features nine round slices of garlic bread topped with cheese and your choice of toppings for $8.99.

I picked up one with pepperoni on top and it came with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
