Around the World: Wendy's Philippines Offers More Homestyle Meals

Wendy's is offering new, more localized, home-style food in the Philippines with their latest offering, Real Meal Deals.

Available for 49 pesos each (~$1.18 U.S.) and purporting to offer "real food at everyday prices," the new meals offered include:

News: Clif Bar - Seasonal Flavors Return

Clif Bar returns their seasonal holiday flavors this year with Iced Gingerbread, Peppermint Stick and Spiced Pumpkin Pie (they'll make pumpkin-anything won't they?).

The seasonal energy bars are made with 70 percent organic ingredients and carry a suggested retail of $1.39.

Frozen Friday: Fresh & Easy - Eatwell Chicken Enchilada

Fresh & Easy's Eatwell Chicken Enchilada features a chicken enchilada with red sauce and a side of Mexican-style rice.

A 9-ounce box retails for $1.99, which is comparable to the sale prices of other similar frozen meals.

News: Quiznos - New Prime Rib Hollandaise Sub

Quizno's latest menu addition, the new, limited-time Prime Rib Hollandaise Sub consists of slow-roasted prime rib, a Hollandaise steak sauce, sauteed mushrooms, and a double portion of mozzarella cheese on toasted garlic bread.

Hollandaise is a seasoned egg yolk and butter sauce. It's typically rich and buttery with a slight lemony tang.

News: Jamba Juice Shows Up with Eggnog and Pumpkin Pie Smoothies

Jamba Juice offers limited-time Eggnog Jubilee and Pumpkin Smash smoothies this autumn along with a couple of other seasonal menu offers.

The Pumpkin Smash Smoothie blends up Pumpkin Spice Base, Frozen Yogurt, and Soymilk. The base includes pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Review: Carl's Jr. - Original Six Dollar Burger

It used to be advertised as the Six Dollar Burger for under $4, but nowadays it's quite a bit closer to that $6 mark. Carl's Jr.'s Original Six Dollar Burger (since there are other variations now) is a hefty burger with a charbroiled Black Angus beef patty, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, two slices of tomato, red onion, pickles, mustard, mayo, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun. The ingredients are similar to a Whopper with cheese.

It's normally $4.99 at my local Carl's Jr., but a recent promotion has the price back at $3.99.

News: Togo's - New Toasted Dips Sandwiches

Togo's introduces two new sandwiches to their line up this fall with the Roast Beef Dip and the Triple Dip.

The Roast Beef Dip features hot roast beef, melted provolone cheese, and horseradish mayo on a classic white bread roll. It's priced at $6.25 for regular and $8.00 for a large.

Review: Arby's - Turkey 'N Cheddar Sandwich

Arby's Turkey 'N Cheddar sandwich features thin-sliced roast turkey topped with a cheddar cheese sauce and Red Ranch sauce on a toasted onion roll and served hot.

My local Arbys sells them for the same price as a similar Beef 'N Cheddar at $3.69 each.

News: Sonic - Cheesecake Bites Return

Sonic returns Cheesecake Bites this fall. The little desserts are small pieces of cheesecake rolled in bits of graham cracker crust and then fried and served with strawberry sauce for dipping.

It sounds like something you'd get at a country fair, no?

News: Jack in the Box - New Loaded Breakfast Sandwich

Expanding on their selection of sourdough sandwiches this month, Jack in the Box introduces the new, limited-time Loaded Breakfast Sandwich. Offered all day, the sandwich features two slices of grilled sourdough bread filled with two fried eggs, two slices of American cheese, ham, bacon, and sausage.

Featuring pretty much every pork-based breakfast meat plus eggs (maybe they should name it the "Piggy Chicken Sandwich"), the sandwich delivers 36g of protein and joins the new Sourdough Cheesesteak Melt on the limited-time menu at Jack in the Box.

Review: Papa John's - Meatball and Pepperoni Pizza

Papa John's latest limited-time offer, the new Meatball and Pepperoni Pizza, features meatballs, pepperoni, a blend of four cheeses (Asiago, Fontina, provolone, and parmesan), and a generous sprinkle of Italian herb seasoning.

It's offered for a promotional price of $11.

News: Baskin-Robbins - October 2012 Flavor of the Month

This month, Baskin-Robbins brings back their perennial October Flavor of the Month, Trick Oreo Treat. The flavor features vanilla ice cream mixed with orange-colored creme Oreo cookies, Baby Ruth, and Butterfinger pieces.

It's available at participating location nationwide during this month by the scoop (in a cup or cone), in a milkshake, or in hand-packed pints and quarts.
