News: Jack in the Box - New Pizza Bites

In continuing their tradition of providing you with late-night munchies, Jack in the Box has added new, limited-time Pizza Bites to their menu.

The deep-fried Bites feature a breaded and herb-seasoned pizza dough pocket filled with mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and turkey pepperoni. They're available in 3- and 6-piece orders and are served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

News: Quiznos - New Chicken Fajita Sub

Quiznos' latest is the new, limited-time Chicken Fajita Sub, which looks to incorporate Mexican and Latin American flavors into sandwich form. It's basically chicken fajita fillings on bread rather than a flour tortilla.

The new sub features sliced, oven-roasted white meat chicken breast, sauteed onions, roasted tri-color (red, yellow, and green) bell peppers, aged cheddar cheese, and a new Fajita Lime sauce on a new, toasted jalapeno cheddar baguette. It is also available with Black Angus steak instead of chicken.

My Ben & Jerry's Adventure - Day One

I recently got the chance to visit Ben & Jerry's headquarters in Burlington, Vermont, where I and a group of bloggers/journalists got a behind-the-scenes look at their Scoop University (where franchisees learn to run a scoop shop), their test kitchen (where they come up with those wonderful flavors), and the Ben & Jerry's factory.

Review: Wendy's - Smoky Honey Mustard Flatbread Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Wendy's Smoky Honey Mustard Flatbread Grilled Chicken Sandwich features sliced grilled chicken breast, a spring mix of leafy greens, tomatoes, and smoky honey mustard sauce, wrapped in a five-grain toasted flatbread.

It costs slightly less than the Asiago Ranch at $3.69.

News: Einstein Bros. - New Bagel Clusters

Einstein Bros. Bagels and Noah's New York Bagels (collectively "Einstein Noah") now offers new Bagel Clusters. They look like the bagel version of donut holes, are served hot, and come in two varieties: Cinnamon Sugar and Asiago Garlic.

The idea for these is convenient portability i.e. snacking on the go, while giving you a choice between sweet and savory.

News: Jack in the Box - New Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal

While blueberry oatmeal isn't that unusual, Jack in the Box aims to inject a bit more breakfast pastry into it by offering new, limited-time Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal.

Available all day, the new breakfast item features a blueberry muffin-flavored oatmeal topped with a blend of dried blueberries and currants, plus streusel topping.

News: IHOP - New Brioche French Toast

IHOP introduces new Brioche French Toast. The new dish is made with thick-cut round slices of brioche bread, soaked in lightly-sweetened vanilla batter before grilled. They can be had topped with Banana Foster, Berry Berry, or Peaches & Cream.

Brioche originates from France and is a bread known for its richness and softness due to high amounts of egg and butter content. Of course, with all that egg and butter, it also tends to cost more than a lot of breads.

Review: Dunkin' Donuts - Blueberry Cake Donut

Dunkin' Donuts' Blueberry Cake Donut is your standard cake donut interspersed with little blueberry-flavored bits and glazed.

I picked one up while in Vermont for 99 cents.

Around the World: KFC Barbados Offers Corn Nuggets

Since last year, select KFC locations in Barbados have been offering new Corn Nuggets on and off again for a limited time.

Corn Nuggets are traditionally a Southern dish and KFC's version features "bite size sweet corn kernels coated with a golden crispy batter."

From what I can gather, corn nuggets tend to be sweet but not overly so. It looks like the corn mixture needs to be frozen before fried for the breading to set before the filling overcooks.

Arby's Tests Bottled Arby's Sauce

If you've ever thought, "Gee, I wish they would sell bottles of Arby's sauce," Arby's is currently offering them for a limited time at Arby's restaurants in Savannah, GA and Harrisburg, PA.

The 11.5-ounce bottles sell for $2.99 each.

News: Subway Brings Back Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sub

For a limited time, Subway has brought back the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sub as their latest $6 Footlong Special. The sub features pulled chicken in a smoky barbecue sauce plus your standard choice of fixings and bread.

Review: KFC - Boneless Chicken

White meat - left, dark meat- right

KFC's Boneless Chicken is a skinless, boneless take on their bone-in Original Recipe fried chicken. According to their research, a majority of people like boneless chicken and this is their effort to appeal to those folks, notwithstanding the fact that they offer chicken strips and have offered a Boneless Filet in the past.

Boneless Chicken carries a 25-cent-per-piece upcharge over KFC's regular bone-in chicken and can be had in white or dark meat. KFC is also currently promoting a two-piece Boneless Chicken combo (with a side, biscuit, and drink) for $4.99.
