News: McDonald's Launches Egg White Option for Breakfast

I mentioned it back in April, and now it's here: McDonald's offers the new Egg White Delight McMuffin nationwide, as well as an option to switch out regular egg and American cheese for egg whites and white cheddar on any egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.

Custom Order: Wendy's - Hot Chili Seasoning with Fries

Wendy's Hot Chili Seasoning is a non-commonly-known sauce they offer to add a bit of heat and depth to their chili. Since chili goes well over a baked potato, I decided to try Hot Chili Seasoning over Wendy's French fries (I know my logic is astounding).

The sauce is free, you just have to know to ask for it.

My local Jack in the Box is offering them at $3.19 for a 16-ounce regular and $4.19 for a 24-ounce large.

Review: Campbell's Chunky - Creamy Chicken and Dumpling Soup

Campbell's Chunky Creamy Chicken and Dumpling Soup is probably not as popular as their Chicken Noodle; it sports a lot of the same ingredients: chicken, carrots, celery, and peas, but in a creamy chicken soup.

An 18.8-ounce can cost me $1.50 on sale, but can range around $3 regularly.

Around the World: McDonald's Taiwan Offers Rice McWraps

McDonald's adds a bit of local flavor with new Rice McWraps in Taiwan.

The flour-tortilla wraps feature a filling of special rice from Tainan (a city in southern Taiwan famous for its rice), beef or chicken, veggies, and sauce.

The rice is of the glutinous kind to bring an al dente-like chew. It's mixed with sesame oil and mushrooms for added flavor.

Around the World: Pizza Hut UK Adds Sicilian Pan Option

Pizza Hut UK adds a bit more flavor to your standard pizza crust with the limited-time offer of a "Sicilian Pizza Base" crust option.

The crust features Pizza Hut's standard pan pizza dough with garlic and herbs mixed in. The name's a bit odd to me as, here in the US, a "Sicilian pizza" tends to refer to a thick-crust pizza.

News: Arby's - New Mighty Minis with Limited Availability

Arby's is offering new mini sandwiches called "Mighty Minis" in select markets for a limited-time. Similar to Burger Kings's now-discontinued BK Minis, Mighty Minis comes in pairs with connected but separate-able buns and come in three varieties: Original, Spicy, and Crispy Onion.

Along with the three flavor choices, you can also choose between sliced roast turkey or roast beef.

Frozen Friday: Magnum Gold?! Ice Cream Bars

Magnum Gold (stylized as "Gold?!") ice cream bars are the newest offering in Unilever's Magnum brand of super-premium ice cream bars. They're new to the US but have been available for some time now abroad.

The ice cream gets its name/gimmick from a thin metallic gold shell on top of the typical Belgium milk chocolate shell of the ice cream bars. Inside is vanilla bean ice cream swirled with sea salt caramel.

A 10.14-ounce box of three bars retails for $3.99, but I received these for free from Unilever.

News: Chipotle to Offer Hand-Made Patron Margaritas

Starting April 29, Chipotle will offer new hand-made margaritas made with a choice of either Patron Silver or Sauza tequila in about 900 of their US restaurants. The change comes just in time for Cinco de Mayo and as the weather starts to warm.

The new margaritas will be made with triple sec, lemon-lime juice, and organic nectar according to The Huffington Post. The old margaritas were also made with Sauza tequila but with a margarita mix instead of separate ingredients.
