Review: Raising Cane's - Chicken Fingers

Raising Cane's is a fast food chain that serves only one main dish: Chicken Fingers. The battered and deep-fried chicken strips are accompanied by crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, and Cane's Sauce for dipping. That pretty much covers the chain's menu.

When ordering all you're left to choose is how many chicken strips you want. I picked up The Box combo, which yields 4 strips, sides, and a 21-ounce drink. It's their most popular order and costs $6.79.

The $5 Moonlight Meal Deal includes a Double Stack burger, an order of Chili Cheese Fries, and a Large Drink.

News: Pizza Hut - Large Pizza for Medium Price Promo

For a limited time, Pizza Hut is offering any large pizza for the same price as a medium with the same toppings at participating locations. They're calling it the "Large for a Medium Charge" promotion.

The deal amounts to about a $2 or more discount at most locations since a medium pizza starts at $8, while a large starts at $10.

News: KFC Free Boneless Chicken on May 6, 2pm to 4pm

KFC will be running a promotion this upcoming Monday, May 6, from 2pm to 4pm where the first 100 customers who come to each participating KFC location can score a free piece of Original Recipe Boneless chicken by saying "I ate the bones."

They're calling it "Boneless Happy Hour," but it won't be a regular thing. It really should just be "Free Boneless Day" or something.

Around the World: Domino's Guatemala Offers Donut Pizza

In what is perhaps one of the more pointless gimmicks I've seen this year, Domino's Guatemala is currently offering the limited-time, new Donut Pizza. It's basically a pan pizza with a hole in the middle.

News: Domino's Lets You Watch Pizza-Making Live

Perhaps in an effort to bring back the theater in pizza making, this month Domino's is offering all the online live pizza -making you could possibly want to watch from one of their locations in Salt Lake City. They've installed five cameras throughout the store so anyone can watch each pizza being made throughout the day from pizza forming through to the oven.

Review: Jack in the Box - Pizza Bites

Jack in the Box's new Pizza Bites are deep-fried, breaded, and herb-seasoned pizza dough pockets filled with mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and turkey pepperoni.

An order of three bites runs for $1.99 in my area.

News: Jones Soda Offers Poutine-Flavored Soda

Probably not a surprise from a company that's released Turkey & Gravy-flavored soda, but Jones Soda is offering a limited-edition Poutine-flavored soda exclusively to Canada.

Poutine is probably best known as the quintessential Canadian dish of French fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curd. The dish is so popular that it's regularly available at Wendy's and KFC restaurants in the country (and have been offered at McDonald's and Burger King in the past).

News: Del Taco - New Tastes Menu

Along with their new Buck & Under menu, Del Taco now offers a New Tastes menu with three new items: a Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Taco, a Chili Cheese Fry Burrito, and a Fiery 6 Layer Burrito.

The company plans to refresh the menu regularly based on customer demand.
