According to the brand, the hot dogs are the first of their kind on the market and are made with a blend of turkey, chicken, pork, and hardwood-smoked bacon.

Review: Wendy's - Fresh Baked Oatmeal Bar

Wendy's Fresh Baked Oatmeal Bar is part of Wendy's currently-shelved (but still offered at select locations) breakfast test. It's a fairly sizable bar featuring oats, blueberries and cranberries.

The Wendy's breakfast location I went to has them on the menu for $1.29 each.

A Look at McDonald's New "Dual Point" Ordering System

Earlier in April, the Wallstreet Journal reported that McDonald's would soon be rolling out a new "dual point" ordering setup nationally, as part of a larger plan to improve customer service. Basically, instead of picking up your order at/next to the same register where you ordered it, everyone picks up their order from the same area.

I recently came across the new ordering setup and snapped some pictures to share. Here's how it works:

Larabar is a brand of unprocessed energy bars that are gluten-free, non-GMO, and kosher according to the box. I recently tried Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Larabars, which are made with dates interspersed with dark chocolate chips and chunky peanut butter.

A box of eight 1.6-ounce bars is normally around $6.99.

Frozen Friday: DiGiorno - Pizzeria Primo Pepperoni Pizza

Pizzeria (stylized as "pizzeria!") is DiGiorno's latest line of pizzas meant to offer a pizzeria-style crust that you can bake at home. The Primo Pepperoni is topped with "premium" pepperoni and promises a "crispy outside, soft & airy inside, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil" crust.

An 18.7-ounce pie cost $5.49 at Target. I was actually hoping to pick up a Supreme, but this is the only variety they had.

Local Review: Grill 'Em All - Pig Champion

The Pig Champion is Grill 'Em All's version of a breakfast burger. It's like a whole breakfast plate, but on a burger and features a champagne hollandaise sauce, a round of Canadian bacon, a fried egg, and field greens on a half-pound medium-rare hamburger patty, sandwiched inside an egg bread bun.

One of these will run you an even $10.

Around the World: McDonald's Germany's Los Wochos is Back

Los Wochos is a Mexican-themed menu offered now and again by McDonald's in Germany. If you actually speak Spanish or like me, ran "wochos" through Google Translate, you realize that it is not a Spanish word. It's actually a bastardization of the German word "woche," which means week, although the promotion typically runs longer than that.

Taco Bell is currently testing a Waffle Taco as a possible First Meal breakfast item at at least one Southern California location as shown in this Instagram photo.

The menu item consists of a folded waffle filled with a sausage folded over some scrambled eggs. There's a packet of syrup on the side to sweeten the deal.

How's it taste? Sarah1ch5 was effusive in her praise, saying, "It was awesome!" and tagging it "#itsdelicious" and "#callitwafflebell."

Review: Nathan's Famous - Two Hot Dog Combo

Nathan's Famous restaurants aren't really found in Southern California, but there are a couple of them on the Strip in Vegas which is where I tried this Two Hot Dog Combo. It came with two hot dogs, topped with sauerkraut, and a side order of thick crinkle-cut fries.

Of course, since it was the Strip, there was a bit of a mark up and the combo cost me $9.95 (McDonald's was the only restaurant I found inside the casinos whose prices weren't marked up).
