Review: Taco Bell - Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla

Taco Bell's new, limited-time Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla features a double portion of thick-cut, marinated steak with pepper jack cheese folded inside a large flour tortilla, which is then pressed/grilled. It measures a pretty good size and comes with tortilla chips, sour cream, and new fire-roasted tomato Cantina salsa on the side.

An order comes in at $4.99, which is in line with the rest of the Cantina Menu. A chicken version is also available for $4.79 at my local Taco Bell.

Preview/Review: New Yoplait Greek Yogurt

Taking into account feedback regarding their current Greek yogurt offering, the folks at Yoplait will be coming out with a new Greek Yogurt this August. Customers weren't big on the previous fruit on the bottom and aftertaste of the current stuff, so the fruit is now blended into the yogurt and they've tried to eliminate the aftertaste.

I was offered the opportunity to sample the new yogurt pre-launch and received several 5.3-ounce cups in the mail courtesy of Yoplait. The suggested retail price will be $1.29 a cup.

Around the World: KFC Canada - New Waffles Fries and Harvest Vegetables

For whatever reason, KFC restaurants here in the States don't offer French fries. However, up north in Canada, KFC and even Taco Bell serves French fries. Now, KFC Canada even serves new Waffles Fries, along with new Harvest Vegetables.

I guess Waffle Fries are sorta like Potato Wedges, and we get those... Also, they offer gravy but not mashed potatoes (it's for the fries... I think).
