Around the World: Domino's Taiwan - Pizza with Giant Meatballs

Domino's Taiwan's latest limited-time pizza is a standard pizza with the crust of your choice... plus giant pork meatballs. The meatballs appear either barely stuck or not attached to the pizza's cheese, which would seem to make eating them a bit of a balancing act.

Review: KFC - Hot Shot Bites

New KFC Hot Shot Bites are a spicy variation on the Original Recipe Bites that were introduced this time last year. The new spicy Bites feature chunks of white meat chicken marinated with spicy cayenne peppers before being battered and fried.

I paid $3.99 for a combo with a side and a drink, except they forgot to include my side and I neglected to check the bag before I left the restaurant. I did get three Hot Wings at 3 for $1.50 and 2 Biscuits for 99 cents off of a new "Snackables" menu they're offering here in Southern California though.

News: Wienerschnitzel - 15 Cent Hot Dogs on July 21

Wienerschnitzel is spooling up the wayback machine and returning their hot dog prices to 1961 on this Sunday, July 21 (well, on three of their hot dogs anyway).

The promotion runs all day on Sunday, July 21 and customers will be able to choose from an Original Chili, Mustard, or Kraut Dog for a discounted price of 15 cents at participating Wienerschnitzel locations.

The hot dogs normally go for $1 to $1.50 varying with location.
