News: Wendy's - Peanut Dressing Being Replaced Due To Allergy Concerns

Wendy's Asian Cashew Chicken Salad is currently without its Light Spicy Asian Chili Vinaigrette as it was recently pulled due over concerns from peanut allergy sufferers (the dressing listed peanut butter among its main ingredients).

News: Taco Bell Testing Flamin' Hot Fritos Nachos Dip

Taco Bell is testing something they're calling Double Dippers out in Bakersfield, CA.

The new test item is so named because it features a triangularly-folded grilled stuffed flour tortilla with two cups for dipping: one filled with warm nacho cheese and the other filled with crushed Flamin' Hot Fritos corn chips.

The idea is that you first dip the stuffed tortilla into the nacho cheese and then dip it into the Flamin' Hot Fritos; it's kinda like a reverse Grilled Stuft Nacho (which was, in turn, a portable version of nachos).
