McDonald's Offering $2 Triple Cheeseburger in Select Markets

McDonald's is offering a $2 Triple Cheeseburger in at least some markets.

Like the name sounds, it's basically their standard Cheeseburger but with two extra patties and one extra slice of cheese (which really kinda makes it a McTriple since it doesn't have one slice of cheese per patty).

Taco Bell Working on a New "Quesalupa"

Taco Bell is working on a new dish called the "Quesalupa." Ostensibly a quesadilla crossed with a Chalupa, I haven't been able to pick up too much information regarding the possibly upcoming menu item but have reached out to Taco Bell for comment (I'll keep you guys updated if I hear anything back).

Here's what I've been able to put together so far:

Review: El Pollo Loco - Chocolate Churros

El Pollo Loco's Chocolate Churros are basically a chocolate version of their more traditional cinnamon churros.

An order of two 8-inch churros cost me $1.19.

Free Doritos Locos Taco with any Taco Bell Mobile App Order

Taco Bell looks to push the perks of their mobile ordering app by offering a free Doritos Locos Taco with any purchase made through the app for the entire month of January (update: the deal is ongoing for an indefinite amount of time with no set end date).

The deal is good until up to 1 million Doritos Locos Tacos are given out, or while supplies last, at participating Taco Bell locations.

Pizza Hut Singapore's 2014 Christmas Menu Looks Mostly Normal

Pizza Hut Singapore's 2014 Christmas Menu actually looks pretty normal and good, in fact. It's only available at dine-in locations but they're offering Country Pie (AKA shepherd's pie), Beef Goulash, and Christmas Roast.

Okay, there's a little bit of weirdness in the new pizza, the Triple Joy Pizza, which looks more like a party platter than a pizza.

Review: Pizza Hut - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Pizza Hut's BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza features barbecue sauce, classic meatballs, hardwood-smoked bacon, fresh red onions and diced Roma tomatoes with a barbecue sauce drizzle and toasted cheddar crust.

It's recommended on their hand-tossed crust so that's the way I went. I paid $12 for a large.

The latest sandwich from McDonald's Japan is the new Crab Croquette Burger, which, like the name suggests includes a breaded and deep-fried crab croquette in place of a meat or chicken patty.

Review: Taco Bell - $1 Crunchwrap Sliders

Taco Bell's new $1 Crunchwrap Sliders are smaller versions of the Crunchwrap Supreme and feature the same distinctive hexagonal fold and grilled exterior. They come in three varieties: Beefy Cheddar, BLT, and Spicy Chicken.

I picked up one of each for $1 a piece and also got a Crunchwrap Supreme for size comparison while I was at it.
