Another week of take-home specials with a heavy emphasis on snacking-style menu items from a wide variety of Fast Food and Snack Food makers. In the midst of it all, Taco Bell introduces a new Burrito, White Castle features three new Chicken Ring deals, and Domino’s goes ‘Carside’…
The new Taco Bell Grilled Cheese Burrito: The Wrapper is made of Grilled Cheese!
Taco Bell intros Grilled Cheese Burrito…
It’s a Burrito with a sort of inside-out twist: It a mix of Rice, Red Crispy Strips, a Three Cheese Blend, Sour Cream, Chipotle Sauce, and your choice of Seasoned Beef or Beans – wrapped in a shell of Crispy, Melted Cheese. Available solo, or as part of a $5 Deal pack which also includes Cinnamon Twists, a Crunchy Taco, and a Medium Soda. For a limited time only, of course…
… Brings back $1 Nacho Crunch Double Stacked Taco
Go ahead. Grab two. They’re not small, but they are addicting. It’s a Crunchy Taco Shell filled with TB’s Signature Seasoned Beef, lettuce, Shredded Cheese, and Crispy Red Tortilla Strips, then enfolds it in a soft Flour Tortilla with a coating of Nacho Cheese to weld them together. This is the second limited-time appearance this year for the popular menu item.
White Castle features Chicken Rings Deals
There are three distinct deals available: a 12-Ring order of Rings; a 20-piece order; Share-A-Meal Pack #8 (10 original Sliders, 20 Chicken Rings, and a sack of Fries); and a free 20-piece order of Chicken Rings with the purchase of a Crave Case ordered online or through the White Castle app. For a limited time only.
Domino’s offers ‘Carside Delivery’
Other brands have had it for weeks, now, and most of them have dubbed it ‘Curbside Pick-up’. But Domino’s, it seems, decided to be different – maybe to try and cover up the fact that it’s just getting on the bandwagon, now. Order and pre-pay via online system between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., enter the ‘Carside’ option, then plug in your vehicle’s colour, make and model. You can also select where you want to receive your order: passenger side, back seat, or trunk. Until further notice, across the chain.
Stouffer’s launches new Lasagna Bites
For the Heat and Eat Crowd: New Stouffer’s Lasagna Bites. Meat Sauce, noodles, Mozzarella Cheese, and Italian-style Herbs and Spices all encased in Stouffer’s signature ‘Bites’ Breading. See also Stouffer’s new Chicken Pot Pie Bites and Bacon White Cheddar Mac Bites. All three should be available in a supermarket frozen food case near you by the end of this month.
Hostess rolls out new Limited Edition S’mores Cupcakes
Look familiar? Yeah… Just like regular, iconic Hostess Cupcakes, but with a S’Mores surprise: Graham Cracker-flavored Yellow Cake, Toasted Marshmallow-flavored Creamy Filling, topped with a Chocolate Icing.
Kit Kat’s latest flavour is Apple Pie!
Described on the package as, “Crisp Wafers in Apple Pie flavored White Creme, naturally & artificially flavored,” they’re topped with White Icing that is sprinkled with brown powder – probably Cinnamon.
Chick-Fil-A pours Summer coolers
CFA has brought back its popular Peach Milkshake (how appropriate for a company headquartered in the Peach State!), and introduced a new Mango Passion Tea Lemonade. the latter is described as, “a blend of Lemonade, Unsweetened Iced Tea, and a Syrup with natural Mango and Passionfruit flavors.” Both are available at participating CFA locations, for a limited time.
And that’s the skinny…
… On what’s going to be making some of us fatter over the coming days and weeks. See you back here in 7 for another edition of Fast Food Week!
