Was it just a week ago that the FFB was blasted off the air by a massive internet service outage affecting millions? To compensate for absence of a Fast Food news roundup last weekend, I am proud to present a deluxe, crème de la crème edition today. We have a lot of catching up to do…
Buffalo Wild Wings sauces up the classic Chicken sandwich…
Subway streamlines ordering with new menu
The Sub shop that once was headed to Hell in a chip basket, ignoring customer complaints and getting chintzier and chintzier on toppings as time wore on continues to mend its ways. Now it’s streamlined its menu, offering a dozen fixed-recipe Subs. You can order from a list of 3 Cheesesteaks, 3 Italianos, 3 Chicken sammys and 3 Clubs. Al you have to do is give the name or number of you choice and the team behind the counter will rev into high gear to fulfill your order. That said, you can still order your fave ‘classic’ Subway Sub as before – fully customized.
Buffalo Wild Wings gets saucy with sammy
BWW has unveiled a new Saucy Chicken Sandwich. It’s really just another ‘classic’ Chicken Breast sammy with pickles on a plain bun. The twist is, you can order it with any of BWW’s signature sauces and spice blends. Thing is, it’s available only at participating locations. No clear indication of whether this is a limited time offer or a permanent menu addition…
Hooters haunts its hot wings
With Ghost Pepper sauce! Known officially as Naga Bhut Jolokia, Ghost Pepper is the hottest naturally-occurring pepper in the world. And Hooters is jumping into the deep end of the Hot Wings pool with a new Ghost Pepper Sauce. The new condiment features a blend of ghost, cayenne and habanero peppers, with garlic and other spices. Clocks in at 15,500 Scoville units – 15 times stronger than the previous hottest sauce on Hooters’ menu.
Little Caesar’s Canada goes Deep Dish
LC’s is adding a Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza at participating Canadian locations. It features the classic deep, chewy Chi crust and loads of toppings of your choice…
… And it’s just (C)$12.99, for a limited time only.
TGI Fridays premieres ‘new twist’ on Fajitas
You can now get three zippy new Fajitas at TGIF offering, “sweet, savory, and globally-inspired flavors.” Choose from Tandoori Chicken Skewers (with mini flatbreads), Dynamite Shrimp and Whiskey-Glaze Blaze Tex Mex (both with flour tortillas). All come with sides of Jasmine rice, pico de gallo, sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

Hostess features Tropical Blast Twinkies
They feature Hostess’ signature golden sponge cake filled with a blue-colored, tropical fruit-flavored creme. They’re around for a limited time only – until July 31 – or while supplies last.
