After years of complaining and pining, it looks like Dunkin' Donuts is coming to Southern California!!!
A total of 45 locations are to be opened here in So-Cal with the first stand alone stores to be located in Los Angeles and Orange County to be opened in 2015! AHH! This is great news. Now we can get fresh brewed Dunkin' Donuts coffee with a munchkin...DONUT!
Too bad it won't be early enough to enjoy these! But I cannot wait! Here's the full article with details I cannot articulate because I'm too damn excited!
Starbucks is partnering up with Dannon to make, "ready to eat Greek yogurt parfaits!" As you may know Starbucks already sells a couple of yogurt items at their counters but it looks like they are ramping up their efforts to get you to pair your oh so yummy Non-Fat Chai Tea Latte with a scrumdiddlyumptious greek yogurt parfait. No word if John Stamos will be showing up at your local Starbucks chucking Oikos products to you but that can't stop a lifetime Full House fan from hoping, right?! Have Mercy!
Get your "fat" on this coming summer because Fatburger is hitting the road and stopping at Walmart's across the nation in celebration of Walmart selling frozen Fatburger beef hamburger patties. If you haven't visited a Fatburger, it's well worth a check out. Yummy burgers and no skimping on anything. Make sure you have a healthy appetite before stepping in though.
If you don't have one near you, keep your ear to the ground and see if the Fatmobile stops by your local Walmart where they will be giving out free sample burgers and Coke Zero.
Fan of protein? Well, be prepared if you are in Dayton Ohio. On July 25th, Taco Bell is going to release their Power Protein Menu for guests in that area. The menu items feature TWICE the amount of protein than a normal menu item. So far they've announced the Power Protein Burrito which has a double portion of your choice of chicken or steak includes a double portion of chicken or steak, romaine lettuce, roasted corn and pepper salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, and reduced-fat sour cream wrapped up in a flour tortilla. They also have a bowl counterpart without the tortilla (for all our gluten-free friends out there.)
Make mine Steak!
They also announced that they'll be adding some more zero-cal soft drinks including my favorite Brisk Diet Green Iced Tea Peach. Yummy! If you wanna try that bad boy now, head over to Panda Express and then leave with your tea and go to Yummy Express to eat.
This is for a test audience in Dayton but if it's successful, don't be surprised to see these items added to your local Taco Bell.
McDonald's is now serving breakfast after midnight! Breathe easy now if you have a late night hankering for an Egg McMuffin. No longer do you have to wait until later in the morning to shove this delicious delight down the old pie-hole. After a couple of years of "market research," McDonald's is officially going live with their "Breakfast After Midnight Menu." Here's a look at it:
Notice you get to choose between fries and hashbrowns! Hello! Dreams do come true!
In So-Cal we've been experiencing a "Breakfast after Midnight Menu" for the last few months but it looks like McDonald's is making this match-made-in-heaven official for the country. They've also added items that our original, "market research" menu didn't have. It was quite small so that is definitely a welcomed change. However, where is my Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit!? Oh well, nothing's perfect.
Dunkin' Donuts is looking to expand in North Carolina. Well if they are expanding there hopefully soon they'll open a few here in old So-Cal. I actually got to have a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee last week during a quick trip to Las Vegas...the good news, it tastes just like the stuff I brew at home. Thank god for Costco!
Still a Dunkin' down here for us civilians would be awesome!
Well for all you seafaring folks seeking out adventure Long John Silver's is bringing back their classic tartar sauce...huh?! That's OK, I didn't know they switched it to a new recipe either. But never fear...all is good in the seafaring world now!
It's summer time and let the food and movie promotions begin! Carl's Jr./Hardee's is introducing the Super Bacon Cheeseburger in conjunction with the Man of Steel movie coming out early next month. Boasting 6 strips of bacon, you can definitely sign me up for this super burger. Today they will start playing commercials advertising the burger and it is actually directed by Zack Snyder, the director of Man of Steel and stars Superman so check it out on your Memorial Day!
Also for those collectors out there, they are offering 40 oz plastic collector cups featuring Man of Steel characters. Get yours today...yummm...bacon! Here's a coupon for $1 off!
Wendy's announced this week that the Frosty is boldly going where many a yummy, frozen-licious treat has gone before...in a waffle cone.
I know, it took them long enough, right?! But the fantastic Frosty can now call waffle cones their new home away from their everyday tedious-yellow-cup home it's been stuck in since it was born. You can get vanilla or chocolate and the suggested price is $1.49. Not a bad price especially during those hot summer days heading our way! Worth a try says I.
Well,
be still my heart! How do you make Del Taco even better for someone
watching their "eating out" fund? Or for the person who doesn't wanna cook
today? Del Taco has a new $1 and under menu!
Yes! I've been going to Del Taco for years. It's just a great place
to stop and fill up on food and on the cheap. To be honest, it's one of
my favorite cheap eats. Well it's getting even better. I found out about this news onQSR Magazine and I
went straight to my local Del Taco and ogled all the cheap choices I could
make: a .50¢ mini quesadilla, a .59¢ taco, a .75¢ jacked up bean cheese and
rice value burrito, a .75¢ mini BACON quesadilla, a $1 chicken taco and many
other choices. Perhaps my only issue was limiting myself on what to
order. My boyfriend, Nick and I exclusively ordered from that menu for a
grand total of $5! That's unheard of!
In addition to their Buck and Under Menu, I took
a look at their New Tastes Menu and the chili fry burrito looks tasty so that will be a
future selection. I love their chili cheese fries so I can imagine that this burrito is going to be mighty tasty! Nice upgrade Del Taco.
By the way, if you are dieting,
these new selections are the perfect portion size. I'm dieting and I love
quesadillas. My diet does not like quesadillas but Del Taco provided the
perfect compromise and I was able to enjoy a quesadilla without ruining my diet
for the day. Keep in mind this is a value menu and the size of food will
obviously reflect that. Except when it comes to the 1/2 lb bean and
cheese burrito at $1! Yes!
I don't
feel like cooking today...Del Taco anyone!?
Also, I
came across another news item on QSR Magazine about Taco Bell trying to up their value menu as
well. Their offerings, at this point, don't seem to have the same variety in price
range and settle around $1...I will be frank I have a Del Taco bias and would
go to Del Taco first before even considering a trip to Taco Bell but to each
his own.
Good job Del
Taco! Also if it has been awhile, go inside your local Del Taco they have
been renovating the stores one at a time and some even have one of those cool Coca-Cola Freestyle machines where you can get a multitude of different soda mixes!
