In efforts to boost holiday cheer, and no-doubt checks as well, a number of chains are adding new alcoholic beverages to its menu, including Bonefish Grill, which has a new signature white wine blend, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, which has a couple of new cocktails, Hot Head Burritos, which has a proprietary Margarita-like drink with MTN Dew, and Curry Up Now, which has a whole lineup of low-alcohol drinks.
Blaze Pizza also has introduced a nice little check booster: Cheesy bread.
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Jinya Ramen Bar and North Italia have rolled out their winter lineup of limited-time offers, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream has new seasonal frozen treats, and BurgerFi has a new milkshake.
BurgerFi also has a new burger topped with a patty of encrusted mac & cheese, similar to White Castle’s returning Mac & Cheese Nibblers.
Fresh Brothers is selling lasagna by the trayful for the holidays, Cotton Patch Café has out together holiday feasts for up to ten people, and Veggie Grill has DIY tamale kits.
Frisch’s Big Boy has new large breakfast sandwiches called BIGscuits, Bartaco has a seasonal chorizo taco, and Cava has a new lentil salad.
Velvet Taco, as it does every week, has a weekly taco feature — this one featuring fried oysters — and Voodoo Doughnut is celebrating Hanukkah with its version of celebratory sufganiyot, or jelly doughnuts.
