If you thought that all the chicken sandwiches that could possibly be introduced already had been, you would be wrong.
A new array of these crispy sandwiches that travel well and taste good with pickles are in the offing, including the national rollout of one that KFC tested in the winter, a Nashville Hot one from Wings Etc. Grill & Pub, and a new and improved line from Starbird.
If you were thinking, “Gosh, I’m tired of chicken sandwiches; what I’d really like is a lot of shrimp, like all that I can eat, forever,” Red Lobster has you covered: Its Ultimate Endless Shrimp is now on the menu permanently, for 20 bucks.
If it’s hot sauce you want, Buffalo Wild Wings has a new one made of nine different hot peppers, including one called Devil’s Breath. If you can eat 10 of them in five minutes or less you get some ice cream and a headband!
Or you could buy your ice cream at Baskin-Robbins, which is playing around with the creamy filling of Oreo cookies.
Marco’s Pizza has new boneless wings and two new sauces, neither of which sound particularly spicy, unlike the Lava Sauce that has returned to Taco Bell.
In what might be a first for a coffeehouse chain, Scooter’s Coffee has a kids’ menu. Starbuck’s, meanwhile, has a new line of frozen lemonade, and Tim Horton’s has watermelon drinks, among other new items.
Zaxby’s has funnel cakes, and so does Wings & Rings.
Taco Cabana has breakfast bowls, and Fazoli’s has vanilla-orange cheesecake.
Applebee’s has some more $6 cocktails, Voodoo Doughnut has some new fruity desserts, and Velvet Taco’s Weekly Taco Feature has baby back ribs.
