Last week, I was talking to a friend, and I told him that I can’t believe McDonald’s didn’t do the McRib this year. Yes, my conversations are really that boring.
Anyways, he told me that he heard it was coming back soon. This morning, I got a text confirming that it is coming back on December 3rd.
“The McRib is more than a sandwich – it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.”
That’s right. This year, McDonald’s is selling a half gallon of A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce for $19.99. However, there is a catch. It is only available on November 25th and while supplies last. So, if you want one, which I do, then set your alarms to go off at 10a on Monday. Actually, don’t because you might buy the last jug before I get mine. So don’t tell anyone about this.
November is Thanksgiving month, and Baskin-Robbins created an interesting flavor to celebrate the holiday.
Inspired by your cheeseboard faves, Brie My Guest is an unbelievable combination of brie and burrata flavored ice creams, mixed with almonds and pistachio pieces and apricot swirls. Brie and burrata flavored ice creams provide subtle savory notes, while almond and pistachio pieces add a delightful crunch. Finally, the apricot swirls give a pop of tangy sweetness. Ice cream lovers won’t brie-lieve that so much deliciousness could fit into each pink spoonful.
“Holiday gatherings are about sharing memorable experiences, and our Brie My Guest and Turkey Cake do just that,” said Jerid Grandinetti, Vice President of Marketing & Culinary at Baskin-Robbins. “Our new Flavor of the Month is a bold twist on the best parts of a cheeseboard that will delight your guests and spark conversation at the table.”
I have to admit on paper, it sounds kind of gross. However, I am intrigued to find out how it tastes. I love cheese and nuts because you are what you eat!
Earlier this year, Red Lobster was close to being put in a boiling pot. However, thanks to Flavor Flav, the seafood restaurant will be around for a lot longer.
They are having such a resurgence that they added seven new items to their menu starting today: Lobster Pappardelle Pasta, Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops, Lobster Bisque, Lemon Basil Mahi, Simply Prepared Mahi, Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, and Roasted Asparagus,
The good news doesn’t stop there. It gets better. They brought back Hush Puppies and Popcorn Shrimp for us to eat up.
“We’re thrilled to give our guests more reasons to celebrate this season with the launch of our new menu,” said Nichole Robillard, Chief Marketing Officer at Red Lobster. “From mouthwatering new dishes and the return of beloved fan favorites to holiday-inspired sips and unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits, there’s something for everyone. Come join us and make unforgettable memories with us this season.”
They don’t have to tell me to try the new items, I am swimming over there as you read this.
Let’s be honest. The best part of the Thanksgiving meal is the pies. What would make them even better? If they were donuts!
Guess what? This year, that is exactly what Krispy Kreme is doing with four new pienuts!
Chocolate Silk Pie Doughnut: an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with chocolate buttercreme and chocolate curls.
Lemon Creme Pie Doughnut: an unglazed shell doughnut filled with lemon pie filling, dipped in lemon yellow icing and graham crunch, topped with meringue buttercreme dollop.
Blueberry Crisp Doughnut: an unglazed shell doughnut with blueberry filling, dipped in blueberry icing and streusel topping.
Apple Crumble Doughnut: an unglazed shell doughnut with apple pie filling, topped with pie crust buttercreme and cinnamon cookie crumb topping.
“There’s nothing more meaningful and traditional than spending time around the table with those we love this time of year. Our new Thanksgiving Pies Doughnut Collection was created with that in mind to help bring people together and sweeten the season of sharing joy and gratitude,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme.
The pienuts are available from now until Turkey Day. Which ones are you going to try?
If you are like Snooki and me, then you love pickles! So what if I told you that on October 28th, Jimmy John’s is selling two sandwiches that are using pickles as bread? Well, they are!
The Vito® Picklewich: Remixed for pickle lovers, it’s our premium meat from our Vito® original sandwiched between two halves of a juicy Jimmy Pickle®. Enjoy salami, capocollo & provolone cheese, fresh-sliced lettuce, tomato, onion, oil & vinegar, and oregano-basil with a crispy, pickley crunch.
The Turkey Picklewich: We’re sandwiching premium turkey and provolone between two halves of a crisp Jimmy Pickle. With fresh-sliced lettuce and tomato, this is a fresh take on a classic sandwich combination.
I just found myself in a pickle because I am going to eat one every day that they are availble. Thankfully, we can only order them until November 14th. Otherwise, I would be green like the Grinch by Christmas. Is it like carrots? If you eat too many, then you can turn orange.
