In the old days, the weirdest thing people put on pizza was pineapple. That was then. This is now. The chains are selling Philly Cheesesteak pizzas, Buffalo Chicken pizzas, and so on.
And now, Pizza Hut is testing out one that has pickles on it. The new Pizza Hut Pickle Pizza starts with a hand tossed crust, sauced with Buttermilk Ranch, and topped with cheese, crispy breaded chicken breast seasoned with a kick of Nashville Hot Seasoning, sliced white onions, and then loaded with spicy dill pickles and a drizzle of Buttermilk Ranch to finish it off.
“We’re always looking for innovative ways to add new tastes and textures to our dishes, and pickles have been gaining popularity due to their versatility,” says Penny Shaheen, Head of Food Innovation, at Pizza Hut. “With our new Pickle Pizza, we’re tapping into the latest food trends while also putting culinary thought into how they come to life on a pizza. Our recipe is all about great flavor, balancing the tanginess of pickles with other classic ingredients we know taste good on our beloved pizza.”
As of now, the Pickle Pizza will only be available at select stores in Manhattan through the weekend. Hopefully, it does really well, and they expand it nationwide because I love pizza and pickles. And it is all about me.
June 12th is Grimace’s birthday, and McDonald’s is celebrating the big day!
To start it off, they are selling a Grimace Birthday Meal, while supplies last, that comes with a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, French fries, and a purple shake that matches the mascot’s coloring. Because Grimace loves shakes!
Along with that, they are also celebrating with:
Break out the b-day games: We’re launching an exclusive video game in collaboration with Krool Toys®, where you can immerse yourself in Grimace’s world as he races around classic McDonald’s birthday scenes to find his pals – like Birdie and Hamburglar – all in a quest to cut his birthday cake. The game will be free to play on desktop and mobile beginning June 12.
Get your party outfit on: Dress to impress in Grimace-inspired merch – from tees to socks – available to purchase beginning June 12 on GoldenArchesUnlimited.com, while supplies last.
In lieu of gifts: Fans can help drive a donation to a charity near and dear to Grimace – Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RMHC is there when families need them most, and Grimace couldn’t think of a better way to mark his birthday occasion than by having fans join him in giving to those in need. From June 13 – 14, fans can visit McDonald’s Instagram story and share a picture of their favorite birthday memory via the “add yours” sticker. For every picture shared, we’ll donate $5 to RMHC up to $200k.
In case you are wondering, the fast food giant also revealed that we will probably never know what Grimace is. So tell me what you think Grimace is…
Today is June 1st, and the start of Pride Month. In honor of its LGBTQ+ and ally customers, Habit Burger is selling a Rainbow Shake.
The shake features vanilla ice cream blended with rainbow cereal, strawberry, and passionfruit purees, blue raspberry syrup and finished with whipped cream sprinkled with crunchy rainbow cereal.
And instead of a cherry on top, they are donating $1 (up to $50,000) from every shake sold to It Gets Better.
I don’t know if it is because Fruity Pebbles is my favorite cereal, but that shake looks so freaking delicious! And at $5.39, I am sure I will be helping Habit Burger donate a lot of money to It Gets Better. As long as I forget that I am lactose intolerant.
Taco Bell is making its fans happy because they are bringing back the Enchirito. However, it is only for a limited time.
The Enchirito was introduced in 1970 and pulled from the menu in 2013. Since then, fans have been wanting it back. So last year, when the Mexican fast food giant asked which item they should bring back, the hungry fans said the Enchirito.
If you are not familiar with it, it is seasoned beef, refried beans, and onions wrapped inside a warm flour tortilla that is covered with cheddar cheese and red sauce.
So if you want one, don’t run to the border; run to Taco Bell, which will make you run for the border.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is coming to theaters on June 2nd, and Burger King wants in on the action. So they created a Whopper just for the occasion.
How is it different than the Whooper that hasn’t been bitten by a radioactive spider? This one comes with a red bun with black sesame seeds, just like a certain superhero’s costume.
That is not the only thing BK is doing in honor of the film’s release. They also created a soft-serve sundae covered with red and black chocolate popping candy.
I will try the dessert, but I am going to avoid the burger. Remember when the fast food giant came up with a Halloween Whopper and the black bun was turning people’s poop green? I don’t want to have webs coming out of my butt.
