FAST FOOD NEWS: Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s All-Natural Charbroiled Chicken Breast Fillet

All Natural Charbroiled Chicken Fillet

Over the past few years, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s have been transitioning to all-natural proteins. In 2014, they rolled out an all-natural, grass-fed beef patty with no added hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. Last year, Carl’s Jr. introduced the chain’s All-Natural Charbroiled Turkey Burgers. This year, it’s chicken’s turn.

The new All-Natural Charbroiled Chicken Breast Fillet is minimally processed with no artificial additives or preservatives. It replaces the chicken on both chains’ charbroiled chicken sandwiches, which are the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s Charbroiled Chicken Club Sandwich and Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich (shown above), and the Carl’s Jr. Charbroiled Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich. The new chicken breast fillet will not affect the prices of the sandwiches.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Dunkin’ Donuts Wildberry Smoothie

Dunkin Donuts Wildberry Smoothie

It’s hot outside. Ugh. It’s over 100 degrees in some places. If you want some relief from the heat and want to try something new, Dunkin’ Donuts has you covered with the chain’s new Wildberry Smoothie.

Or you could walk into an air conditioned building you’ve never been in before.

The Wildberry Smoothie combines low-fat yogurt with real strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry. I imagine “wildberry” is a hip way to say “mixed berry.” Also, I imagine there’s a hipper way to say “hip.” The smoothie is available all day for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ Donuts locations.
