NEWS: Subway Testing Creamy Sriracha Sauce

Subway, the fast food place micromanagers probably love, is testing a creamy sriracha sauce at select locations. The spicy sauce was spotted by the folks over at Foodbeast.

Currently, Subway’s spiciest sauce is probably their Chipotle Southwest Sauce, which I don’t think is at all spicy. Last summer, the sandwich chain tested a wasabi sauce, but it has yet to show up nationwide.

Brand Eating posted a review of the new sauce:

The sauce is a bright, almost neon orange; it almost makes you think you should take a Geiger counter to it. I figured I might as well just taste it by itself and dabbed some on my finger. I got some sweet tanginess paired with creaminess before the heat hit me. Wow! This is some seriously spicy stuff!

I hope this rolls out nationwide. But if not, I guess I could take the bottle of sriracha in my fridge and splooge some of it on my next Subway sandwich.

NEWS: If You Live In The Right States, You Can Enjoy Dunkin’ Donuts’ New Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

Dunkin’ Donuts has a new Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, but it’s available only to those who live in New England or in the Mid-Atlantic United States.

If you’re like me and don’t know which states those are because in school you were more focused on knowing state capitals than where states were on a map, here you go: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The new breakfast sandwich consists of a fried egg sprinkled with pepper, a turkey sausage patty, and a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese on a toasted English Muffin.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is under 400 calories and available for a limited time in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.
