Update 2: Click here to read our Jack in the Box Outlaw Spicy Chicken Sandwich review

Starting today, Jack in the Box will be offering two “new” sandwiches: the Outlaw Burger and the Outlaw Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

Oh, what’s with the quotation marks around the word “new”?

Jack in the Box’s press release says they’re new, but this post from 2006 proves otherwise. Although, there are slight differences between the 2006 version of the Outlaw sandwiches and the 2011 versions, like the type of barbecue sauce and bacon.

This year’s versions of the Outlaw sandwiches come with either a beef patty or spicy crispy chicken fillet and topped with a bourbon barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, hickory-smoked bacon, American cheese, and onion rings in between a sesame seed bun.

The Outlaw Burger has 725 calories, 39 grams of fat, 16 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 1,558 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein. The Outlaw Spicy Chicken Sandwich has 771 calories, 32 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1,859 milligrams of sodium, 80 grams of carbohydrates, and 37 grams of protein.

The Outlaw Burger and Outlaw Spicy Chicken Sandwich are available for a limited time at your local participating Jack in the Box.

NEWS: McDonald’s Offering Sweet Autumn Shake At Limited Locations

First Time Outside - Orange Kitten in Autumn Leaves

Update: Click here to read our McDonald’s Sweet Autumn Shake review

Yesterday, Impulsive Buy reader Lisa told us on our Facebook page about McDonald’s new Sweet Autumn Shake. It’s features cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in McDonald’s reduced fat ice cream and topped with whipped cream and a cherry.

After doing a little searching on Google, it appears to be a regional (or test) item, available at select McDonald’s locations in the Midwest and East Coast. It’s been available at some of those locations since the beginning of the month.

I do have my doubts that it will be rolled out nationwide because the McDonald’s restaurants here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean have just begun offering the limited time only Arctic Orange Shake.

But I’m not sure I want to try the McDonald’s Sweet Autumn Shake, because Lisa said of it, “Nastiest thing I’ve had in a while.” However, here’s a positive review, so it might not be as bad.

If you’ve had the McDonald’s Sweet Autumn Shake, let us know what you think about it in the comments below.

NEWS: Domino’s Artisan Pizza Is Perfect For Those Who Have a Fear of Circles

Update: Click here to read our Domino’s Artisan Pizza review

Our friends over at Grub Grade broke the news last month about the new Domino’s Artisan Pizzas, and now they’re available nationwide.

The new pizzas come in three varieties:

Spinach & Feta: Alfredo sauce, feta and parmesan-asiago cheeses, fresh baby spinach, and onion toppings on an artisan-style crust.

Italian Sausage & Pepper Trio: Parmesan-asiago cheese and sliced Italian sausage with a trio of roasted red, green, and banana peppers on an artisan-style crust topped with a dash of oregano.

Tuscan Salami & Roasted Veggie: Salami, spinach and onions, roasted red and banana peppers, and a dash of oregano, all over a garlic parmesan sauce on an artisan-style crust.

Grub Grade also posted a review of all three Artisan Pizza varieties.

The rectangle-shaped pizzas serve two and measure 13 inches by 9 inches. They also bring back memories of the rectangle Little Caesar’s Pizza and the rectangle-shaped pizza they served in the cafeteria when I was in grade school.

In Grub Grade’s review, the Artisan pizzas are cut up into six slices, but according to the nutrition facts there are eight servings per pizza. So you’re gonna have to do some math to figure out how many calories and grams of fat each slice provides. I would do it for you, but I’m an Asian who sucks at math, but is awesome at lovemaking.

The nutrition facts for a serving of the Italian Sausage & Pepper Trio has 160 calories, 7 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 330 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein. A serving of Spinach & Feta has 150 calories, 7 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 250 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 6 grams of protein. Finally, the Tuscan Salami & Roasted Veggie has 150 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 280 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

NEWS: Popeyes Rol’n Out Dip’n Chick’n

This week, Popeyes, a place most of you have probably never eaten at, launched their new Dip’n Chick’n for a limited time. The new menu item is made up of chicken breast medallions marinated in Louisiana herbs, breaded, and fried.

Dip’n Chick’n follows Popeyes’ August limited time offer menu item, Rip’n Chick’n, which were partially cut chicken breasts marinated in a blend of chilies and peppers and served with a ranch dipping sauce. If Dip’n Chick’n becomes successful, we might see other boneless chicken breast variations with dipping sauces later this year or next year.

Using my rhyming ability, which I gained from reading a lot of Dr. Seuss and listening to my favorite hip-hop group of all time, A Tribe Called Quest, I going to guess future variations could be Chip’n Chick’n, Drip’n Chick’n, Strip’n Chick’n, Trip’n Chick’n, Grip’n Chick’n, Clip’n Chick’n, Flip’n Chick’n, or Tip’n Chick’n.

Popeyes’ Dip’n Chick’n also comes with a double-sized portion of blackened ranch dipping sauce, Cajun fries and a biscuit. It has a suggested price of $3.99.
