NEWS: Jack in the Box’s New Grilled Sandwich Has What Men Crave – Bourbon, BBQ, and Steak

Update: Click here to read our Jack in the Box Bourbon BBQ Steak Grilled Sandwich review

Grunt. Grunt. Grunt. Grunt.

You hear that? I’m grunting like a manly man. Don’t believe I’m a manly man, I’ve got the voluptuous chest and back hair to prove it. Because I’m a manly man, the new Jack in the Box Bourbon BBQ Steak Sandwich makes my voluptuous chest hair stand up with excitement.

The sandwich is made up of steak strips, grilled onions, cheese and Jack in the Box’s new Bourbon BBQ sauce in between two slices of grilled artisan bread. The sandwich is the fourth in Jack’s Grilled Sandwich line, joining the Turkey, Bacon & Cheddar, Deli Trio, and Grilled Breakfast Sandwich.

Jack in the Box’s Bourbon BBQ Steak Grilled Sandwich will be available for a limited time starting Monday, April 25th. However, it won’t be available at locations in Austin, Houston and Kansas City. So the manly men there won’t be able to have their chest hair tickled by it.

NEWS: Wendy’s Bistro Cheddar Cheeseburger Sounds Fancier Than It Probably Is

Wendy's, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.JPG

Like an eighth grade essay, I’m going to begin this post with a definition, which I got from the ultimate eighth grade essay resource, Wikipedia.

A bistro, sometimes spelled bistrot, is, in its original Parisian incarnation, a small restaurant serving moderately priced simple meals in a modest setting. Bistros are defined mostly by the foods they serve. Slow-cooked foods like braised meats are typical. Bistro patrons do not expect printed menus or professional service.

Now I wouldn’t call Wendy’s a bistro, but they’re trying to sound like one with their new Wendy’s Bistro Cheddar Cheeseburger, which I learned about via An Immovable Feast. The burger is made of a beef patty, two slice of Applewood bacon, two slices of cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a “Bistro sauce” in between a bun.

There isn’t any information about the Bistro Cheddar Cheeseburger on the Wendy’s website, so they’re probably just testing it out in limited markets. But if you want to read a review, go visit Justin at An Immovable Feast and read his review.

McDonalds

Update: Click here to read our McDonald’s McBites review

Sure, I can’t tell you what part of the chicken are in McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, but even if I did know and it wasn’t the good parts, I’d still probably eat them by the McLoad because they’re McYummy in my McTummy and I adore McDonald’s Hot Mustard Sauce. However, the McDonald’s Chicken McBites, which are currently being tested in Detroit, might do what McDonald’s Chicken Selects couldn’t do, which is lure me away from McNuggets.

According to Burger Business, McDonald’s first introduced Chicken McBites in Australia. However, they are no longer selling them there, since it was a limited edition item. (Here’s a review of the Australian Chicken McBites). Those McBites were made out of 100 percent chicken breast-meat, had a Southern-style coating, didn’t come with a dipping sauce, and were similar in size with KFC’s Popcorn Chicken.

Burger Business goes on to report that the Chicken McBites in Detroit are being sold by weight. A 4-ounce serving goes for $1.99, 6 ounces cost $2.99, and a 12-ounce serving goes for $4.99.

NEWS: Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Taco Sounds Like The Work Of Creative Stoners

Doritos

Now that’s what I’m talking about, bitches! And when I say, “bitches,” I mean Taco Bell.

According to a post at TIB’s plutonic friend, Grub Grade, Taco Bell is testing out in select markets the Doritos Locos Tacos, which is a taco made with a shell that basically a taco-shaped Doritos Nacho Cheese chip.

After doing a bit more digging, I came upon a YouTube video from July 2010 of someone trying the Doritos Locos Tacos. So Taco Bell has been testing it for a while. After doing more digging, it turns out the Doritos Locos Tacos come in regular and supreme versions, which retail for 99 cents and $1.29, respectively.

To be honest, this makes me a little happy because it’s something I always hoped Taco Bell would release. If the Doritos Locos Taco is rolled out nationally, my gut looks forward to it.

NEWS: Taco Bell’s Cheesy Double Decker Taco Is Cheeserrific, But Not Very Creative

Update: Click here to read our Taco Bell Cheesy Double Decker Taco review

Taco Bell’s Double Decker Taco is my favorite menu item to eat on their vast board of kinda-but-not-really Mexican food. There’s something about the combination of a warm, soft flour tortilla, filled with beans, wrapped around a taco that contains seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded lettuce that makes me crave it like a recently converted vegetarian craves meat.

It’s like Taco Bell Frankensteined their taco with their bean burrito.

This week, Taco Bell introduced a variation of their Double Decker Taco, the Cheesy Double Decker Taco. Now you might be asking yourself, but doesn’t it already have cheese? Yes, it does, but when Taco Bell adds “cheesy” to the name of a product, it’s the kitchen code word for a hearty helping of their nacho cheese sauce.

The Cheesy Double Decker Taco has 350 calories, 15 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 760 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.
