This is how you do cheap grub with a lot of variety. Steak ‘n Shake recently introduced a new $4 Menu which features about 20 items all for under $4. You’ve got four styles of footlong hotdogs, a taco salad, chili and of course a bunch of Steakburgers.
Below is a rundown of the 7 specialty Steakburgers on the $4 Menu… all served with fries too. Chefprotoss did the 7×7 already, but here’s 7 newbies with more variety. I think the Bacon Horseradish Single and the Jamaican Jerk Double look interesting.

For a limited time starting Monday, May 6th, participating McDonald’s locations will have a McWrap BOGO deal. Buy One McWrap, Get One for 99 cents. I spotted this promo via TV ads in the DC Metro area market. If you know your regional market promotion, let us know in the comments. $3.99 for one McWrap is the regular price, so two for $5 is a great deal if you can find it. 
It’s hard for me to have any interest over the recently released Moonlight Meal Deal from Wendy’s. The Moonlight Meal Deal is a $5 combo that consists of a Double Stack burger, Chili Cheese Fries and a large drink. I felt like breaking down the business move by Wendy’s and giving my personal take on it. Feel free to give us your opinion on the combo deal in the comments.
My lack of interest comes from a few different angles. Let’s break down the major points:
#1: It’s only available after 10pm: Maybe I’m slightly outside of the target demo for the Moonlight Meal Deal, but come on Wendy’s… after 10pm only? I bet the dinner time crowds die down significantly after 8pm so why not stretch it out to after 8pm instead? Having “Happy Hour” prices is a new trend that has spilled over into the fast food world a little more these days and I think it’s a great business strategy. After 10pm only special pricing wouldn’t be so bad if there was actually more to it. … continue reading “Breaking Down the Moonlight Meal Deal at Wendy’s”
The Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich was a limited time offer back when I reviewed it in January and it’s now a permanent menu item at Dunkin’ Donuts. The 390-calorie Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich features a pepper fried egg, turkey sausage patty and a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese, served on an oven-toasted English Muffin.
Additional menu updates include a couple of newly featured Coolatta drinks… Raspberry Lime and Berry Blast. Dunkin’ Donuts sent me a $5.00 gift card to try some of the goods, but I’ve got to feed my kids first. Who wants it? Leave a comment.

Usually, when you’re given house chips, it’s a good thing. It means you’re ahead of the game; you can’t lose. In my book, I usually see Arby’s as ahead of the game before I walk in the door based on my past experiences, mostly related to their roast beef. Another of my favorite Arby’s assets is their namesake sauce. So, when I heard they were going to make Arby’s Sauce flavored House Made Chips, I was eager to give them a try. After all, Arby’s does well with other fried potatoes which I often dip in Arby’s Sauce, so why not?
As a day-job scientist-type, I thought it important to test the new chips against a control. Therefore, I decided to pair the chips with the most time-tested of Arby’s offerings; that being their regular roast beef sandwich, sans the lauded new bun and pickles. As per my normal routine, I picked up some Arby’s sauce to adorn my roast beef, but had to wonder whether I would need it given the promise of the Arby’s Sauce flavoring on the chips. I also wondered if I needed to order anything else to satisfy my American sized appetite. Would a simple sack of chips be enough to fill me up along with my regular sized roast beef? … continue reading “Review: House Made Chips from Arby’s”
The featured Five Dollar Footlong at Subway this month is the Meatball Marinara. Customize it any way you want… but how does one customize a Meatball Marinara sub? If you were my friend Joel from Liberia, you’d add ham, turkey and pepperoni to it. First timer… still makes me laugh.
